Holy Holt Sebastian 🔥

I’m a huge fan of Jacob Morgan & Elena Wolfe, so when I seen they were narrating and bringing Holt & Brystin to life I couldn’t wait to put my headphones on and float away into another world for a while.

Holt did not hold back on letting us know how much he was here to shake things up, because he can. Not only a powerhouse in business but in pleasure too.


Brystin is coasting along as a news reporter but with a hunger to make it to the big time, but does her boss have her best interests at heart or will he be the one left behind.

What starts out as negotiating about the job of Brystins dreams, turns out to more than just a job!

Addictive and HOT with off-the-charts narration!

She’s only gone and done it again; written yet another addictive story. BRUTAL BILLIONAIRE is Holt Sebastian’s story. One of the ruthless billionaires we were first introduced to in the MAN IN CHARGE series. The object of his obsession is Brystin Shaw an aspiring news anchor married to a much older man who is her producer.

As we’ve come to expect from Laurelin she brings the filth. Holt has the dirtiest of dirty mouths and I was here for it all. But his filthy words are balanced with his tender swoony nickname. Really, I’ll be your honeybee, any day of the week, Holt.

In a world full of deals with “conditions” we see Brystin wrestle with her morals and her hunger for her dream. Holt dangles the “carrot” and she takes it all!

I’m not going to ruin the plot, just know you’ll be gripped from start to finish. Holt’s possessive nature is H.O.T, HOT, and Brystin can’t help but be turned on by the things he says and does. His grand gesture is a public one and perfect for this book.

Now let’s talk narration. Elena is a Laurelin favourite and you can see why. She navigates emotions, steam, and relationship dynamics with ease. We are confused by Brystin’s inner turmoil just as she is. Jacob with his signature swagger strolls in like he owns the place. He gives us an inside POV of a man who is brought to his knees (quite literally) by this amazing woman. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. Yet another fantastic audio experience.

If you are looking for a book with…

Power dynamics.
Complicated relationships.
Indecent proposals.
Opulent lifestyles.
Feelings and
The fire-of-a-thousand-suns steam pick BRUTAL BILLIONAIRE.

Congrats to Laurelin and the whole crew who brought this audiobook to life. I lapped it up just like Holt did Brystin!

Pleasant surprise!

I haven’t read/listened to anything by Ms Paige before, mainly because I’m not a huge fan of stories that go on over a few books - I haven’t the patience, so when I saw this was a stand alone I thought I’d give it a go. Glad I did.

I was unsure at first about the concept, I’m not a fan of the film indecent proposal, and thought the whole concept might be a bit “icky”. I did find the first few chapters a bit uncomfortable if I’m honest. No matter how the inner dialogue of Brystyn let us know it was all consensual and it turned her on, there was still the power dynamic, which made for uncomfortable listening. I also felt Brystyn was a bit weak - not so much re Holt, but with Michael, she didn’t give her husband nearly as much sh!t as she should have done given he seemed more than willing to sell her for the sake of “their” career. But putting all that aside as the story progressed I became more comfortable as we started to get a window into the soul of Holt. I also had in the back of my mind that Holt did merely ask for the favour of “getting to know” Brystyn, and that it was Micheal and Brystyn herself who interpreted that as something different to what he may actually have meant; more could have been made of this.

Putting all that aside the relationship between Holt and Brystyn was hot, and as it developed it became more than just sex. Clearly it was obvious where it was heading, but there was a twist towards the end that I wasn’t expecting, and by the end we pretty much had a reversal of the power dynamic which was gratifying. It is true to say that both main characters are flawed, and both of them have weaknesses and are both quite needy in different ways. This isn’t a story about perfect people who do the right thing. They both did the wrong thing at times but it worked out in the end. Also loved Zuli as the best friend. I’d like to hear more from her.

Both narrators did a fabulous job - which is unsurprising given they are both class acts. Elena does great male voices and Jacob (sigh) could literally read a training manual and I’d swoon! Both acted the narration really well.

I enjoyed it so much I may even try Ms Paige’s other books which involve multiple books.

I liked it but it went on and on.

I gave this overall a four-star. The thing I liked was the command of English. Well done. My first and foremost hate was the overuse of the word C***. Hate it. Demeaning and crass. However, I liked the characters although he was very naughty and I might have slugged him before chapter three. Overall I enjoyed it but thought it went on far too long. I could have wrapped it up so many times I think I had four ending places. But we'll done anyway I'm sure others will love it.
