About this listen
Brooke Chapman-Powell takes her position as the Earl of Englefield’s personal secretary very seriously. This job is what keeps her sister in the university for the deaf and the town from completely shutting down. But the earl is dying, and they have only one hope: an American, from some place called Salvation, Virginia.
Now she will have to teach the in-all-likelihood-uncouth-and-lazy half American how to be a proper earl if they hope to save the village. God help them all.
Nick Vane has about two gazillion things that land higher on his to-do list than becoming an English earl. Things like naps. Hosting poker nights. Oh, and raking in the profits from his latest invention. But accepting the title that his grandfather has denied him since birth? It doesn’t even register. But Miss Prim-and-Proper won’t give up, and before he knows what’s what, he is on a plane to London.
He has too much pride to go down easily, and she’s got too much propriety to ever break the rules. They are as different as a cocktail fork and a bread knife - and the clash between them lands these two in the most unexpected positions.

It's in the delivery
I adore Avery Flynn as an Author and she's had some pretty fantastic Narrators for her books on Audible. I was especially impressed with the subtle ways in which John Lane showed Brooke's character through her accent. If you listen carefully, it changes depending on how she is feeling throughout the book. Clipped and proper when in control, but her Yorkshire accent slips though slightly. I loved how immersive it made the story.
This book in particular I was a little sceptical about at first. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect because I have been reading Avery Flynn's Ice Knights series, and The Hartigan's series. This was different. The essence of a Flynn book was still there in her characters though. They all had a stock character stereotype, they all broke that stereotype and became fully fleshed out characters that could 100% exist in the real world. The side characters were more than just plot devices, they grounded the main characters in the "world" Flynn was cresting.
5/5 Stars.

Such an easy listen.
I was curious how this would go with only 1 narrator but John Lane is ridiculously talented. It actually fitted with him doing both voices and narrative. I really enjoyed it.
As for the storyline, this was such an easy one to listen to. The banter and chemistry between the H and h was sweet and spicy, and such a different theme to the book. I've enjoyed all of Avery's books that I've read so far.

The narration really makes it
This was very unexpected.. a case of 'you can't tell a book by its cover'. The cover not only tells you nothing of how it is, I could have passed this by.
Unexpected story with lots of humour, heart and wonderful narration. I'm new to John Lane as narrator but will watch for him from now on.
