CODENAME CHARMING

Anne-Marie Piazza offers a charming, flexible narration of this hearty romance. Petunia has been enjoying her quaint life as an assistant to a royal named Johnny, but her clumsiness finally lands her in hot water. After she stumbles into an awkward situation with the tabloids, she's given the choice to fake a relationship with Johnny's brooding bodyguard, Matthias, in order to avoid further scandal--or to lose her job. Piazza's range as each character is impressive. Petunia is portrayed as sweet and bubbly, which is a fine contrast to Matthias's stoic seriousness. While the couple's dynamic is colorful and entertaining, Johnny's bumbling personality adds another layer to a lively performance. This audiobook will more than satisfy listeners looking for a fun robust romance. G.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2023]
