Publisher's summary

When a struggling journalist meets a runaway princess, will it be the story of the century or the love of a lifetime?

Don't miss this hilarious new addition to the bestselling Americans Abroad series!

Jordan is an American journalist living in London, but when her newspaper is sold to an infamous tabloid king, she has one week to produce a tell-all story of the century or she’s out of a job, and out of the country. Then a runaway princess nearly falls into her lap. It seems like the answer to her prayers, but how can she write an exposé on a woman she’s falling in love with?

Abby was a typical California girl, until a twist of fate turned her into Princess Abigail, the heir to the throne of her father’s kingdom. When presented with an opportunity to escape her royal duties for a night out on the town while on an official state visit to London, she seizes the chance. But when she’s rescued by the woman of her dreams, she begins to doubt that she can ever return to royal life again.

As they have a madcap adventure exploring London together, both Jordan and Abby suspect they may have found their perfect match, but if the secrets they are hiding are exposed, will their relationship survive?

London Holiday is a modern-day fairytale inspired by the classic film Roman Holiday, with a lesbian twist. It is the fifth book in the Americans Abroad series of standalone romantic comedies. Don't miss Waltzing on the Danube, Home for the Holidays, Stockholm Syndrome, and Letters to Cupid for more stories of American women finding love with other women in distant places across the globe!

Light and sweet and made me laugh

This was a sweet, low angst story and the drama didn't quite go in the direction I thought it might. The narration was entertaining and I enjoyed listening to this while I worked. A good holiday read/listen.

Copy right?

This was almost word to word “Rome Vacation” but in London, I loved it, and the fact that it was a lesbian story was even better... sweet, well written but plot was well known...
Narration was excellent as usual.

A fun romantic comedy

London Holiday is a fun rich girl/poor girl romcom starring two Americans in London: a reluctant princess, and an unemployed reporter.
Has this been done before? Quite possibly, but that doesn't necessarily detract from the experience.
MacLeod manages to spin an enjoyable, light and sometimes hilarious story that will lighten up your day.

Don't pass this one up.

Modern fairytale!

If you like castles, kings and queens, fairytale stories, this is the book for you. Old time princess with a tiara and a full time help service set in a modern environment. It’s all about insta love, happy endings and did I mention princesses 😀! Such a lovely book

fun London love story

A fun love story. Miranda is an excellent story teller. So much humor, for me its the laugh out loud kind not just a smile.
Narrated by Stephanie Murphy who did an excellent job she makes the story come alive and adds so much to enhance the story.
i highly recommend this story, light, fun and so well done

What a fun story!

I love Stephanie Murphy’s narration of this cute and funny story about a princess and reporter falling in love. Seems far fetched in concept but Miranda does a great job making the story seem entirely possible.

Adventure, Surprise, and Romance!

London Holiday: Americans Abroad, Book 5 by Miranda MacLeod, narrated by Stephanie Murphy is an entertaining and engaging romantic comedy that's full of adventure, surprise, and light-hearted fun. This is the first book I've listened to in the Amercians Abroad series, so I wasn't sure what to expect, mainly because I've never read a book about two lesbians who have a romantic interest in one another. I was pleasantly surprised! I'm so happy I decided to add this one to my library because I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I love to travel, which is why I was originally drawn to this book. Needless to say, I loved exploring and learning about places I've never been before, alongside these two....and never once did they make me feel like a 3rd wheel. Hehee! Really, though, it is very well-written; the dialogue is excellent and the details are descriptive. Because I stayed smiling and laughing throughout, I definitely plan to check out the rest of the series!

This was also my first time listening to narrator Stephanie Murphy. I thought her performance was awesome, and she made my overall experience that much better. So much, in fact, that I forgot I was listening to a narrator tell the story! Isn't that the best?! She brought the events and characters to life and made me feel like I was part of the story. I loved it!

Overall, London Holiday: Americans Abroad, Book 5 by Miranda MacLeod, narrated by Stephanie Murphy gets a well-deserved 5/5 stars! I recommend this audiobook to those looking for a light and sweet romantic comedy, filled with adventure, laughs, and lots of fun.

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. Happy listening! :-)

Another cute and fluffy love story :)

One of the things I like most about Miranda's books is that they're guaranteed to be a safe space... the conflicts matter to the characters, but the stories are always light and the outcome is never in doubt (I mean, they're romances so the outcome is never *really* in doubt, but... :)). Sometimes you just want a light, fun love story, and Miranda always delivers.

An Amazing Read

Miranda MacLeod is quickly becoming a favorite author. This is the second story I have read by her and it did not disappoint. I love a good royal story with a HEA. This fit the bill to a T. Stephanie Murphy does an excellent job narrating. I could listen to her voice for hours. Oh wait, I did😉. I’d definitely recommend this book to any romance reader.

Quirky romp around London

I’ve really enjoyed the Americans Abroad series that Miranda MacLeod has put together and this is a fun addition. Stephanie Murphy was the perfect narrator choice to capture the light hearted fun of these two characters and their romp around London.
