A Very Bad Girl

By: Maggie Carpenter

Narrated by: Denver Adams

Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's summary

She's been a very bad girl. Now, she needs to be punished....

Steph Grady had to be taught a lesson.

She needed to learn the hard way that bad girls who spy on men like me don't just get spanked. They get taken roughly and shamefully, with every climax more overwhelming than the one before.

When I'm finished with her, she won't just be begging for mercy and for more at the same time.

She'll be mine.

She needs to be.

There's no one else able to keep her safe.

A Very Good Listen….

I liked everything about this except I found myself wanting a female voice for Steph (the lead female) although Denver did “A Very” good job, for me it would have been the cherry on top 😃 Great mix of all emotions, strong believable female, mystery, BDSM, love and growth - not too much of anything. Well worth your time, enjoy!

Very good story

I like Steph and Marco story line. Steph personality is act first asked questions later. I’d like the fact that it gets her into some sticky situations and because of that Marco gives her punishment she deserves

Becoming an Asset

OK, so this is supposed to be all dark and dirty, and it is, but I also found myself highly amused in certain places, such as the beginning. Perhaps I was simply in the everything- entertains-me mood. Either way, I did like this spanking good time!

Stephanie "Steph" Grady / Stephania Grassi is definitely of the mischievous variety. She's cute, impetuous, and constantly landing herself with a hot seat. 🤚🍑🔥 Her heart is in the right place, which keeps things exciting between her and Marco, even when she's disobeying him.

As for Marco Moretti, well, I'd happily let him dominate me. A smooth operator who knows his way around the BDSM world, in addition to his other pursuits. His business is not exactly on the up-and-up, but that bit of danger just makes him more appealing.

In addition to how he operates on a personal level with Steph, I like that he looks to unconventional methods to handle business. The twists and turns in this story, which don't stop until the end, allow his strengths in this area to shine. I love how things were laid out.

I was gifted a copy of the audio book. The narrator, Denver Adams, is new to me. I love him as Marco, but I do wish there was a female actor for Steph.

Marco Moretti and Steph Grady

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

A Very Bad Girl by Maggie Carpenter. KU borrow. ALC audiobook. Multiple POV. Standalone. Narrator Denver Adams read well and was easy to understand. Content warnings: sp@nk¡ng; BDSM club; bl¡ndfold; @n@l; the FMC is infant¡l¡zed; p¡n¡ch¡ng

Marco Moretti (aka Sir/Master) is a mafia boss, an uncle to his sister's two sons (23 and 25 years old), an FBI informant, and very private. Stephania Grassi (25; aka Steph Grady) is supposedly a photojournalist. At her father's request, she's been advised and protected by Max since she was a teenager. The story was very fast paced and in the end Marco and Steph are engaged. JP

3 out of 5 on my spice scale

Bad Girl

Mafia romances aren’t known to be on the sweet side, but I felt the female main character got such a raw deal in life. Her father kept telling her how smart she is, but because she’s a girl he wouldn’t allow her to live up to her full potential. Fast forward and she ends up with a mafia Dom who keeps stifling her ingenuity.

Sex scenes were hot 🥵 🔥 and there is a HEA, but I feel like she’s settling when she could be so much more and with someone who could appreciate it all.

A Rery Bad Girl

I really enjoyed this it had good characterizations a compelling storyline it was enthralling it had a touch of suspense and very hot Naughty dark delicious BDSM sex, a broody Dom, strong female heroine/sub I gobbled this story right up I loved it !!!!

Denver did such a fantastic job with this he narrated this story beautifully.

Super Hot

I really enjoyed this audiobook. Stephanie has been stalking Marco trying to get his picture. She is caught by Marco and taught what it means to be his submissive. Their relationship becomes romantic. There are many steamy scenes. There is a mystery they solve together. Denver Adams did a great job with the narration.

Redhat queen

This book was very well written. I enjoyed the characters. I’m glad that Stephanie and Marco were meant for each other. There was a lot of action in this book. Great narrator. You could’ve had a female voice for Stephanie.
