Don't Bargain with the Devil by Sabrina Jeffries
2.0
The Diego in Dora the Explorer is sexier than this guy
Even though this book had drugging, kidnapping, manipulation, many rape threats and some dubcon, this was mostly boring and had very little spice. I didn’t find either main characters to be fully developed and the story was just blah. I think Jeffries tried to do an old school bodice ripper but because her strength lies in fluffy fairytale regencies, she couldn’t pull it off.
Justine Eyre has done a good job narrating the rest of this series but her Spanish accent in this just felt cartoonish. Also Lady Kerr was done with a Scottish accent in previous books but here she had an English one, who’s monitoring these for continuity? No one!
Skip this one, it’s got no bearing on the rest of the series anyway.
