Publisher's summary
Allison, a snobby rich girl who has been raised to be a miniature version of her snobby rich parents, has a secret: She wishes for all the experiences that her lifestyle has kept her from having. Especially the sexual ones. When she drunkenly admits this secret to roguish, lower class, scholarship student Todd, several years older than her and much more experienced with life and sex, she finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of fantasy.
It all starts with a game of strip poker, and when competitive Allison finds herself with the losing hand she recklessly bets her own body for the night...and Todd uses the opportunity to videotape their activities and blackmail her with it, just the way she had told him she wished someone would. No longer constrained by her need to be the good daughter, "forced" into debauchery, every Friday night Todd takes her on a different "date", fulfilling one of the fantasies that she never dared admit to before.
As Allison learns about passion and sex, she finds herself starting to learn about falling in love too. But does Todd love her back? Or is he just enjoying having the game?

Story
Wealthy and privileged, Allison has lived a comfortable and boring life. But it's a life full of secrets, too. When she finally admits that she's ready to walk on the wild side, she makes her confession to the one person who has the experience to make all of her fantasies a reality. As handsome and roguish Todd challenges Allison to a less-than-innocent game of poker, she recklessly bets it all - herself included - and gives Todd everything he needs to relieve her of her "good girl" guilt.

Story
She’s in the wrong place at the right time...Gunshots echo, reverberating through me, allowing me to feel something...anything other than the pain that consumes me. That should be a warning to stay away, but for some reason, she comes closer. Intruding on my silence. Sharing my darkness. Close enough for me to see the look in her eyes. It’s not fear, but desire that darkens her eyes in the moonlight. She should run. Run far away from me, but she never does. She comes close enough to touch, tempting the devil inside that wants to cause devastation for the loss I’ve suffered.

The second came when I had to leave behind everything I knew to move across the world to live with my only remaining relative. But what was life for, if not for living? So I kept moving. Then the third thing happened, just as I was about to begin my junior year at the prestigious Blackstone University. I caught the eye of not one, not two, but three of the most infamous guys on campus. The three guys from the wrong side of the tracks.

Story
When rising rock star Jack Kingston comes to play on our college campus, I think he’ll be just another fix. Instead, he flips everything around and makes me question who I am, what I want, and why I do what I do. After he leaves, everything changes. Pushing myself in the pool, struggling to keep up with my twin sister, it’s what keeps me from losing myself entirely. Swimming isn’t my passion. It’s my source of stability. When I find the courage to finally start pushing my boundaries, I discover success in ways I never imagined, both in and out of the water.

I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it. Now I find out he’s a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview.

The man with the Midas touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed. Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers - and tongue - all over me.

Will the bet be a winner?
Golden Angel has given us the first part of the Poker Loser Trilogy and I have to say, it's intriguing! Allison is from a pretentious family who expects her to be the good girl, marrying a man that is her status. Allison is infatuated with Todd, a good looking, man on campus. When he asks her out, she goes, and after a drunken poker games is the star of a explosive sex tape. But the only thing Todd wants in exchange for the tape is 5 dates. Will she go on the dates to keep her reputation? Holy hotness, this book takes us on those dates, and we get to see Todd bring out the true Allison. These two have incredible chemistry, and through the steamy scenes, there is an underlying romance. But will their feelings come to fruition? Will Golden Angel keeps us guessing and we will find out where the story takes us in the next installment. Be prepared for the steam in this story. If you do not like erotica, this may not be for you. But if you do, it's the beginning of an amazing trilogy!
The pick of a narrator for this story has to be chosen carefully. Not only do they have to have great voices, but the ability to deliver the scenes with finesse. Victoria Mei is cast perfectly. She has incredible talent, giving voice to the characters. She makes the scenes erotic with a sense of vulnerability that lets us know growing feelings of Allison and Todd. I love her portrayal and can't wait to see where these two go next!

