Publisher's summary

Book two in the Venus Rising Quartet following the Venus School of Sex.

At the end of book one, Jessica Swift returned home from the Venus School to find that the two instructors she'd fallen for actually work at the same company as her. The fantasies and desires of her surreal two weeks at the school clash with the reality of wanting two men equally, especially since she'd not even sure if the men she fell for are real.

Justin and Chris are willing to fight for Jessica, to prove to her that she can trust them despite their deception, and to convince her to give them a chance to see if they can turn fantasy into reality.

Will she be forced to choose between them? Even if she doesn't, how can a relationship like that possibly work in real life? What will their friends and family think? Jessica doesn't have any of the answers, but she has a lot of fears to push through in order to find her happily ever after.

This is an erotic romance with graphic descriptions of sexual activity that includes MFM threesome; oral, vaginal, and anal sex; anal play; bondage; BDSM; and some exhibitionism/voyeurism.

Awesome book, so so narration

I love, love, love this series!! I adore the storyline and the subject matter. I really like the discussion on polyamory though I wish it didn't keep referring to it as deviant behavior instead of simply alternative. I really like the characters and that they are dealing with real life problems. Of course this book is also incredibly HOT!! Panty melting hot to be more precise. I advise you take notes cause it's just that good!

As for the narrator she was not as good unfortunately. Her performance was very wooden and choppy. I had to increase the listening speed just to make her tempo bearable. Though she did manage to have some variation between male and female voices and did have moments of enjoyable inflection, too much of her performance just fell flat. I would have loved for this to have been done as a duel narration or at least with a narrator with more experience doing romance novels.

Terrible narrator recast

I must say while I didn’t adore the narrator of the first book, this new narrator was awful.

The pacing and acting just wasn’t there. The story telling felt very stilted. There was also no variation in how the reading was performed. It gave the impression the narrator was reading without understanding or being invested in the story.

Good erotic story

I found the first book in the series a bit better and got me more interested. Would still recommend.

Was the first one this bad?

This seemed like a forced book. The author spent half a chapter describing what football teams certain characters rooted for. She also introduced characters in a LOT of detail that played only a small part in the book. The narrator seemed short of breath and could only speak 3 words between pauses. It made it hard to follow what was happening.

When Reality Sets In...

Now that their time at the Venus School is over, Jessica has to face the two men who dominated over her body (the last couple of weeks) back at work! Not only them, but every one else including her parents, Justin and Chris's friends and family, plus all the challenges that come with that.

Jessica's best friend Hillary is curious enough to tag along with the trio when they go to Stronghold (the BDSM Nightclub). Left to her own devices in the dungeon, she's like a fish who leapt out of the fishbowl into a sea of big fish. Liam, one of said big fish, comes to her rescue when an aggressive dom doesn't leave her alone. There's undeniable chemistry between the baby Submissive tourist and the mercurial Dom. He wants her, but he doesn't like to involve himself with new subs, where as Hillary is attracted to the debauchery, but her fear wins out in the end.

Just so you know, there is a cliffhanger epilogue. There's also a new narrator, whose voice I did not warm up to. To be honest, her acting during the steamy moments were a bit cringey. I found myself listening at 1.6 speed so I could quickly move on with the next book. The first book was definitely more exciting, but I am seriously intrigued by Hillary and Liam! They're total opposites, so I'm looking forward to finding out how they'll get on with each encounter. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

AMAZING continuance

I love that this is still going as strong as the first one. She is still working out the kinks (pun intended) and now her friend is into it too. The way the book unfolds helps the one learn more about this taboo subject. I love the author and the narrator and how they make the books flow so well. #AudioBookObsession

Continuation from Book 1

This story is a continuation from book 1. Jessica has fallen for Chris and Justin and decide they will become a threesome. Of course there is some hot and steamy scenes as well as some continued character development. The thruple are confronted with mixed reactions when they explain their relationship to their parents. Great narration. Can’t wait for book3!

🎧 AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧

I loved the uniqueness of the first book. It was that excitement that hooked. Unfortunately, this continuation falls a little flat. This story puts the characters back in the real world with all the dullness that entails. The series began as an erotic romance with elements of fantasy and requires a heavy suspension of disbelief. In this second book, the story morphs into a typical contemporary romance. It just wasn’t that exciting.
