About this listen

The Lady's Plan...

When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her 29th year her own, she has plans. Plans to inherit her father's business, to make her own fortune and to live her own life. But first, she has plans to experience a taste of the pleasure she'll forgo as a confirmed spinster. She does not, however, plan to find the most beautiful man she's ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin The Year of Hattie before it's even begun.

The Bastard's Proposal...

After waking in a carriage at Hattie's feet, Whit - a king of Covent Garden known to all the world as Beast - can't help but wonder about the strange woman who frees him...especially when he discovers her plans for a night of pleasure on his turf. He is more than happy to offer Hattie all she desires...for a price.

An Unexpected Passion...

Soon, Hattie and Whit find themselves rivals in business and pleasure: she won't give up her plans; he won't give up his power...but neither of them see that if they're not careful, they'll have no choice but to give up everything...including their hearts.

Justine eyre did an excellent job narrating this story. For the most part it was a very interesting story with very interesting characters however I did find the ending anti-climactic - hence 4 stars overall. I am interested to know what happens to the other two bare knuckle bastards - so weird that this (book 2) is available but 1 and 3 aren’t.

Enjoyable

The characters in this novel are fabulous. I would absolutely recommend it.
There are wonderfully strong and funny female characters, and devastatingly sexy male characters. The love scenes are very steamy and the drama had my eyes watering more than once.
Excellent narration.
5/5

Justine Eyre is such a wonderful narrator

well worth the credit

I read this one out of order in the books - but i think it would be better to read in order of the 3 books to get the whole story in order

Great characters

The narrator mispronounces many words and puts on a very strange accent when reading male dialogue. Am returning it.

Too long winded poor narration
