About this listen
The whispers say he's a demon, but now he owns her . . .
It is vital Lady Georgia Stoughton finds a way to pay her father's debt, but the cursed man who owns it refuses her money. So when she offers herself in repayment, the devil with the body of an angel calls her bluff. Now she belongs to him, body and soul, until the last hour of December.
Lord Edymion, Demon Hayle, wants two things in his life: seclusion, and revenge on the man who scarred him, making him unfit for Society. Lady Georgia's father is the key to his revenge, but this contract is so much sweeter: the use of Georgia's body, whenever and however he wants, for the next month.
It's going to be a Hayle of a holiday season.
Georgia can't regret the arrangement that made her Demon's, not when she has free run of his castle, library, and neglected rose garden. And as she becomes addicted to the pleasure he shows her in the bedroom, she begins to doubt her own plans.
Then comes the letter with the announcement Demon has just unexpectedly become a duke. Well, blast. Is he ready for London? It's up to Georgia now, but as the end of December looms nearer, Demon's revenge is slipping from his grasp . . .
Contains mature themes.

Jasper Sutton—London’s most dedicated scoundrel—needs a wife, and he needs one quickly. He needs one yesterday, in fact. His requirements are precise: she must be capable of mothering the wild twin daughters who have unexpectedly appeared in his life, and so must possess the patience of a saint and the understanding of an angel. Better still if she is plain and has no expectation of a true marriage. He is not about to reform his ways.

Story
The Douglas sisters, beauties all, are valuable pawns in their family's bitter struggle to control the Scottish Crown. But when powerful enemies threaten, each Douglas lass will find she must face them alone. Captured by a Laird Haunted by his father's violent death, David Hume, the new laird of Wedderburn, sets out to make his name so feared that no one will dare harm his family again. The treacherous ally who played on his father's weakness is dead and beyond David's vengeance, but his castle and young widow are ripe for the taking. The moment David lays eyes on the dark-haired beauty defending her wee daughters, however, he knows this frail-looking lass is the one person who could bring him to his knees. Wed at thirteen to a man who tried daily to break her spirit, Lady Alison Douglas is looking forward to a long widowhood. But when the fearsome warrior known as the Beast of Wedderburn storms her gates, she finds herself, once again, forced to wed a stranger. Alison is only a pawn to serve his vengeance, so why does this dark warrior arouse such fiery passion and an unwelcome longing in her heart? With death and danger looming, these two wounded souls must learn to trust each other; for only love can save them.

Armed with comfy pants, overpriced coffee, and a highly anxious emotional-support corgi, I prepare to face him. Corporate boss. Villain. Salinger Svensson. I step into his office. His perfect mouth twists into a sneer. There is no heart of gold beneath that suit, just a big black pit. He’s a shark in the frothy waters of high-stakes finance. He might be the archetypal-asshole CEO, causing all in his path to quake in fear, but he’s never had to face down a basic bitch in her thirties.

After the stunt my ex pulled, no one would blame me if I swore off men forever, especially one like Mr Jay Anderson, Hollywood’s sexiest heartthrob. Maybe undressing me with his striking blue eyes as I perform the safety demonstration on a flight to LA is normal behaviour for him. Maybe not. But I know one thing for sure, he should come with a warning label. Because once you meet a man like Jay Anderson, there is no going back.

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

So silly I had to *favorite* this one.
Delightfully mixed in with the predictable romance novel moments and all the spicy parts... This made me laugh. For your weird cat, your heavy flow days, your love of creative swearwords....yup. A new favorite. Great narration.

Best book I've read in the series
This was part of the hilarious series by Caroline Lee I've been reading this past week. I haven't met a protagonist yet I didn't like. This book probably has my favorite male so far in Demon. He has the most quirky swearing I've ever heard and it's the basis of his vocabulary. Along with that he was sexy as sin, brooding, scowling and a big marshmallow when Georgia enters the picture. The other characters are all unique and add more interest to the story. I'm so grateful to have found this series and I love the narrator. He does a super great job of narration. I'll take note if I see other books he narrated I'll check them out for sure.

The Duke’s Bartered Mitress
The Duke’s Bartered Mistress by Caroline Lee
Surprise! Dukes series #2. Historical romance with erotica elements. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Lady Georgia Stoughton will do anything to find a way to pay her father’s debt. Lord Edymion, Demon Hayle, has refused all payments and offers to settle, mostly for revenge on the man that gave him scars enough to make him hide in his castle. Georgia is determined and as sparks fly, she ends up making a deal for Demon to use her sexually during the holiday season. They both become addicted to the pleasures they are able to share. News arrives with the announcement that Demon is now a Duke and he must take his place in society which throws all arrangements in flux.
What a nasty father. I’m sorry that Georgia feels a loyalty to him. But since she and Demon get on so well, in more than one way, it turns out well.
A steamy romp with plenty of humor and emotional connection. A wonderfully hot and entertaining series.
🎧 a wonderful performance by Philip Alces with humor and lust clearly heard.
