Publisher's summary

How can a virgin seeking happily ever after with a hot pop star who has a penchant for threesomes win her fantasy man? Kimber Edgington desperately needs a plan to convince Jesse McCall, who's been her friend and secret crush since they spent a summer together as teenagers, that they are meant for each other. But all the tabloid stories about his sexual escapades make her feel oh so inadequate.

Determined to prove she's woman enough for Jesse, Kimber turns to bodyguard Deke Trenton for sexual education. Bold and brash, Deke warns Kimber that playing with him is playing with fire. But he can't bear to imagine the innocent beauty in someone else's arms. So Deke and his super sexy cousin, Luc, take Kimber under their wings and dangerously close to the edge of ecstasy. Though she's saved herself for Jesse, Kimber soon learns he's not the man adept at stroking her aching, endless need. That's Deke, and he can't resist when Kimber begs for more-and more.

Critic reviews

"Hot sex scenes, a strong yet innocent heroine, two devastatingly sexy heroes and enough danger, intrigue and tragic pasts to keep the pages turning." ( Romantic Times)

The female voice is annoying

I had a difficult time listening to the female character's voice. She sounds shrill and whiny. I liked the first book but the 2nd wasn't as good.

Good book, horrible female voice

The book is a great story, hot and steamy fmm. I loved all the characters, but the narrator, who is female, did a horrible job narrating the main character, a female. When narrating the male parts, she was great. I’d definitely buy another book by this author.

Two is better than one

Where does Decadent rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very high up there. Loved it.

What other book might you compare Decadent to and why?

Men with the Golden Cuffs. Both menage books.

Which scene was your favorite?

Loved the entire book. Can't pick just one. (and why should I try?)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but sadly, something called my job got in the way. I listen to Audible books on my drive to and from work.

Any additional comments?

Loved the book. I am going to buy and listen to the rest in the series. THAT alone tells you how good it was.

Ok ...book three ....come on Luc !

super hot!

story is a little meandering but the main characters share great chemistry and steaming sex.

A very good love story!!

I've listened to the first 2 books in this series now and if you like VERY sexy love stories then this series is for you. While the first book is about Jack, this one is about Deke (his business partner) and I think I have to admit that I liked this one better. Ms. Black is very good at writing these stories and even putting parts of the 2 books together. I have found all of her characters to be interesting and believable. So far everyones fantasies are no different then most of us have had at one time or another, it's just most of us have never brought them to life. I guess that's one reason these books are so enjoyable.

Wow!

The first book in the series is still my favorite, but this one is almost as good. I really like the main characters and the introduction of additional minor characters that may develop into other books. The story line is great and has more depth than the first book. As soon as I finish this review, I'm getting the next book in the series.

The narration is great!! Each character has a distinctive voice and the emotional content is perfect.

really enjoyed it!

Any additional comments?

no

The narraters voice for Kimber was child-like. UGH

Not for everyone. Two men on one woman. I might have liked this more if only Kimber's voice hadn't been so childish! I pictured a young teenager being abused by two men. Not romantic at all. Kimber's voice ruined it. Seemed abusive

Great Story! Give me more Shayla!

If you could sum up Decadent in three words, what would they be?
