The Dumonts, Book 3

By: Karina Halle

Narrated by: Alix Dale, Shaun Grindell

From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes a seductive novel of riches, romance, and redemption.

In the Dumont fashion empire, no heir has a reputation as decadent, arrogant, and ruthless as that of Pascal Dumont. Every transgression, an indecent pleasure. Every woman, a conquest. And none is more challenging than his new personal assistant, Gabrielle Caron. She's defiant, alluring, and a mystery Pascal can't wait to solve.

A former family servant and daughter of the head maid, Gabrielle's returned as suddenly as she left eight years ago. No longer an awkward teen, the ethereal young beauty has amassed a wealth of resolve. She'll need it. In hire to the devilishly charming scion, she's come back for one reason only. And she dare not whisper why.

But as the nights grow more intimate at the Dumont maison, Gabrielle realizes that the last man she believed in is the one man she can trust with her secrets. For Pascal, falling in love means more than his own redemption. It could mean saving Gabrielle's very life as they confront a dark and scandalous past...together.

decent conclusion

The story was not as good as the first two stories in the series, but it was decent. The narration, however, was not good.

The female narrator was just ok but was very monotone. The male narrator was British and could not pull off a French accent. Most of the time, he slipped in and out of his pitifully attempt at a French accent. It was very distracting and detracted from the story.

He was also very monotone, and every character sounded the same, so keeping track of who was speaking was difficult.

Great

This was a really deep and heartfelt story. I didn’t enjoy the male narrator as much as the female. But this was another great story by Karina Halle!

Interesting evolution

I like the story. IT was an interesting take on this evolution of the fam.
But the male reader, 👎🏻 sounding like an exaggerated, parody, version of Capt. Kirk.

Family Drama ❤️🇫🇷💶💙

Having read previous books in this series, it was difficult to imagine liking Pascal. I was right. I never did quite warm up to him. He lived a selfish, hedonistic life, and I wondered how Gabrielle could fall for him after watching him with another woman. And how he treated people in the past.

I guess it’s a testament to human forgiveness and healing. That is definitely something seen in the book.

As always, the author has a great writing voice, and others may like the characters and how they redeem themselves. It’s a good ending to the series.

The narrators do a great job.

Awesome...5 stars!

This entire series is excellent. The characters are well developed and interesting. The French accents seem over the top at times, but the men still sound very sexy. I highly recommend this series!
