New to Audio Erotica

Would you listen to Dark Secrets again? Why?

Yes, I do plan on listening to it again just because so many things happened so quickly I couldn't keep up with everything that was happening while holding off my own desires.

What about Alexandria Blackstone’s performance did you like?

The narrator of the story’s voice rang true to the character of an inquisitive virgin about to begin her discovery of the dark pleasurable side of life. I felt like Alexandria was in the room with me, teasing me, inviting me to participate in the story as it unfolded.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did have an extreme reaction to this book, but laughing or crying was no where to be found. Fortunately, I did not have to stand up for awhile.

Any additional comments?

I am not an avid reader or rather a listener in this case. However I came across this audio book and decided to try something new. I really wasn’t sure what to expect as I began listening to the story of a country girl moving into Chicago to experience the thrills of life. However, 12 minutes into the story my attention was completely raised, in the most literal sense.

Steamy and Hot!

Where does Dark Secrets rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Close to the top.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Secrets?

The gift, a very satisfying sex toy.

What about Alexandria Blackstone’s performance did you like?

She made me feel like I was right there in the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, definitely.

Any additional comments?

I really liked this story. Short and sweet! It didn’t waste time with romance. It got right into the sex. It reminded me of many nights dreaming about others while satisfying myself. Check it out. And the rear window scenes are raunchy just the way I like it. Country girl comes to the big city and finds some interesting sex scenes going on right outside her window. There’s something for everybody and it will bring out the voyeurism in you.

Phwoar

If you could sum up Dark Secrets in three words, what would they be?

Deliciously provocative. Arousing.

What does Alexandria Blackstone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator is what makes the story come alive for me. I wouldn't imagine reading this and having the same reaction.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was a thirty-minute listen, so it was quite easy to listen to all at once.

Consuming story

What did you love best about Dark Secrets?

I very much enjoyed the way the character's fantasies took on a dimension of reality, like her thoughts were so potent they made her actually live out the scenes she was imagining. This aspect was so engrossing, in fact, I'm not entirely sure if the ending was "real" or a real-ized fantasy!

What other book might you compare Dark Secrets to and why?

I have to go with 50 Shades, because whatever a person's opinion on that work, it seems to be the benchmark everybody is familiar with for this genre. Say what you will about that author's technical ability and style, ultimately a book's "goodness" or "badness" comes down to how it makes the reader/listener feel, and how well it does it. THAT is why 50 Shades was so popular. In that regard, despite the much shorter length, I enjoyed Dark Secrets considerably more than that other story.

What does Alexandria Blackstone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Alexandria does a superb job of narration - storytelling, really. The difference is that she made me feel like I was sitting face to face with the character, in person. She made me forget that this was a fictional story being read to me and made it more real in a dimension wholly different from any available to even the most talented author.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sometimes you find exactly what you're looking for

Any additional comments?

I could go on and on about this story, but nobody wants to read literary analyses. Bottom line: even if you're NOT a fan of erotica, this is an entertaining, engrossing tale, and well worth your time for the experience.
