About this listen

The first rule is obey . . . and she already broke it.

Francesca "Frankie" De Luca always pays her debts. Even when it means stepping inside Serve, the sensuous Manhattan club that caters to particular adult desires. For Frankie, it's a taste of something she's always wanted—and never received. Until a sharply dressed Brit orders her into his room, and instructs her to undress before delivering the carnal punishment she so desperately needs . . .

She wasn't the woman Porter Evans was expecting. Not this wild thing with the pale, silvery eyes. And such cheek. But she violates Porter's strict rules of control. Temptation is a dangerous thing indeed. Yet everything about Frankie cries out for schooling about the tantalizing interplay of pleasure and pain. So Porter offers Frankie a deal she can't refuse-and the only thing she owes him is submission . . .

Contains mature themes.

Porter (MMC) and Frankie AKA Francesca (FMC)

I listened to the audiobook, and I must say, the narration was fantastic 👩🏼‍🍳💋.

I've read most of TB's books at this point, and believe me when I say that 'Driven by Fate' is super HOT 🔥. The amount of delicious dirty talk is off the charts and it has quality, as they are very well written. The dirty talk alone would be 5 stars ⭐️, imo.

However, this is the biggest downside for me:
As most of TB's books, this one is also insta-love (no sirprise there 🙄). The problem is that the two MC's have palpable physical chemistry, but quite honestly, they don't have anything in common outside of the bedroom. I don't find it believable that in their case, a super hot s*xual intimacy would be enough to hold a long-term relationship.
Also, Porter was kind of a douchebag more than once, making Frankie run for the hills to get away from him asap. He kept pushing her away (not literally), and then when she wanted to leave, he would immediately chase her 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️😤.

I get that this is a short romance novel and not reality, so perhaps you'll love this book and find it excellent. In a short shorty the depth and development of the characters is usually limited due to restraint of time.

The plot is the following: Frankie is an honest and hard working, blue collar taxi 🚕 driver, who is also studying to get her MBA in Business. She ran into Porter at a s*x club when she was running an errand. Porter is a British Lone Wolf who was raised with wealth but no love. He immediately feels attracted to Frankie after they spend a short time together in the s*x club (he spanks her 🍑), and decides to hire her as his assistants that he can get to know her better after hours (if you know what I mean 😏🔥).

This is an entertaining story with spice 🌶 and endearing characters. Hope you'll like it.

Happy reading!
