Publisher's summary

Stanford law graduate Kate Dawson is focused on the future laid out for her - partnership in her family's law firm and marriage. When she moves to a cabin in the Santa Cruz Mountains to study for the bar exam, crossing paths with her intriguing neighbor leads to a journey of sexual awakening and self-discovery that wasn't part of the plan.

Landscaper and handsome butch top Chris Brent has a well-deserved reputation as a considerate lover. Avoiding relationships with all their emotional messiness, she indulges in her favorite pastime at sex parties and with casual lovers. She enthusiastically agrees to initiate her cute neighbor to ways of sexual pleasure.

Sex was the deal. Falling in love ruins everything. Or does it?

good story

I'm not a Heather Miles fan. Her voice going up and down is irritating. And I don't like how they all have the same voice. But, it's still a good story to listen to.

Steamy story

Not a fan of the narrator. I had to check to see if it was an AI narrator. The story was still worth listening to.

Annoying Narration, Really Good Story

I can usually play with the narration speeds to my satisfaction but there was no helping this one. Good thing the story more than made up for it. Still worth the listen.

Terrible narration.

Listening to this story was almost unbearable. The narrator's tone and cadence belong in a D movie. The story had potential, but I had to force myself to listen.

Narrator is terrible

Heather Miles did a terrible job at reading this book. She really ruined the story the inflection in her voice was totally off. Every sentence ends with her voice going up. Nobody talks like that and it was very irritating to listen to. I think the editing must be off too. I couldn't stand to listen to another book she reads unless she has improved.

It is a good story

If you have the patience to stay with it and not through your device out the window because of the narration.
Sometimes I couldn’t decide if it was the writing of short staccato sentences or was it the strange narration. Heather Miles use a very good voice when she narrated CHris, but for the rest of the story she ended sentences when she felt like it, usually with raising her voice in a sort of a question. Better not change the voice for the narration and the characters than using this strange sound of short staccato parts of sentences that made it very difficult to follow the story line sometimes.

thought provoking

This story was about more than just all of the sexual encounters.There is a journey in this book for everyone. Chris and Kate each had a journey to take. Lucky for Kate that her grandmother saw what she needed. There’s a lot of family drama and dynamics. Believe in the old romance movies. I loved this audiobook. I know people didn’t like the narration of this book but you can get past it. You just have to get into the rhythm of it.

Hot, but not

This is one of a million cases in which the reader (this was neither performed nor narrated) ruins the book. This one seemed to have no understanding at all of the link between punctuation and voice modulation.
I got through the book because I liked the story But is would have been 5 stars with a better narrator.

A nice story

I also found the narration odd. Don’t let it stop you.
The story plot is surprisingly good romance.
Many of the characters are very likable.
There is character development and a few surprising plot twists.
And, of course, “Eyes simmering with desire.”
