Publisher's Summary

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Belle, from the number one best-selling 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.

Overall intreging story

Horrible horrible scenes about child rape / trafficking but if you can push though that it has a story line leaving you want to know what happens next. Dragged on a bit in the end. Could have finished two hours before it did and be satisfied

Narrator very annoying - listen to sample first

I found the story ok, definitely one of the lesser ones (have read a lot of LP's books).
The most annoying thing I found was the narrator. She kept having these pauses mid sentence, extremely annoying and badly narrated. Won't listen to part 2 and 3 of this series!

An interesting view into the underworld

A little predictable and chic flick but a good story covering England, France and USA. Will eventually read the follow ups just to see where they take the heroine.
