Audio Tour: Dirty Talk by S.L. Scott


TITLE: Dirty Talk

AUTHOR: S.L. Scott

GENRE: Romantic Comedy

GOODREADS: http://bit.ly/DirtyTalkGR


SYNOPSIS 

From the New York Times Bestselling Author that brought you The Resistance comes this dirty-talking, sexy standalone.

Because first love deserves a second chance 

One month.
One movie.
One shot at a second chance.

I fell madly in love at first sight with Jane Lewis.

The girl with bright blue eyes, a pretty smile, and great ass owned my heart. I thought she was happy with the status quo, but ten years later, I foolishly let her go. Despite dating other women, no one compares to my first love. We are meant to be together, and I’m going to try my damnedest to convince her of that.

Luke Anders tricked me. The deal was sealed before I knew he was behind it.

We agreed to be just friends. Simple. Easy. But it’s not just the weather that’s hot in Texas. I was a fool to think I could resist him. He knows how to work his charms and those kissable lips, that great jaw, and biceps. We are here to work, but he has become downright distracting.

I’m strong. I can handle one month of his flirtatious sexual torture. But if I happen to fall in bed with that sexy bastard for a night, or three, does that make me weak? Asking for a friend, of course.

I guess I’m about to find out when love gets messy, it’s not just the talk that’s dirty.

EXCERPT

“What if I touched you right where you want to be touched?” I slide my hand up her thigh, inching her skirt up slowly. Her breath catches, the quiet gasp making me smile. “What if I touched you right where you pretend to be so protective? I know you. I know you like it dirty… maybe even a little rough.”
She finds her voice, though it’s affected, sexy. “A lot.”
“What is that?”
Clearing her throat, she says, “I like it rough. Really rough.”
The right side of my mouth curves up, my hand stalling just below the apex of her thighs when my phone buzzes. I release a sigh. Grabbing the phone from my pocket, I sit up and read the text: Let’s get the fuck out of here. I look back at the black-haired raven I’ve left squirming on the metal barstool next to me. Pity. I’d like to explore exactly how she likes it, but duty calls. Standing up suddenly, I grab my wallet and slap some bills down for the drinks.
“What are you doing?” she demands, desperation lacing her tone as her eyes go wide.
I tuck my wallet back into the inside pocket of my Vittori suit jacket and kiss her on the cheek. Since I’m there, I add with a wink, “I bet we’d be so fucking good together.” Straightening upright, I smirk. “My apologies. I hate to run, but unfortunately, I have a prior engagement I can’t get out of. Maybe we can pick this up another time. I’ll see you around, sweetheart.”
She huffs. “You’re a playboy bastard, Luke Anders,” rolls off her tongue in frustrated anger as she spins back to the bar.




Review

I was excited to dive into the audio book for this story -- I loved it so much when I read it first that I couldn't wait to see how the narrators pulled me right back in.  And they did.  These two pulled me right in, and did a fabulous job with the dual narrative.  They brought Dirty Talk to life and made me fall for these characters and their story all over again.


Second Chance Romances are my jam (or one of them I guess I should say) and I have been looking forward to this one for a while. 

Luke is everything you could want in a romantic hero. He's a dirty talking hottie who is dedicated to getting what he wants.What he wants is Jane. I adored Luke, he's the type of character that sucks you in and hooks you deep. 

Jane has made mistakes in the past, she's taken things at face value when she shouldn't have, she's let herself be walked over and she's let herself suffer. But she's also not the type to just be down for the count, she's got a backbone and she's got strength. I really felt like she grew a lot from page one til the end of the story, she never let herself excused, rather she owned her mistakes and her desires, and everything in between. 

This story did a number on my heart, and saying that is a good thing, because it was. This story is emotional in so many ways. I had all the feels while reading this, moments where I laughed, or wanted to cry, times when I wanted to knock some sense into a character and others where I just wanted to give them a hug. I loved how all of the pieces just fit together, the past and the present, the actions of both Luke and Jane, their thoughts and feelings, everything it was all on point and really gave the story a depth and realism. 

I loved the interactions between Jane and Luke, how it wasn't just an 'Oh, we're stuck together, lets make the best of it'. I loved the emotions these characters gave me, their struggles and their pain, their hopes for the future all of it building up the story and pulling me further and further in. Dirty Talk was a second chance romance, yes, but it was also truly something more and I enjoyed every single page of this tale.

REVIEW

I've read Live Wire previously but I was excited to see how it read as an audio book - and I wasn't disappointed.  The narrator told the story wonderfully pulling me into the actions and emotions of the story smoothly.  I was spun into the story, envisioning each character and their actions and feeling like I was a part of the discussions as well.  

