Boston’s most infamous femme fatale meets her match in a dangerously mild Englishman who has vowed to never marry in this romantic stand-alone from Washington Post best-selling author L.J. Shen

Emmabelle Penrose has cruised through life never needing a man, a plan that has worked stunningly well until about five minutes ago, when she decided she must have a baby.

Devon Whitehall is 6’2” of premium DNA, financial security, and British royal titles. Best of all, he fears the one thing she dreads the most: getting hitched.

Emmabelle figures it’s a no-brainer when Devon offers his services - sperm and involvement in her future child’s life.

What begins as an innocent modern-family arrangement quickly erodes into a web of lies, dark pasts, and unfurled secrets.

Inside this chaos, Emmabelle and Devon are forced to face the awful truth - they are capable of love.

Even worse, they might feel it toward each other.

This was a great finish to the series. I really enjoyed this story even if it dealt with some heavier topics. I enjoyed how this developed and the narration was fantastic especially Maxine Mitchell at some point I honestly thought there was a 3rd narrator. It was an enjoyable listen but not for those who do not enjoy darker topics.

Great finish

I cannot say that I have read a series of LJ Shen's that I didn't like. Book 4 although listed as dark I did not find it to be dark at all but I did find it to be very good with great narration. Joe Arden does a pretty good English accent. Well done!

Awesome as usual

While the story is really good, I felt it dragged on too long. I thoroughly enjoyed Devon's character but had a problem with Belle being such a "bad ass". I understand what she went through ~ and just would not have ever been a friend with someone with such a prickly attitude. She needed therapy desperately, but wanted to always " do it herself.". I did enjoy the ending and was happy that Devon and his sister get a second. chance.

Good . . . . . but . . . . . .

Although not advertised on Audible, but is another book of Boston Belles. As I read the past books of this series, I was curious of the mysterious English guy & hoped Shen wrote a story of him. This is it & I’m so glad I read it. Love it!!

Love!
