About this listen

Genevieve is a lawyer, not a babysitter, and certainly not a dog trainer.

She is just about to become a full barrister, a British litigating attorney, when her law mentor dies unexpectedly. She is shuffled off to another barrister, one who’s nothing at all like her kind and decent former mentor, and then she is assigned the office’s worst case: Arthur Finch-Hatten, six feet and four inches of ripped, loaded, hot English nobleman who is wasting his life and his inherited estate so audaciously that his younger brother is suing him for control of their family’s earldom. There is a darn good chance that Arthur will lose everything, even his crazed, badly behaved puppy.

Unless he shapes up.

Gen’s new boss hasn’t been able to convince Arthur to mend his ways. His uncle’s lectures haven’t had any effect on his depraved debauchery and lavish lifestyle.

The only way for Genevieve to make partner is to win Arthur’s case, and the only way to win his case and save his earldom is to keep him from spending his days hungover in bed and his nights pouring Cristal on drunk, naked women before flying off in his private jumbo jet to the next party.

Arthur is enough to make any woman need a stiff drink.

Love this!

A wonderful audio of Stiff Drink Arthur Duet Book 1. This is the story of Arthur Finch-Hatten, who we met in Working Stiff. He’s strong, smart, and reliable. And an Earl. But is being accused by his younger brother of wasting his inheritance. His new Barrister is Genevieve, an American raised British born woman with her own challenges. I can’t say enough good things about this book, and know that you will have to read or listen to the next book for the rest of the story! Great job Blair Babylon, and to John Lane for wonderful narration!

Blair Babylon tells another wonderful story!

This is Stiff Drink: Runaway Billionaires: Arthur Duet written by Blair Babylon. I haven’t met a Blair Babylon book that I didn’t love! Genevieve has been assigned a man-child to basically babysit and turn his playboy reputation around before he loses it all. Will she succeed ? Will Arthur, the man-child, change his ways in time? How hard can this really be? Lmao! Don’t miss it!!

Drunk on John Lane’s voice

Whew! This book is one of my all time favorites of Blair Babylon, but add John Lane narrating it for over 10 hours and I’m hooked! John is a real live British speaking person who truly brings the characters alive. He nails Arthur’s voice, both is regular voice and his Dom voice. He can read to me anytime in that Dom voice! He even has Gen’s southern US accent down.

I highly recommend this audiobook! The book itself has all the best things I love about Blair’s writing in it. It’s detailed, lengthy, nuanced and well researched. I love how developed her characters are; you actually feel like you know them.

The best part is that it doesn’t necessary follow the meet-cute, dancing around each other, get together, have a fight, make up and live happily ever after story line that are often out there. This story line takes twists and turns and just when you think something is going to happen- she throws you a curveball.

I can’t wait until the conclusion of this duet is released on audio so I can listen to John read to me some more!!

This book is a rollercoaster

This book is a rollercoaster. You often laugh; sometimes you’re sad; the rest of the time, your heart beat faster, either because of the romance or the action. And all the time, you swoon because…ah, Arthur…

The characters are complex and extremely interesting, shaped out by a past that you spend two books discovering. Gen is the lead female character. Insecure, loyal and hard-working, she ends up in a fake relationship with Lord Arthur, a bad boy from nobility who’s hiding a big secret. But it’s for work: she’s a barrister, and he’s facing a lawsuit because his brother wants to take his earldom.

Between the legal shennanigans, the seduction between Arthur and Genevieve, and the thrilling suspense, I was never bored, and I couldn’t stop listening to it.

The narrator does an amazing job with the various accents and voices. I really enjoyed his work here.

The only real flaw I’ve seen is the repetition. Some details are given more than once, and since I have a good memory, I felt that I was seen as too stupid to remember what was said before.

But it was a very good audiobook, and I can’t wait to read or listen to the second part of the duet.

The real Earl of Sevren

It makes a story so much more interesting when the author does good research. There really is an Earl of Sevren, cousin to William and Harry. Not the totally hot, king of kinky, British spy, yet.

Cliffhanger ending killed it for me

Any book that ends in a cliffhanger immediately gets a 1 star from me. Can't stand that practice, especially when it's not clear in the blurb.

That said, this was a very enjoyable story that otherwise would have gotten 4 stars. I loved the characters and the story was entertaining. (But by the end I was ready to wrap up their relationship into an HEA, not go on into another book.) I enjoyed the British Royalty references, too. It was a light-hearted romance and was just what I was in the mood for.

There were a couple of things that I didn't care for, but I'll just give one example. I really dislike it when the H knows the h has issues with sex (virgin, prior sexual assault, etc) and he wins her trust, but then immediately jumps to discussing safe words, hard limits, bondage, etc. Why can't he ease her into things (safe words were appropriate here) before he springs the BDSM stuff on her??

I enjoyed book 1, I enjoyed book 2, but I'm ready to move on to another couple not continue with Arthur and Gen. John Lane always does a fabulous job at narration and this one was especially great with the English and Scottish accents.

Loving Arthur already

Arthur has become a loveable guy as the story proceeds, but I'm wondering where he's jetting off to and why??? What's the secret?? He and lawyer Gen serm to be developing trust and I love that. I like how he's helping Gen overcome some misconceptions and phobias..A real man. Hes brother Chris is beyond evil and greedy, so I'm hoping karma gets him. Great narration. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this story and am giving an honest review.

Intriguing and Entrancing

I loved this duet reading it the first time, but I felt it even deeper listening to this amazing audio book. There is something so powerful and inspiring about listening to the human voice and especially listening to one that is so entrancing and enthralling as John Lane's voice. He really brought depth and life to this already incredible story. I loved his enthusiasm for this spectacular journey and was left in awe of his performance. What a profound experience!

Just wow! I am so looking forward to the last half of this marvelous duet. I can't express just how much I love Blair Babylong's writing and listening to it come to life just makes my heart spill over with happiness. What a wonderful treasure to behold! Listening to her books just proves that she is the gold standard in romantic suspense!
