About this listen

Boston’s most infamous femme fatale meets her match in a dangerously mild Englishman who has vowed to never marry in this romantic stand-alone from Washington Post best-selling author L.J. Shen

Emmabelle Penrose has cruised through life never needing a man, a plan that has worked stunningly well until about five minutes ago, when she decided she must have a baby.

Devon Whitehall is 6’2” of premium DNA, financial security, and British royal titles. Best of all, he fears the one thing she dreads the most: getting hitched.

Emmabelle figures it’s a no-brainer when Devon offers his services - sperm and involvement in her future child’s life.

What begins as an innocent modern-family arrangement quickly erodes into a web of lies, dark pasts, and unfurled secrets.

Inside this chaos, Emmabelle and Devon are forced to face the awful truth - they are capable of love.

Even worse, they might feel it toward each other.

Loved this book, the last of the Boston Belles I believe. Lots of ups and downs, passion, emotions and serious issues too. Glad how it all worked out in the end. Couldn't stop listening and will miss the characters, thank you to all involved x.

Loved the Rake!

I have never put my kindle down so many times.
I even shouted at it a time or 5 lol 2 broken people in more than one way. They coming together perfectly. It was definitely worth the heart palpitations, aggressive out bursts and tears.
Even though it’s sad to say good bye to an amazing series it really was the perfect ending.
I loved each book for completely different reasons and I honestly couldn’t pick a favourite. This will be a series I will reread for the foreseeable future. Smash it again dude bro lol

Perfect end to a world I never wanted to leave

What a great final chapter to the Boston Bells series. Worth a credit, I'm now going to listen to all four books again. I will also re listen to Sinners snd Saints series and then their children's stories.. LJ Shen is brilliant

Brilliant

I absolutely loved this book, it was the best book in the series. Devon was perfect and having a British husband but not being British I totally agree their accent is hot 🥵. The performances were also spot on.

The best book in the series

I was so looking forward to the last book but I am a bit disappointed. I listen to lots of books by the author and a lot of them I listen twice but I won’t be coming back to listen this one again . I understand the psychological issues due to previous experience but it was just too much . Bella was just so irritating as character so childish . However Devon was brilliant and so so sexy :) . It great to finally learn more about his mysterious past back in uk .

Not as good as other books
