Excellent Story & Listen🎧 Captivating & Steamy!

I enjoyed this book immensely, it is a fast moving enemies to lovers romance novel with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. Summer West is in a bit of a bind, a financial bind, and Sinclair Amadeus Sterling, the billionaire, knew this even before she arrived for an interview at his company. The two had met the night before and while the chemistry between them was through the roof, his alpha-tude, alpha-hole, was also off the roof. And that does not change much when they meet again for her interview, and he manipulates the situation to guarantee that she lands where he wants her. Sinclair is on a mission, a mission of vengeance and has it all planned out, and she is a key part of that plan. Despite him having where he wants her, she does not just bend over and take it instead, she gives as good as she gets. I admired her for sticking it out and her dedication to her sister. And as much as you want to despise Sinclair for his behavior at first, he eventually redeems himself and, after hearing what and the others endured. You get a better picture of why he is the way he is and is so driven by revenge. The plotting and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. There is never a dull moment in this book, the drama is non-stop, the dialogue and back-and-forth banter is amazing and so is the romance. L. Steele, thank you for this fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧  And for the fabulous narration, Shane East and Faye Adele were the perfect cast to bring these characters and story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying, giving each a voice that suited that character’s persona and was believable in every role they played. Shane East nailed it as Sinclair, playing the demanding alpha-hole, alpha-tude and all. Faye Adele’s Summer was perfection, played her role with the right amount of sass and heart. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Alpha

loved the dual narration of Shane East and Faye Adele , brilliant.

Sit back and enjoy. If you like hot Alpha males, who is a billionaire, intelligent and sexy, oh yes great female heroine. This is for you.
Sinclair is out for revenge and it's on Summer. But little does he know the ride he is in for.

Hot and sexy

Fantastic dual narration

This book has a great storyline that centres around the kidnapping of seven schoolboys. Fast forward twenty plus years and these boys are now some of the wealthiest men in the country, known as The Seven and are out for revenge. Spearheading the hunt is Sinclair Sterling, the ultimate alpha hole hero with a dirty mouth and his path to vengeance begins with marriage to a certain pink haired, feisty heroine called Summer.

This is fantastic enemies to lovers, billionaire romance with plenty of sizzling chemistry between the hero and heroine even if Sinclair was a bit all talk and very little action. He was definitely not my idea of hero material, all cold and calculating with no apparent redeeming qualities whatsoever, something I usually love in a hero but here he just came across as mean and nasty, but gradually as his relationship with Summer deepened, he began to change, becoming conflicted about his behaviour and plans. That’s when I started looking at him in a new light and saw he was haunted by the events of the past. There was some fabulous banter between this pair usually involving Summer quoting movie trivia. I loved that she never backed down no matter what he threw at her. With an intriguing array of secondary characters I’ll definitely be reading more from this series.

With dual narration from Shane East and Faye Adele there was a fantastic flow to this audiobook. They both did a fabulous job bringing Sinclair and Summer to life. Shane was perfect as the foul mouthed Sinclair with disdain dripping from his tongue with every sentence while Faye epitomises the quirky Summer and her balllsy, don’t give an inch attitude.

well holy hotness 🔥

This book was so good! I've listened to quite a few books narrated by this duo, and they always bring the story to life and make it really enjoyable.
If you like alpha-hole billionaires who are actually hiding a heart of gold and sassy, take no s**t leading ladies. This book is for you.
The world building was phenomenal, and I can't wait to find out more about the 7. Bring in Saints book!

This Book Should Come With A Warning

This is my very first read and listen from Ms. Steele. I received an audiobook giveaway through Facebook Shane East official fan group Shaneiaks.

This is the first book of the Big Bad Billionaires Series and can be read on its own. I did not know what to expect in terms of writing style from the author. I like the film trivias and quotes that were written in the beginning of the chapters and exchanged between the characters. I enjoyed enemies to lovers trope and this book did not disappoint with all the wicked banter between the alphahole hero and the fierce heroine which is my favourite. Although I overall enjoyed this hot steamy book there are scenes which I find uncomfortable and might even be triggers to some readers one of which is workplace harassment.

Brilliant performance from new-to-me narrator Faye Adele and Shane East brought his A game as an Alphahole Sinclair Sterling.

Fake Wife

A really great story and great start for a new series for me.

At the beginning everything was a bit confusing, but after a short while I was totally into the story and enjoyed it.

The narrators did a great job and I'm looking forward to the next book.

Summer & Sin

Summer doesn’t realise each time she bumps into Sin he’s instigated it . He wants her so he can get back at her Father and he blackmails her into marrying him. Sin tells himself it all for the plan but and he won’t admit to himself his feelings have changed . Summer knows Sin is a alphahole but she has feelings for him as well when Sin realises his feelings are real she doesn’t make it easy and makes him work for it. This is my first book by L. Steele and I enjoyed it I have 2 more in this series to listen too.

Good listen ❤️‍🔥

The witty banter could not have been better! The way these two narrators could not have done better to capture the enemies to lovers vibes between these two characters.

I’ll admit, sometimes I wasn’t to sure if it was Summer speaking or another girl but it didn’t affect my overall listen. I still found myself invested in the story.

Sinclair is the epitome of an alpha-hole (just like Summer said) there’s so many times where I really didn’t like him, I felt real aggression, so it was performed perfectly. I was 100% cheering Summer on with her sassy remarks back at him! I could practically feel the eye roll which I don’t always get without audio so listening made it way better.

Their push and pull was constant, Sin was always either making it worse or bringing the spice with the way he would charm and belittle her at the same time, but in the end… well you need to listen cause you don’t wanna miss out on this one 🙌🏼😉
