The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes

A Novel

By: Cat Sebastian

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Cat Sebastian returns to Georgian London with a stunning tale of a reluctant criminal and the thief who cannot help but love her.

Marian Hayes, the Duchess of Clare, just shot her husband. Of course, the evil, murderous man deserved what was coming to him, but now she must flee to the countryside. Unfortunately, the only person she can ask for help is the charismatic criminal who is blackmailing her—and who she may have left tied up a few hours before…

A highwayman, con artist, and all-around cheerful villain, Rob Brooks is no stranger to the wrong side of the law or the right side of anybody’s bed. He never meant to fall for the woman whose secrets he promised to keep for the low price of five hundred pounds, but how could he resist someone who led him on a merry chase all over London, left him tied up in a seedy inn, and then arrived covered in her husband’s blood and in desperate need of his help?

As they flee across the country—stopping to pick pockets, drink to excess, and rescue invalid cats—they discover more true joy and peace than either has felt in ages. But when the truth of Rob’s past catches up to him, they must decide if they are willing to reshape their lives in order to forge a future together.

superb

A superb telling of the second book in this series. many thanks to the author and performer for their compassion and humor in telling Marian and Rob's delightful journey from enemies to lovers.

If I could only give ten stars!

The story was entertaining and different. The characters were unique and so much fun but…oh the audible performance! I simply LOVED it—so, so well done. I never laugh out loud and yet I was constantly bursting out with laughs. Again I loved this audible book and performance

More Disastrous People We Have to Love

Cat Sebastian excels at writing flawed but lovable protagonists. This is a sequel and both leads were introduced in the first book as extremely cool people. Now, in their own perspective, we see how they are plotting but also flailing! Unlike many books with imperfect protagonists, Kat Sebastian has you rooting for them from Chapter One!

If you love witty banter this is for you

I really really loved this book. the characters are so fun and make you fall in love with them. the initial exchange between Marian and Rob had me immediately sold. I also really enjoyed that they were adults with adult issues. It was honestly really nice to see smut scenes that didn't revolve around penetration with a hetero couple. The book was a delight and I finished listening to it within 2 days!

Another lovely story

Joel Leslie does a wonderful job telling this story. I love all things Cat Sebastian, especially when Joel narrates!
