Daisy Haites

The Magnolia Parks Universe, Book 2

By: Jessa Hastings

Narrated by: Adam Hugill, Ella-Rae Smith, Michael Shelford, Sabrina Bartlett

All twenty-year-old Daisy Haites has ever wanted is a normal life, but as the heiress to London’s most notorious criminal empire, it’s just not in the cards for her.

Raised by her older brother, Julian, after their parents were murdered, Daisy has never been able to escape the watchful gaze of her gang-lord brother. But Julian’s line of work means that Daisy’s life is . . . complicated.

And things don’t become any easier when she falls hard for the beautiful and emotionally unavailable Christian Hemmes, who happens to be one of the few men in London who doesn’t answer to Julian.

Christian’s life is no walk in the park either, since he’s in love with his best friend’s girlfriend, Magnolia Parks.

He’s happy enough to use Daisy to throw off the scent of his true affections—until she starts to infiltrate those, too.

As their romance blossoms into something neither was anticipating, Daisy and Christian must come to terms with the fact that in this life everything comes at a price. Relationships intersect and tangle, and Daisy, Christian, and Julian will learn that sometimes life’s most worthwhile pursuits can only be paid in blood.

Daisy Haites

Listened to this while I was driving and not able to read my physical copy and loved it!!

My Heart 🥺

A phenomenal story. I love the fact that the writing is quite simply a stream of consciousness and the narrator most definitely portrays that well. Takes a bit of time to get used to all the accents but it’s still great

Love isn’t strong enough a word!

As amazing as this was on first read, I maybe enjoyed it even more on audio. Jessa Hastings is a genius and she loves to break my heart. The narrators were absolute perfection! Did I squeal at hearing Julian Haites voice? Yes, yes I did!

LOVE Daisy Haites!

Perfection! Daisy’s storyline is even better than Magnolia’s. I love the 3 alternating perspectives and it’s amazing on audiobook! Now I’m dying for the next in the series. 🤩

Obsessed

Whoever this was who read this perfect! They were perfect. I forgot more than once I was listening to an audiobook and more like I was listening to someone inner thoughts! Also Daisy .. what a bad ass! Love her! I like this book more than magnolias! Julian, let me be out chick. I’ll hold you down boo 😉

absolute perfection!!!!

all 3 narrators for DH1 were INCREDIBLE!!!!!! they all did the story so much justice. julian was 🥵🥵🥵🥵 christian was superb. and daisy was everything!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10 would recommend.

The narrators 👩‍🍳💋

I absolutely devoured this audiobook as much as the first book in this series. They casted the narrators so perfectly it was like hearing a movie unfold. I’m so glad I decided to read this series through audiobooks (Audible), it added a whole other level and this is hands down one of my favorite series because of it. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it just simply reading the book. And it’s so fun to hear Sabrina Bartlett voicing Daisy!! I had no idea she was Siena from Bridgerton!! She is perfect for the part.

5 stars!!!!

on first read this was 4.5 stars for me but it turns out all i needed was the voice actor for christian to speak to me

riveting & so emotional

This book had me feeling emotions I didn’t even know I had & had me connecting to the characters on a deep level. I felt it did great with the multi POV & I was able to stay engaged through the transitions.

Daisy>>Magnolia

Love love love! This book was so much more captivating than Magnolia, but they intertwine just enough where it’s not annoying and helps the plot
