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?

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.

My Two Pennies

Hot damn, right from the beginning we're heading to The Players Club for the first time with Raina. For a woman that owns her own adult pleasures shop this experience was completely new to her and so was Logan the hot sexy alpha male that perked her interest and gave her a forever lasting experience. Clearly someone has an interest in Raina but they don't want to reveal themselves just yet but have no problem making her feel uncomfortable with messages left behind. This book is so much more then just going to a sex club, were given mystery, suspense and of course sexy scenes. I thought I figured out who our mystery person was right away and was disappointed thinking the rest of the book was going to be predictable but I was completely wrong. I absolutely loved this story from the beginning to the very end, I didn't want to say goodbye to Logan and Raina. Loved loved loved. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

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.

Loved the narrators voice

Any additional comments?

I loved the way that narrator was able to keep me invested in the story

as always excellent and erotic

I loved it finished too quickly her deciding to be his the narrator was superb

SIZZLING HOT!

This book tends to have more power exchange than other books I've read, and that is a good thing. Raina is a strong, career-minded woman with a few hang-ups about men. Logan, alpha through and through, surprisingly, does not try to "break" her, but gently brings her out of her shell. By allowing her to have control sometimes, he creates a dynamic that works for them. I found that this type of relationship is more believable, one that I would even strive for. I wish, however, that the mystery was more developed, as this would have given the story more layers. All in all, it was a very good read.

Lia Langola narrates this story wonderfully. Her character voices were spot-on. In my opinion, a good narration, especially male character voices by female narrators, can really bring another dimension to the story. Ms. Langola does this.

Everyone should have a Logan in their life!

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and voluntarily wrote this unbiased review. Lia Longola, the narrator, immediately pulled me into this story. She has a very entertaining voice and is so easy to listen to and enjoy. She gives distinctive voices to the characters. You can hear how much she loves her work.

Erika Wilde, the author, has written a powerful story that has a great plot and character development. Both Logan and Raina have been burned in previous relationships and just are looking for a one night stand. But fate will put them together so they will be given another chance for love. I love the banter between the characters. Logan likes a submissive but Raina will not go down without a challenging fight. This made me laugh many times. Both characters have a strong group of supporting friends.

I highly recommend this Audible book. The author and narrator have created a tale that I will definitely listen to again. It was so entertaining to listen to this love story evolve.

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.

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.
