Publisher's summary

I’m living a double life.

During the day, I help women gain their confidence and look their best.

On the weekends, I encourage women to embrace their sexuality on the darker side of the web.

After all, sex is beauty.

When my older brother’s best friend appears at my family’s cabin the night I’m filming an episode, I’m surprised to see him. It’s been six years since Reed vanished from my life.

After learning where he’s been and why, I offer him an opportunity to start over. Reed is reluctant. He’s on probation, loyal to my brother, and doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize his freedom.

So we agree that his identity will remain a secret and that my brother will never find out.

This was so good!!

Tell Me What You Want is a forbidden romance, brother's best friend, forced proximity and age gap. This was so much fun and the spice was delicious!! Lucia Franco never disappoints. Vanessa and Reed's chemistry was omg so good, I loved them together. I also loved all the banter between Noah & Ivy so much fun.

I highly recommend the audio, Lidia Dornet and Sebastian York did an amazing job narrating this.

HOLY SPICE BATMAN

Y'all it takes a lot to see my blush but this book MAN OH MAN did it do that. Lucia knows how to write spice and write it well. I LOVE that the FMC is so strong and bold. She knows what she wants and she ain't afraid to go after it. She confident and comfortable with the women she is and she wont apologize for anything she does. HERE FOR THAT ENERGY. The narrators did really well and their voices sounded just how i imagined they would.

if you are looking for a SPICY audiobook that'll leave you blushing with a STRONG FMC and a MMC that dotes on her.
this. is. for. you.

A low angst, super spicy romance by Lucia?! Say less!

Hello! If you want something SUPER SPICY and fast-paced, I got an audiobook rec for you!

4.25⭐, 4🌶️

Lucia Franco wrote a standalone brother's best friend romance with an 11 year age gap! Forced proximity with just a touch of angst, we Vanessa is a cam girl who runs into her brother's best friend, Reed, who's living at her and her brother's cabin after being released from prison. Vanessa is interested in their chemistry that they explored one night before he was incarcerated, and now that he's back, there's a whole lot of sexual chemistry between the two to explore, both on and off camera. But what could happen if her protective older brother found out about their relationship, and the risqué material the two are making together?

This was mostly a spicy romance, and when it wasn't spicy, the plot was fully centered on the romantic relationship. I loved that this is different from L.F. regular work that its way less angsty and fast paced. However, in typical Brothers Best Friend's romance, I just didn't like or understand why big bro was so against this relationship. Once we learn how Reed went to prison, you'd really think the brother would be his BIGGEST fan.

my first Lucia Franco book!

I have not read true taboo in a while so this was a nice change of pace. I don’t want to give away too much of the story line but the brother’s best friend trope always does it for me. The story was very believable without any unnecessary conflict which I do not like a lot of the times.

I definitely recommend. Especially on audio. It was HOT.

too long

this book started out great! lots of delicious sex! but then it just got slow and sappy.

Fun & Spicy

I very much enjoyed this audiobook!

Tell Me What You Want is a brother's best friend romance that really brings the spice. Reed and Vanessa were so fun to read about from them seeing each other again for the first time in years to everything these two get up to at the cabin. Reed is fresh out of prison and just ready to get on with is life until Vanessa throws a wrench in his plans. I love how protective he gets over her.

I love that Lucia's heroines are so unapologetically themselves and Vanessa was definitely like that. She owned who she was and that made her such a lovable character.

Sebastian York & Lidia Dornet did such an amazing job with this audio. They are two favorite narrators of mine and they really brought this story to life. Sebastian is so great as that possessive, protective hero character. I can't get enough of it! Definitely give this audio a listen!

Unexpected but so good

5/5⭐️ 4/5🌶️ 5/5🎧
I go into most of my books blind and this one took me by surprise. I recently read Off Balance by Lucia Franco and decided I’m going through her backlog. So when I saw this audio, I had to listen. It. Was. Spoicy. So so spicy. I loved how unapologetic and carefree Vanessa was. She’s my spirit animal. And Reed was a total dominant smoke show. Their chemistry was explosive. I loved it. Then add in the taboo/brothers best friend aspect…I’m a goner.

Forbidden Lucia romance

A spicy, forbidden novel by Lucia—of course, she nailed it LOL

This book was spicy right from the get go, it had me blushing—in fact, I actually had to pause it because I was working and I couldn’t focus on the audio lol!!

I loved Vanessa, she was a fierce FMC with an unapologetic attitude which was so refreshing! Her friendship with Ivy was so fun and perfect.

Reed is just out of prison and while he has that bad boy vibe, he has a soft, intimate side and falls fast for Vanessa.

I wish the tension in the beginning would have lasted a bit longer but it was still delicious to listen to! Sebastian York is always a delight to listen to and Lidia Dornet is quickly becoming a fave narrator of mine!

Age gap & brother's best friend? Say less!

“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒘, 𝑹𝒆𝒆𝒅. 𝑾𝒆’𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓’𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕. 𝑰𝒇 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏, 𝒘𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉 𝒈𝒐 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏.”

Well this was definitely an aural pleasure I was not expecting at all! If you’re looking for a VERY spicy, fun, forbidden, low angst read, then this book is everything your little heart could desire.

Vanessa is a makeup beauty influencer by day, and a cam girl by night. Living a double life has her escaping to her family’s cabin on the weekends to record her secret film sessions, and is surprised to find someone else staying at the cabin. Her brother’s best friend Reed. The man she hasn’t seen in six years, the man she’s secretly had a crush on, the man who went to prison and has been recently released and trying to get his life back on track.

The tension between these two was built years ago, and picked right back up as if no time has passed. Reed was originally leery of Vanessa’s job as a cam girl, but once he realized the money she was bringing in and how much the two of them could make together, all bets were off. Once the sparks were ignited, it burned to delicious proportions. The chemistry was fire, and the scenes were an endless amount of fireworks.

Sebastian York and Lidia Dornet did a wonderful job bringing these characters to life, especially those intense spicy scenes! Their narration will leave you blushing, needing to cool off with a cold shower, and potentially having to replace your Kindle from all the heat. Lidia portrayed Vanessa’s confidence and sultriness impeccably. Sebastian delivered Reed’s hidden cinnamon roll persona behind his bad boy exterior perfectly. And these two together was a powerhouse performance!

Forbidden, age gap, brother’s best friend!

3.5 stars! Tell Me What You Want is a forbidden, erotica romance with age gap, forced proximity, and brother’s best friend! This was my first time reading this author and since I went in knowing this was more erotica, I feel like my expectations were met and it was just a fun time!

Vanessa is a beauty influencer by day, and a cam girl by night! One night she’s headed to her family’s cabin, where she secretly films her cam sessions, and is surprised when someone else is there. She finds Reed there instead, her brother’s best friend who she hasn’t seen in years. Reed is recently out of prison and staying at the cabin for a while as he gets his life figured out. Vanessa has always wanted Reed, they even have a bit of a steamy history, and the heat between them cranks up fast when they find themselves in the same place!

Knowing this was erotica more than anything, I feel like I wasn’t looking for an extensive plot, so I also wasn’t surprised that they hop into the sheets together quickly. Not to say there isn’t a plot or feelings coming into play in the story, especially with the last half. The voyeurism and cam girl action was fun! There is tension and complications once her brother finds out about them together, as well as about Vanessa’s cam girl work. Her brother became her guardian when she was a teen, so he definitely has strong feelings about Vanessa and Reed together. While Vanessa wasn’t always my cup of tea, she felt a bit over the top, in the end I think her and Reed are a good match for one another.

I received an audio ALC from Forever and Always PR, all thoughts in this review are my own.
