Summary

"My misbehaviour during the exam added to my awareness of what I wanted sexually. For all that Tiggy was perfectly friendly and polite, she represented everything I wasn't, and everything I'd set myself against. So, in different ways, did all the macho-men, the stuck-up landowners, the crude farm boys, my archetypal males, all the figures from my fantasies. Given that I wanted to be restrained, it made sense for it to be done by those types rather than the nice guys. After all, just because somebody turns me on doesn't mean I have to like them."

When university lecturer Hazel Jones takes the most popular of her female environmental-science students as a lodger, she is expecting a procession of attractive men to follow. What she doesn't expect is Tiggy's diary to be left out every day. Knowing what her lodger gets up to, she is unable to resist reading it. It's not quite what she expects, and the revelations quickly lead her down a path she never expected to take.

Progressively good then.................

The narrator fantasises constantly about being taken en-masse by rugby teams etc. but never quite makes it.

She does however have some delicious other escapades with her acquaintances.

I listened to this whilst on holiday and I enjoyed it for the light-hearted romp that it is. The narrator has an excellent knowledge of environmental issues as Glyn has commented which lift the story somewhat.

I must say I was slightly disappointed with the ending and it left me wondering if the book had been accidentally chopped. The Audible endpiece came in a little too quickly to be safe so I will have to find a copy of the written work somewhere and check it.

Not a literary masterpiece but a good holiday listen :-)

Very enjoyable in the end

I purchased this book some months ago but never got round to listening to it. When I downloaded it I don't think the book had been reviewed, so I am grateful to the other reviewers comments advising of the slow start, which it certainly was, else I might not have persevered. Whilst very erotic in places, what amazed me about the story was the knowledge of the author on environmental biology and rights issues, which link the main themes of the story. Not convinced by the Miles sub-plot, and whilst well narrated, loved the breathless Tiggy characterisation, found the upper middle-class tones adopted for Hazel as unconvincing for a left wing provincial lecturer. Some unexpected twists and a bottom clenching ending! Worth a listen enjoy!

Fantastic

Got to agree the story does start slow but builds up. Loved the story, believable characters, written with excellent knowledge. The narrator is absolutely brilliant, perfect can not fault at all. I will be listening to this over and over again, could just do with a Bound in blue part 2 would love to know how Hazel and Tiggy get on. Totally recommend this book.

Surprisingly Good

I admit I was a little surprised to find this one was really quite enjoyable. Well written, with interesting characters, nicely described scenes of all types, and a satisfying twist at the end.

great partnership

Wittily humorous with a pace that moves along with brilliant narration. What a super way to introduce different forms of erotica. We need more from this author and this narrator . Well worth the purchase

Delightful!

Starts a little slowly, but builds relentlessly to a delicious climax... and ends.

Highly enjoyable, well narrated and certainly recommended.

Slow burner but worth the wait

A rather different erotic novel than i am used to but none the less very enjoyable.
Great characters that take a long time to get going but that only adds to the tension and the final 4 chapters are very erotic.
The main characters Tiggy and Hazel just ooze sex appeal and leave you wanting more of the two of them.Very well written and highly arousing i will no doubt be enjoying this again and again.

Pathetic

By far the worst audio book, or book of any sort I’ve ever encountered. Total rubbish

Don't waste your money

Just rubbish, dull story if you can call it that. 3 chapters in and I really won't be bothering to listen to anymore.
