About this audiobook

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Belle, from the Number One bestselling author, Lesley Pearse.

She witnessed a murder - and now her life is in danger . . .

Fifteen year-old Belle, though raised in a London brothel, is an innocent. But when she witnesses one of the girls brutally strangled by a client, she is cast into a cruel, heartless world. Snatched from the streets and sold into prostitution, she is made a courtesan in New Orleans. At the mercy of desperate men who crave her beauty and will do anything to keep her, Belle's dreams of home, family and freedom appear futile.

Are Belle's courage and spirit strong enough to help her escape? And what will await her at the end of the long, dangerous journey home?

Lesley Pearse, author of Number One bestseller Stolen, has done it again with Belle - a heroine for our times: a strong woman trying to be good in a world gone bad.

Ugh. This was painful. I forced myself to listen all the way because I had (foolishly and accidentally) paid for the book (smh). Quite simply, Belle is a dolt and whilst the author keeps reminding you that she is smart and clever, she makes moronic decisions that get her into situations that the reader can see coming a mile away. The narrator wasn't the easiest to listen to - to the point where I think I'll avoid her in future. Take heed fellow audiobookers, don't waste money or the 21 hours!!
