HEADLINERS London Celebrities, Book 5

Billie Fulford-Brown narrates a surprisingly low-key enemies-to-lovers romance that is, above all, an ode to skilled professionals doing their jobs amazingly well. Sabrina Carlton and Nick Davenport must turn their years-long rivalry into a functioning partnership—it’s either that or be fired. Fulford-Brown perfectly captures the way Sabrina and Nick’s relationship evolves. Each step along their path to love is noticeable upon reflection but never obvious at the time. Sabrina’s tone with Nick evolves from frostily polite to warily friendly to ardently enamored, and Fulford-Brown manages the transitions seamlessly. Similarly, her portrayal of Nick’s interactions with Sabrina shifts from coolly indifferent to cautiously amicable to passionately devoted. A deeply satisfying romance between two equals, performed exquisitely. K.M.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2020 Best Audiobook © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2020]
