    About this audiobook

    Kat Roberts has a plan. Love doesn't fit into it.

    Move to England.

    Study at Cambridge.

    Become a history professor.

    See? No room for dating or love. Life is going exactly according to plan….until she met him one snowy night in an English pub. Tristan Kingsley, the future Earl of Pembroke. He's as gorgeous as a god, funny, sweet, and oh-my-god that accent… With a chiseled jaw, bewitching eyes, and a voice as smooth as a glass of brandy…he's every woman's dream. He tempts Kat to leave her carefully laid plans behind as she falls head over tea kettle for this British playboy.

    Tristan Kingsley went into the bar that night to avoid the duties of his future as a titled lord. When a gorgeous American girl kisses him on a dare from her friends, that kiss turns his world upside down. Oh, he's used to having exactly what he wants: women, money, notoriety. But now he wants Kat. In his arms, in his bed—and the more time he spends with her, the more he wants her in his life. Tired of shallow, social climbing English debutantes, Tristan can't get enough of his brilliant, sweet Yank.

    But not everyone is happy with the situation. His father, the Earl of Pembroke, has other plans for Tristan, and getting rid of Kat is number one on the list.

    If you thought this was a fairytale of a girl finding her Prince—er, Earl, and living happily-ever-after…then prepare yourself for one heck of an American Revolution.

      Great read and very interesting book series although this is the first of five series books and I was able to read the fourth book. Now I have the interest to know the story from the beginning. Now I am going to learn more about the lives of couples and their friends. This book was so well written and executed that it surprised me a bit on how good the storyline is also excellent work. I want and say bravo to Lauren Smith for not writing a trope that could easily have me rolling my eyes.
      But what I can tell you is that Ms. Smith has perfectly delivered a story that had me intrigued with the characters Kat and Tristan. Kat is a young American, who is off studying in Cambridge while her father is currently employed at a financial institution in London. Kat is smart, beautiful, and yet naive 19 years old. She has always followed the rules and so when an opportunity presents itself to be bold and adventurous, Kat decides to live a little. She wants to experience a real kiss and meet a boy and experience a relationship. So, on her 19th birthday, she decides to be brave and kiss a stranger, who had piqued her interest. And this kiss was the kind of kiss to stop traffic.
