MILF: Wrong Kind of Love

By: Erin Noelle

Narrated by: Lynn Barrington

Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's summary

A story of forbidden love with a side of revenge...

When my husband of nearly twenty years abruptly left me for another woman, I thought my life was over, but I was wrong.

Wrong for thinking I was weak, wrong for assuming I couldn't go on, wrong for believing I'd never love again.

No matter what anyone else thinks, wrong never felt so right.

Only intended for listeners 18+ due to explicit sexual situations and foul language.

MILF

If you could sum up MILF: Wrong Kind of Love in three words, what would they be?

It was not what I expected. I was thinking it would be a bit more of a light hearted story. There are some laugh out loud moments because, Mia’s sister (Stella) is a riot and has no filter but it was also a bit of a tearjerker, second chance romance. I am happy for Gray and Mia at the end.

1 of the most entertaining books I've heard!

I received this audiobook from narrator Lynn Barrington in exchange for my honest review. I feel fortunate to have had this opportunity as this
was an extremely enjoyable book! This is the 1st time I've read anything
by Erin Noelle and it won't be my last!

MILF starts off with an extremely powerful prologue. My mouth literally dropped open in shock as I listened to just the first few pages! I thought this revealing prologue would be a negative since it tells the reader exactly what is going to inspire, leaving no question about whether or not the female and male main characters would or would not end up getting it on. Despite the lack of mystery, Ms. Noelle does an amazing job of building up the suspense, creating sexual tension between the characters that is so strong that it was palpable! Noelle also demonstrated that she excels at writing from a dual point of view. Instead of boring the reader by having each character share their perspective, thoughts or feelings about the same events, Noelle keeps the story progressing, having each character pick up from wherever the other character last ended narrating. The absence of repetition was refreshing and much appreciated! I was also impressed that Noelle caused me to laugh out loud at least twice while listening to this audiobook. I occasionally enjoy romantic comedies and respect those authors for making me laugh but MILF is a book filled with kick ass hot sex and emotion - it's definitely not a ROM-COM!

The majority of the time I was reluctant to put this book down yet there were a few occasions when I felt irritated by what I was reading. For example, I personally did not care for the way Gray spoke amorously in Spanish. It felt pretentious in my opinion. I personally can't imagine a 21-year-old man suddenly referring to his best friend's mom by the terms of endearment he did. Also, I would have liked to have had a bit more dialogue between the main
couple regarding the dangers of what they were doing. I also thought they should have had a discussion about whether or not they had a future together much earlier on in the story. Despite these minor irritations, the main reason why I did not give the story 5 stars was because the ending felt extremely rushed. In my opinion, the first 1/3 of this book focuses on the build up of the sexual tension between Mia and Gray. The middle of this book focuses on the months of passion and romance the couple shared as they developed a new kind of relationship together. However, the final 1/3rd of this book for me felt like a chaotic rush. Instead of giving us readers the details of what the characters endured, Ms. Noelle suddenly jumped ahead, condensing and summarizing years worth of material. I felt as though the author was in a rush to end this book.

NARRATOR PERFORMANCE:
Ms. Barrington was the perfect narrator for this book. It is obvious that Ms. Barrington is female yet she does not have that cutesy, bubblegum, cheerleader-type voice some women have. However, she doesn't have a manly, deep voice either. What she does have is a voice that is perfectly-suited for reading both female and male characters. Throughout the entire book, the narration was even keeled and appropriate to the content being read. I did notice that 3 words were mispronounced (English words; I'm not sure about some of the words said in Spanish), yet other than these minor errors, the quality of the narration was fantastic. I don't think there is another narrator out there that would have been a better fit for this book!

HATE the Title - The Book Was So Much More

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Mia is married and the mother to Adam a 20 something-year-old guy. One day her husband proclaims that he has been with someone else for years and will be filing for divorce.

Grayson is Adam's best friend and the son of the woman Mia's husband has been sleeping with (are you still following?) One evening Grayson is thrown out of his home so he goes to his best friend's house. Adam's mother, Mia, agrees to let him live there is long as he needs to.

Although they try to fight it (eyeroll) for a minute or two, Grayson and Mia cannot deny the attraction between them. The rest you can probably imagine…

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my review. I would not have looked at it on my own based solely on the title. However, it is a unique twist on the older man/younger woman plot that seems to be the norm these days. It is hot, sexy and naughty-hate the title.

