About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Sarah MacLean returns with a blazingly sexy, unapologetically feminist new series, Hell's Belles, beginning with a bold, bombshell of a heroine, able to dispose of a scoundrel - or seduce one - in a single night.

Sometimes the best gentleman for the job is a lady.

After years of living as London's brightest scandal, Lady Sesily Talbot has embraced the reputation and the freedom that comes with the title. No one looks twice when she lures a gentleman into the dark gardens beyond a Mayfair ballroom...and no one realises those trysts are not what they seem.

No one, that is, but Caleb Calhoun, who has spent years trying not to notice his best friend's beautiful, brash, brilliant sister. If you ask him, he's been a saint about it, considering the way she looks at him...and the way she talks to him...and the way she'd felt in his arms during their one ill-advised kiss.

Except someone has to keep Sesily from tumbling into trouble during her dangerous late-night escapades and maybe close proximity is exactly what Caleb needs to get this infuriating, outrageous woman out of his system. But now Caleb is the one in trouble, because he's fast realising that Sesily isn't for forgetting...she's forever. And forever isn't something he can risk.

Good

Sadly, I didn’t enjoy this audiobook as much as I thought I would. It started off well but then seemed to drag on with some repetition that got tedious towards the later half of the book. Although the narrator did an excellent job with her characterisations and energised action scenes, the story had the potential to be a lot more intriguing, complex and exciting but seemed to miss the mark.

Overall, it’s still a good story with a great concept, and interesting characters whom I expect will get their own moments to shine within this series.

Girl Power!

I haven't read a historical romance before, but purchased this after listening to the Fated Mates podcast. This was such an easy read. It was so action packed, oh so romantic and was just generally such a delight to read such a girl power kick ass book. Can't wait for the next Hells Bells book.

Always a pleasure

If you've followed the Talbot sisters, you'll love this book. Sesily and Caleb finally come together and it's passionate and true to character.

Terrible

Don’t waste your time, the author is confused on what century she’s writing about. Even if this doesn’t bother you, the story was lame and boring
