About This Audiobook

Bellamy Sullivan has spent years scraping by—waitressing in Ohio diners, stitching alterations by night, and dreaming of a life where she isn’t just *making* clothes but wearing them. When a chance encounter with a wealthy client lands her an invitation to a high-society charity gala, Bellamy sees her big break. But what she doesn’t expect is to bump into Prince Edward, the notoriously private royal who’s more than just a charming face in the tabloids. *Royal Design* is a fresh, feel-good romance that trades cynicism for warmth, with a heroine who’s equal parts scrappy and self-aware. Sariah Wilson’s signature wit and heart shine in this underdog-to-bridal-aisle tale, where the stakes aren’t just about love but about proving that style belongs to everyone—not just the elite. The audiobook’s pacing is brisk, the dialogue snappy, and the emotional beats hit without overindulgence, making it an ideal pick for listeners craving romance that’s light on drama and heavy on charm. Narrator Angela Dawe elevates the experience with a lively performance—her Bellamy is spirited and grounded, while the supporting cast (especially the dry, aristocratic side characters) add just the right amount of playful contrast without veering into caricature.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Royal Design* expecting another predictable royal romance, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I genuinely enjoyed Bellamy’s journey. Angela Dawe’s narration deserves a standing ovation—she nails Bellamy’s Ohio twang without overdoing it, and her timing on the witty back-and-forth between Bellamy and Prince Edward is pitch-perfect. The chemistry between the leads feels earned, not manufactured, which is rare in this genre. That said, the middle act drags a bit when the story shifts to family drama; while the conflict is necessary, it slows the momentum just enough to make the audiobook feel slightly longer than its 2h54m runtime. Production-wise, the audio quality is crisp, with no distracting background noise, and Dawe’s voice never tires—even in the longer dialogue scenes. My biggest critique? The resolution wraps up a touch too tidily for my taste; I would’ve liked a grittier edge to Bellamy’s final confrontation with her past. Still, this is a smart, cozy romance that delivers exactly what it promises: a swoon-worthy escape with heart and humor.
