About this listen

Every man has his weakness. For prominent painter and sculptor Malakai Madden, that weakness has always been women. Now, he's finally ready to settle down and shower one woman with his love. There's just one major problem. Overnight, he's gained thousands of Twitter followers after his obsessive ex decides to leak some private information. To make matters worse, a well-known media source retweets them! Suddenly, every woman wants a piece of Malakai. And when the #BlessedByMalakai hashtag starts trending, he's dodging women left and right, and blocking his crotch like he's secret service securing the president. If he's ever going to get his life back and find his future wife, he needs to solve this problem and he needs to solve it fast!

Image consultant Avery Nightingale can't believe she's landed a meeting with a huge potential client. She knows all about the #BlessedByMalakai hashtag and she's ready to pitch her ideas. However, when she meets the man behind the Twitter legend, she's rendered speechless and Mr. Make You Moan is not impressed. He agrees to hire her on one condition. Avery must promise not to feed into the social media craze, a rule others have failed to follow before her. She agrees. After all, it's just one rule, right?

Contains mature themes.

I really love the 'Madden' world that Sherelle Green has created. Apart from the main characters, I was also invested in the lives of the supporting characters (can't wait to read the other books!) and found the dynamic between the Madden brothers believable and very entertaining, as well as the friendship between Avery and Jordyn. Had me gasping as well as laughing out loud throughout! Jakobi Diem and Mari are BRILLIANT narrators too!

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

In the beginning I thought it was going to be rubbish, but after the first chapter it got really good. He makes a mistake that gets him in hot waters and affects his business. She comes into the story to put it all in order gain. As the title implies the story is heavy on social media and reality tv.
The story is sweet, fun and spicy
Narration was amazing , Love Jacobi Diem's voice.

Cute rom-com

Starting with the US equivalent of a Benny Hill chase scene, minus the theme music (look it up, those of you not old enough to remember), the plot pans out from there in a completely haphazard series of non-events towards the cringe worthy and obvious denoument (proposal in public, being filmed to share on Twitter - eugh!) The characters have no depth and remain two-dimensional. The plot is so thin as to be see-through. It's obvious that the MCs will end up together, both in and out of the bedroom and I really didn't care. Even the spice is badly written.

And that's the main weakness here. OK, you don't expect a great tome of outstanding literature from a free audiobook that's under six hours long but Ms Green, surely you could have managed better than this. There is a lot of seriously sloppy writing here, some of it almost criminally bad - his lips meeting her lips before a sound could escape her lips? Surely you could have varied the language a little, without needing to reach for a thesaurus - mouth, perhaps? That's one of too many examples - you'll find your own I'm sure.

What adds to the offence is that there are occasional flashes promising some seriously good writing in here too. The beginning of the scene in which Avery finds Malakai in his studio late at night hints at the authors' ability to write something so much better. It's just a moment though and then it's gone. What I was left with was the feeling that this was just a pot-boiler, dashed off in a hurry to meet a deadline and fulfil the requirements of a contract for a series of similarly ephemeral trash.

The narration is good in parts. Mari's voice is always lovely to listen to - that woman could read a shopping list and fill the reader with anything from anguish to sexual tension. She invests the voice of Malakai with greater attractiveness than does Mr Diem. Both should be commended for making the most of poor materials but it's not enough to save the book. Suffice to say, I won't be bothering to pay good money for the second in the series.

Plot poor; writing sloppy; editing slapdash; narration tolerable