My review of the story itself follows. 


Live Wire was a quick read, just a short story that adds to the series, by delivering us a touch of suspense and adventure before Sugar and Jared's baby arrives. I loved the setup of the story and how Sugar and Lexi wanted to do surveillance that everyone else considered boring, but that this particular incident was anything but boring. I love Sugar's feistiness and sass, but also that she knows what she's doing, no matter the situation, she can figure something out OR know when to ask for help. This story had its heat for sure with multiple steamy scenes, but it also had sweetness mixed in. I felt that in addition to the unexpected job that popped up, we also got to see Jared work through some of his own struggle with expecting another child.

Live Wire had everything a full length novel would have, intrique, emotions, and romance, but it wrapped it up nice and neat in a shorter story that gave me a little bit of happy while I await the next book. If you love the Titan Group, you definitely need to pick this one up.

With time running out, Matt will put everything on the line to protect Evie and find her sister. Even if it means sacrificing all he's worked for with HOT. Sometimes, the reward is worth the price.

About GONE TO DUST by Liliana Hart

The Gravediggers aren't exactly what they seem. They're the most elite of the world's fighting forces - and all they have in common is that they've been betrayed by the countries they've died for. Because they are dead. To their countries, their militaries, and their families. Sometimes the dead do rise.... Miller Darling is one of the most popular romance novelists of her time. Not bad for a woman who doesn't believe in romance. She's as logical as they come, and she doesn't believe in happily ever afters. What she does believe in is family, so when her brother disappears, she doesn't think twice about packing her bag and her laptop and heading out to find him. Elias Cole lived and breathed the life of a Navy SEAL. Now he's "dead" and his hero's honor tarnished. The only thing keeping him sane are the men who are like him - The Gravediggers - and the woman who makes his head spin. He's never met anyone like Miller Darling. Her smart mouth and quick wit keep him on his toes, and damned if he doesn't find that appealing. When Miller receives a package from the brother who abandoned her asking for help, it's clear she's in over her head with the mess he's gotten himself into. She needs a professional, and Elias is just the man for the job. Only her brother is a former SEAL - the man who left his team to die - and Elias is more interested in vengeance than saving his life.

About A SEAL'S OATH by Cora Seton

Navy SEAL Boone Rudman and his friends want to create a sustainable community that can be replicated anywhere in the world. But they need land, so when Martin Fulsom, leader of the Fulsom Foundation, offers them Westfield, a ranch in Montana, they agree to Fulsom's condition that they document their progress on a reality television show. Building the community will be hard enough, but Boone's got another problem. Fulsom expects families to make up the population of the new town. Now Boone's got to find a wife fast, before he loses his funding and his dream. So when he arrives at Westfield to find it already occupied by the startlingly beautiful, strangely attired Riley Eaton, he wonders if fate itself has provided him with an answer. Riley Eaton is done with traffic jams and 24/7 workweeks. She loves Jane Austen's novels, and she knows she's not the only woman longing for a simpler, more beautiful life. When she discovers her friends are in the same frame of mind, she throws caution to the wind and invites them to Westfield, the ranch her uncle inherited long ago but has never lived in. Equipped with a key and a standing invitation to stay there whenever she likes, she gathers her friends, drives to Chance Creek, and gives up all things 21st century in order to open a Jane Austen-style bed-and-breakfast. She knows her absentee uncle will be thrilled with a new stream of income, and Westfield is perfect for Regency living, with its wide lawns, extensive gardens, and large ballroom. But when sexy, stubborn Boone shows up with plans to build a hyper-modern sustainable community on the ranch, it's clear her Regency paradise is over before it even began. Now Boone has 30 days to marry Riley or lose the ranch to developers, and Riley has three weeks to prepare for the bed-and-breakfast's first guests or face bankruptcy. Can they overcome their prejudices to help each other? Or will their pride destroy both their futures?

Title: Inarticulate
Author: Eden Summers
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Narrated By: Maxine Mitchell
Release Date: April 14, 2017



Blurb

He’s silent—but his touch speaks louder than words. 

At first sight, Savannah is drawn to the harsh appeal of a man who refuses to talk to her. Keenan’s hard stare is arrogant and unapologetic. The quirk of his sensuous lips is cocky and in control.

But there’s more. There’s something deeper he’s trying to hide behind those steely grey eyes—a slight hint of vulnerability which captures her intrigue.

She’d been warned, told that his silence hides a myriad of lies capable of affecting her career and relationships with loved ones. Only she can't help herself. Testing Keenan's defenses is an addiction she can't deny. 

Falling in lust is easy. Learning his secrets comes with a price. The cost? Her broken heart.
