Order

A Romantic Suspense Secret Royal Billionaire Novel

By: Blair Babylon

Narrated by: Lucy Rivers, Shane East

Dree Clark thought tall, ripped, thoroughly hot Augustine was her knight in shining armor, until she discovered he was her priest.

Where’s the last place in the world evil drug dealers from Phoenix would look for a girl who owes them money?
Nepal.

Dree is on the run. Her dead ex-boyfriend owes a whole lot of money to some drug dealers, and if they can’t get the cash from Dree, they’ll take it out of her hide. When Catholic Charities offers Dree a mission into the far reaches of Nepal because they need a nurse, Dree jumps at the opportunity and prays she’ll be safe.

Until she meets the Catholic priest who’ll be leading the mission.

It’s Augustine, the sexy guy from Paris.

But he has a new name, Father Maxence Grimaldi.

Well, she’d told him to lie to her.

She just never thought he’d lie about being a priest.

Now, she’s journeying far out into the wilds with the hot priest.

And oh God, they’re riding motorcycles, and he’s wearing black leather with a priest’s collar.

And there aren’t enough darned tents to go around.

She’s not going to be able to keep her hands off him.

Exciting!

Max and Dree! Love this story. Part 2 of Max’s story (part 4 of a larger story) really need to read Max’s part one first. Well written. Looking forward to the next part of the story. I usually don’t like cliffhanger books. This story is worth waiting for!

The drama continues with Maxence and Dree

Order picks up where Rogue leaves off and there’s plenty of questions and tension between Max and Dree. I loved reading their story and then listening to it and seeing how it is unfolding... each searching for their purpose and trying to figure out if their futures can include each other. Loving this series... anxiously awaiting the next book in the series...

Deacon Father Maxence and Augustine clash

This book is the second book in Maxence's story and it picks up right where Rogue left off. I recommend reading Rogue before this book.

Maxence needs to get away from his temptation and away from his dynastic problems, so he joins a mission trip in Nepal to build micro-NICU buildings in difficult to reach villages along the mountainsides. His trip is planned with 4 other men - certainly wouldn't want to tempt Deacon Father Maxence with a woman tagging along! However, shortly after he arrives in Nepal, he learns that the medical personnel that was going to join the mission had to back out. Here comes Dree to save the day!

Dree and Augustine had a wild affair in Paris just before the Nepal mission. Dree is looking to escape her ex-boyfriend's issues and the cops by joining a Catholic mission in a faraway place. And of course, she ends up on the same mission trip as Augustine, except now he's going by the name Deacon Father Maxence. How could she have had an affair with an almost priest?!

They both vow to not be tempted by each other and to focus on the mission. As the days pass, it seems that they are constantly drawn together. Maxence, Dree, and their fellow campers on the mission visit many villages along the way. The poverty and plight of these villagers tugs their heartstrings. Maxence and Dree discover that they have a lot in common including their need to help those with less than they have. They both discover that their relationship is much more than the lust they had in Paris.

Shane East and Lucy Rivers both did an amazing job narrating the story and bringing these characters to life. The audiobook definitely puts the story in another dimension. I highly recommend listening to this and all of Blair Babylon's books. The book ends on a cliffhanger, as usual, and I can't wait to listen to the next volume, Prince.

What a rollercoaster of emotions!!

What a rollercoaster of emotions, and a whirlwind of life. Max and Dree gosh I love this couple. Dree knows what Max is what she doesn't understand is why he is hesitating now? She knows her heart will be shattered but maybe Max feels the same? Come along while these two take us from village to village helping others and finding themselves perhaps? Oh my god I loved this book!!! And having two narrators made it come alive, it's like the couple was right there talking in front of me. These narrators did a superb job of bringing this story to life.

Sexy and emotional

When Dree finds herself in a new country, courtesy of Catholic Charities, she's ready to rush all-in to make a difference in people's lives, especially the tiny babies who might have little to no chance of survival if she doesn't push herself to the max. But Max is the biggest surprise when she reaches her destination and discovers she has left her heart behind only to find out Maxence Grimaldi just might be the most surprising piece of her destination. Still hunted by the drug dealers she left behind in the U.S., she's headed on an adventure that may prove to be more than she or Max could have ever predicted.

