Any Old Diamonds

De: KJ Charles

Narrado por: Cornell Collins

Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes, the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar, holds a bitter grudge against his wealthy father. The Duke intends to give his Duchess a priceless diamond parure on their wedding anniversary - so Alec hires a pair of jewel thieves to steal it.

The Duke's remote castle is a difficult target, and Alec needs a way to get the thieves in. Soldier-turned-criminal Jerry Crozier has the answer: He'll pose as a Society gentleman and become Alec's new best friend.

But Jerry is a dangerous man: controlling, remote, and devastating. He effortlessly teases out the lonely young nobleman's most secret desires, and soon he's got Alec in his bed - and the palm of his hand.

Or maybe not. Because as the plot thickens, betrayals, secrets, new loves, and old evils come to light. Now the jewel thief and the aristocrat must keep up the pretence, find their way through a maze of privilege and deceit, and confront the truth of what's between them...all without getting caught.

Cute story

I really enjoyed this story. Very simple. But I don’t care for the narrator. I’ve always thought he sounds like a 65-70 yr old man. Really hard when the boy is 24-30 years old. So I wish KJ Charles would use a younger man. The story was very predictable but cute.

Excellent storyline, very good performance

KJ Charles never disappoints. Cornell Collins can take some getting used to but he voices the range of characters with precision and depth.

Deeply Satisfying

Complete in itself, good twists and turns, over the top in ways I enjoy. Narration was expertly done as usual.

A sexy tale of intrigue

Excellent reading by Cornell Collins who captures the characters and spirit of the story marvelously. The writing, as expected, is perfect. There are lots of sexy scenes, and just enough plot, character and relationship building. KJ Charles always seems to strike a nice balance, whith this one being on the spicier side.

A Gem of a Novel

Well woven plot. KJ has loyalty to C Collin, but his narration of characters in their 20s is more tone deaf than… I don’t know; he sounds 70 doing a 25 year old’s voice. I appreciate loyalty, but seriously?
