Publisher's summary

Lorraine Heath ends her best-selling Sins for All Seasons series with the hero listeners have been waiting for!

She wants lessons in seduction.

Althea Stanwick was a perfect lady destined to marry a wealthy lord, until betrayal left her family penniless. Though she’s lost friends, fortune, and respectability, Althea has gained a scandalous plan. If she can learn to seduce, she can obtain power over men and return to society on her terms. She even has the perfect teacher in mind, a man whose sense of honor and dark good looks belie his nickname: Beast.

But desire like this can’t be taught.

Benedict Trewlove may not know his parentage but he knows where he belongs - on the dark side of London, offering protection wherever it’s needed. Yet no woman has ever made such an outrageous request as this mysterious beauty. Althea is out of place amongst vice and sin, even if she offers a wicked temptation he can’t resist. But as the truth of his origin emerges at last, it will take a fierce, wild love to overcome their pasts.

Loved the entire series

Great storyline with well developed characters! Surprising twists with steamy romance all together make this well worth the credits spent!

ANOTHER GOOD LISTEN

I loved this series... I would sure like to see it continued!! It had everything to keep you involved, just the right amount of steam and a great narrator. What else could you ask for!!

luvluvbooks

I never write reviews but I loved this series more than I can say. this last one made me teary

Kate Reading is awesome!

She does a great job. This is a very good story. It is simple and just a little bit of angst as the mcs try to follow their hearts. Beast is a perfect beta lead that appears to be an alpha.

Outstanding

OK, I will admit this was my first story in this saga. And I’m happy it was great even as a standalone. I will be going back and listening to the other stories. I really loved how Althea and Benedict became friends and really got to know each other even as they were falling in love with each other. Both characters were actually very well written and flushed out. I’m a sucker for beauty and the beast types of stories, and this one did not disappoint.

Unforgettable: Sins For All Seasons

As was the very first book and all the books of this Sins For All Seasons series, this final book in the series was engrossing, sensual, full of passion, and so unforgettable. Beast’s and Althea’s story tugs at your heartstrings from the beginning to the final chapter. And the epilogue makes you want to read the books again just to relive the stories so that the characters in them never end.

I love this series!

This series is truly a mush for your library! I highly recommend. This is one series I have listened to several times over!

Guaranteed multiple HEAs

The most satisfying conclusion to all main characters and if there were a couple left open, it certainly means they will take a book for each brother on a connected series which means more satisfying HEAs. I found myself immediately re-listening to every book right after I finish. They are that amazing and the clever plot twists distinguishes Heath’s riveting writing from the others. Brava Kate Reading! She is THE gold standard for the male voices. Other narrators are so OFF putting that you can’t immerse in the story because they cannot perform the baritone and inflections of a man’s voice. You will be so immersed in these stories because the narrator is FLAWLESS. She makes male voices as they ought to be in all the romantic scenes. Kate Reading should do all The Bridgerton books by Julia Quinn and all of Lisa Kelypas’ books. The male voices are so poorly done on those that you are not quite transported in the story. Their male MMC voices sound like the FMC. So distracting. Kate Reading made the most satisfying Benedict voice in this particular book. His gutteral reactions to Althea’s provocations is excellent each and every time. I have clipped and bookmarked The Original Marriage Proposal scene. ARRGH. Too hot.

Love Story

I truly loved this story. Benedict/Beast was a favorite of mine out of his brothers and sisters. His heart was as large as he was.

The Best of the Series

What a lovely story, and Kate Reading is a fantastic reader. I’ve read the series. This is the only one I’m reviewing. The others were fine, but this one was had me invested in its journey and its end. From start to finish, Beast is a beauty.
