About this listen
She was destined to save his heart of stone....
Bookish museum curator Rebecca Clark has given up on dating. Real life men aren’t nearly as perfect as the men in the paintings and statues she sees every day at her job. But one night, she whispers a prayer to the universe to send her the perfect man. She had no idea a goddess is listening....
Devon Blake was Regency London’s most wicked lover, but when he sleeps with the wrong woman and leaves her unsatisfied, he finds himself cursed by none other than the goddess of love herself. After living two centuries trapped as a marble statue, Aphrodite gives Devon one chance to redeem himself, or he’ll face an eternity of made of stone. He must prove he can satisfy a woman’s every desire without satisfying his own.
When Rebecca discovers a naked man in her art gallery instead of a priceless statue at midnight, she has no idea he’s the answer to her prayers. Aphrodite has sent Devon to be Rebecca’s perfect man. Can Devon earn Rebecca’s love and trust by proving his selflessness or will it be too late?

The last thing Roberta Harcourt needs is to be trapped on a ship with pirates. After she is separated from her father, Roberta finds herself the unwilling guest of sinfully handsome Captain Dominic Grey.

Story
Royce Devereaux isn't your average sexy professor. He has a lot of rules in his professional and personal life. He keeps both worlds separated. He has to. He’s somewhat of a public figure - and he’s made enemies climbing to the top. He likes his sex rough, and a whole lot of naughty. Which means his students are 100% off limits. One problem. His new graduate student assistant, Kenzie. She looks at him like a kid looks at birthday cake, and he doesn’t like it. Except, he does. He likes it too much. But then an enemy decides to use Kenzie to force his hand....

Lady Pearyn Treedale has been affianced to Cameron Spencer, the Duke of Partridgdon, since she was eight years old. An archaic practice, but a situation she’s come to enjoy. At her formal introduction to society, she wasn’t like the other debutantes. While they all searched for husbands, she made friends, had titillating conversations, and did whatever pleased her. Her fiancé had the good grace to be absent most of her life. Then, the duke went on his world tour, and decided never to return to England, allowing Lady Pear a freedom most ladies never experience.

Grigori Barinov is the eldest in an ancient line of dragon shifters and the guardian of his family's lands and fortune. Sworn to protect their history and magic, he won't rest until he neutralizes any threat to their existence. When he discovers an ancient manuscript that exposes that his family and their dragon lineage has fallen into a mortal woman's hands, he knows he must get the book back by any means necessary. If that means seducing a nosy American woman with an intoxicating scent, he is more than willing to carry her off to his palatial home deep in the heart of Russia.

London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work, and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.

Amazing
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Devin met Rebecca when he was a part of a classical art exhibit that is being shown in 2018 America, in Mistlethwait, near Boston.
Devin was punished by the goddess Aphrodite as punishment 200 yrs ago. For his freedom permanently, Devin was put to a test by Aphrodite, a test that only involved Rebecca.
Because of Devin being 200 yrs old and Rebecca sounding British as well, the romance feels a lot more like a historical romance than a contemporary one when technology is ignored. There was a small bit of humor. Rebecca didn't mince word, and Devin had a big learning curve living in a new time.
There was 1 sex scene after more than 2 hrs into the book. It used no explicit sex language or terms for body parts and was relatively brief with little detail. Though the story occurs in the U.S., the narrator had an accent and cadence that worked for the story ok. But she didn't sound quite American enough to consistently and convincingly provide the needed contrast the story tried to evoke.
There was a loose end regarding the gallery's missing statue which Rebecca worried about and then didn't. And Devin spoke of getting a job. We're never told what. I hate loose ends in stories.
Feels more like a historical romance

I only finished 40% of this before I gave up. I love time travel books but this was going to be all about sex and I like a story, not just sex. I know a lot of women are all about sex and so I'm sure you loved this story. BUT, it wasn't for me.
So, all about sex and the F-bomb was used 6 times.
As to the narration: A hero who's tall and god-like shouldn't sound like a girl and that's exactly what he sounded like.
Terrible!
