About this listen

Jack St. Claire is desperate. A grieving single father, he buries himself in his work—running a brand-new kink club in Paris. Instead of handling his grief, he’s built a fortress around his heart, and it’s time he hired someone to help him take care of his daughter before things get worse.

Camille Aubert wasn’t looking for a new job. She just wanted to return a lost love letter she’d found within the pages of a book. But when she’s mistaken for a job candidate and hired as Jack’s live-in nanny, something tells her this is exactly where she needs to be.

Shortly after arriving, Camille discovers a strange room in the apartment that sparks her curiosity—and hints at a dark, mysterious side to Jack that she’s desperate to uncover. The lines between professional and personal blur dangerously as the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore. She’s drawn to the broken man who hides his grief in ropes and bondage, and she challenges him in ways he never thought possible.

Caught between her growing feelings for Jack and the ghosts of his past, Camille must decide: can love heal a heart still grieving, or will their passion destroy them both?

This audiobook was absolutely phenomenal! The full cast narration was everything - completely immersed you in the story and I kept finding excuses to steal away time to listen to this book.

Narrated by Jason Clarke (so many growly “Good Girl” 🫠) Meg Sylvan (whose accent and French pronunciation was incredible), Brandon Francis, Samantha Brentmoor and C.J. Bloom

This cast were absolute perfection, fit their roles so well and their narration is always top notch!

I came for the spice about a single dad in Paris hanging with his nanny at a s*x club,
and stayed for the story about family, love, healing and strength.

Sara absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! SPC is one of my favourite series of all time and I just know the Salacious Legacy series will live up to my every expectation. Can’t wait for the next book!

Please listen to the audiobook, I promise you won’t regret it!

Not as saucy as some of Sara Cate’s stuff but it was a sweet story. Grieving dad falls the new Nanny and he uses bondage as a way of coping. It was sweet. Jason Clarke as ever was amazing!

It was sweet!

🎧⭐️ALC Review⭐️🎧

OK Sara Cate way to raise the bar. Her Salacious Players Club series is beyond amazing, and while TGGE was a highly anticipated release, and I love a second gen series, I am always leery of them, because I want to love them as much as the original. Well, in this case I think I love this book even more. In addition to this being Sara’s first book in this new series, it is also her first full-cast duet audiobook. And did it ever deliver. There is so much that occurs in the book, and by the end there are even more questions, but they are about the other characters. Meg Sylvan gave an epic performance as Camille, young and vibrant, but looking for something more. Jason Clarke was unsurprisingly impressive as Jack, and the supporting cast did not disappoint. Samantha Brentmoor was captivating, CJ Bloom was incredible, and Brandon Francis was just beyond for the characters he voiced. You need to devour this book immediately, if not sooner.

Narration: Full cast - Duet narration, first-person present tense, multiple-POV some flashbacks

Tropes: Slight age gap, k!nk club, single dad, widower, nanny, shibari, mourning, business partners at odds, ‘Good girl”, obstinate FMC, cute kid, grumpy/sunshine, France/French accent, secret relationship, boss/worker relationship, dom/sub, he pushes her away

Overall: 5
Spice: 4
Humor: 2.5
Drama: 3.5
Darkness: 3
Narration: 5

Camille finds a lost love letter hidden in the pages of a book in the shop she works at. Deciding she needs to find who this letter belongs to and return it to him, she hops on a train to Paris to do just that. What she didn’t expect was to be mistaken for a job candidate as a nanny for this grieving widower’s daughter.

Jack has not been able to get over the loss of his wife. After two years he is able to hold it together by burying himself in work, and pulling away from all the people in his life, including his 5-year-old daughter. When Camille enters their life as the full-time, live-in nanny, she shakes up Jack’s life in ways he never could have imagined.

When Camille discovers what Jack does for a living, as well as a hidden room that hits at some of Jack’s darker proclivities, Camille can’t help but be drawn even closer to the man she first met through a love letter to his wife. Will Jack be able to let go of his grief and start to live again, or will it consume him and force him to fortify the walls he built around his heart.

Amazing second gen book 1

The audiobook of this was the absolute best! A full cast and duet form what more can you need! Meg and Jason did a fantastic job of bringing Camille and Jack to life. The French in this book was also so funny for me as I understand it for the most part hearing another language when reading is always an adventure. The audiobook made it so much more immersive especially with the scenes in the club. Definitely recommend the audiobook if you want to read this story!
I have loved Jack since we met him as a child in Madam and seeing him all grown up was so nice. He does have some changing to do as he is a grumpy grief ridden mess when we meet him now. Camille is such a sweet character with a curious nature and exactly what Bea and Jack need in their life. She takes amazing care of Bea and seeing her love Camille was so cute! Her relationship with Jack starts off very rocky as Jack is shutdown and cold to everyone. But once they start their nightly sessions you can see Jack changing for the better. The steamy scenes were so good with all the rope lessons. The book also spent a great deal of time with how to manage your grief as Jack did not deal with his as he should have. So it is a very emotionally heavy book. I really loved this one a lot and I look forward to see the rest of the legacies story!
If you are looking for a steamy, single dad x nanny, dual pov, kinky romance this book is for you!

Amazing steamy romance!
