Audiobook Tour: A Royal Shade of Blue By Aven Ellis

Author: Aven Ellis

Narrator: Andrea Emmes

Length: 10 hours and 1 minute

Series: Modern Royals, Book 1

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Released: Aug. 14, 2018

Genre: Romantic Comedy

 

  

When art-history student Clementine Jones receives a message complimenting her latest internship project, she doesn't hesitate to answer it. She never dreamed this decision would not only change her life, but the future of the British monarchy as well. Her response leads Clementine to the mysterious CP Chadwick, a British man studying history at Cambridge. Clementine finds CP charming, smart, and unlike any man she's ever met. Most of all, when she confides her medical past to CP, his perception of her doesn't change. He doesn't treat her as fragile like her parents do. CP sees her as normal, which is something she cherishes. Clementine, however, has no idea CP is actually Prince Christian of Wales, who has never had a "normal" life. Christian is at a crossroad. His destiny is to be a working royal, but he is desperate to fill that role in his own way. Wary of others, he's kept himself closed off from the world - until he lets Clementine in. A royal romance is never a fairy tale, but Clementine and Christian are determined to write their own version. Can they overcome their own fears - as well as the constraints of a royal life - to reach their own happily ever after?

This was my first Aven Ellis's book, and won't be my last. Clementine and Christian's modern fairy tale is sweet and beautifully written.  I love Royal's stories! Prince Christian is handsome, charming, fun, protective and supportive. Clementine is a fun character, strong and beautiful. The storyline is fast-paced, filled with twists and turns. The scenery is beautifully described. I loved their journey to love. Andrea Emmes did an amazing job with the narration. The voices were easy to distinguish. I enjoyed reading this story. Now, I'm looking forward for the next book in the Series.

A man who won't trust anyone...

Luca Rossi is a wanted man waiting for justice. On the run from the mafia and hiding out in Florida, the celebrated Italian writer has turned into a recluse, fearful that the next person he sees may also be the last. Waiting in isolation, he counts the days until he can breathe freely again and trusts no one, friend or foe. 

A reporter determined to get to the bottom of the story...

Skylar Shaw is an ambitious young reporter determined to make her name with a scoop - no matter what it takes. Beautiful, curvaceous, and fiery, her outward confidence masks hidden insecurities that push her to investigate - no matter what. 

When a plane spirals out of control and plows deep into the beach opposite Luca's hideout, he rushes out to help a victim. Gone before the authorities can take his name, Skylar soon tracks him down. Her intense curiosity about the mysterious rescuer may lead her down a path from which there is no return. 

Sparks fly as Skylar falls for Luca's exotic Italian accent and chiseled, tattooed body - and Luca finds his natural caution and reserves disarmed by the beautiful reporter. The two soon find themselves entangled in each other's arms - and while Luca tries to keep his secret covered up, Skylar's instincts lead her to dig deeper. What she uncovers brings them both to the attention of dangerous forces.

My Review

Dirty Lies by Tamara Lush
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Burning Secrets Series. This is a great romantic suspense. The storyline is complex, intriguing and suspenseful. Skylar and Luca are great characters and they share a sizzling chemistry. Matthew Davies did a good job with the narration. I'm looking forward for more books written by this author.
