It's been a hot minute since I read/listed to a romance set in history. I'm a contemporary girl. But, 𝙳.𝙴. π™³πš’πšŽπšπš£'𝚜 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒅 π‘©π’š 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒆𝒅 π‘Ύπ’Šπ’“π’† was a refreshing break from my contemporary listens. I am a huge fan of anything 1920s, so I devoured this one!
β€Œ
𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐀𝐲 𝐁π₯𝐒𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 fans, this one is for you(us)! I am obsessed with the show, so getting to have that vibe in this book, as we watch Everett's obsession with Brielle unfold, it was absolutely addicting! The mafia of Lockham, England are absolutely powerful!
β€Œ
π™³πš’πšŽπšπš£ adds the perfect amount of intrigue & angst with this one. From the murder mystery elements to the brooding, boy obsessed vibes of Everett, to the blossoming mafia queen that was Brielle, every second of this story kept me on the edge of my seat!
β€Œ
Let's talk about 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑒 π‘…π‘œπ‘ π‘’'𝑠 narration. She is new to me and I absolutely loved her. She put her whole self into bringing us Brielle and I am now a fan! π½π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’π‘  π½π‘œπ‘ π‘’π‘β„Ž.....my heart! It's been a bit since I listened to him narrate a story and it was like coming home! He truly brought the grumpy Everett to life for me. His voice is....*chef's kiss*! Together, these two narrators were a powerhouse duet!
β€Œ
Again, I say if you're a fan of 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐀𝐲 𝐁π₯𝐒𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, then you'll want this one in your library. It's instense, it's captivating, it's beautiful. From the banter between the characters to the plot line, to perfect amount of spice, this is one ride, I'm glad I went on!
