About this listen

Stuck in a dead-end job, broken-hearted, broke and estranged from her best friend, Violet's life is nothing like she thought it would be. She wants more - better friends, better sex, a better job - and she wants it now.

So, when Lottie - who looks like the woman Violet wants to be when she grows up - offers Violet the chance to join her exciting start-up, she bites. Only it soon becomes clear that Lottie and her husband, Simon, are not only inviting Violet into their company, they are also inviting her into their lives.

Seduced by their townhouse, their expensive candles and their Friday-night sex parties, Violet cannot tear herself away from Lottie, Simon or their friends. But is this really the more Violet yearns for? Will it grant her the satisfaction she is so desperately seeking?

Insatiable is about women and desire - lust, longing and the need to be loved. It is a story about being unable to tell whether you are running towards your future or simply running away from your past. The result is at once tender and sad, funny and hopeful.

I was hoping for something else to be honest. but this is still worth to listen the whole thing! especially if you like the steamy scenes ;)

Interesting story but doesn't seem very realistic

Enjoyable, frothy sexy book but I found the reader so clipped and her annoying tone wasn't great (also: don't do an accent unless you can nail it. The only one she nailed was a posh RP, which is fine, but then after a while it becomes frightfully monotone and just another posh girl story. The scouse was bad and detracted away from the character of Nadia who could have made more of an impact had it have been approached differently). I really enjoyed the direction the book explores, and the different ways modern couples (or throuples) operate, but found the narrator so annoying and technically quite poor.

Refreshing bicurious Bridget Jones sexcapades

This was well written and had some quite funny moments but I just felt that the plot was a bit week and it was a bit like watching a well acted porno film. The juicy bits were there but I just got irritated with the characters and the ending was predictable

ropey story but well written

This book is good, the storyline wasn’t mind blowing, but it is a steamy mid 20’s crisis/coming of age book! I was recommended the book for its erotic side and I wasn’t disappointed!

Sexy!

Not my usual book. A journey of self discovery for a young woman who feels that she has to please and apologise to everyone but herself.
