About this listen

Eighteen year-old Jessica's life is turned upside down the day the police knock on her door to deliver the news that her parents have been in a fatal accident. Her late father's gambling and reckless lifestyle leave her finances in turmoil and threaten to leave her homeless...until a chance meeting with a 30-year-old stranger means that her life changes forever.

Finding herself an unofficial ward of a mysterious, serious man, our American heroine and her enigmatic British 'Guardian' get used to living with each other...with all of the tensions, pitfalls and excitement that entails....

I was expecting a book not a drama. it was super cheesey and the storey was poorly written. although I can see the potential.

was not at all what I was expecting

This story of immediate love between an almost-19 yr old (who is "exquisite") & a 30 yr old (extremely attractive, wealthy British dude) was sooooo over-the-top. I'm glad it was free and brief, though I barely finished it, nonetheless. I kept thinking it would improve, but it didn't.
There are 1.5 sex scenes. The 1st one is extremely brief and barely amounts to anything. The last one uses relatively mild and non-explicit language (ex. core) during the quick encounter.

Ridiculous may-december romance

Good premise and strong beginning, but quickly turns corny. Age gap and her life experience is off putting when she compares him at the end. Would have been better without the last few paragraphs.

Starts out strong

The narration was superb but for the kissing and sex sounds, while the story was good but a little childish. The background music was lovely and overall the book was a quick and easy short; perfect for a long break during the day.

Oddly, it’s good

If you are familiar with Romantic Erotica, you will be overly prepared for the cheesy plot line of this predictable love story. But compared to most of the trashy and poorly written erotica written out there, I give Ms Raine a thumbs up for hitting this genre on the head and delivering the story with entertaining allure.

The dramatic narration and music helped to pulled me through to the end, laughing out loud at times over the stereotypical erotic descriptions, but was surprisingly enticed to listen in one sitting. Perhaps it was Edwards’s sexy voice that did it for me, and the Chopin pieces. I’ve got a thing for British accents.

Trigger warning: But I have to say, the barely 18 year old virgin having an affair with a significantly older man who is supposed to be her caretaker is an overplayed trope that is quite tasteless in a #metoo and #pedophile ridden world. 🤮 If Jessica was 25 I’d be a bit more excited about this romance.

Cheesy... but surprisingly kept my interest
