King of the South

Belgrave Dynasty Series, Book 1

By: Calia Read

Narrated by: Mason Lloyd, Kathryn Lynhurst

The year is 1919, and the Great War has ended. As everyone picks up the pieces of their lives, I have only copious amounts of alcohol and women keeping me together. 

Most of the men I went to war with didn't make it home, including my best friend, Miles. I thought I knew everything about him until I discovered he made me the executor to his little sister Rainey's dowry. 

Rainey Pleasonton is anything but pleasant. Most men in Charleston found her wild and carefree ways to be terrifying, which explained why she was 28 and still unmarried. 

I have 60 days to help her find a husband before she loses her inheritance, her family's legacy, and I lose the last of my sanity. 

The only problem is, I've watched her go from a little girl who chased us around with a bow and arrow to the only woman in the South immune to my charm. And the men who were once scared of Rainey? They now find my le savauge beguiling, and I do not care for it one bit....

Contains mature themes.

Sequel to this book

Listen to the sequel to this book all the way to the end I cannot believe that you let it hang like that why do you have people pay for books if you don’t finish this one was a good book the sequel sucks

Rainey and Livington’s journey

I really enjoyed this story. It was so nice to be back in the world of Belgrave after the Surviving Trace series. The push & pull between the characters was fun in this book. It was a little long, but I don’t necessarily think it was drawn out, it all fit. Wish me luck for Nat and Asa’s duet next, I have a feeling that’s going to be a messy and angsty journey, but I’m still so excited for it!! Also, as a sidenote, I love seeing all the cameos from the characters in the Surviving Trace series.

Outstanding

Excellent story, really loved the banter between the two main characters.
Warning: sexual content is right. It is steamy. The only thing this author does that I am not crazy about are her epilogues. She uses the epilogue to start another story. I know why she does this since I went through the entire series prior to this series. She Carrie’s the characters lives into the next book. I do really like that, unless I am out of audiobook credits. I really was surprised how much I enjoyed the narration. I typically don’t like two narrators on a story, but I was very pleasantly surprised & quite pleased with the narration. I check audiobooks for authors and narrators before the books are uploaded, so I do have a critical ear. And yet I find myself saying, very well done. One suggestion for the author, when using another language in a book, please repeat the words in English. Ty

Loved it

I loved it but can’t find anything online if there is or will be a second one. The ending isn’t really an ending but beginning to another part of the story!

Beautifully DRAGGED on story lol

So I actually did LOVE this story, a lot actually, but I will say it didn’t need to be 15 hours, 5 hours would’ve sufficed lol, but it was still very beautiful, can’t wait to listen to the other 2!!!!
