About this listen

Three Butlers
Two weddings
One funeral

The explosive new novel from the Sunday Times #1 bestselling author Kimberley Chambers.

Nobody can hurt you like the ones you love…

Blood is thicker than water, love is stronger than hate – and that’s the problem. When your brother has betrayed you, there’s no coming back.

Vinny and Michael have always protected each other and provided for the family. Together they were formidable but business always stopped at the front door. Now someone has changed the rules – women and children are fair game and one of the Butlers is going to end up six feet under.

Little Vinny is battling not to follow in his father’s footsteps. Sweet Sammi-Lou has just vowed ‘til death do us part, but it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out about the murder he committed.

Dark secrets are spiralling out of control and have the power to destroy them all for good. Is this the final nail in the Butler family coffin?

What did you like most about Tainted Love?

Queeny(ie) what a great character. Her and her sister Viv made the book. All the different characters and their relationships are powerful and how they intertwine is exciting, the dialogues are proper Eastend, Annie performed them perfectly. This book is a mixture of all the emotions, laugh, cry, anger, sympathy, it is excellent. It's a "must"!

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Queeny and Viv are so funny, lots of great dialogue, I was LOL quite a lot, so much so, when out with the dogs in the forest I found myself looking around to make sure no one was listening.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes a particular death (I won't spoil it by mentioning who), it was unnecessary and came out of the blue. The worst part is that this type of brutality does exist in real life.

Any additional comments?

I have loved these books and feel a little empty that the Butler / Mitchell feud has come to an end. Keep writing Kimberly and Annie you are the very best, love listening to you, don't you stop either.

FABULOUS!

This book, in fact the whole series, has everything I could ever want from a book. It's non stop excitement and entertainment in every chapter. There were a couple of incidents that I didn't see coming at all. The superb writing and the great Annie Aldington make the Butlers seem so real that I'm starting to feel part of this family! 😂

Outstanding!!!!
