Audiobook Review: Persuading Her Protector (Napoline Royals #2) by: Allison Gatta (Author), Audra Cook (Narrator)


Luca and Ellaria are the definition of love. Gatta does it again. Persuading Her Protector goes beyond the fantasy of the fairytale and shows the power of love. Gatta and her Napoline Royals prove that love is not based on a title, but the strength of emotion. Cook lends her voice to a captivating tale of sacrifice and romance. I left my heart behind.

a night of passion and mistaken identity has consequences . . . 

Frumpy Lady Prudence Mayville has harbored a tendre for the devilishly dashing Lord Ravensbrook since her days in the schoolroom. So when the sotted earl mistakes her room for his and her for his mistress, Prudence finds it impossible to resist a chance to experience his passionate lovemaking. When Kolton, Lord Ravensbrook awakens naked in the wrong room and realizes what had occurred, he does the honorable thing and asks for Prudence's hand in marriage. Kolton is stunned when she turns him down flat. Why on earth would a compromised spinster refuse the most eligible bachelor of the season? Humbled, Kolton tries to overcome her objections, but will he be successful in persuading Prudence?

 

Review

 

This is a lovely little romance about two kind people, a wrong bed, and falling in love. The heroine's parents' story make her a bit untrusting and there is a bit of blackmail to make for some action in the plot outside of the hero's pursuit of the heroine. If you like plain spinsters, wrong beds, and spice, you should enjoy this historical read!

 

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard over a book. Or maybe because I've been feeding myself with emotionally draining stories more than I should, this one is indeed a welcome change. It has been a while since I last read chick flick. While I don't particularly love chick flick, this one was worth the energy, the time, yadda yadda. You get the drill. If you need to de-stress or read something light for a chance, then read Persuading Annie.

One thing that bugged me though, I feel Annie and Jake are underdeveloped when they are supposed to be the main characters of the story.Instead, the attention unnecessarily goes to Victoria and Charles. I'd like to know more of what happened to Annie and Jake after their break up. By the end of book, I felt rushed and everything fell into place way too quickly. Like Melissa has ran up the pages number and needed to quickly fold the story and hence the ending.

But it was good nonetheless. Annie and Cass are so hilarious!
