An American in London

By: Louise Bay

Narrated by: Erin Mallon

For a people-pleasing New Yorker and a disagreeable (if seriously hot) Brit, it’s love at fourth sight in a funny and emotional romantic comedy by a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author.

Tuesday Reynolds’s dreamy life in Manhattan has gone belly-up. Ditched by her college sweetheart and with her Wall Street banking job at risk, she’s off to London to prove herself to a new CEO. Plans change when Tuesday meets Ben Kelley, a wealthy, scowly, and movie-star-handsome stranger. He’s just missing one thing to make his professional dreams come true.

What does Ben need? Oh, just a fake fiancée to impress a duke and duchess. What’s in it for Tuesday? Enough money to put a down payment on an apartment back in New York, a new wardrobe, and a weekend in the country at the stately home of the duke and duchess. The Bridgerton vibes are absolutely off the charts.

Everything between Ben and Tuesday is completely professional, until the rehearsals for their weekend romance start to feel…almost authentic.

It’s official. Tuesday’s life has been hijacked by a rom-com scriptwriter. But the best love stories aren’t the ones on the big screen. Maybe they’re the real ones that sneak up on you when you least expect it.

Critic reviews

“An American in London is an absolute delight! Full of some of my favorite tropes and set in one of my favorite cities, this is the perfect book to enjoy at the beach or by the pool. A fun and frothy read I couldn't put down!”—Falon Ballard, USA Today bestselling author of Change of Heart

amazingly funny

The wonderful ending! This book is an absolute masterpiece. perfected no doubt from countless hours of rom coms.

Narration

story was great and Erin was great. I just wish the story has dual POV instead of just Tuesday.

Weird reader. Great story.

The reader drops her voice at the end of lines and it’s odd and distracting.

Narrator too dramatic

I loved the story, but the narrator was a little too dramatic in her performance.

Great book

I loved this book!!!! I truly enjoyed the narration, the story. it was very entertaining.
