Breathtaking

Red Lips & White Lies, Book 6

By: Bella Matthews

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Samantha Brentmoor

Pushing Maddox Beneventi away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done… until the day I showed up at his doorstep clutching a positive pregnancy test.

If you’d have told me we’d be married a month later, I’d have laughed in your face. Because this tall, dark, devastatingly handsome billionaire couldn’t possibly be my happily ever after. Even if he was the only one I’d ever truly wanted.

Fairy tales don’t always come true—especially for a princess. But this isn’t a fairy tale. This is the story of how Maddox Beneventi saved me. How he fought for me. For us.

Maybe one day, I’ll tell our child the truth behind our so-called happy ending. About the pain… the devastation and destruction that was left in our wake. How hard we fought. First each other, then everyone else.

One day, I’ll share that the price we paid was the pain left etched on our souls. But that day? That day isn’t today.

Worth the wait!

I have been waiting for Maddox Beneventi’s story for what feels like forever!
I have been loving the audiobooks for this series and I just knew be absolutely epic! And I was right!

Take 2 phenomenal narrators and add in a Bella Matthew’s story fit for royalty, and what you get is an audiobook that I couldn’t listen to it fast enough!
Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor did an amazing job bringing Maddox and Lennon to my ears! Lennon’s adorably posh accent, Maddox’s sometimes surely, sometimes sweet, always freaking swoon worthy voice, yes please!

I loved Breathtaking so much! And I’m so excited for more in this series coming oh so soon!! Striking, book 6 of the Red Lips and White Lies, comes out later this week. I will be one clicking that audio as soon as it’s available!

4.5⭐️

I loved Maddox and Lennon! Maddox has been the one I’ve been waiting for, I loved his parents book and couldn’t wait for his! It did not disappoint! They were funny, sweet and had hilarious banter. They fell for each other, but could never happen. Then one night, turned into forever. I love a marriage of convenience.

The only thing I didn’t need was when he told her he’d slept with hundreds of women since he found out she was engaged. Like I get the whole playboy thing, but that’s never something a girl wants to hear, idc if they say “I always saw you”, ick it’s a no for me. I get guys and girls are different in that regard, even still nope. Did I expect him to be a monk, no, but kinda lol. Even engaged she’d never been with anyone, then to learn he slept with her cousin…idk about that one.

Aside from that this one has been on of my faves from the series! I can’t wait for Striking!

Absolute Perfection

I have been waiting for Maddox and Lennon and oh man was it everything! These two had so much stacked against them.. like.. a whole freaking Country. Their story was messy and forbidden yet breathtakingly beautiful! 💜

I loved finally getting Maddox’s story and having so many questions answered! Bella has been edging us with Maddox information forever! Lennon was perfect for Maddox. She challenged him and didn’t fall to his feet like most people. These two were such a perfect balance for each other.

🎧 The audio to Breathtaking was absolutely perfecttttt. Jason Clarke & Samantha Brentmoor did an amazing job bringing Maddox and Lennon's story to life. The tension and banter between these two was so good. I could listen to this narration all day long (in fact, I did) 😉

Favorite Quotes:

Maddox Beneventi is going to save my life or ruin it. And I’m not sure I care which it is, so long as it’s him.

Chin up, darling, or the crown slips.

Swoonworthy

I loved Lennon and Maddox, but them on audible…even better!

Lennon is a Princess who is being forced to marry. Man she does not love because of a contract made long ago. She is fierce, sassy, stubborn, and loves her people hard. She will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her baby.

Maddox is a tall, dark and handsome billionaire. He is also charming playboy who loves to live in the fast lane and avoid attachments. He has an amazing family that drives him crazy, but they are loyal and would do anything for their family. He finds himself in love with a princess but she pushes him away and forces him to move on because she is promised to marry another man.

5 months ago they had a passionate night together that left Lennon pregnant. Now she has to return back to Kroydon Hills and break the news to the man she has always loved, but it furious with still.

This book had my heart breaking, me screaming, clapping for joy, and so dang happy they got their HEA. They had to go through so much heartbreak and pain, but the two found their way back to each other and made a family. The story was beautiful, even with the horrible fiancé that had my blood boiling. Maddox was instantly protective over the mother of his child and unborn baby. He would do whatever it took to keep them safe. I also love how his family accepted her instantly and made her part of the family. It showed her what it meant to have a real family, since back home all she really had were her brothers.

Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor bring Maddox and Lennon to life in the most perfect way. This is one of my favorite books in the series and I adore the audio of it even more. This is exactly how I pictured both Maddox and Lennon sounding!

This is an incredible story with so many emotions and so many highs and lows!
