Publisher's summary

Can you fall in love in thirteen hours?

It's her birthday but lonely workaholic Dana Watts is at the office late, drafting a proposal. The very last interruption she expects comes in the form of the most beautiful breasts she has ever seen. These belong to an incredibly hot woman, who is standing in front of her, stripping to music. Laurel Stanley performs strip-o-grams to pay her way through school. She has never encountered a more ungrateful recipient than Dana. The uptight project manager makes it clear that she is furious to be distracted from her work by the "gift" a colleague sent and equally appalled by Laurel's occupation. After Dana is rude and insulting, and insists on escorting Laurel from the building, the two women take an elevator ride that changes everything.

Stuck with each other for thirteen long hours after the elevator breaks down, they discover how wrong first impressions can be and how right two strangers can feel together. Can everything change in less than a day? Dana and Laurel set out to discover if their passionate elevator encounter can mean more in this fast-paced, erotic story of lust, loneliness, fantasy, and desire.

Holy f**k, that’s hot!

They spent 13 hours stuck in an elevator. I spent half that simmering along with them!

This is erotica with enough writing and storytelling skill to be a lesbian romance too. As implausible as the premise is, it feels like yes, in this unlikely situation, with these particular people, these events could really happen.

It is not PG. It is not vanilla.
It is unapologetic, unashamed female sexuality and a sweet love story.

Alicyn Aimes does such a good job with the dialogue and emotion, it is a bit odd how flat the storytelling in between comes across. Almost seems like it was done deliberately. Before the end I wondered if she was an alter ego of another audible narrator. This recording is nearly a decade old. I could see this voice evolving into that one. But that’s just my idle speculation.

Others have complained about her narration, but I enjoyed her voice. I enjoyed the characters she created from Meghan O’Brien’s words.

I know I will be adding this to my favorites and listening again.

Hot story horrible reading

The story was pretty hot but I just felt like Siri was reading me a book it took me about 15 minutes to realize that the narrator was actually a real person very offputting and kind of annoying

Now that’s an erotic audiobook!

Wow! To me, erotica read aloud can either be a really hot experience or a really silly one, depending on whether or not it’s done well. Alicyn Aimes NAILS (no pun intended) IT. Her voice is super sexy, and her performance of this pleasure-filled book is fully committed. As for the book itself, I really enjoyed it and it’s MC’s. I’ve only recently discovered Meghan O’Brien, but she’s been a remarkable find for me. Few erotica writers bother to blend the steamy sex with well-developed characters that form a true connection the reader can care about, let alone any semblance of a plot. This book is a shining example of Ms. O’Brien’s ability to manage that blend perfectly.

Give it a second

So the story was amazing... it was! But the narrator didn’t bring it. It doesn’t mean that the writing wasn’t good cuz it was. So hot... if it was narrated by Nicol Zanzarella, I think I would have become a puddle, that’s how hot the story was. The narrator was robotic and didn’t give it the umf it needed. But that’s just my opinion what does it matter. Buy the book instead and have ur own voice version. Hot story!

Hope you like lots of sex, because that’s what this is

With a plot, too.

I like how the story started out. And the 13 hours referred to in the title are almost the best part.

The narrator didn’t have distinct voices for any of the characters, but her tone got the tone of the book. And she spoke distinctly, which is necessary for some of us.

Hot and sexy

Love it! I’ve read the book and loved it, but now the story really comes to life and OMG some hot sex scenes. The narrator really brings the story to life and makes it even better. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Hot stuff

The book was very enjoyable. However the narrator took a little getting used to as the voices of the characters were very similar and hard to differentiate. The story itself was simple in its theme but did have some unusual elements. The concept of the first meeting was different. The sex scenes long and drawn out but in a good way. I thoroughly recommend this book but definitely needs to be listened to in private. Really hot stuff.

Pure Erotica with Little Substance

Ehhhhhhhhh...

Very sexy throughout but rather idyllic. Plot was lacking in depth or real conflict - after the initial tension between Dana and Laurel is resolved this couple literally has one argument during the remainder of the book and it's resolved in like, five minutes. Worth a listen for the first half, the sex and the narrator's performance, but probably not worthy of a revisit.
