His Demands

Billionaire Alpha, Book 1

De: Ali Parker

Narrado por: Joe Arden

From best-selling author Ali Parker comes a billionaire alpha romance series that is sure to leave you fanning yourself and begging for more.

His wants. His needs. His demands. Your pleasure. You're welcome.

Bethany had one more year of school left, and once again, poverty struck hard. The only option would be to encourage her mother to marry her new boyfriend Kent, a billionaire tycoon in the world of accounting. Mom is more than happy to move the wedding date up, and Bethany's soon-to-be-stepfather is willing to pay for her schooling - on one condition: she works for his firm as an intern throughout the next year.

She agrees without hesitation, but little does she know that Kent's oldest son, Damon, is the CFO. Dark features and a stare that would melt panties, he's everything one might imagine of a billionaire's spoiled alpha son, her new boss. Her billionaire boss plays lots of games and though she hates herself for it, Bethany is more than yearning for the chance to fulfill his needs.

18+ for explicit sexual content, language, and possible violence.

A HOT BUT DISAPPOINTING STORY OF LUST v LOVE

Sadly I'm a little bit torn with this listen.. the premise of the story was good - a hot sexy Alpha Billionaire CEO boss and soon to be step-brother gets tamed by his new Intern/future step-sister all sounded good. But Bethany's constant insecurities and immature behaviour wore me down a bit.. she was an intelligent woman yet all that was going through her head was Damon this.. Damon that.. Damon Damon Damon. And I'm usually ok with 'insta' anything however I just thought Bethany's declaration of love for a man whose emotions were so closed off, promised sex but absolutely no commitments, was a shameless womanizer and after such a short time of brief encounters was all just too unreal. Professionally speaking punching a couple-worker in the face and breaking her nose for a bitchy comment was also pretty unrealistic.. even if the thought crosses your mind.

However, I battled on but I found myself picking more holes in the story.. like there was no discussion of safe sex or contraception before they went skin to skin for their many sexcapades. Bethany manipulated her loving Mom to marry early because of her own need for financial help then hid feelings and lied to her whenever just wasn't a nice character trait. So I didn't really like, and couldn't connect with, Bethany nor could I buy into the story of true love when Damon was being such an ass to her. Damon was all kinds of hot.. a dirty talking sexy alpha who demands (and delivers) a lot when it comes to sex but has commitment issues after his Mom's many infidelities and lies. And there are various secondary characters who are weaved in and out of the storyline to threaten or support the fragile balance of Bethany and Damon's relationship. Parts were well detailed and yet there were gaping gaps in information too.. but the unexpected CLIFFHANGER ending topped my peeves as their story will continue for at least four more books. Told from Bethany's POV by a good narrator.

Worth a credit? Sorry but I'm on the fence with this one.. if the series was boxed sets then maybe yes but then again I think of the heroine's immature actions and I think He'll no. I'm also not emotionally drawn into the story enough to be spending 4 or 5 more credits on it when there are far better stories out there waiting to be heard. But hey we're all different right and just because I didn't fall in love.. you just might.

Steamy, Complex, a Good Love Story

A peek into the world of young professionals who take a chance on love. One has everything materially, the other has nothing but pure ambition to make it on her own. They seem to find a way to build a bridge in-spite of their differences.

needs a female narrator

Is it just me or does anyone else find it odd that a man is narrating from the point of view of a woman.

His Demands

I really enjoyed this book/series. I don’t like books that follow a canned plot(which you see so much of nowadays). This one definitely doesn’t follow that format. I agree with other reviewers that have said the “insta love” of the heroine is a bit much. He is a pretty big ass and I wanted her to stand up to him and grow a backbone (but that comes later). Stick with the series, you’ll be happy you did. I love listening to Joe Arden, he is a great narrator, but I think this series needed both a male and female narrator, so much of it is in Bethanys POV

good listen

I was hooked honestly this was so good I couldn't stop listening my heart jumped a few times but the end was a total surprise

Fun story- narrator is ok

This was a fun little read on audiobook, story was good, the narrator was decent at sometimes, and sound robotic at others, kind of hit and miss for audio.

I liked it!

Not bad. Wish the lead female had a little more confidence. Always love a hot, strong, sexy alpha male. I think they have chemistry.

Love story

The great story that two people can find love. They way they talk about love and find love and learn to trust and be faithful to each other.

So spicy!! Obsessed!!!

Definitely my favorite book so far!!! So good, currently on book 2!!! Can’t seem to turn it off!

Liked it but could have been better

I liked the story and I love Joe Arden. But the third person narration and guy doing a women’s point of view was a bit strange. Think it would have been better in first person with make and female narrators. But at least have a female narrator if it’s told from women’s point of view.
