Dirty

By: Megan Hart

Narrated by: Elenna Stauffer

Length: 10 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

This is what happened: I met him at the candy store. He turned and smiled at me and I was surprised enough to smile back. This was not a children's candy store, mind you, this was the kind of place you went to buy expensive imported chocolate truffles for your boss' wife because you felt guilty for having sex with him when you were both at a conference in Milwaukee.

Hypothetically speaking, of course. I've been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears. Sometimes I went home with them anyway, just because it felt good to want and be wanted, even if it was mostly fake. The problem with wanting is that it's like pouring water into a vase full of stones. It fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else.

I don't apologize for who I am or what I've done in or out of bed. I have my job, my house, and my life, and for a long time I haven't wanted anything else. Until Dan. Until now.

Pulling my hair out!!!!

This story is Boring, and TOO LONG for what its worth. Not worth the credit. Get to the point seriously already and the fact she withholds from speaking her mind baffles me for someone who is suppose to be strong, jeez. Wake me up when its over....not my cup of the tea I guess, and I am up for almost anything.

The narrator needs to go back to broadcast school. She sounded like she was cheerful the entire book and on top of that sounded like she was announcing a football game and not sounding like the character she was acting out. Then the guys voice sounded like a teenager the entire time. Here’s a tip if you’re gonna make yourself sound like a man, lower the octave a decimal or two.
Progression of the story took too long and I felt like it was ramblings that would never get to the point.

Voice

I could not get through chapter 1. The Person who narrated this book. Should never narrate another book

Avoid!

Stupid and predictable story. Did not like it at all. The voice is also annoying to listen to.

Not for me

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Not sure anything would help - Just not my type.

What character would you cut from Dirty?

all of them- not a beliveable story at all

Wasn't that good

What would have made Dirty better?

I felt like the book dragged on, it was kinda a poor reversal of 50 shades, The woman has intimate issues and strange sexual needs. It took way too long to find out Ella's secret past even though it was very predictable of what happened to her and once everything was out on the table book ended...the end. I felt like when ever the author got stuck a sex scene was thrown in and I got bored. I don't think the narrator helped, only a select few can narrate sexual scenes and make them HOT to listen to, while the majority of narrators makes sex scenes seem like a instruction manual is being read to you. This was instruction manual all the way and it broke the book for me.

Would you ever listen to anything by Megan Hart again?

Maybe, I usually will listen to at least 2 books by the same author just to gauge if I like their writting style or not.

What didn’t you like about Elenna Stauffer’s performance?

I wasn't fond of her male voices and I felt like she narrated sex scenes as if it was an instructional manual

What character would you cut from Dirty?

I don't think anyone needed to be cut, it just needed to be a stronger story line and have a better narrator.

Any additional comments?

Narrators can make or break a book. It is their job to bring characters to life and show emotions through their voices not just merely read the words from the book.

No Stars really

The narrator is horrible. The main male character sounds as though he has a sore throat and the main female character sounds like she's sixteen. Very disturbing when you have soooo much sex going on. The only thing worse than the narrator is the story itself. The author creates no reason for the listener to care about these characters. Even the descriptions of their sexual encounters leaves you saying, "So what!"

Not for Me!

ALthough I enjoyed Tempted by the same author, I just could not get into this book. If you like fluffy, I don't think you would enjoy this too much. But the absolutely worse part was the narrator. Her voice got under my skin and I couldn't enjoy it even if I wanted too!

Very, very hot but..

I have to agree with the other reviews, very hot! I'm definitely and "Elle" fan.

However, I just got bored after awhile. I really think it was the narrator, I just couldn't get past the "male" voices. If there were a different reader, I probably would have loved it!

Hated it

Do not waste your money/credit on this one.

ugh thats it

another reader that sounds like a kindergarden teacher and the guys like their balls havent dropped yet
