The Seduction of Lady X

The Secrets of Hadley Green, Book 3

By: Julia London

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

The surprising news that dashing steward Harrison Tolly, illegitimate son of the Earl of Ashwood, is the rightful heir to his father’s estate comes at a most inopportune time. With a wedding on the horizon and a baby on the way, a new life of privilege and prestige would be a blessing but for one problem: His heart belongs to another woman.

Harrison keeps his desires for his employer’s wife, Lady Olivia Carey, so hidden that even she does not know of his devotion. Her callous husband, Marquis Carey, went into a rampage after Olivia’s troublesome younger sister returned from her tour of Spain pregnant, and Harrison impulsively stepped in to save the entire family from scandal. Now, like Olivia, he is trapped in a loveless arrangement.

When a tragic accident claims the marquis’ life soon thereafter, can Harrison seize his chance and cast aside one sister for another? Or will doing so expose the Carey family’s darkest secret - and ruin his only chance to win Olivia’s heart?

My favorite in the series

This was a beautiful book. The characters were painted in delicate brushes and I absolutely fell in love with both the h/he. The dialogue was terrific. I really couldn’t stop listening. And the narration was SUPERB!

COULDN'T STOP LISTENING

This is one of the top 5 books that I have listened to. I happened to get the 3rd book from this series and I wanted to know what happened next and I loved what I heard!
From beginning to end, this book keeps you interested, you think you know what will happen when something totally different happens and that is the kind of book I like.
The narration is on point, pulls you in, makes you sad, angry, happy and satisfied at different points of story. The length was good, it didn't feel like it was that long and makes you want to have more story, more time.
You cannot not go wrong with this book: love, hate, struggle, temptation, betrayal, all the makings of a great story!

Great listen!

A moving and engaging story that works every bit as well as a stand alone as it does as part of a series. It wasn't until near the end that I recognized the connection to previous books and while this added context it was a bonus rather than a defining element. The story of Olivia and Harrison is so powerful that I have listened to this book multiple times and find something new each time. Well worth the credit.

I like a little more heat

This was a good story but the ending was very predictable. There was no other way to achieve a HEA. Wish she could have thought of a more imaginative way to work around the lovers dilemma to be together. There were 2 sex scenes that were OK. Not very heated in my opinion. Kind of short. However, some of the other books I've listened to by Ms London have had great love scenes, so this isn't indicative of her style every time. I've gotten used to the narrator and now really enjoy her voices and narration.
