Wicked Burn

De: Beth Kery

Narrado por: Shirl Rae

Vic Savian knows what he wants when he sees it. And what he wants is his sexy neighbor, Niall Chandler. When he finds her in the hallway of their building being harassed by an aggressive suitor, Vic steps in - and finds himself greatly rewarded....

Sleeping with her gorgeous neighbor - when she didn't even know his last name - was the craziest thing Niall's ever done. Now, she can't seem to get enough of Vic, or what he stirs in her. Suddenly she's exploring uninhibited pleasures she's never known before. But when her past returns to haunt her, she and Vic are forced to venture beyond the pleasures of the flesh, and risk it all on something deeper, something found only in the heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the best erotic romances I have ever read." ( All About Romance)

Pretty good but not the best.

Narrator was really good. Story line was good but not the greatest. Vic was self centered and that got to me. It's like, wake up jerk! That really turned me off. He did wake up some at the end by then I was through with him so to speak.

Unexpected Surprise

What did you love best about Wicked Burn?

I purchased this book on a whim and it was an unexpected surprise. The story line was a bit predictable, however, Beth Kery is now on my TBR list!

What about Shirl Rae’s performance did you like?

She read with such emotions that it pulled me into the story. Very good narrator.

I disliked, liked, loved & was frustrated coz.....

Firstly, I think this should be under Erotica rather than Romance because it's a hot explicit listen - so beware - if you don't like your romances coming with a 'Caution Contents are Hot' warning then look elsewhere. I didn't think I was going to like this as it starts off from chapter 1 after very briefly meeting in the hallway of their apartments followed by just one gulp of whiskey in his apartment along with very little/no conversation between the two they have passionate graphic hot sex but I felt it somehow just seemed a bit cold, clinical and implausible.

Slowly the two lovers begin to get to know each other and so does the listener finally begin to learn about the characters, their backgrounds and feelings. However, it's one of those frustrating listens that has you screaming "talk to him just tell him" - if only they would have one serious conversation as well as sex, or before or after, then all could be cleared up - but oh no.

So things go from good to great then disastrous but during this time the romance of the story finally comes out rather than just the erotica. But again, I get frustrated because she stays at his family's ranch to try to clear things up but after weeks and weeks she still hasn't done or said a thing to him. Eventually the usual hits the fan and then, after finally talking (see they should have listened to me) all is cleared up but it ends so abruptly that I felt robbed of the romance bit that just one more chapter or even an Epilogue could have given me.

Worth a credit? Yes but barely - I much prefer these types of romance stories by authors such as Lora Leigh, Maya Banks, Lorelei James to name just a few as their erotica is well done and well placed within the pages of their stories. But hey this is just my opinion - you may love it.

Explicit sex, wordy drama, and an ok plot based on dealing with tragedy and trauma

The story isn’t bad but the book could have been edited better and would have seemed less whiney if the narrator had been a better choice. She has a sexy, whispery voice that works for the female int the erotic scenes but not so much as the alpha male. It also doesn’t work beyond the bedroom. It is just annoying. Better to read this one then waste a credit- unless you have the Romance Package.

One of the BEST stories ever!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
