About this listen
Brooke Chapman-Powell takes her position as the Earl of Englefield’s personal secretary very seriously. This job is what keeps her sister in the university for the deaf and the town from completely shutting down. But the earl is dying, and they have only one hope: an American, from some place called Salvation, Virginia.
Now she will have to teach the in-all-likelihood-uncouth-and-lazy half American how to be a proper earl if they hope to save the village. God help them all.
Nick Vane has about two gazillion things that land higher on his to-do list than becoming an English earl. Things like naps. Hosting poker nights. Oh, and raking in the profits from his latest invention. But accepting the title that his grandfather has denied him since birth? It doesn’t even register. But Miss Prim-and-Proper won’t give up, and before he knows what’s what, he is on a plane to London.
He has too much pride to go down easily, and she’s got too much propriety to ever break the rules. They are as different as a cocktail fork and a bread knife - and the clash between them lands these two in the most unexpected positions.

Fate Has Other Plans
4.5
This is a fun, lite hearted, quirky book, that I enjoyed reading. Nick is a brilliant, wealthy, sexy man with a chip on his shoulder regarding his parental history. Brooke is strong, smart, sassy, stubborn female who fears that she won’t be taken serious because of past relationship. The sparks fly between these two from the start, both sexually and in their banter. It was fun reading how these two put the other in their place.
The writing is easy to read, and the story is fun. The side characters added something to the story. Flynn did a really good job of including both the estate and the village in the story, they were treated like characters adding spice to the story. They also were used to show characteristics within each of the main characters.
While Nick’s paternal side was covered in the story, I wish that it had been done more in depth. While I really enjoyed this story, for me it felt like something was missing, or left incomplete and I think it was that.
I recommend this story to anyone who is looking for a story with strong characters and not a lot of angst. There are problems both real and imagined for these characters, but that’s about it. It’s one of those fun summer reads that will having you smiling by the end (I loved Nick’s romantic gesture).
I listened to this book on audio. The narrator did a good job of changing his voice when speaking for other characters so that it was easy to distinguish. He was easy to follow and understand.

Good Story with Great Narration
This feel good story was fun to listen to. The narration by John Lane was fantastic. I loved the different voices he used for the various characters. It was fun listening to him switch back and forth between an English accent and an American voice. Well worth the listen!!
