Thirty-two-year-old Sebastian Vanwell was a very successful yacht broker who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious boat. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life.

After a very stable, loving childhood with only a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life, the one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself.

Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession - that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn't control no matter how hard he tried.

Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark-complexion Ysabelle Telle didn't have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only: herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her insuring her success as a VIP.

There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.

Warning: Contains sex, drugs, and mature language. Mature listeners only.

With love on her fingers and lust on her tongue this seductive vixen finds a man worthy to claim as her own except he comes with one downfall he’s already taken.
VIP was a coming of age story about Ysabelle Telle. She grew up poor, alone, and independent. In order to survive she used her body to seduce wealthy men.

Overall:
It’s interesting what my mind remembers from this book. I read this back in 2014 almost 5 years ago, but for some reason I don’t remember the long introduction with Olivia and Julia.

It has that bait and switch intro that originally grabbed my attention back in 2014. Now that I know the direction of the story and where these characters are headed I’m growing impatient to reach the scenes that I remember fondly.

With the switching back and forth between points of view I confused myself into combining Olivia’s character with Ysabelle’s. I kept thinking the scenes from Olivia’s childhood were Ysabelle having changed her name later in life. I had no idea that Ysabelle was an entirely separate character created for the sake of filling Olivia’s void.

I had a love/hate relationship with Sebastian Vanwell’s character. I respected his commitment to maintaining friendship between the girls, yet I hated how indecisive he was. I wanted him to man up and make a selfish choice instead of waiting for the choice to be made for him.

Narrator:
Sierra Kline was the solo performer of VIP. Her tone was perfect for Ysabelle. However, I envisioned something sexier and raspier for the voice of Madam. Of course I always prefer a male narrator to voice the male characters. In this case, I thought it was imperative that a male narrator with the deep timber voice would have enhanced the performance. That wasn’t the case. I managed to enjoy the scenes with only one narrator.

The sound of Sierra pronouncing words with the “sss” was loud in my headphones. It was piercing listening to the slur of “sss” from each word. The hissing sound was ear piercing.
The power of sex. The customer and the escort.

I had hoped the audiobook performance would enhance my experience considering I waited quite some time to invest in this audiobook. I read the entire trilogy feeling on cloud 9 only to be disappointed by my revisit. It was a combination of the solo narrator performance and the dialogue that had me feelings less than enthusiastic.

Settling for the best friend not realizing more was awaiting. The heart wants what the heart wants. A woman who belongs to no one but herself.
No moral compass
The story didn’t begin to get interesting until the halfway mark when Sebastian and Ysabelle met. It’s at this point that I remember loving the direction of the story. This connection between the escort and yacht salesman was scorching hot.
I sold myself for money. I was at the mercy of whoever purchased my time. Ysabelle gave him perspective in his choices.
One with the emotional connection and the other with the physical
The forbidden lovers belonging to others. Moral dilemma. Escort and the married family man. Angst. All these components made for an exciting read. The best of both worlds.
When you can have your cake and eat it too despite the consequences although nothing comes easy when crossing the forbidden line.
I loved the dual points of view having Sebastian’s thoughts was amazing.
How can something so wrong be so right.

This book went far beyond what I was expecting. In the beginning, I was actually a little disappointed that there wasn't more sex. I'm not (too) ashamed to admit that after reading the synopsis, I expected this to be more on the erotica side. Quickly, I realized that this was so much better. Despite it being longer than a lot of books I've listened to lately, it shouldn't have been able to make me feel like I lived these characters' entire lives with them. The most impressive part was how that feeling accompanied by boredom. It's a tricky balance and this audiobook nailed it.

The narration was awesome - no wind tunnel effects, quality editing, and no distracting mispronunciations. She did an outstanding job of portraying each character's personality (without going over the top).



I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

this book was amazing. though I have read it already Sierra made me love it that much more. she did such an amazing job. M. picked the perfect person to give life to Ysa and Seb. even though there was one person reading the story it felt like all characters had their own voice. so brava to M. for her fabulous writing and to Sierra for her fabulous narration.

amazing

What a beautifully written story about love, loss, and real life. I've not enjoyed a book this much in a long time and I listen to A LOT of books! I went through so many emotions in this book and wasn't left disappointed or feeling cheated at the end like I usually am after an emotionally charged book. Loved it! Definitely a 5* book, I would have paid full price if I didn't have a credit.

WOW!!! So many emotions brought to the surface
