The Russian and the librarian... dominance and innocence

Emma needs help with her tuition and doesn't realise someone else has moved in. It's now Dimitri's home, and he was expecting an escort.

That's the start of their story and involves a very dominant Russsian and an innocent librarian.

This was an enjoyable story. There was a lot of leading by Dimitri and a lot of following by Emma, but that was to be expected with this storyline.

I read on Kindle and read along on Audible. Curiously, there were a lot of differences between the two mediums.

Lacks plot but great narration

It’s better on the erotica than on the storyline but easy to listen to while doing other things.

It took awhile to work out...

I couldn't put my finger on exactly why this book fell short for me until near the end.

There is WAY to much internal dialogue from both characters at critical moments. Right in the middle of sex or during a kidnapping moment it would meander off into a lengthy explanation that made you forget what was actually happening. It made the sex scenes tiresome and boring and what little action there was fall flat.

The other problem was the male narrator didn't pair his voice with the explanation of the emotion Dimitri was supposed to be feeling. He would be speaking in a calm monotone when it says Dimitri was furious, frantic, aroused...it didn't fit. Other than deepening his voice occasionally he didn't really change. The 3 stars for performance is for the female narrator...she was quite good.

As to the story there really isn't one. The beginning was very dub-con and Dimitri was OTT controlling over someone he had barely spoken a complete sentence to or listened to a complete sentence from.

Insta love on steroids from both sides but we had to listen to endless internal dialogue from Emma regarding how hot he was, no he is a criminal, oh he is just too sexy, no he is too controlling, oh I'm too horny to say no, but wait you guessed it she does...play, rewind, repeat.

Again the tired troupe of bad boy meets innocent virgin though the author tried to make it slightly more palatable by making Emma 23yrs old. God only knows how old Dimitri is - I might have slept thru that part 😴

Intense

Narrators were captivating, especially Tor Thom.
Plot did have a borderline Non Con scene in the beginning so please be mindful of that when listening. Found Female POV could drone on about unnecessary details sometimes. No cheating or OW drama.

Good story

Good story but it definitely needed more s*x. There were a few scenes that were discussed but we’re not elaborated on.

For example, Dimitri goes down on Emma in the shower, but there is no detail or dialogue of said scene.

More dialogue between Dimitri & Emma during s*x scenes would’ve made this story hotter.

Also the statement ‘you’ll be the death of me’ being constantly said was a little annoying.

The narrators did a good job.
