A Very Filthy Game

By: L. Blakely

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Shane East

A sinfully sexy MM romance narrated in duet by Shane East and Joe Arden!

Lately, I’ve been full of questions. One hot summer night, I find all the answers when I kiss another guy for the first time. But he disappears, leaving me wondering who my mystery man was.

I can’t stop thinking about him. Even on the ball field, I’m daydreaming about his hungry hands, and the filthy things he whispered in his posh British accent.

Somehow, I still win one of the biggest games of my career, and afterward, the man surprises me with an invitation: “Meet me in a private suite.”

When I RSVP, he makes me an offer–one chance to try all the things I’ve never experienced. Then we’ll walk away. But once will never be enough.

Soon I’m locked into an intense lessons-in-seduction game with the secretive billionaire who keeps love at a distance, all while he pushes the boundaries of my brand-new desires.

Then, I learn that all my desires come with a terrible cost, as he breaks down the walls around my heart.

5 STARS! Sexy & swoony billionaire/athlete MM romance!

Lauren Blakely set the pages on fire in A Very Filthy Game. An athlete just coming into his sexuality and a billionaire confident in his, Gunnar and Rafe are engulfed in an inferno of attraction from the moment their eyes meet for the first time. Gunnar is looking to explore this newly discovered side of himself, and Rafe is the man he wants to show him the way. Neither is looking for a relationship when things start between them, but they’re connecting on more than just a sexual level. When you add in some professional entanglements, things get complicated.

I listened to the audiobook version of A Very Filthy Game, and Shane East and Joe Arden were perfection. Shane East brought the British billionaire, Rafe, to life with his smooth-as-silk voice, and Joe Arden’s performance as Gunnar was a consuming blend of vulnerable and cocky. As heart-racing as it was heart-tugging, this was a complex, hard-fought love story full of first-times, fiery chemistry and swoony heroes. An absolutely addictive read, I burned through two pairs of Air Pods listening to this book! Five smooches from me for A Very Filthy Game by Lauren Blakely!

Hot Hot Hot!

Wow. This one is top tier. Might be my new fav Lauren Blakely book, but I say that about all her MM books because they are all epic. This one is Strangers to lovers, with a little age gap. The pro ball player and the underwear designer get together with so much chemistry, heat, and banter. Virgin hero and some exhibition kink as the cherry on top. Loved this one! As usual the narrators are amazing at bringing the characters to life!

As good as we knew it'd be

this long version is so good. well written and a lot more needed detail. the narration is so good, Shane East and Joe Arden are a great team. nice snip it of the next book can't wait for it. love a sports romance, this is the book for you. first time with a man, its here too. instant love and the HEA we all look forward to. its definitely as good as we knew it'd be.

Perfect, as always

As always, Lauren Blakely has written a masterpiece, one that made going to sleep at night a challenge. A Very Filthy Game was sexy as hell, but had an enjoyable plot/storyline, as well. I absolutely loved it.

Joe Arden and Shane East absolutely killed it, giving life to their characters in a way that kept me thoroughly invested. Standing ovation to them both.

NARRATION PERFECTION!!

I will seriously listen to ANYTHING either one of these gentlemen perform. And it was truly a performance, NOT just a reading!

Bonus that it was one of the writings by Lauren.
