When their mission takes them to a foreign land, they reluctantly leave their love behind, promising to return for her one day.

After her lovers disappeared, Jessa Wade bravely moves on with her life, protecting her secret.

hot hot hot

I absolutely loved this story it was every girls fantasy! it's a must read! this author is one of the best hands down.

Better if longer

The book was really good but would of been better if it's was longer. Way to short form me.

Need a male narrator

Where does Their Virgin's Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I listen to a great many audio books and on a scale of 1-10 this would rank about a 4 1/2 only because the narrator just didn't pull you into the story. When reading the heroes lines, it sounded very corny at times. This narrator would be great for a book that is written from a female character's point of view, but definitely not a male's- especially an alpha male.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cole, because he is the lost one until he meets Jessa.

How could the performance have been better?

A male narrator! There are a lot of great ones out there and I really wished one had been used.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, I had an extreme reaction- disappointment! I liked the story, just not the way it was delivered. I like Shayla Black's books but this one could have been narrated so much better.

Any additional comments?

Please use a male narrator for any other books that have strong male characters. Serena Daniels is a good narrator but I think she'd be better sticking to just female characters. I listened to this book before the 1st book in the series and now I'm not so sure I want to buy and listen to the 1st book since it is narrated by the same person.

Hot and Steamy!

This was a fantasy reading for me. Great narrative loved the storyline between the brothers falling in love with one female woman Jessica . They shared everything! Would like a follow up on their married life . Good reading

Shayla & Lexi!

I love the collaboration between these two authors. Their stories are always an amazing balance between heartfelt and hot, hot, hot. 💝 🔥
This book has some decent suspense to move
It along, and a betrayal of trust the characters have to overcome.

This was one of Shayla & Lexi’s first collaborations, at a time when RH fiction was considered pretty taboo. I applaud the writers for their confidence and bravery.

This is a single narrator book, because it’s written in third person. If this upsets you, please do not rate the authors unfairly because you weren’t paying attention to the publication date when you bought this audiobook. The book was published in 2011, and the audiobook was produced in 2013. Dual POV was not a thing then. All the audiobooks produced in that era were single narrator, and this narrator did a fabulous job.

Highly recommend!

Good read

I guess I read too many of the books in this series to the point where the plot is so predictable. The thing I wasn't too found of the back and forth with the past and present story line.

Fan

I enjoyed the story line, it with 2 sexy men and a virgin made for a great story. Hot and steamy.
Just not a fan of alternating between past and present throughout the story. I don’t mind referring to the past but I prefer that it all be done all at once and then move into the present. Maybe it can be done to refer to a specific issues. I would get little loss going back and forth.
The last chapter was worth the wait and can’t wait for the next book.
The author is great and the narrator is good just wish it had a male voice to go with the book.

NOT MY FAVORITE SHAYLA / LEXI

Any additional comments?

The narrator was not very good at doing different voices or her emotions. I felt there was too much inner turmoil being voiced by the characters...some of them over and over throughout the book. I got to the point where I just wanted to scream if I heard it one more time. I love Shayla Black, however, I think this one was "phoned in"... I know you can do better...so I will be waiting for your next book!!!

Jessa was annoying

I liked the guys but hated how the character of Jessa was so ridiculously unforgiving and bitchy.
They helped so many people and she only thought about herself.

Confused, but pleased:

After reading the reviews left by previous listeners, I was hesitant to download this story. Although I usually find reviews a very reliable source, I was glad that I did not let the few poor reviews of character development and narrator performance dissuade me from continuing with this series. Both the authors and the narrator dif a super job bringing this story to life. Definitely a worthwhile listen.
