Publisher's summary

On the surface, my new boyfriend is a stiff, buttoned-up architect. He plans every detail of his life while carefully maintaining the walls he’s built around his heart. But when the biggest project of his career pulls him away, Clay’s solution is both temporary and unconventional. It even comes with a name—Travis.

This handsome stranger is sweet and thoughtful. He’s only meant to be a stand-in, to fulfill my needs under Clay’s watchful direction, yet these two men couldn’t be more different. The one thing they share? Well, I guess that would be me.

One gets off on my pain, the other on my pleasure, and it awakens a desire none of us knew existed. But it can’t last.

Eventually I’ll have to choose.

And it’s going to destroy us all.

I absolutely loved this book!

I know this is the 3rd book in the series, but it's the first one I've read/listened to and now I want to go back and start at the beginning. This was super hot! The hottest book I've ever read will probably always be A Very Filthy Game, but this one is a close second. I loved all the scenes and how their relationship dynamic grew throughout the book. This was just a good frikkin time! Definitely recommend!

Read if you love voyeurism!

I thought the narration was excellent on this one! It is told in Duel narration.

If you are a big fan of the Voyeurism kink, then this book is a wet dream for you! I have to give this story points for its uniqueness. I have never read a book where a lover, "scenes" with their partner, through a surrogate lover.

There is not a great deal of plot in this story. However, if you are looking for an easy read, that is spice heavy and love BDSM with a touch of Poly, this is great! Really, the plot centers around the spice and the exploration of BDSM.

I found the characters likable. I also really appreciated that Clay is not only an architect as a career, but as stated in the story, he is truly the architect of the relationship between himself, Lilith, and Travis.

I was originally going to give this story a 3.75 or 4. However, I came close to DNF'n this book. I really HATE cheating IRL and in my fiction. I know that Clay does not blame Lilith or Travis for what happens, but what they did was cheating. This really put a damper on the story for me
unfortunately.

Also, just as an added pet peeve. DVP with no lube... SPIT is not LUBE. This drives me crazy. Safe sex includes proper prep.

Try and keep a Straight face I dare you.

Not only does this book address bdsm in a healthy way, it also addresses nontraditional Relationship styles.

Besides that it will have you blushing in public. 10/10

Hot 🔥

This book is the epitome of steamy. So good, fast paced, and the perfect ending. Just a fair warning, the smut is the plot, but imo not only is that okay it is sometimes just flat out the goal. The performer could have been more expressive, but all in all I will definitely be recommending this book to others and utilizing it for a few relistens.

WOWZA THAT'S SPICY! Great Performances!

This was by far the spiciest audiobook I've ever listened to! 5 peppers!

This was my first time hearing narrators Angelina Rocca and Brennan Landry and they did a fantastic job with the spice and bringing the characters to life. The audio was done in duet style and the story is in the female POV. I look forward to hearing more from both of these narrators! Angelina has a voice that I could listen to ALL DAY- sexy and sultry. Brennan has that soft spoken, almost whispering, yet dominate tone that fit this story perfectly.

The book is an exploration into dom/sub relationships, BDSM, and polyamory. Let's just say it's VERY educational. If you are looking for a deep, emotional plot, this isn't for you. If you want a fun, sexy story- heavy on spice- this is IT!

Just…wow

When the story dove in head first, I thought it was too much too soon. But I was very wrong. Thank you Sloane for the different storyline rhythm and intensity, and thank you to Angelina and Brennan for such wonderfully believable voices.