I love Lynn Barrington and anything that I have heard her perform. She is what held my interest and made the story believable and not as odd as it could've been. Five stars for her narration.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this book was written by Erin Noelle and narrated by Lynn Barrington. Mia finds out that her husband is having an affair with her son’s best friend’s mother. She set out to put her life back in order. When her twenty year old son’s friend Grayson comes to live with them they try to fight the attraction they have for each other.

The narrator Lynn Barrington, did a great job, and was very easy to listen too. This is the first time I have listened to this narrator, and I am looking forward to listening to more books by her. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

This book has a hot, sweet, and great story, I am looking forward to reading more books by this author, and listening to more by this narrator.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Unbelievably Awesome

Freaking Love this book! Unbelievable twist with an amazing love story with an awesome outcome!
Lynn narrated the story like it was her own! Made you feel like you are apart of the family

When you find love right where you are ...

What did you love best about MILF: Wrong Kind of Love?

Grey's total belief in his relationship with Mia..

What about Lynn Barrington’s performance did you like?

As a fan of Ms. Barrington's I find this to be one of her best performances. She truly has the knack for this type of romance. She performs each scene honestly. With this genre of writing, the love scenes can get cheesy and uncomfortable quickly but Ms. Noelle and Ms. Barrington made each encounter worthwhile.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

At almost 8 hours long, this is a book I would recommend listening to over a few days. The chapters are set up so that you can get right back into the story with no problem. The dual point of view storytelling helps with this.

Any additional comments?

MILF: Wrong Kind of Love is the story of Mia, a late 30's divorcee and Grey, her son Adam's best friend. The attraction between them is instant but they both wonder if this is what the other wants. With Adam out of town, they have 6 weeks to see where this is going and Mia and Grey make the most of it. Is this a love that is going to last?

Due to the adult nature of this book, I recommend this to those 18+.

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.

So much more than I expected💋

I love Mia and Greyson together. This story was everything I wanted it to be. A light, easy, funny and super steamy read. Super hot sexy scenes and tender loving moments. I want more!

The only thing that could have made this better? Don't get me wrong, Lynn Barrington is fabulous and I love her, but a sexy male narrator's voice reading for Greyson...that would have been amazeballs!!❤️

Forbidden, Taboo- Give me More!

Any additional comments?

Lets just say the narration is great, it took me a while to get into the story, but Lynn Barrington's narration was exceptional and had me hooked.

This story is taboo, forbidden, and down right naughty. Now as an adult myself, older like in my 30's, Im not sure if I'd find a 20 year old attractive, but when you're in the position when that 20 year old is panty melting desirable- than maybe just maybe I would be temped just like Mia.

Mia is a recent divorced woman, when her husband leaves her for her son's best friends mom, Mia has been lonely, and she adores her son Adam, and Gray has always been part of her life, because he is Adam's best friend. Therefore, this is forbidden. One night- one touch- days of temptation.... She know's its wrong.. But is it?
I love how Mia is brought alive once more.

Erin kept us on the edge of our seat- waiting for Adam to find out- this part is the only part that i disliked- with so much drama and thrill of sneaking around- I felt shaded when they did get caught.....
Over all great fun story.

One lonely night turns into perfect fantasy.... and brings Mia alive once more.

Mother I'd Like to F*#!

This was a fun stand alone contemporary romance with lots of raunchy love scenes. It took on the topic of an older woman and a younger man falling in love and handled it well, without making it feel like either of the characters were taking advantage of the other. It was told in alternating chapters, swapping between Mia's and Grayson's perspectives. I was easily caught up in the story and hoped they could work things out.

I listened to the audio edition of this book, which I received free from Audiobook Blast in exchange for an honest review. The narrator was fantastic. She gave each character a distinct voice, spoke clearly and at a good pace.

Nothing wrong about this love!

What did you love best about MILF: Wrong Kind of Love?

The older woman/younger man trope is my favorite! I loved that there was really no hesitation on either of their sides when things began between them. Grayson was so caring towards Mia, so swoony!

What was one of the most memorable moments of MILF: Wrong Kind of Love?

When Adam walked in on Mia and Gray...can you say awkward??? And it cracked me up that Gray didn't throw some clothes on right away. But it was also so sweet, because he was more concerned with getting Mia covered.

What does Lynn Barrington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think it's the same for all audio books- a narrator can really bring the characters to life.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Probably the same as my heading for this review- There's nothing wrong with this kind of love!
