AMERICAN ROYALTY

Wesleigh Sioban and Antony Ferguson narrate a royal romance subtly inspired by Harry and Meghan. Can an American rapper and a reluctant British prince make their relationship work, or will it fizzle under the pressure of their respective responsibilities? Siobhan shines as Dani "Duchess" Nelson, a charismatic rapper who wants to expand her brand and gain control over her life and career. Ferguson is believable as Prince Jameson, a somewhat reclusive royal who works as a professor and stays far away from the rest of his family. Siobhan delivers the emotionally stronger performance as she charts Dani's journey from rapper to royal love interest. Both narrators struggle slightly with the other's accent, but overall their performances are solid. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2022]
