What a hot Brit!!!

A fabulously hot romance. The build up of the relationship between Cameron and Sterling was great and his British accent made me swoon ❤ Well done to both the narrators in making this story come to life. It deserves far more than 5 stars

Lovely Story but that accent…

I enjoyed the story but I found the British accent used very jarring. I’m British and I’m not used to an accent like that and I think it unlikely a British person in New York would have an accent like that. He sounded like he was a news broadcaster.

Cringy.

Story was nothing special, but ok.
The male narration was awful. Very unrealistic British accent. Not even very posh British people speak like this. I had to fast forward a couple of the male narrated parts because they were so incredibly cringy.

good listen

although I enjoyed the story I found the British accent a twee, I'm British and have never heard a man speak like that but it was a good story and funny and enjoyable as usual

Great story

I really enjoyed the story and the steamy parts. The narration was good but I prefer an American accent even though I am English.

Great steam…

Excellent attempt at a British accent. But let’s face it, we don’t listen to this stuff for total reality. Rather for a bit of fun and one has to suspend disbelief anyway for the storyline. Still, it was cute and ticked all the boxes. John Lane has a sexy voice and the steamy parts were very well written!

Good but predictable

This was a fun, steamy love story where a divorce lawyer is forced to marry in order to get a massive inheritance. He has the hots for his matchmaker and things get complicated.
The narration was great, it is impossible to resist a British accent.

Great

Yey! Dual narration again. I really prefer the male and female narrators rather than just the male doing both. Really enjoyed the story and getting to see how things progressed for Noah and Olivia.

British accent - Ignore the comments.

Everyone criticising "the attempt at the English/British accent" by the male narrator, saying that he does not sound British at all, must be from other parts of Britain or from other countries.

This sounds like Modern RP English. A relaxed version of RP English (the really posh accent). Think Emma Watson, she speaks with a Modern RP accent. I am not quite sure why he pronounces "bra" and "palm" the way that he does but the rest definitely sounds like someone from London. If the narrator is not actually British, he did a bloody good job, that's for sure.

The use of the word "Love" is also very common so I didn't find it out of place at all. The use of the words "Love" and "Darling" is more than overused here if you are not accustomed to it but that is just the way it is here. And plenty of people who speak with a Modern RP accent (relaxed posh) do use the word "Love". I know because many of my own friends do, as do I.

Yes, "Love" and "Darling" were more commonly used by those who speak with a cockney accent historically and still is but accents also mix and blend together here. There is literally a spectrum between RP English and Cockney. Many do not %100 fit in with either side of the spectrum, some are somewhere in the middle. That is just what happens as time goes by and you are constantly surrounded by a variety of accents, even with completely foreign ones such as the Jamaican or Nigerian accents. I hear blends all the time.

Also, to the person who says that he sounds like a news broadcaster... That is actually a compliment to the narrator if you appreciate that the RP English accent is becoming rare as time goes by.

Before recent years, you were required to have an RP accent to be a news broadcaster for the BBC. You would have absolutely no chance if you had a cockney or foreign accent and could not at least fake an RP accent perfectly. Only recently have they eased up on the "accent requirement" but it still seems to be mostly RP English and Modern RP, the latter of which is just RP but a little more relaxed as I said and more common than RP in this day in age.

To say that "his attempt was terrible" and does not sound British at all, is incorrect. Maybe he sounds nothing like you, just like I sound nothing like someone with a scouse accent but that does not mean that the scouse does not sound British (or even English). They do, they just sound different to me specifically.

Modern RP is just one of the many accents that we have here in Great Britain. Not everyone speaks like you just because you are British. There are countless accents just here in London, let alone in the entire United Kingdom.

I am a big fan of accents so I listen to accents more thoroughly rather than just a quick overview and my own personal accent is also Modern RP English (just a little more relaxed than than the narrator) so I recognise it and its attempts well, whether blended with other accents or not.

Sterling's story

The story lacked a bit for me. It wasn't as good as the more in depth three part story where Sterling is first introduced. I still enjoyed it, but would have preferred the story to be more detailed. It was very crude in places, which I found to be somewhat overboard. The female narrator was great as usual. 5☆. As for the male narrator, whilst I like the way he told the story the accent wasn't right. It was somewhat difficult to understand in places with strange pronunciation. 3☆. I would still recommend listening or reading though.
