Hard Liquor

Runaway Billionaires: Arthur Duet, Book 2

By: Blair Babylon

Narrated by: John Lane

Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's summary

London trial lawyer Gen has managed to corral that randy colt his lordship Arthur Finch-Hatten, the Earl of Severn, at least as far as anyone knows. In public, he seems to be behaving himself, but she’s kind of gotten involved with her client in a way that the Bar’s ethics committee would totally not approve of.

With Arthur’s impending trial in the House of Lords and the constant backstabbing in her law office, the last thing Gen needs is for Arthur to whisk her off to Paris for the social wedding of the century to schmooze the people who will decide his fate.

Gen has broken all the rules, and she could very well end up with a broken heart. She needs a stiff drink, and it had better be hard liquor.

Hard Liquor is the exciting conclusion to the Arthur Duet that begins with Stiff Drink.

Bloody Freakin' Brilliant!!

Arthur & Gen's Duet, Book 2 in audible is a sexy, sexed up, sexified ride of magnificence. Really, the brilliance of the depth of characters, the incredible real realities in Arthur's 'degenerate' life, Gen's lawyerly journey and the multitude of 'secondary' characters whom are so realistic they could walk off the page! I had to mull over the wording of my review for a while. However, there's nothing I can put, to portray the literal whirlwind we are privileged to be voyeurs in, in this book and Audio. I would rate this as a tumultuous tornado/cyclone, an F6. Just as you take a breath and sigh (Ah!, the eye of the hurricane, so to speak), you're snatched again into this heady sexy audio fantasy! This may be uncalled for, but I would LUV to have been able to watch narrator John Lane as he had my pulse racing, heart going crazy (I know you know what I mean) during the narration of certain scenes! Phew! Blair Babylon is stupendously brilliant, as always. John Lane's melted chocolate voice, inflections and nuances are excellent. Bloody freakin' brilliant! Don't miss it!

Love Author Finch-Hatten!!

This is Hard Liquor written by Blair Babylon. In this book we get to watch as Gen tries to defend Lord Author Finch-Hatten in a case against him from his brother, as his brother wants to take over as Earl of Severn. There is a lot going on and super secrets and sneakiness abound! It’s a great story in an even greater series!!

Fantastic! Both Book and Audio Narration!

I have been a super fan of Blair Babylon's writing for a very long time and I am thrilled her books have come alive in audiobook. John Lane provides superb narration for both accents and male and female parts seamlessly. This is book 2 of her Arthur duet and 3rd book of her runaway billionaires series. Quality writing and narration for a winning combination! Bonus, If you own the kindle books, whispersync is available! I guarantee you will enjoy a sexy narration for this book.

Deliciously James Bondish

I was hooked from the first book of Stiff Drink and got to have this one as it continues the saga of my very two favorite main characters - Gen and Arthur. All the way through the book, it is like witnessing James Bond who is an Earl falling in love with the feisty, sassy Gen who is a kick ass barrister. It was full of spies and espionage and plenty of BSDM and hot hot scenes with Gen and Arthur. John Lane is now my new British narrator…swooning over his voice. Thank you Blair Babylon for dreaming up these 3 hot alpha royal billionaires!

What a story with great narration.

This second book of Arthur and Gen’s story in both reading and listening form. Blair Babylon weaves a story that I couldn’t put down, and listening was just as compelling ....having to get to the end of a chapter and hope that I could stop. If you like descriptive and detailed reads, with wonderful characters then you need to read this series-actually you need to read the entire set of books! Great job Blair and such a great narrator in John Lane!

An epic conclusion to the duet

The conclusion to the Arthur Duet so if you haven’t read or listened to Stiff Drink then STOP and do so before you continue with Hard Liquor.

Having read/listened to a couple of books by Blair Babylon I enjoy her style of writing. Her characters are quirky and easy to relate too. Narrator John Lane, certainly brought Hard Liquor to life for me and had me swooning on various occasions. His voice was spot on in my opinion for Arthur Finch-Hatten and I enjoyed the variety of voices he used for the multiple characters, even the female ones.
 
Having listened to Stiff Drink I have been anxiously awaiting the conclusion to this duet and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the pairing of Genevieve(Gen) and Arthur and it was great to see some familiar characters pop up within the story.

Will Gen loose everything she has worked so hard for as she continues to become more and more involved with Arthur, or will the stress break them up? Will Arthur realize in time what he is giving up for the love of his country?

Hard Liquor is a well written, witty, suspenseful, romantic and at times steamy book that was an entertaining listen and I was totally invested from the first to the last chapter.

Real enjoyable

This is the conclusion to stiff drink that you should listen to first
so you know what the story is about.
In this book it brings it all together.
There is quite a few twist and turns that definitely going to keep
Your attention right to the end of the book.
The Narrator did a brilliant job of bringing the characters alive.
I voluntarily listen to a copy of this book.

Prepare to be seduced ....

Prepare to be seduced by a dashing drink of water with a sexy accent and a bad boy reputation. Arthur and Gen find themselves caught up in a romance as tempting as it is dangerous. Babylon teases the senses with forbidden love and sparks the brain with a intriguing twist. Step into a world where nothing is as it seems and love can be only a heartache away. Sexy, captivating and unpredictable.

Phenomenal and Heart Warming

I can never get enough of Blair Babylong's marvelous writing, and this duet drives my point home perfectly. There is nothing safe or stale about this incredible story. It is thrilling, it is heart wrenching, and it is out of this world fantastic! The characters will seep in your very soul and you will never let them go. They are out of this world fabulous and yet so amazingly relatable that it makes my heart sing and break at the same time. Love is truly the only universal connector between social status, race, and every other dividers that society drowns us in. Nothing can stop the force of it and the need for it. You can only surrender to it and allow it to fill you up and forever change you. Anything less would be devastating and debilitating. Whatever you do, don't walk away without experiencing the marvel that this truly inspiring powerhouse of a story! It will forever change your heart and mind.

If you think the story is a miracle in its own right, then you will never know what hit you as you experience and savor the auditory pleasure that is John Lane. He teased and pleasured my ears the entire time. It was no hardship at all to fall into the deep tones of his voice and allow it build Babylon's phenomenal world and walk the same harrowing journey as her incredible characters. What a heart wrecking journey that it sure to transform your heart and touch your mind! Never underestimate the power of a voice in the stillness that pulls you under its spell as it relays words that can change a life forever. John Lane has become my second favorite male narrator ever! What a powerful voice filled with untold meaning and rich overtones that will lull anyone into a sweet dream.

Hard Liquor

Oh my goodness! This is the way to finish this duo with a bang! So many twists and turns and just when we think it is going one way this author takes it another direction. Arthur is being charged with treason now in an attempt to wrangle his Earldom away from him but that is so far from the truth and he doesn't want Gen to fight the battle until there is a reason to fight. Oh, and Casim and Maxense come along for the ride. Great narrator.
