The Black Hawk

Spymaster, Book 4

De: Joanna Bourne

Narrado por: Kirsten Potter

Adrian Hawker rose up snarling out of the slums of London, a cunning thief and a skilled killer. He's rescued from that life by the British Service, who have uses for his particular skill set. Justine DeCabrillac, daughter of the nobility whose parents died in the chaos of the Revolution, is rescued from a decadent child brothel by a woman of the French Secret Police. Justine, too, becomes a great spy for France. Attacked on a rainy London street, Justine knows only one man can save her: Hawker, her oldest friend - her oldest enemy. London is crawling with hidden assassins, and someone is out to frame Hawker for murder. The two spies must work together to find who's out to destroy them.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Just the right amount of intrigue makes this vivid romance a gripping page-turner." ( Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Compelling

The story was original and kept me on the edge of my seat.
The narrator brought life to the story.

Omg hawker

How could you not fall in love with hawker! Excellent book!!! It’s a must read book

Great Story! Great Narration!

What a great story. I thought this book was so much better than The Forbidden Rose, there was a lot more spy stuff going on. Great plot and story line.

I really liked Juliet and Hawker. Awesome couple, with great chemistry and some great sex scenes. There was a lot of dialogue throughout the book.

As for the narration, well it was fantastic! I love Kristen Potter's narrations, she gives everyone their own distinct voice and does accents and men's voices so good!

I love these stories.

I’ve read all of the stories in this arc. They are beautifully written; the characters are compelling and the author just tells a beautiful story. Highly recommended.

Kirsten Potter is by far my favorite narrator on Audible!

Fun and Dramatique!!

Lots of accents in this one, you can tell the narrator was having a lot of fun with it. Pretty spicy on some scenes so use headphones! 🤭

Adrian and Justine

Oh, how I love Adrian. He is my favorite character in this entire series front to back. I think I am a little in love with him, probably not as much as Justine. This book answers so many questions about some of our favorite characters. The intrigue and crazy world of spies drives this book, but the love is its core. Justine is a fantastic heroine, and Adrian is that lovable villain/hero that we just can’t get enough of.

Hawker

Ever since I first began reading the series I couldn't wait to hear about Hawkers story!! I am so pleased with this book! It was very well written, the plot was fantastic and the narration was very well done as well!

Just about perfect!

I just finished listening to this series of books by Joanna Bourne for the second time. A vivid evocation of the French Revolution & Napoleonic Wars, these books are thrillers and passionate love stories. Strong men and women, excellent writing, tricky plots, my favorite sort of book. And of all of the series, The Black Hawk is best. We have come to know Hawker and Justine in the other books, now this one fills in the gaps, elaborates, and gives them their HEA after many years of star crossed travail. I recommend reading the books chronologically. You can find the order on the author's website.

Excellent Narration of an Outstanding Book

Joanna Bourne’s excellent book is enhanced by Kirsten Potter’s superb narration. This book series is outstanding and I highly recommend each book in the series.

Well done

Well drawn complex characters that engage the reader. A smooth flow between the different times and settings.

A fun read.
