Playing with Temptation

By: Erika Wilde

Narrated by: Lia Langola

Length: 8 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's Summary

Temptation has never been so hot....

When Raina Beck is given an invitation to The Players Club, all she wants is a night of decadence with a gorgeous, sexy stranger. The seductive, mysterious man she meets fulfills her deepest desires and most erotic fantasies, giving her a night she'll never forget. But forgetting him isn't quite so easy.

Logan Cruz prefers his women submissive and compliant in the bedroom...everything the independent Raina is not. Yet from the first moment he lays eyes on her, he's determined to make Raina his. Despite her resistance. When Logan is assigned to protect Raina from a stalker, everything between them changes. Sex becomes more than just physical, and emotions run deep.

Falling in love was never on Raina's agenda, but can she let go of the past and surrender the one thing he wants the most...her heart?

The Players Club

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Playing with Temptation is a good listen . Raina the owner of an adult toy store has never had much luck with men. Jillian, one of her closest friends decides Raina is long overdue for a night of fantasy and has the invitation needed for just such a night. Raina visits The Players Club and a night to remember. There she meets Logan but leaves before they exchange names figuring she will never see him again. But that is just the start of the story.

WOW!!! What a story!

I have read a few books by Erika Wilde before, so I know I enjoy her writing style. Lia Langola is an incredibly talented narrator. She added so much more to the book than just reading would have given. I haven't had much experience with BDSM things, and found part of this book almost educational in an interesting way and the descriptions given gave appeal. There is light bondage, spanking, and discipline play. (The submission in bdsm goes against my grain). I thought the author did a great job with the character development and also had some unexpected twists in addition to hot sex. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher. This book is a standalone book and does not end in a cliffhanger. I liked most of the characters in this book and think it will be interesting to see who is center stage in the next book in this series.

Better than I expected

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes. Based off of the books my friends like, I think they would really enjoy this.

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

Lia Langola does a terrific job as a narrator. She keeps you engaged in the story. Some elements of this book did not appeal to me but the narrator did such a good job, that it overshadowed those things.

Any additional comments?

I did like this book. Im not a fan of d/s relationships but this was a minor blip in this story. I really liked the connection between the hero and heroine. Raina was hurt before and reluctant to give up any control to Logan but he was willing to wait for her to be ready. I think the who done it plot was kind of obvious but since it was just a trope to bring the hero and heroine together I was ok with it. Overall a good listen and worth a credit.

Oh man

This series has been fabulous! I can't wait to read more- I love the characters these books gravitate around. They are so relate-able and fun to read about. I would love to read more on the Players club! Great book~

Narration is awesome! Lia does a great job of acting- not just reading. The narration is very entertaining and pleasant to listen to. Lia's voice is perfect for audiobooks! You can tell she really loves whats she does.

I want a body guard like Logan!!

This book ties into the Marriage Diaries with the mention of the main couple. But after that transition, this is a stand alone book. Jillian invites Raina to the Players club. She books up with Logan thinking she will never see him again. But as all good stories go......Logan is assigned to protect her. They have a fast and heated relationship. Logan is patient and understanding of Raina and her hesitations. Raina wants so much to be with Logan but her past keeps her at a distance. I really enjoyed how sweet yet hot these two could be. I loved the patience and understanding Logan had for Raina. It was his understanding that helped Raina let go.

Lia Langola is such a wonderful narrator. Her voice is soothing and easy to listen to. She is the narrator for the Marriage Diaries as well, and never once did she use the same voice for the same character. Ms Langola truly brings the characters to life. I really enjoyed the story more because of her narration.

Great as a Stand-Alone or in the Series

Any additional comments?

This book is written with a great mixture of wit, humor, smexy scenes and angst. Narration is perfect and keeps you wanting more. If you listen to just one of theses books in this series you will get so hooked that you will want more. I purchased all the ebooks and audible upgrades in the series and loved them just as much. I highly recommend this series, author and narrator.

Great audio! Lia's voice perfect for the sexy story!

This was my first book by Erika Wilde. I'm a huge fan of audios, so was excited to have this introduction to her. Raina & Logan's chemistry was off the charts. Loved how they met. I look forward to the rest of The Players Club series. Love that it can be read as standalone too. Lia's narration was perfect!

No cliffy, thumbs up!

I think this was a light bdsm story, the narrator did make the characters come to life. I really liked. You can listen to it without the pressure of a cliffhanger, it's a standalone.

Good story line but....

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The story itself was very enjoyable but unfortunately the narrator was very flat with no inflection.
