Lady Ruthless

Notorious Ladies of London, Book 1

By: Scarlett Scott

Narrated by: John Lane, Olivia Thompson

Lady Calliope Manning is determined to punish the man she holds responsible for her beloved brother’s death.

She will do anything in her power to destroy him. When rumors swirl that the Earl of Sinclair requires a wealthy bride to rescue himself from dire financial straits, she seizes the opportunity to ruin him at last.

Justin “Sin” Vaughn, the Earl of Sinclair, needs to marry an heiress, and he needs to marry one now. But the sudden, anonymous publication of salacious memoirs rumored to be his obliterates his chances. With polite society convinced he is a murderer, he has only one choice: Find the person behind his supposed memoirs and get his revenge.

Callie never expected Lord Sinclair to discover she wrote Confessions of a Sinful Earl...nor to abduct her and demand restitution in the form of her own hand in marriage. She definitely did not expect to find him so difficult to resist.

Sin is about to teach the beautiful, perfidious Lady Callie a lesson in ruthlessness one scorching-hot kiss at a time.

I could listen…

…to John Lane’s mellifluous narration day and night. Unfortunately, in this case, that included the content of his narration. I’m not saying the story, characters, and Olivia Thompson’s performance were complete shite. Just that…enough is enough. I’m all for a well-written sex scene, but less is more…quality over quantity. I won’t be continuing the series, even though I’d like to see Jo end up with Decker.

Didn’t enjoy duel narration

Not a fan when two people narrate. I don’t like the differing voices for each character. Olivia narrated Callie’s POV chapters and had a terrible “sin” voice. John narrated the Sin POV chapters and had a much better Callie voice than. But it would have been so much better to have one narrator with the actors playing the same speaking roles every time.

I would have liked the story more had I read with my eyes I think. But the narration was too frustrating to fully enjoy.

This dual narration was disappointing

The story was ok. Lane is excellent, but Thompson was a disappointment. She did not do Sin’s voice justice.

captivating

Good story although the female reader lacked good variety in range or depth in delivery.

Nice narration, sweet story

I enjoyed the narrators smooth voices, and I appreciated that there was a male/female narrators. The story did feel a bit juvenile. The sexual bits were somewhat sloppy feeling. The characters had potential but left me feeling a bit flat.
I did like the story but unlikely to read it again. (I’m sorry) I don’t like writing reviews that sound unfavorable
