The Lovers

By: Eden Bradley

Narrated by: Gina Cedarwood

Length: 9 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's summary

It seemed ideal - two months at a charming writers' retreat, surrounded by kindred souls. But Bettina Boothe wasn't prepared for just how long eight weeks truly was. Or that in the process, she would have to open up and reveal the most secret places in her body and soul.

Fortunately, her fellow authors do not share Bettina's self-consciousness and begin to draw her out of her self-imposed shell. One in particular - Audrey LeClaire - seems to ooze confidence and self-assuredness. Dark and petite, Audrey's potent sensuality draws the men and women in the workshop to her like flies to honey. Bettina is just as vulnerable, finding herself overwhelmed by a very unexpected attraction to Audrey who makes Bettina her special project.

But when Jack Curran arrives at the retreat, everything changes. Jack is tall, beautiful, masculine. A writer of dark thrillers, he is as mysterious and alluring as his books. He and Audrey are obviously an item, but they eagerly welcome Bettina into their bed. Suddenly, Bettina finds herself swept up in a maelstrom of lust, obsession and jealousy, torn between her need for two very different people in a love triangle where she will either be cherished…or consumed.

Graphic Sex, Graphic Sex, Repeat...No Story

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. If you want scene after scene of graphic sex then this is the book for you.

There was a skimpy plot line but not enough to make me happy. I need to hear some sort of plot that runs through the story and it was not there for me. This flimsy one was not enough and perhaps I was turned off by the pairings as everyone seem to sleep with everyone.

In my opinion, if you want something that is raunchy and very, very graphic (tasteless porn), this may be the book for you. For me it was actually too much & you can see from other titles I've listened to, I'm no shrinking violet.

The narrator did a good job as she had to do both male and female voice.

NOTE: Mature themes, vulgarity & strong language
Credit worthy: no
Cash Worthy: no

Steamy

If you are looking for all kinds of erotic this is the book for you. I'd recommend you take your time listening to it. Pretty decent plot. It's more about what happens behind closed doors (or not closed) than anything else.

Annoying Narrator

The story line proved to be interesting but I could not get passes the annoying breathy voice of the narrator....Really...where do people talk like that all day. Who does that? lol

Hot Lovers

This was a really hot book I love reading menage and this one was hot. Bettina Boothe has decided to live her apartment in Seattle to go on a writers retreat with some of the writers that she met online she needs to get out and meet people to shake up her controlled world. Audrey LeClaire is a dark haired petite beauty who introduces her to some girl on girl and it was hot she became obsessed Bettina couldn't get enough of her. Audrey is a girl with a dark past she doesn't do relationship. Enter Jack Curran he comes to the retreat and Audrey forgets all about Bettina and she feels rejected. The three of them decide to get together and it is hot as h*ll Jack is hot and sexy and also dark. This was a really good book that I would have gave 5 stars if Bettina wasn't in her head so much. Bettina has never been with someone just for sex without a relationship. Jack and Bettina get closer as Audrey moves on and each one of them begins to falls for each other although Jack has told her that he doesn't do relationships either. This book was hot it was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. This was my first time reading this author and I am looking forward to reading more books by her if they are this hot. If you like reading hot menage than I recommend that you read this book.

Couldn’t even finish the book

A book like this should have at least two narrators in my opinion. I was not a fan of this narrator at all. Couldn’t even finish the book. Story was fine if you can get pas the reader.

Extra Saucy!

I was pleasantly surprised by this listen. It had a story that was not like most romance books. It had a nice story line for that much sexy times; most of the time books filled with lots of sexy times do not have much of a story or plot. This was a new author and narrator for me, I'll look for more from both.
