Sex, Not Love

By: Vi Keeland

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Andi Arndt

Length: 8 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's Summary

From number one New York Times best seller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards.

We met at a wedding - him sitting on the groom’s side, me sitting on the bride’s. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction.

I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should’ve turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me.

We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number.

I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I’d sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends’ baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother’s - she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage - and flew back home.

I’d thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom’s house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems.

Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose?

Nothing, I thought.

It’s just sex, not love.

But you know what they say about the best laid plans…

WELL.. IF THE NAMES DON'T WOW YOU THE PLOT WILL

With Vi Keeland, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York you know it's going to be good.. but this story wasn't just good it was great.. with a perfectly paced smooth storyline that spanned time before the inevitable (and much anticipated) HEA ending.

No strings Hunter was a drool-worthy, dirty-talking sexy hero who met the 'once burned never again' Natalia and together they had one sexy night together.. but in the morning one wanted more and one was gone.. and it took over a year before they were reunited. Persistence, determination and sizzling chemistry eventually paid off and it made a very nice sweet listen with good banter, fun times, great characters and a good balance of sex, romance and story.

Worth a credit? A great 'sex no strings' sweet sexy plot that spectacularly backfires on both hero and heroine, a charming cocky hero who'll steal your heart, on point dual POV narration.. and YES definitely creditworthy.

Just WOW!!!!!!!

I adore Vi Keeland and her amazing stories... this one hit it out of the ballpark for me. I stayed up all night to finish it since I couldn’t put it down. It was perfect from beginning to end. Hunter is so damn sexy and panty melting hot with his dirty talk and his swoon worthy looks. Not to mentioning all the feels and the emotions he depicts for the people that he loves. The story was sad at times but the ending was just perfect. By the end of the book I felt Hunter and Natalia were actual living people who will live on to live very happy and orgasmic lives together....and that tells me that this book will be one of the best for 2018! Read it you will not regret it!!!!

Five star read!

Loved this book! I've been in a reading slump for a few weeks now and this was just what I needed. A hero with a dirty mouth always puts me in a good mood! Their angst was just enough to where it wasn't annoying. I loved that the heroine called the hero out on his bs. I can't believe this was my first Vi Keeland book. If her others are this good, she's bound to be a one click author for me!

Loved this Book!!

I loved that the story was not predictable. The characters were very relatable. I also love the narration. I highly recommend this book if you like romance.

Fantastic listen!

There is no better combo than Keeland, Arndt and York. I could not turn this audio off and kept thinking about the characters. Best Narraters I have ever listen to. Thank you Vi Keeland for another fantastic story!!

Terrible all around

This might be a very specific micro-genre and maybe it is a good example of that. But if you like a reasonably well written romance, and somehow found yourself here, run. The writing is terrible, with no sense of context at all. Very much has the feel of an editor saying we need this and this and this, and a writer stringing these random things together. It is not sexy-- And it is not even plausible. Leaving aside things like this 32 year old woman having a fifteen year old step-daughter who her love interest becomes immediately cozy with (to all the single moms out there-- if your potential lover's first date is to eagerly watch highschool girls play basketball-- eject immediately). Leave aside that though they supposedly live in Manhattan they describe the most suburban of existences (driving everywhere-- NO ONE DRIVES IN MANHATTAN), trips to the mall (again, not a part of city life). We literally are never told what the woman looks like or what she is wearing, what her surroundings look like. We have very little sense of what her work is although it is so important to her. It is never acknowledged that her ex-husband's betrayal of her was nothing cmopared to his betrayal of his motherless daughter who now has to live with a young stepmother because the dad is in jail. Add to this that the much referred to in blurbs "dirty talk" is him saying "Do you like anal sex, because I'd like to tap that ass." That's just gross, that's not sexy.

Slow burn great love story

it was a lot of back and forth and a slow burn but a great love story.

Loved it

I thought this was an amazing storyline it kept your emotions running on high. I loved the humor compassion and trustworthiness of this book. I cried and laughed.

made it through

not a rom-com really. no giggles or smiles. another book with the female narrator doing 3/4 of the reading. the parts read by SY were mostly about his first girlfriend many years ago. all in all disappointing. peace

Love not Sex

I have been devouring Vi Keeland books for the past few weeks. There is just something about her writing style that satisfies my need for romantic genre reading.

May be some minor spoilers***

So...this one was not one of my favorites. The pacing was off and I wasn't a huge fan of Nat. Also, Hunter worked way too hard to get Nat only to not want to be with her? There was so much effort and so much attitude/negativity from her to endure, for him to give up and be like "that was fun, gotta go". I get it. She had been hurt, men were jerks, and so on. But really? She played way too hard for me. I actually liked the relationship Hunter had with all the other female characters in the book. Even his ex. His character's personality helped me finish the book! He had incredible patience with Nat and I don't know if she deserved him. The epilogue was ok, I guess. She was still kind of meh and I don't know... lacking affection? Hard to pinpoint my disdain for her character. The reveal for his standoffish vibes were way more understandable and meaningful than hers.

But, Andi is amazing! She is one of my favorite narrators. She sounds so normal. Not whiny or breathy. Sebastian is great, too.

Another Great Book by Vi Keeland

When Vi Keeland writes something you know that it's going to be good and this was no exception.

It was a fun, sexy and emotional story with enough angst to make this a pretty much perfect listen.

Andi Arndt and Sebastian York did an amazing job narrating as usual.

Can't wait to read Vi Keeland's next book.

Wow!!

Not as good as other stories by this author

I love Vi Keeland novels ..but didn't enjoy this story as much as others I have listened to by her. The narrators are excellent as always though.

Must listen

The best book I’ve listened to in 2019.

Obsessed, I completely full in love with this book and listened to the entire book over 2 days.

Better than the title suggests

Touched on some very sensitive topics, very well written and narrated.
Loved it, definitely worth it.
