In a world of wealth and power, the rules of love and war are nothing as they seem.

Nora Randolph never wanted a life of luxury. But when her mother falls in love with the heir to the British throne, their small-town lives are uprooted and every little girl’s fantasy becomes her reality. All too quickly, she learns the dangers of running in circles with the world’s elite, especially when she attracts the attention of Winston Academy’s resident golden boy.

Asher Frederick has known nothing but favor and fortune. The son of London’s most influential family, his future has been written in stone since infancy. But a tragic childhood loss redirects his course, and revenge has been boiling in his blood for years. When innocent and unaware Nora lands in his path, it’s as if the universe hands him the ammunition to finally drag his enemy through the mud.

But as his plan for vengeance gets more twisted, so do his feelings for Nora. And as her immersion into the upper crust dives deeper, she struggles to keep the secret she’s been guarding for eighteen years.

Heavy lies the crown, and when the ultimate betrayal blindsides her, will either of them survive the consequences that come crashing down on their heads?

These narrators were perfect for their characters.-- "Next Book review Blog"

About the Author

Lauren Sweet loves falling in love. The fact that she gets to do it every day is the best part of her job. She has narrated more than one hundred audiobooks, at least half of which are by USA Today or New York Times bestselling authors. Her greatest passions are reading and acting, so narrating audiobooks is a dream come true.

Shaun Grindell, actor and Earphones Award-winning narrator, was born and raised in Southampton, England. His training includes the Calland School of Speech and Drama and the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in London. He has been seen on stage in London and Las Vegas.

Author of romance novels such as Red Card and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the stories she dreams up, and the yoga pant dress code, much better. When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in the suburbs of New Jersey with her husband, daughter, and dog.

Emily Lawrence, an actor and writer, is passionate about bringing stories to life. She has narrated more than 190 audiobooks, half of which were USA Today or New York Times bestsellers, and has also worked in film, television, and theater.

It’s fun and sometimes light

Reviewed in Australia on 13 February 2018

I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I started this one. I was thinking, no way I was going to connect with these snotty high school bullies, but before I knew it I had. It’s fun and sometimes light; other times heavier and full of YA drama. It’s also sweet and emotional at times with loveable and realistic characters with great chemistry.

I liked Asher; his character is so arrogant but he has a sweet side too. He’s manipulative as well as being manipulated about what he’s expected to do as far as family expectations; current and future. He has so much anger for something he doesn’t fully understand and I was disappointed in his choice. It was hurtful not only to the intended target but he hurt himself in the process. His dad…Ugh, not even a little like for him!!

Nora is in a new country, new school, new friends, new life and it’s full of firsts. She’s quiet, strong, smart, and usually keeps to herself. I love how she put herself out there and took a chance but her poor heart, mine hurt for her. She’s very mature and I was proud of the difficult decisions she made for herself.

This is my first book by Carrie Aarons. I enjoyed her detailed writing; it had a great flow, serious, yet light and even funny at times. I’ve already started the second book in this series, Elite.

I love Carrie Aaron’s writing but her books are always so ...

Reviewed in Australia on 23 July 2017

4 Stars for Privileged!

I love Carrie Aaron’s writing but her books are always so different so I didn’t know what to expect with this one. I’ll just say that I wasn’t disappointed.

Nora is completely new to this new life she’s living. When her mother gets’s married, she is forced into a new world of rich teenagers and private schools and a new country. Nora has always wanted to just get by life flying under the radar but at her new school, that isn’t going to happen. Not if Asher can help it.

Asher is a rich privileged teen. At the start of the book he has a plan to use Nora to get revenge for his family but as he carries on he realises he actually might have feelings for her. However, it might not be enough for them to overcome what’s yet to come. Asher is a jerk, but he’s also complicated and I loved being inside his head and reading what he was thinking. Sometimes I was so frustrated but then there were moments where I really felt for him. Nora, on the other hand, was relatable, I liked being in her head because I could relate to the things she was going through. Nora and Asher had great chemistry that really added to this story and made them both perfect for each other. There were so many emotional moments and moments of vulnerability during the story that made the characters seem more real and more like the teenagers they are.

I would recommend, even if you don’t like reading books based on high school kids. Carrie Aarons is really talented and I think you’re really missing out if you don’t give her a chance.

Then I started to get a better feel for who he was

Reviewed in Australia on 23 July 2017

3.5 *'s.

When I first started reading this book, I was struggling. Mainly because I felt Asher was a prat. A manipulative prat, and it was off putting. Then I started to get a better feel for who he was, and what he was protecting. I also had to understand the house he grew up in, and where the manipulation came from. Then my feelings towards him grew and I wanted to hug him and hit him at the same time.

Nora was very naive and even with her gift, it didn't give her streets smarts, but she learnt quickly in her new environment. Not everyone was happy with the circumstances that bought her to London but I liked her a lot. She was extremely smart, a little sassy but mostly the innocence made her quite endearing. When these two were together, I had this conflicting feeling of wanting them to be a couple but also knowing what he really thought. It had me transfixed and wishing for their HEA.