I bought this in Audible and on Kindle so I could read it with my eyes while listening, something I haven't done before but truly enjoyed. I feel like I've been waiting for Maxences story since we first meet him in this author's earlier books. There's always been something sweet, sexy, and wicked about him that has made me want to know him and find out who he truly is. Well, we definitely see that in this story. And the cliffhanger that leads into the next book has me salivating. I can see some sinful thrills ahead, and I can hardly wait.

Loved it!

Max's story just keeps getting more and more intriguing! I loved seeing the characters under different circumstances and how each one shows a different side to them. I still find Dree a little annoying, less than the previous book, her being so naive and oblivious at times just gets to me especially since her character is a NP. Apart from that I love reading this series and can't wait to see what happens in the next installment. Both the narrators do a wonderful job and I especially love listening to their different accents.

Engrossing

Order is the 2nd story in this series by the incomparable Blair Babylon. She has woven a tale of passion, commitment, adventure, intrigue, spiritualism, and a little danger packed into one story.
After parting with Maxence in Paris Dree accepts an offer from Catholic Charities to go on a mission to Nepal as a much needed nurse. The man heading the mission is to her shock none other than Deacon Maxence Grimaldi. As they journey through the wilds of Nepal treating the many Nepalese that have been without medical care for months, her platonic relationship with Maxence develops into a deep friendship and the attraction they have for each other becomes more and more difficult to deny.
Through this journey, Maxence tells her tales of royal life in a country that she believes to be fictional. And at the same time Maxence is doing some very serious soul searching about why he became a Jesuit and he insists that his goal is to take final vows to become a priest. Because of his proclaiming that he will take final vows, as they become closer together, Dree comes to the realization that her relationship with Maxence can only end in heart ache. So she knows she must leave him.
Oh, but just when you think the fate of these two lovers has been decided, in true Blair Babylon style she leaves you with another cliffhanger that will send the two lovers on yet another journey.
Shane East’s performance as Maxence is perfection. He brings Maxence to life with all the emotion necessary to keep me totally absorbed in the character and in his dialogues about life and his faith. Lucy Rivers is exceptional as Dree and I can’t help but love her character and want to hear more of her.
Though this is a continuing story, I highly recommend it. I don’t doubt that You will be as absorbed in it as I have been. I am so anxious now to continue on with the next in series Prince.

Going on the road opens their eyes to new truths

They thought they never see each other again after that night in Paris but Fates seem to think not as they go on the road trip for charity they never dreamed they thing they see and feel, When it all seem to go sideways they thinking this it when Fate step in again.....

This does have nice cliff hanger but boy what a Read and Listen!

Great story and narration

Firstly you must listen to this series in order so if you have not read or listened to book one, Rogue, you need to stop and do so before you move on to Order. This book picks up where we left off in Rogue.

Narrated by Shane East and Lucy Rivers, they did a great job in bringing Ms.Babylon’s story to life and I loved listening to Order. In this book there are so many twists and turns and this book cemented my love for Maxence and the woman who captured his heart Dree.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive. Through a series of lies and omissions, Dree Clark is shocked to come face to face again with the sinfully hot man she met in Paris, Augustine, in of all places, Nepal. Except here he is better known as Deacon Father Maxence Grimaldi.

Maxcence is such a complex man and Shane certainly captured this in his performance. The chemistry that smoulders between them is intense and their connection is deep. I was captivated by this story from the first word to the last.

This was a fast paced adventure which had me on the edge of my seat as I listened to this story. Order was well written, witty, nail biting, suspenseful, intriguing and all in all a great book to listen too.

I cannot wait for the next book, Prince.

Sin with Max

This is a great continuation of Max and Dree’s story. The charity trip in Nepal is poignant and detailed, and we learn more about the service side of Max’s character and how driven Dree is to make the world a little better one patient at a time. There is still the heat you expect in Blair’s stories, with a bite of danger, but it is the characters that drive this portion of the saga. Well worth the time and the credit!