Sizzling story!!
A story of having your fantasies fulfilled, growing up, and becoming your own person.
I read this story, then listened on my commute. It seems so much more “forbidden” out loud!!
It’s the first of 3 stories.... I recommend the entire series... you won’t want to stop!!!

Erotica
This is the first book in the Poker Loser Series. This is a short very steamy erotic romance. I was a little out of my comfort zone while listening. I would have liked more story between the steamy scenes. Victoria Mei did a great job with the narration. If you like erotic romance, this one is definitely for you. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.#earbudsrequired

Great beginning to a new series
Golden Angels' enemies to lovers story is a winner. The story was fast past tho s little more taboo than her previous series. I thought Victoria Mel did a fairly good job tho her cries of "ecstacy" we're distracting. I was fortunate to win a credit for this book.

A game worth listening
Book 1 in the series. I’ve got hooked on this story from the beginning. Golden Angel wrote a story that had lots of twists and turns . The heroine and hero come from different worlds . Both their world changes when the hero challenges the heroine out and it leads to a night that she won’t forget
Victoria Mei Performance was great. Her voice is husky , clear and smooth

Making kinky dreams come true!
Warning ear buds or head phones needed unless you are alone! Golden Angel has written an explosively kinky story that you'll hate to put down. Todd will make Allison's kinky dreams come true. We will see Allison go through so much character development. This spoiled stuck up rich girl will develop empathy and understanding of those not rich like her family. She will have a sexual awakening and learn what is really satisfying and important to her. As you listen to this story, you must remember that Todd is fulfilling her sexual dreams. Since this is a trilogy there will be more to their story. The second and third ebooks are available now. Victoria Mei was a superb choice as a narrator. She makes these hot sensual love scenes even hotter. She expertly portrays the emotions and personalities of these characters. I highly recommend this Audible book if you love kinky panty melting stories.

This is book 1 of a 3 part series and MY GOD was it super dirty and sexy! Golden Leaves you wanting more. Victoria Mei does a wonderful narration!! Her voice sounded like naughty silk that keeps you into the story.
Will say that this book might not be suited for everyone, there are some "graphic parts" but Golden and Victoria have a way of making it very decadent.

Every sex fantasy played out 😝 but with respect
***I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Before we go into this, this book is a work of fiction. The author has made clear blatant obvious discretions that there are dubious and questionable content that should not be condoned on real life. As such, this review is based on a suspension of belief and based on type of genre/tropes of this story***
Story and Character:
The story plays out almost every sex fantasy a person could have. Although the method Todd used to introduce Allison to do so was through blackmail, I do believe he made certain Allison would be okay with it before he acted on any of it.
In a sense, he wouldn’t make her do anything she wouldn’t be okay with and ensured her she could always bail. I appreciated the degree of respect because it meant he could control the level of safety rather than have Allison discover it herself and act recklessly as a newbie. Even if Todd feels bouts of jealousy, he doesn’t get possessive and impede Allison’s sexual adventures/exposure. He wanted her to discover her sexual wants and needs and embrace them. So kudos to the sex positivity.
The story did get predictable pretty fast, but I don’t mind as long as it’s executed properly/reasonably. Allison feels confused between pleasure and intimacy; whereas Todd struggles with self-esteem and feeling worthy enough to date Allison for real. I could imagine a lot of judgement and pressure the two must feel coming from different social classes.
I also appreciate that the two are taking some time to figure things out in their lives before committing, which makes sense for anyone in their early 20s. The book is short listen and a trilogy so hopefully we see more development and communication in the future. Side characters are likable enough and quite different from what I would have expected.
Overall the story was short, hot, and sweet 🥰 I didn’t get a sense of angsty drama but I can’t say for the next installment.
Narrator:
Victoria Mei is a new narrator for me, and I absolutely love her voice. Her voice is smooth and has a reserved sultriness to it. However (and I think it goes for all romance books), the sex sounds/moans can get a little cringey. Honestly, I don’t think any narrator can execute this without sounding a little ridiculous. But overall, I want to hear more from Victoria Mei.
