About this listen
An age gap, celebrity ice queen romance that will pull at the heart strings—even the icy ones!
Sydney MacKenzie, personal assistant to the rich and famous, is looking forward to a well-earned break to go travelling in her beloved VW camper van, Gertie. That is, until Gertie cries off sick. When her boss calls in a favor, one that will pay Sydney handsomely and put Gertie back on the road, she can’t refuse.
Internationally renowned actress Beatrice Russell—adored by her fans and despised by those that know her—is splashed across the tabloids, all thanks to her broken leg. She limps back to her palatial English country estate to convalesce for the summer, where she finds herself in need of yet another new assistant.
Enter Sydney, who doesn’t take kindly to the star’s demands, attitude, or clicking fingers—much less her body’s own attraction to the gorgeous diva. If not for that and Gertie’s worn-out engine, she would leave tomorrow. Or so she tells herself.
As the summer heats up, the ice queen begins to thaw, and Sydney glimpses the tormented woman beneath the celebrity bravado, drawing her ever closer to the enigmatic actress— sometimes too close.
Can Sydney reach the real Beatrice and help heal her wounds before the summer ends and she returns to filming in the States, or is the celebrity broken beyond repair?

Loved this.
Takes something well written and witty to turn my head and this had both of those things. I was utterly charmed. Beautifully read... Ms Dawe your Scottish accent is one of the best I've heard. I could listen to your voice slip in and out of English and American accents till the end of time and probably still want more. It did help that the words, characters with depth and descriptive writing furnished you with something beautful to narrate. Well done ladies. A triumph by any standard.

FANTASTIC
This is an emotional journey of honesty and integrity and falling in love. A beautiful romance that explorers the complexities of life and one's innermost insecurities and the injustices of life.
Angela Dawe is magnificent in her narration and this story sang out loud in pure perfection.

Very good!
Enjoyed this sweet, slow burning, Ice Queen, age gap, celebrity romance. Excellent story with great main and supporting characters, especially Gertie who I want to go on adventures in. Story is read by the great Angela Dawe (who I’ve loved since listening to “Breaking Character) instead of an native English narrator so there are occasional ropey moments with the accents but not enough to put you off being fully immersed and enjoying the story. Highly recommend.

Very good😘🤣
Loved it from start to finished! Character development in this story is great and story was Funny and sugary sweet in some places. Whilst the serious moments in the character's lives. Was somewhat sad but a turning point and sad but Letting the viewer see a little bit on how they worked With life and past trauma ( The narrator did a really good job with the characters I loved her different voices with each character, it was really good.).
