Incredibly juicy!

Never heard of Velvet, but she is an amazing writer! The narrator, Honey Jones, has a lovely voice and she is easy to listen to. So glad I got this, I’ll be listening again and again! ❤️

too repetitive

I struggled finishing the book. The story was really juicy but I think maybe the reader threw me off . The writer repeats a lot too.

Oh Yes

This was a very good audio book. I am just glad to see the book on audio. I have read the whole series and let me tell you I could not put it down.

great story, but ...

so I loved the story, but the narrator mispronounced too many words and it made it very distracting. I loved her voice, but come on...learn how to pronounce.

Very very steamy!

This book was super steamy. I couldn't turn the book off until the end. I enjoyed the entire book and the ending was perfect!

Waiting for book 2

I really enjoyed this book. Won’t give it away but lots of turn and twists. Couldn’t decide it I loved or hate the main character. At the end, I understood them.

Pronunciation matters

Kind of funny mispronunciations, kind of not
Pedantic story with unlikable characters
There are much better choices

unrealistic storyline

Really do not like putting down storyline because authors work hard but this one really a stretch. seemed like story was slow especially towards the end and then wraps up explanation of whole storyline in just a few minutes. this read was first book i have read that i would not have spent money on to read.

Good start but bad ending

The black door started off really good. I sympathized with Ariel and the lack of passion in her sex life. The slow burning passion between Ariel and Trey was really good. I felt like it was building up to be this climactic thing. I didn't know if they were going to end up together or if other factors were going to deter them. However the way that the author chose to end the story left much to be desired. The whole story she was building up to this climax like what is going to happen, how is this going to be resolved, what are they going to do and she just ended it like it was just very abrupt and I didn't care for it. I don't think I will be reading any more in this series.

eeeeehhhhh.......

The ending.....? We went through the mis pronunciation of words and build up of drama only to receive the quick cop out of short term memory loss. Very dismal. Ariel got a little out of character when the Judge proclaimed his job came before EVERYTHING. Being that she married him and didn't really want him, it makes her look horrible. Realistically would Michelle really keep her mouth shut? Throw the whole ending away.
