Publisher's summary

People say I'm shameless. They're right.

I like my sex dirty. It takes a hell of a lot to tilt my moral compass, and I always follow when it's pointing at something I want. That goes double when it points straight at the one girl in all of Chicago who's not dying for a piece of me.

She's all I can think about, and that's a problem, because she wants nothing to do with me. But I've seen her deepest secrets, her darkest fantasies, and they match mine to a fucking T.

I want her. Bad.

Now I need to show her how good it can feel...to be shameless.

Contains mature themes.

So good!!

Such a great, quick read. It was a steamy ,fun romance that was just what I needed for a quicky read. (No pun intended, but it works) 😉
I loved the sweet story of falling in love after a very interesting meet cute,and who doesn't love some good ole' hot dirty talk.....!!!

Shamelessly surprised

Loved it from chapter one. And Aiden Snows narrating was sinfully wonderful. Would listen to again!

Eh. I guess.

Aiden Snow is a narrator I could never get enough of. This storyline tho… it leaves something to be desired. I mean, I thought it would get better - as in, the MMC would grow up of his own volition - howeverrrrrrr, it takes a 23yo to be like “You’ve got it made, dude. I wish I was you!” For him to figure himself out. And then he’s forgiven with nary a grovel in sight. How sway.

The storyline

I loved this ! Executed perfectly ! Gina’s pen is definitely magical and this will be added to the collection of Gina favorites.

Spicy

Love the male narrator but the female narrator sounds like she’s on a permanent high strung stress level - sounds forced. Just my opinion

love the steam

I loved this book? however only thing that daved it for me was Aiden. The female narrator was not the right person for this story.

The story is awesome!

I love the characters and the story and I can relate to both! Thank you Ms. Gina for a book that touched me unlike the many others have not. I read alot of books and most characters don't always fit to the story somehow and this one was perfect. thank you and I will be reading the rest of your books now.

Gina... aka Wyld

Shameless ….possibilities

I loved this story ! It’s a ‘possibility’ story .. like it could actually happen.. Love the narrators ! I could listen to them read a cookbook!

OMG!!

This audible book was so good. The writer did such a fantastic job with the storyline. One of my favorite things is when each of them talk to themselves I would laugh out loud.
The narrators did such an awesome job.
The main reason I got this audiobook was because one of the narrators being Aiden Snow. That man could make reading a dinner menu sound sexy and make you melt.
The first time I heard his voice on an audiobook I fell in love. So now I seek out books that he is one of the narrators in. But I’m really glad I got this one because the book is really really good. I highly recommend it.

More steam than story!

The heroine: Jane - She has been writing her master's thesis on social work for two years and is working hard to finish it and get her dual degree and start making real money. She hasn’t had a decent date in years and has since become a closet porn addict and self satisfier. Jane is angry with her landlord who refuses to call a plumber and she keeps having problems in her apartment on the south shore in a building that is older than sin. She has had to learn DYI home fixes via YouTube and isn’t happy about it, so when her lawyer friend tells her she found a handyman and paid in advance, she was happy to have him come over.

The Hero: Chance - He is a stripper for hire for a company he co-owns with a few friends called P for H. He loves the extra benefits of being able to hook up with clients. The money he gets is for stripping only, so anything else is just gravy. He also owns his own construction company that he has been building for years since he finished his expensive business degree.

The Story: Jane thinks she is getting an actual handyman, not a stripper dressed as a handyman. Chance wasn’t in the mood to do any stripping that night and was surprised to see the woman without makeup and dressed in yoga pants with slippers. When Jane points him toward the bathroom, Chance thinks she wants to be seduced. After the miscommunication is figured out, Chance is looking forward to seducing the geeky girl. Chance offers to fix Jane’s bathroom if she will let him dance for her, and she agrees.

I usually don’t like stories like these, because a male stripper who regularly hooks up with his clients, kind of grosses me out. It is one thing to be a playboy and serial dater, but to hook up with a bunch of random women who hire strippers just seems icky. Though I did like Chance and the fact that he wasn’t only a stripper. I also thought it was kind of funny when he accidentally hits her laptop and wakes it up and sees the pornhub site she was watching. He gets really interested in Jane after seeing the kind of kink she likes watching. The intimate scenes are definitely super hot, but the side storylines were somewhat lacking.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Aiden Snow and Avery Reed. Avery Reed sometimes sounds a bit nasal to me, her voice is ok, but gets on my nerves just a bit. Though she doesn’t sound like she is reading and shows emotion through her voice so those are a plus. Aiden Snow is one of my favorite male narrators with a deep sexy voice.
