The Royal Agenda

Written by Wang Xie

Narrated by Sally Tipperton

Rory Meng is one of the top esports competitors in the world, whose team has just lost the championship to their closest rivals. After an altercation during a live stream goes viral for the wrong reasons, he's given an ultimatum: participate in a charity auction by providing fifty hours of free lessons to the highest bidder, or be forced into retirement. Thanks to his troubled past, Rory isolates himself from social settings and avoids being in the public eye, but he's determined not to end his career on a loss.

Jetsetter Liam Zhao is attractive and charming — everything Rory thinks he himself is not — with the resources for the winning bid and then some. Immediately he sets about testing Rory's boundaries with his extravagant lifestyle and flirtatious behavior, which puzzles and intrigues Rory by turns, while the longer Liam spends in Rory's company, the more he ends up questioning his own preconceived notions of the kind of person Rory is.

Is Liam trying to seduce Rory for his own sake, or does he have a secret agenda? Can Rory maintain his emotional distance, despite his growing attraction to Liam? Read on for a whirlwind tale of romance and redemption.

Reviews for The Royal Agenda

[AudioAddiction · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Story was not too bad, had potential, but wriiten sloppily at times. But why have a robot-like female as reader for 2 male MCs?? Would have been a much more enjoyable story with a decent male reader.
