If you are an audiobook enthusiast this has a full cast that looks to be a fun and festive option. I have not listened to it yet…have you?

This spicy romance has exploration that is more explicit between characters that may include dirty talk, detailed intimate moments, or suggested desire of what they would like to do with their partner. This moment might also be expressed before, during, or after intimacy, spicy e-mails, letters, or texting. Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or moments that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat.
