Publisher's summary

A ménage à trois romance between a female violinist and two mysterious British men with untold influence. Their love fuels the power that pervades London.

From an early age, Emily lived for the violin.

Practices were a joy. Recitals were a celebration. She only felt truly alive when the meticulously crafted, finely tuned string instrument was in her firm grasp.

You could say that Emily lived for the violin, and that it was her true love. You would have been right....

...but that all changed the day she met Xander Rothschild.

Emily Rampling thought she understood the nature of power.

But she didn't know the unexpected forms power could take, bending and adapting to suit its needs. She wasn't aware of the ways power could infiltrate unnoticed into the highest echelons of government, soaking the most hallowed chambers with its influence.

She didn't realize the methods in which power could weave an invisible fabric that manipulated society with hidden secrets and unannounced agendas.

In fact, Emily Rampling didn't understand anything at all about the nature of power.

But she was about to find out.

About the ways power could pulse.

About the ways power could penetrate.

About the ways power could pervade.

An incredible and unique masterpiece!!

“Pervade London is book one in the Pervade Duet by Vanessa. This was my first time listening a book of Vanessa. Where do I start? First I must say that this audiobook was IMPRESSIVE!!! I can’t describe the greatness of what I listened. My emotions collapsed, crashed and exploded. Emily, James and Xander story was complicated and painful all at the same time. I won’t spoiler you but prepare yourself for really dark secrets. Emily was like a soul in pain, my heart ached for her so many times.

Lucy Rivers made an incredible narration!! I grabbed a bowl of popcorns with soda on my side and the hours felt like minutes! Every chapter was like a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Intense, hard and full of twists and turns. Sexy, hot and incredible! The story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, yes, but don’t let that stops you. Don’t miss the opportunity to try this audiobook!”

Very Pleasant Voice & Good Story

A riveting story

Violinist Emily Rampling’s life changes forever when, one day was playing at Piccadilly she meets a mysterious man in need and she feels compelled to help. That man turns out to be Xavier Rothschild—a sexy, eccentric genius who makes her promise she’d never ask him about his past. They fall in love and live together happily for six months—until his past, in the form of a man named James Ballad, comes back to claim him.

Pervade London is a riveting story and I loved listening to it! It’s beautifully written with lots of intrigue and mystery. I HIGHLY recommend having the second book, Pervade Montego Bay, ready when you start this one!

Lucy Rivers did an incredible job narrating.

Pervade London is a contemporary ménage romance written and performed in first-person narrative. It’s the first book in a duet, and it ends on a cliffhanger.

Emily, Xander and James!

Starting from her childhood and with the encouragement of her mother Emily has always wanted to be an accomplished violinist and has placed her heart and soul into achieving that dream. While attending a prestigious school to perfect her craft she meets the one man who directs her thoughts away from her instrument.

Xander is a man with secrets that if revealed could have devastating consequences. He meets Emily when he needs someone the most, but he didn’t expect her to become his greatest joy and his greatest regret as he knows that she deserves so much more than he can give.

When Xander’s past becomes his present it brings James into their world and although she hates James she grows to love him as well and a relationship between the two develops but with all the truths yet to be revealed is there any way for this to end other than in heartbreak?

This story takes you on a twisty adventure filled with so much heat and so much intrigue that leaves you wondering what the future holds for this captivating trio. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and thought the narrator did a great job of bringing the suspense and emotion of this story to life.

An incredible romance

Vanessa Fewings, how have I not listened to you before? This book is my first listen, and I was completely captivated. Emily is a talented violinist with the dream of playing for the London Symphony. She meets Xander in the most peculiar of circumstances, and these two are inseparable. But there are secrets lurking, and when James is brought in, it is clearly evident there is a lot Emily doesn't know about her Xander. And the thought that she is even drawn to James is hard to imagine! But this story is so intrinsically woven, we are captivated and have to keep listening just to see where things are going. Now I love Xander. He is warm and loving, just wants to keep everyone happy in his life. Emily is an interesting woman. She is drawn to the men in her life, but her dream of being that famous violinist keeps nudging her. And James, well he is just the one I love,...and hate. I just am not sure about him, he is under my skin and I can't figure him out. This just leads me to wanting to continue with book 2 to find out some of the answers to my questions. I will say this. Fewings has sucked me into their world, one I want to know more about, decide who to trust and who to love. It's steamy and intriguing!

Lucy Rivers rocks this narration. She is one of my top female narrators and her accent in this one is phenomenal. She found a voice for each character that fit their personality perfectly and made the listen that much more entertaining. Incredible.

Unique, and Wickedly Sexy Romance!

What a unique, and wickedly sexy romance. I was captivated from beginning to end, trying to figure out the secrets that Xander(Xavier), and James were keeping from Emily. They are both completely captivated with Emily, a gifted violinist. She had always dreamed of playing for the London Symphony Orchestra and was working hard to realize that dream. When she met Xander, her relentless nature to get what she wants, now included protecting the love they now shared. What she never saw coming was James, a powerful, and controlling man, who now inhabits her every fantasy. This story is exciting, mysterious and seductive. The twists and turns keep you on a roller-coaster of emotions. Lucy Rivers is perfectly cast to narrate this sophisticated and sexy story. She delivers a moving performance making me feel all the complex emotions of all three characters. She also does a great job delivering dynamic, and authentic sounding male and female voices. I was completely lost to her storytelling and can't wait to find out what happens next with Emily, Xander, and James in the second book of the Pervade Duet, Pervade Montego Bay.
