Brutal Arrangement

Brutal Billionaires, Book 3

De: Laurelin Paige

Narrado por: Elena Wolfe, Robert Hatchet, J.F. Harding, Sarah Pederson

He can have any woman he wants.
He wants his brother’s.

Alex Sebastian is the billionaire who knows exactly how to re-launch the pop career I walked away from to raise my little sister.

He knows everything, apparently, about what’s good for me. For my image. Even for my lingerie. Everywhere I turn, he’s there, smirking. I cannot stand him.

So why can’t we stop sneaking around?

Maybe it's his filthy, bossy mouth that does things more wicked than his insults.

Maybe it's that he does know what’s good for me when he uses it—backstage before my show, during a black tie event, in another man’s living room.

Because maybe deep down, I've never been the good girl the world sees, and the dirty, shameful things he makes me do are exactly what I crave.

The problem? Alex isn’t the Sebastian billionaire I'm dating–I’m dating his brother.

But his mercurial actions confuse her, but doesn't stop her from wanting him. Alex always wished he had met Riah first.

But Alex doesn't want to be second choice to Hunter again, and Riah doesn't want to be a pawn for the Sebastian's. Can they really trust each other and find their forever love? I loved Riah and Alex together! The transformation they undergo as individuals and as a couple is so intriguing, and captivating, I couldn't get enough! I loved Riah's growth and confidence, and Alex's courage to be vulnerable. Riah's sister was fun as well, and seeing more of the Sebastian family makes me excited for what comes next.
Paige wrote a beautifully poetic and unforgettable love story. Every scene seductively embraces you, holding you in complete rapture. I loved every word of this beautiful, passionate, poignant, and super steamy romance!
Elena Wolfe, Robert Hatchet, JF Harding, and Sarah Pederson's narration added so much depth to these characters in this breathtaking romance, bringing it to life so clearly. The way Wolf and Hatchet portray Riah and Alex's complex relationship, making me feel all the angst, heartbreak, hope, and passion they felt was brilliant. Harding was so convincing as the self serving Hunter and Pederson shined in her narration debut as Riah's sister Whitney. I was completely captivated by their performance.

brutal for sure

these stories are certainly brutal they have you squirming in your seat their intense. you obviously can't stop listening cuz you have to find out what's going to happen in the suspense in it if they almost get caught is something else. definitely sucked me in and was a great story to listen to I can't wait for the next one to come out the narrators of course I can say nothing but the best I love both and the end JF Harding they're phenomenal actors and it just elevates the story so much more.

Good Read

I love this series but hate how all the women are so spineless. They let the men treat them like crap and just go along with it. Otherwise, great books.

Riah & Alex

Brutal Arrangement is book 3 in the Brutal Billionaires series and even though I didn’t read the first 2 books, I didn’t feel like I missed anything so you can definitely read as a standalone. I saw the tropes for this and was sold. I will eat up anything that is ex’s brother type. This was also my first book from Laurelin Paige and it turns out I love her writing. It was VERY SPICY.

Riah has had a complicated relationship with Hunter. They were together but she knew that he was seeing other people. Then he had a change and proposed being exclusive with her. While she thought he was committed to her, it turns out there were still other women. But their intertwined life made it hard to leave so they kept putting on a show.

Alex is Hunter’s brother and steps into the role as Riah’s brand manager. And he pushed her to be sexier and the way he did it was, phew, so hot! Alex brought out a side of Riah that he hadn’t discovered but grew to love. The closer they got, the more intense things got. Their sneaking around and secrets made it more thrilling. I was burning up the entire time listening to this! This wasn’t any sweet romantic s-e-x, they really brought out the dirty in each other. They did truly love each other though and it took them a while to admit that.

The audio was so good, I didn’t realize how well these narrators would do as this strong alpha billionaire. And holy crap, the way that Elena Wolfe added the vocals into the narration. SLAYYED!

Loved this book!!

Riah and Alex are perfect for each other and I fell in love with them!
Such a well written book with developed characters and storyline. I love the Sebastian’s! They are alpha male and know what they want. As always Laurelin always writes addictive books! And the narrators were perfect and I loved them ❤️

Love hate exploring fun

I enjoyed this love hate relationship. Fun banter, sometimes mean. I enjoyed this from beginning to end.

Good but long

The storyline was good, but it was overly long. Steam was good but the deprecation was a real downer.
