The Unlikely Heir

Unlikely Dilemmas, Book 1

By: Jax Calder

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

What happens when the Prince of Wales falls in love with the prime minister?

My boring life working in an insurance call center in sunny California just took an unexpected turn. Thanks to my misbehaving relatives, I’ve leaped from obscurity to royalty as the new heir to the British throne.

But my welcome in England is about as warm as the weather. I arrive to discover a country horrified at the thought of an American version of Prince Charming and ready to revolt against the monarchy. I vow to my grandmother, the queen, that I will do everything possible to help her save the crown.

Unfortunately, royal life isn’t easy. From bewildering traditions, traitorous friends, and malevolent swans, the only thing I’m succeeding in is providing entertainment for the tabloids and social media trolls.

And then the broodingly handsome prime minister, Oliver Hartwell, bursts into my life.

With his meteoric rise from poverty to the most powerful man in the country, Oliver understands my current plight. Innocent messages of support turn into late-night chats—and unexpected feelings.

But there’s one major problem. The royal family must remain politically neutral at all times.

So how can I keep my promise to save the monarchy when I’m falling in love with the prime minister?

A forbidden romance filled with humor and drama featuring a bumbling Prince of Wales and a stern yet dashing prime minister, with a love that could transform a nation.

So good!!!

Loved this when I read it a year ago. Absolutely thrilled it was in audio and narrated by Gary Furlong. He is excellent at performing a full cast of characters seamlessly.
Highly recommend!

Pretty cute romance

I enjoyed this! But the ending didn’t sit well with me. Lol
I was like villainized feminism - yuck.
I also didn’t love the narrator for one of the characters.
But otherwise, it was a good story!

Excellent

This was a 4 star read for me, but with my "2nd reading" the audio bumped it to 5stars! Gary Furlong was excellent.

Perfection!!!

I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm so glad I gave it listen! This was so well written, so well narrated, and such a feel-good story! It was exactly what I needed. The only bad thing about this book is that it ended! I'm a new Jax Calder fan and I'll be reading and listening to more of their books for sure!