On the whole, after I sorted out my feelings for Asher, I enjoyed the story. I know I am reading a book of fiction, and not all things are true, but some things didn't feel factual. I can't say too much without giving away spoilers, but a few little things felt out of place. This didn't interfere with how the story played out and I was pleased with the outcome.

* I received a copy for an honest review.

It was ok.

Nora was a bit too gullible for my liking- She fell in love/lust too quick for Asher and I felt their relationship was forced...No chemistry.

The misadventures of Nora and Asher - Biting wit and reluctant love

Reviewed in the United States on 22 July 2017

Verified Purchase

Genre: Romance - Enemies-to-lovers, Royalty, NA
Stand-Alone: Yes
Part of a Series: No
POV: Nora and Asher
Steam Level: Warm to Toasty
4.5/5

After her mom gets engaged, Nora is dropped into the world of dog-eat-dog elitism. Will she be eaten, disappear into the crowd or learn to swim with the sharks? Enter Asher - self-proclaimed manipulator and bully. After being a royal jerk to Nora he begins his journey to seduce and then ruin Nora and her happy new family.

Privileged is a fast-paced page turner of a book. I finished it in a day. The story of Nora and Asher was intriguing. Nora learns how to navigate her new life. No one is what they seem and her new "allies" give new meaning to frienimies. Both Asher and Nora learn to let their guard down, learn to trust and love, and have to figure out what (and who) is important. This book definitely could not work if the characters were much older (both are 18). And it definitely has a great message of finding who you are and your priorities. Privileged was a great book and I look forward to reading more of Carrie Aaron's work.

Nicht schlecht, aber auch nichts Besonderes

Reviewed in Germany on 25 February 2018

Verified Purchase

Ich weiß nicht, woran es liegt. Vielleicht war es zu oberflächlich beschrieben. Aber ich habe nicht wirklich gefühlt, was die Charaktere fühlten und das ist ein wichtiges Muss, damit die Geschichte mehr Sterne bekommt. Aber es war nicht schlecht. Es nahm mich nur nicht gefangen.

I wanted to hate Asher, but I adored him!

Reviewed in the United States on 24 February 2018

Verified Purchase

Privileged by Carrie Aarons is like The Princess Diaries meets Mean Girls and everything in between!

Nora has her life turned upside down when her mother falls in love with her very own prince charming, and now she's among the elite in London, attending "the" school and she's like a fish out of water. On her first day of school, she meets Asher who she's captivated by, even though he treats her like crap. All she wants to do is help her mom plan her wedding, get through her senior year, and go to college, easy enough right? Wrong! Especially with Asher making her life difficult and they are now forced together since every event, social gathering, etc they are near each other.

Asher has plans for Nora, and they aren't pretty. He wants to get close to her, but only to bring her and her soon to be step-father down. As the story progresses we find out why, but we also realize that maybe as much as we want to hate Asher, he may not be as bad as he thinks he is. Nora and Asher both are complicated characters and are drawn to one another, even though they don't want to be. I loved the push and pull between them, and their conflicted feelings towards one another. Watching them grow close only made me cringe, since I knew Asher was going to hurt her, and when he did, oh goodness did I want to cry and scream and hurt him.. but I think his punishment that he got was what he deserved.

This story was unique, full of drama, angst, and yet it had laughs, and a sweet love story as well. As much as you will want to hate Asher, you'll end up falling for him, trust me on this..because if you read this, you'll go, what in the world, is she crazy?! Just trust me.. When this book ended, I really did not want it to end, because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Nora and Asher, I adored their story, and how it ended, yet I didn't want to say goodbye. I am hoping we'll see them in future books in this series, even though each book is a stand-alone, one can only hope.

Missed the Mark

Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2019

Verified Purchase

2.75 stars. While this book has potential and was written fairly well, it missed the mark for me for many reasons.
1) It is listed as a high school read, but there is very little mention of high school at all, and the characters acted more like they were in middle school.

3) Nothing really happens in this book and there is a lot of story telling: “I've never done this…”, “I've never felts that…”, “I am not normal”, “I am so angry…” It felt forced to me.

2) The reasons for the revenge made little sense. The reasons for the main character to be vulnerable made no sense, and the “climax” was anti climatic. The intimate scenes were not even steamy, awkward even.

3) This is what bugged me the most and the main reason for my low star rating… I felt like this book was written buy a computer: checking boxes of what a book should have in it and trying to express human emotions when they have never been felt. The story was too stiff, too hard and I never connected to the characters.

Okay read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I’m torn between whether I liked this book or not. It seemed to jump from a to b rather quickly and not only that I don’t think very much happened in it to say there was much of a plot. However, despite their Gossip girlisms, I did really like the characters.
