Wow, this book blew me away, a love story like no other, a beautiful and passionate love. This book became my obsession and I could not tear myself away because I needed to know what happens next. Sebastian Lombardi left his life in Naples, Italy, behind to pursue a career in show business, landing an acting gig in a small theatre. Since he still sent money home to his family, he took a chauffeuring job, and it was that job that push started his career, because his client, Savannah Meyers, the wife of his favorite actor and his idol, Adam Meyers, was his client. Sebastian may only be eighteen, but he is a mature eighteen and when Savannah, who is older, takes in interest in him, he is all for it. When she stumbles upon his screenplay, she asked to read it and it left her impressed enough to share with her husband. She also shared how seductive Sebastian was without ever touching her, and the chemistry she felt, and when Adam met him, he felt that same chemistry and they had a proposition for him. It was great to watch these three navigate a sensual and passion filled relationship, and then see it morph into something so much more, an indescribable love. Is their love strong enough to survive outside pressures? Sebastian was sure it could, but what about Savannah and Adam? I loved all the layers of this story and how it all played out, except for that ending, which I was not happy about that, but am hopeful something great comes next for them. This book contained a lot of Sebastian’s point of view and I would love to hear more from the other two, as well as their back stories. There is never a dull moment in this book, and the story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and a sizzling romance with superbly done scenes. The writing, plot and world building are incredible, as are the character growth and development. Gianna Darling, thanks for the amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Wow, what an amazing listen, performed in duet by the wonderfully talented CJ Mission, Desiree Ketchum, and Shane East. They made a great narration team, with voices and talent that complemented each other and a performance that takes the book to a whole never level. Their portrayal of these characters is perfection, and I loved how they took their roles and made them their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. CJ Mission nailed it as Sebastian, Italian accent included, swoon worthy, seductive with lots of heart. Desiree Ketchum was just as amazing as Savannah, showcasing her personality and demeanor, handling her changes in mood flawlessly, while putting up her walls. Shane East was a natural in Adam’s role with his British accent, grasping every aspect of his personality, including his dominating alpha-tude. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and their passion, having you feeling all. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

this audiobook was a truly beautiful experience, it being done in duet narration was the perfect choice to really showcase each character. Not to sound like an audible advert but really and truly I urge you to listen to this as close to 1x speed as you can 😂 the sensuality in Gianas writing is like nothing I’ve ever read before, that slowing it down makes you appreciate it that much more. Honestly, I think this may be the most sensually erotic book I’ve ever read/listened to… which is saying A LOT!

CJ Mission as Sebastian was the star, it felt like having the most romantic and filthy mouthed Italian whispering seductively in your ear for 11 hours. He was dominant but with this delicious delicateness. And no surprise Shane East delivered on the commanding dominant role, his voice is like whiskey 🤤

I’m frothing at the mouth for more of this trio I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in this series, I neeeeeeeed more after that ending!!! I already miss being in this world Gianna created and am trying to hold myself back on immediately re listening to it so I can save it for when book 2 comes out 😭

This book was EVERYTHING! Giana Darling has a beautiful, captivating way with words. I was hooked from the beginning and I was on the edge of my seat listening to this audiobook. There's tension, angst, emotion, spice, intensity, chemistry, and a whirlwind romance where everyone is in love with everyone. I absolutely LOVED Sebastian and I cannot wait to see how things play out in the next book after that gut wrenching cliffhanger.

The narrators were phenomenal. CJ Mission was literally perfection. This was my first time listing to one of their audiobook and it definitely won't be my last. Shane East is one of my favorite narrators and both of the male narrators were *chef's kiss*. Desireé Ketchum was also really great with her narration of Savannah.

This MMF, age gap, marriage in crisis, secret relationship, spicy romance is a must read and I am dying to read the next book.

What the whaaaaaaat?!!!! So I love going into books blind. It’s my superpower really. It is usually delightful to be surprised with all the twists and turns, tropes, and HEAs. Well, I didn’t get the memo that this wasn’t a standalone! So Giana left me wanting so… much… more!

Buuuuut I’ll forgive her because this is my favourite kind of love story. It is messy, with complicated characters who are multi-faceted. And we just get to scratch the surface of their layers in Book 1. Annnnnnnd she picked the perfect narrators. Desireé is delightful as the snooty muse and the oldest in this steamy MMF romance. She was just the right balance of “I’m too important to do things for myself,” and “I came from the wrong side of the tracks where people get filthy in the great outdoors.” Shane is a famous British actor who is secretly bisexual. He is commanding in the bedroom and insecure in his feelings. But for me, the real show stealer here is C.J., who just smashes it as Sebastian. His Italian accent isn’t over the top or caricaturey. He gives us the naïvity of a young eighteen-year-old trying to get his big break while looking after his family back home in Naples. He is vulnerable with his love but gets a real taste for the spicy times. Sebastian (aka C.J.) can call me “duchessa” anytime! This audiobook really is fantastic.

There are no spoilers here. If you like to binge series, you may want to grab it now but wait until the series is complete before you dive in. Get into it now if you can handle being left hanging for a few months. This is full of emotions but is filthy AF too. Er, I would like a ride in their limo, please! So many yummy things happen there.

I wholeheartedly support you getting this one in your ears. You know you want to!





Great story and narration. I need more from them!
