No Prince Charming

Secrets of Stone, Book 1

De: Angel Payne, Victoria Blue

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Devon Grace

Once upon a time, there was a girl who dressed up and went to a big party at the palace. When she was there, she met a prince. They danced and fell in love....

Damn good line. Too bad I don’t believe a word of it anymore.

My name is Claire Montgomery, and I’m not a princess. I’m a fighter. I worked hard to earn my place on the emergency image repair team for one of the biggest public relations companies in the country. We’ve been called to the renowned Chicago headquarters of Stone Global Corporation, where it’s our job to clean up a heap of the Stone family’s filthiest laundry. Our success will be the biggest victory of my career. I’m on my game. I’m ready.

Why doesn’t ready include a contingency plan for Killian Stone?

Could have been better

This book started out fine but dang Claire for being “smart?” She came off really stupid! How old is she? 20? The constant crying for no reason at all was so freakin annoying... For someone in PR she sure enjoyed crowds before she got herself “together.” I truly wish there were real problems instead of her conjuring up problems... a supposed heroine who doesn’t know her back from front like a silly teenager... I started to wish Killian actually left her, I did like his character... she just came off more annoying than it was worth.

This book could have been so much better IF the writer made Claire more realistic and not a dumb 20 something trapped in a mind of a silly teenage girl who got lucky to snag a heart of a nice guy 🙄

If you are looking for constant crying, a girl who isn’t able to even enjoy the simplest carnal pleasures without talking to herself the whole time until Killian asks her to call his name? I mean Margeaux came off more mature even though she’s the villain and calculating.

I don’t know... I’m usually open to HEA but with a better developed story. This story really does have good bones but the childish behavior, the constant crying and her eyes "stinging" all the time? I was over it and ready to give up.

I don’t know how much the book was but not worth the credit.

redhat queen

This was a great story. The ending was kind of disappointing. I thought it should of ended with the main characters getting married and living happily ever after. Great narrators. I’ve listened to the two of them before. I love their interpretation of the storyline. Great writing as usual.

Females voice

I can’t finish this book with the voice of female whispering the whole time, such a shame since I liked the story but my ears couldn’t handle the female narrative.

Immature

Claire is a immature character, she’s not ready for adulthood, she dnt knw how to listen!
She just let ppl walk all over her and she just take it

good love story

I really liked this story, heroine confident one moment then only to change so quickly. why couldn't she tell him. I would've preferred the male narrator for the whole book because female was way to breathy.

I love it.

This was beautifully written, can’t wait to continue the Stone series .. The narrations were perfect.. Jason and Devon did a wonderful job.. I love finding a book I just can’t put down or stop listening too..

Well done...

This was a pretty good story. Now, I might have enjoyed it more had I not been feeling yucky but, it was still a good story and it kept me interested from beginning to end. I liked the characters. They were well developed and complex enough not to be boring. I liked the plot because it moved at a decent pace. There were a few times I think it moved a bit too slow, but those were few and minor issues. There were a few characters that I truly disliked which, of course, means the author wrote them correctly. Well done to her for that. All-in-all, it was a fun, romantic, steamy and at times frustrating story that I enjoyed listening to. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next for the Stone family.

Female narrator was awful

I can barely tell you what the book was about because I was so distracted that the female narrator sounded like she was hiding in a closet reading the book aloud. I can't even finish it because I can't stand to hear her whisper anymore.

Drags on and on

I really like Jason Clarke, but not sure if I’m going to be able to finish it. 3 hours in, and it’s just not grabbing me. Really can’t take the female narrator. If it was all done by Jason maybe I could last longer.

This story just doesn’t ever seem to be going anywhere.

whispering

in my opinion the narration kind of killed it for me she kept whispering the female narrator and it just threw me off
