The Earl of London

By: Louise Bay

Narrated by: Shane East, Imogen Church

Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's Summary

I believe in love. It just doesn’t believe in me. I date. I’m all for giving guys a chance. I’ve just never met the one. Until on a spring morning in the English countryside, a tall, dark stranger emerges from the mist.

Logan Steele is all tousled hair, hard chest, and lips so perfect I want to reach out and touch them, just to check they’re real. I’m sure that’s a thunderclap of chemistry I feel between us. Did I mention he’s an Earl with a self-made fortune? A billionaire who works tirelessly for charity? And he’s so hot, watching him is like staring at the sun. But like I said, love isn’t rooting for me.

When I find out Logan Steele is out to destroy everything I’ve dedicated my life to protect, the chemistry disappears and the hope that had blossomed my chest turns to rage. It no longer matters that he quickens my pulse just saying my name, weakens my knees with a single touch, and that he might just be the greatest kisser that ever lived. I might believe in love, but Logan Steele is definitely not the one. 

A stand-alone romance.

Great narration

5 star Review The Earl of London by Louise Bay
 
Logan Steele, just the name sent shivers up and down my spine; I have been waiting for Darcy Westbury’s story and couldn’t wait to dive in.

Where do I start? From chapter one I was hooked. Logan Steele is a rich, powerful, determined man; he gets what and who he wants, when he wants. When he buys as estate in a little village, Darcy becomes his neighbour and the sparks fly from there.

Both Darcy and Logan are independent and strong characters and I found them likeable and easy to relate to. Well to be honest, I have loved Darcy ever since she was first introduced way back, there was just something about the pairing of Logan and Darcy that drew me to them and their story.

The story was well written, engaging and it was great to see the dynamic between the two of them and there was so much to love about Ms.Bay’s characters. The chemistry between Logan and Darcy is off the charts even though neither want to admit to it.
 
Darcy makes me laugh, there is just so much humour in her and some of the best moments throughout the book are when she calls Logan on his attitude and behaviour. For these two to make a success as a couple there was plenty of give and take required from both Logan and Darcy as neither were “perfect”.

Ms.Bay wove a story that had me invested right from the start.

positive outweighs the negative

I don’t know why they aren’t listed as part of a series, but if you want to read the linked stories in order: King of Wall Street; Park Avenue Prince; Duke of Manhattan; The British Knight; The Earl of London. This is the story of Darcy, sister of Ryder from Duke of Manhattan.
Love Shane East. Period. Wish he got to read more.
I’m sorry Imogen Church was chosen for this narration. Her pacing and emphasis often felt off for me. Her Logan voice made me cringe when it went higher instead of a lower pitch. The very distinct breathing should have been edited out.

Read the Book

3.5 Stars. I a big fan of Louise Bay. I listened to the audio version and although I thoroughly enjoyed Shane East I struggles with the narration of Imogen Church. I had a hard time picturing a young twenty some year old listening to her voice. It made it hard for me to connect to the characters. This is one of those instances where I had wished I read the book. #GreatStory #QuestionableNarration #IndependentFemaleCharacter #Misunderstood #FeelGood #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Narrator

I did not care for the female narrator. I think Shane east does a very good job. I also don't think this was one of Louise Bay's better books

Enjoy the story!

Louise Bay books are fun and easy reading. Unfortunately the narrator Imogen Church made this book dreadful to listen, she made Darcy's voice childish not representing the character's personality.

Another great story

Shane East is my absolute FAVORITE narrator! Imogene was just ok.
I love this entire series.

Loved the story but.....

the audible version was hard to listen to because the pronunciation of the words by Imogene Church were over done and exaggerated. I love Louise Bay and will read whatever she writes because I’m a loyal fan but no more audio versions for me!

Charming

This book has everything your looking for… intrigue, mystery and a happy ending even when you think it won’t. I love Shane East’s performance but Imogen Church’s interpretation of Darcy was a little off for me. She was portrayed as less than a confident woman and indecisive as in all of the other books and it just felt wrong. But I did enjoy the story and it did have a nice twist at the end.

Did not live up to the hype.

This story did not live up to the hype I read from other
Reviews.
The narration though is superbly executed
But the Love story was not combincing to me .
But that is just my opinion.
I’m sure other people can and will find this very entertaining.

I Think im in love

So I read the book jumped straight to the audio. Because I had to listen. I had to hear how it would sound. And I love it. who needs a movie or a tv show, when we have audiobooks.
The Narrators make it come so much alive. bouth of them. But I have to say. I Think I have fallen in love with Imogen Church. Her performance is above and beonde amazing. This story has so Many emotions such big feelings. And She makes it all come out. Her voice is everything.
Louise Bay has made a perfect book. each new book by her is the best. everytime She writes a new book it is Better Than the last. And this is the best until the next.

Absolute perfection

So. I devoured this book in 2 days. 2 days! I literally couldn't put it down, I had to have words with myself to stop.

So what did I do when I finished The book?? I got the audio! oh how I adore these narrators... Darcy and Logan are brought to life wonderfully.

I've been waiting for Darcy to get her story and I was not disappointed. I don't know exactly what or how I expected her story to unfold, but I knew she would be a tough cookie who gave as good as she got. Oh how she did! Logan admits himself that Darcy isn't his usual type, but I think that's why they work... and clash.... and argue... and the heat! Jeez Louise! I needed a fan at times, the steamy scenes are white hot without being vulgar. Louise Bay knows how to tell a story and sell it. I was sold on the first page.

The highs will have you smiling like a fool to yourself, while the lows will pull at your heart. I adored this couple. They made me laugh out loud and they made me want to smack their heads together.

As always with a Louise Bay story, you will be left wishing it hadn't ended.

The Earl of London

Another great love story, with hurdles to climb and doult to fight. Loved the naration team of Imogen Church and Shane East, both have great voices to listen to.

Amazing as always

Once again I have fallen in love with your book Louise, absolutely loved it, I hope there's more to come from this series

Woohoo

Another brilliant book by Louise Bay , it was brilliant and the narrators were excellent as usual.

Awful!

Poor from start to finish. Worst one she's written. Darcy's voice nauseating. Poor dialogue very upsetting

Beautiful<br />

Absolutely loved the story, the way it's written, the characters and the narrators,. Cannot wait for the next one

Darcy's Story

It was interesting to read Darcy's story. I wish I had read the book & not listed to it being narrated. I really enjoyed The British Knight & loved the voice of Shane East & Saskia M. Their voicing of Darcy's character was super, and so I was therefore looking forward to Darcy's story. The story itself is good, though a bit unbelievable when Logan decided that he loved Darcy seemingly only after a good talking to from his granny(?), but sadly it was the narration from Imogen Church that ruined it for me. I'm not sure what her brief was, as to how she was to interpret Darcy's character, but the way she portrayed her was as a dithering, hesitate, slightly pathetic individual. Most of her sentences where stretched out, each word a hesitation before speaking, it was beyond annoying. I have no idea what she was trying to convey, but Darcy's character in the British Knight was so lovely & in this book, she was narrated as quite pathetic (though the book certainly didn't convey her as such). I enjoyed the book, but Imogen Church was certainly not the reader for me. Irritating.
