The Tease

The Virgin Society, Book 3

De: Lauren Blakely

Narrado por: Vanessa Edwin, Jason Clarke

I swear I’m a good girl.

I didn’t go to the exclusive, after-hours masquerade to kiss my dad’s best friend. I didn’t even know who the masked man was when he touched me like I was his every fantasy.

But when I learn exactly how off-limits my new lover is, I do my best to avoid him the next time. Except, he has his sinful sights set on me, even when he discovers who I am. Just one time, he whispers. Then we’ll pretend this never happened.

Seems the enigmatic, gorgeous single dad I’ve known by day is a very dirty man after dark.

But one night turns into a stolen weekend, giving me a taste of so much more. When it's over, we vow to stay apart.

We could never work.

He’s focused on raising his young son, and I can’t let my already damaged family break more. But the caring, possessive man keeps coming back to me, and these secret nights tangled up together are turning into tender moments that make my heart thunder.

And soon, this tease of a forbidden romance is making me want so much more than I can ever have…

This audio is Finn-tastic

Age gap, punishing with pleasure, single dad, dad’s best friend? Vanessa Edwin AND Jason Clarke?! I literally had zero choice but to listen to this audiobook. And what a performance they put on. Oh my lord. Lauren did it again. This entire series was absolutely stunning, but I have to say that Finn was my all time favorite. How could he not be? This was such a great story of love, acceptance, and forgiveness. I’m obsessed with Finn and Jules.

Fantastic!

Absolutely fantastic! Every time these narrators are together, it is pure magic!

The story was absolutely amazing!

I'm madly in love with Finn!

I’m loving the Virgin Society series. Lauren Blakely has given us so many feels in several tropes I love. Teasing about Jules and Finn got me so exited to listen to this.

An unexpected meeting puts Finn and Jules in a sticky situation. At the time they meet at a masquerade party, there’s an almost instant chemistry between them. They spend a wonderful night together, and are hoping for more, but Finn is shocked when he discovers that Jules is his business partner’s daughter, and Jules finds out that Finn is her father’s business partner. Knowing this, they agree they can’t continue to see each other. Easier said than done. Their pull toward each other is so strong, and it’s hard to stay away. No spoilers, but this is where the complications get more complicated. I loved how their story unfolds, and also the side stories. You’ll recognize some characters from this series, and get an update on them.

Lauren gives all the feels in this story of second chances in its many forms. Finn and Jules make a beautiful couple.

Jason Clarke narrates a single dad who spoils his young son, and finds himself in the predicament of right girl, wrong time when he meets Jules. Vanessa Edwin’s Jules is working through some issues of her own, and Finn seemingly comes along when she needs him most. I love Jules’ sass and her self-confidence and awareness of what she wants in her career. And Finn and his son are so adorable together. Another perfectly imperfect love story.

Love the story and the voice actors

Representative of disabilities and acceptance. Characters were believable and Finn and Jules were loveable and endearing.

❤️🩶 AGE-GAP FORBIDDEN PERFECTION 🩶❤️

It’s enough to say it’s Lauren Blakely.. it’s Jason Clarke.. and it’s Vanessa Edwin - so it’s a must have and the easiest decision ever made. But, if you do need more, then read on….

A daughter and her father’s best friend are torn between loyalty, guilt and lust when an invitation only private kinky masquerade role playing and spicy ‘taster’ tryst leads to the West Village.. to a one night only.. to a virgin’s firsts.. to multiple Os.. to Paris.. and to much much more. Jules and Finn’s forbidden-to-forever is Lauren’s soul-mate age-gap deliriously delicious story to tell. However I will say, the emotional choices and highly charged difficult decisions.. the sweet and smoochy.. the dirty desires and temptations.. the barriers and dangers.. the past hurt and present hope.. the sweet interactions with the seven yo son.. the longing.. and of course the love, were weaved and unravelled by a very talented storyteller. I love the way Lauren writes about magnetic chemistry, about naughty and needy, heat and heart, sweet and sizzling and tender and tortured. Her cast of loveable interesting main and secondary characters are both new and preloved.. and her well-chosen narrators bring them all to life. Vanessa and Jason are the perfect pairing of voice actors for twenty-five yo Jules and forty yo single Dad Finn’s emotional and highly charged journey. For their electric attraction, loss of control, dark desires, fantasies, dirty talk, steamy scenes, obsession and their heart’s secret desires to come to life as only the very best of narrators can do. And together they breathed life and love into this wonderful wonderful story and listen.

Worth a credit? Yes.. and each and every time it’s going to be a yes because I know my credits are always a good exchange for this brilliant author’s latest book.
