Flawed Perfection

By: M.A. Innes

Narrated by: Kenneth Obi

Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins

Publisher's summary

Nathan wasn't sure why people were so obsessed with dating and sex.

Sure it probably felt good, but he just couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about. It might have helped if he knew what he was looking for. But with so many labels and options, he just wasn't sure. It seemed so easy to everyone else, but to him, it felt like something was missing.

Gabriel thought Nathan was absolutely perfect. Sweet, funny, sexy, and completely confused about what he desired; but absolutely perfect. He wanted to help Nathan. Would his sexy roommate be open to something that was completely outside of the box or would Gabriel ruin their relationship before it even started?

Great story

Nathan & Gabriel are roommates. Nathan is smart guy but struggles socially. He's also a bit of a scatter brain & thrives on the boundaries that Gabriel sets for him. After overhearing a sleep talking Gabriel, Nathan begins to wonder if there could be more between the two of them.

I liked how they talked to each other about what they both wanted & made sure it was right for both of them. After years of feeling indifferent about relationships & sex, Nathan is excited & curious about what they are starting.

We are given a front row seat to their beautiful, sensual relationship. I fell in love with both of these men & their kink. Nathan's lack of filter was a great addition, it made me laugh & smile many times & I felt the love between these two men as they explored the lifestyle & each other.

I liked the addition of Eric & Marcus. I look forward to their book.

The narrator really bought them to life & made them real. I enjoyed listening to it & it added a great dimension to a great book most of the time but I will say that at times I felt that Gabriel sounded a bit detached & Nathan sometimes sounded quite juvenile. Overall I enjoyed listening to their story.

I received an audio credit from the author & chose to leave my review.

Clueless Pup, Patient Master

I absolutely love Nathan; he's a smart, lovable, and socially clueless. Gabriel can't quite figure out his new roommate, but the Master in him can't help but step in to take care of Nathan. Nathan takes to puppy play as he does with everything else - jumping right in and asking questions as they come. Gabriel is a great Dom making sure to check in with Nathan frequently, encouraging him, and knowing when to step in and when to let Nathan stand up for himself.

Kenneth Obi does a fantastic job narrating. I loved listening to Nathan's wandering thoughts and lack of filter. I loved the book first, and the audio just makes it better.

Loved it!!

Nathan has been looking for something for a long time. But he didn't know what it was. He has no filter and socially awkward. I loved him.. Gabriel who's his roommate actually fufiled what he's been looking for but it took them time to figure it out. I would love to hear more about them. I loved them so much I want more. And in a perfect world I want Aly to understand and accept him for who he is and actually listen to him and not talk above him.

Great in audio!

Would you consider the audio edition of Flawed Perfection to be better than the print version?

Yes. When I read the ebook, I gave it 4 stars, which meant that I really liked it. Hearing it performed just brought it more to life for me, and I had to add another star.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Flawed Perfection?

Nathan learning to wag his tail cracked me up. I also liked when he stood up to his so-called friends.

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

Kenneth Obi did a great job overall, but especially with Nathan. I felt like I was in his head with him as his thoughts flitted all over the place. The sexiness and innocence shone through as well.

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

It made me laugh a couple of times and smile often.

Any additional comments?

This author always provides stories that are kinky and yet really sweet. This was no exception. I enjoyed it immensely. I was provided a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

So Sweet!

If you could sum up Flawed Perfection in three words, what would they be?

Innocent
Sweet
Discovery

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

I tried to listen to it in one sitting, but life got in the way :) The narrator was able to show the innocence in Nate. His running commentary and no filter was so funny.

Nice Puppy Play Story

Very nice D/s, puppy play, 1st time, virgin story. M.A. Innes sure writes a good one.

I'd sure love to actually see that final scene... With Innes' descriptions it's easy to imagine, but damn it would make a gorgeous movie.

Something new

This book covers a topic I am not super familiar with, but somehow the author and the narrator for this book bring out the characters and make you love them while seamlessly explaining their lifestyle. I love Nathan and his lack of a filter, almost as much as Gaberiel. Loved this book!

Omg...

I really didn't know what to think of Nathan except a few words: sweet, inquisitive, and ANNOYINGLY TALKATIVE!!! I mean geez! He has such an ADHD problem that I wanted to scream! I wish we could've gotten out of his head more. It was just so exhausting to listen to. I just kept screaming "You are cute but please shut up!"

Sorry I just had to get that out my system. So Nathan completely embraces the lifestyle and jumps in head first. The personality of Nathan is little naive and very passionate but things that he wants. He is the very human version of a real puppy, I mean if the author would've said he was a real puppy then I definitely would have believed it.

Gabriel is perfect for Nathan. He is the perfect roommate, friend and Dom. I love when Gabriel would say, "One word, Oatmeal." lol. Gabriel is also be very protective and caring of Nathan. Some might misunderstand their relationship but it is just him trying to care for Nathan who wants and needs the extra attention.

I still have a few hours to go but I definitely need a drink to finish this book. Nathan is just exhausting.

Great Intro to M/M Puppy Play

This is a great way to see if something like this is for you!! Thanks!!

Puppy Play

Your kink is not my kink.

Gabriel and Nathan dare to trust each other enough to try a different spin on their relationship and discover a mutual enjoyment of kink, despite what others might think.
There’s something about puppy play that calls to me. M.A. Innes has again tackled an unusual kink with fun. And informative without it being a how-to novel.

Innes makes the critical part of this new facet of the relationship, negotiation of terms, funny and loving.

The sex is hot, the cuddling is precious, and the love is palpable.

As always, Kenneth Obi does a wonderful job bringing Nathan and Gabriel to life. He also handles Nathan’s internal ramblings – and lack of filter – with great talent.

Even if this isn’t your kink, it is a fun read.
