Book 2 is okay but definitely not as good as book 1. I felt annoyed throughout the story. Narration was good.

The virtual voice is horrible and having the male voice for the entire story (with no change, no emotions, etc.) made it hate to follow. At first i thought it was just the narration that I didn't like but I forced myself to listen and the story is ridiculous or at the very least the speed of the story is ridiculous. It moved to fast and made it unbelievable. It is disappointing because the story could be great.

I really liked this book. It could have been shorter instead of drawn out but I liked it. Towards the end I just wanted it to end because I was tired of Holly and her BS.

3 Book Bundle... fell short!

Reviewed: 04-25-24

I was not a fan of this series and to be honest I would not have continued with the second and third book if I did not buy the bundle. The third book was the best out of all three in my opinion. I felt like there was a lot of extra information that wasn't necessary, it just felt drawn out. I felt that it was unrealistic that Harley was a Virgin Call Girl. I also felt it was weird that Harley was a sex addiction but was a virgin. I can understand being addicted to the excitement but it just didn't vibe for me. I completely understood Trey's sex addiction, as he was banging all of the cougars in the building. I am a fan of Lauren Blakely and will continue reading / listening to her work but the only thing that made this series manageable for me was the narrators. They were wonderful.

This one is better than the first 3 books...

I felt like this book has been the best book yet in this series but I was disappointed that Abby was still immature. She would do things that she knew would bother Henry, like hang with Rowan and Connor or let Connor carry her and smack her butt but she would get upset if other women were around Henry that she felt inferior too. She seemed to be gaining confidence in standing up for herself with current people but not her mother, which was annoying. Hopefully she will be over most of her insecurities in the next book.

Okay.. just okay.

The story is okay. As the same from the first book, there were parts of the story that seems to be rushed. Although book 2 gives Abby more growth, her character is still lacking. I did not understand how she would so easily jump into bed with different people, she had no self control... if she saw or hear others involved in the dirty, she just lost control without regret or hesitation but could not give Henry the benefit of doubt. It just seems one sided and played up her immaturity. I found it annoying that she would not stand up to her mother. The Rowan and Connor relationship was fun and it would have been better if there was more to it or it lasted longer.

Engaged enough to keep going....

I like it dirty.. very dirty but sometimes you need a break so I figured I would give Tempt Me a listen. It was okay. I wasn't one of the best books I have read or listened too but I was engaged enough to finish the first book. It was just to sweet and soft for me. I read a few comments about this being way to graphic, my opinion was I needed more! LOL. Some parts seemed slow while others jumped right in. It seemed unrealistic that a young farmgirl who was a virgin would jump right in and give herself to a stranger in less than a week. The timeline just didn't work for me. The character was naive (somewhat understandable) but her insecurities became annoying at times. The performance was fine, no issue with Avery Reid.

No More Virtual Voice.... PLEASE!

Reviewed: 03-12-24

Performance - Narration with the virtual voice is terrible. It was monotone, lacks emotions, and at times I couldn't tell which character I was listening too. Please stop the madness with these horrific narrations. If they would at least have a female tone and male tone for the virtual voice, maybe that would help but I doubt it. Also, why not have the virtual voice deeper... the high tone of this "male" reader doesn't do it for me. Another issue is that there have been a few mistakes I have notices so far.

Story - So far it is not that great. It is slow and with the terrible virtual voice I don't know if I can even finish this book.

Overall - I feel bad only marking this with two stars, who knows... the story could be okay but so far it is not and the narration is just killing this for me and I can't even get into this book because of it.

Not sure about others who enjoy audio books, but one of my guilty pleasures is listening to Sebastian York or Teddy Hamilton. NOT listening to virtual voice.

What a fun, sweet, and funny feel good story. I have always loved Lauren Blakely's books. Perfect narration by all three readers.
