really couldn't put down so good.

I loved this book it not only tackles age gap but the man characters went your stereotype people and she actually wasnt the normal size zero wag wannabe be it was really refreshing that she was different and had a brain not a drama queen. loved so much will probably read again in a couple of days then more likely again after that.x

Slow start, but picks up about halfway in

The story starts slow but picks up about halfway in and by that point, it's just hard to stop listening. The storyline is interesting, the characters are relatable and their dialogue is amazing, and the narrators' performance is outstanding! Slow start aside, this is one good book.

Dirty Desires is a slow-burn, age-gap (OMYW) contemporary billionaire romance written in dual first-person POV and recorded in dual narration. It's a standalone that ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

HOT & EMOTIONAL LOVE STORY

I recieved this book for Free to Give My True & Honest Review in the ebook format & as I was late in reading it I brought it in Audio.

And what a big deep emotional story by both bar tender Eve, who started to write a Diary not realising that people were able to read it online & that it wasn't a secure private site..
And its where British - Afican Billionaire Ian whom we met in Dirty Husband as Shep's best friend.
And as soon as Ian sees that someone wants to buy Eve's virginity he becomes slightly obbsevive with wanting to be the one man to take it, especially after he tracks her down.
Things don't go so smoothly all the way through especially when it was close to the end of their contacted month together & Eve starts reading his comments in the sides of The Handmaids Tale & feels betrayed that she can't stay or know if she'd be able to forgive & trust him again.....

I did enjoy the audio though I did think that Shane East was not right to be the narrator as he didn't sound much a Londond'er or that he was of Afican decent 🙄 (sorry)

Loved this!

A must listen! I loved this book and how the narrators brought it to life!

Narrator

it's a nice plot not especial, only botheres me are the narrator how they narrate a guy narrating ams changing his voice to a woman when the woman narrator can say those parts. and for the woman narrator goes same we way around as well
they could just narrate in a normal voices and narrate in their own character onstead of changing their voices into a woman or a man.

Definitely worth a listen!

I was gifted an audible code for an honest review.

This is my first book/ audiobook by this author and it did not disappoint. It follows the journey of 18 year old Eve and 36 year old Ian who peruses her and offers her a deal she cannot refuse. The story is well written and the narrators definitely bring it to life with their performances. I personally prefer duet performances in audio but Shane East and Vanessa Edwin are great at portraying both the male and female roles in the book. I look forward to reading/ listening to more books by the author and narrators.

Fantastic!

Each book in this series just proves the talent of Crystal Kaswell. She can create characters that are flawed, easy to relate to, and make us fall in love with them! Dirty Desires is a little bit of an age difference taboo listen and it's completely delicious! At18, Eve has much more responsibility than she should have at her age. To cope, she keeps an online blog. When Ian reads her entries, he is entranced, and obsessed with what she is about to do. So what does he do? He seeks her out, offers her a better deal and the two are put together for 30 days. This is where the story gets good. Can you be with someone for 30 days and just walk away when it's over? I loved the flow of this book. It has real heart and I found myself relating to both Ian and Eve. Eve is ferocious, and I love that about her. She is bound and determined to make it, and Ian just may be her ticket. Ian is that broody man that carries his hurt with him. Protecting his heart is all he thinks he can do to stay safe. So what will happen when feelings develop? Kaswell is a master at writing, and every book is so captivating. I loved her way of grabbing us and investing our hearts in the outcome. This was a fantastic listen!

Eve is young and the choice of Vanessa Edwin to voice her is genius. Edwin has a voice that can play any age, but she nails Eve. Each emotion, from the cocky girl we first meet to the vulnerable blog writer, she gives it all to us. Add in the duet narration with Shane East as Ian, and the book is magic. He brings in air of class with Ian, with the broodiness. The two are incredible together and made the listen!

Steamy age gap/billionaire standalone story

This is the first book I've listened to/read in the Dirty Rich series and you don't need to have read the others to enjoy this one. I would generally have had an issue with a relationship between a 36 year old/18 year old, but Crystal Kaswell did a good job of portraying the 18 year old as being more mature than her years and she didn't rush into the HEA. I did feel like the contract portion of the story was unnecessary and that the relationship/story would have had enough conflict from the other sources (age, money, stereotypes, the diary).

The narration was fabulous. I always appreciate when there are male and female narrators for the different points of view. It's the first time I've listened to either Vanessa Edwin or Shane East, and I thought their voices worked well together.

I'm interested in listening to/reading more books by Crystal Kaswell, especially after listening to her author's note at the end of this book.

One Steamy Read!

*Received a code in return for honest review*

Excellent narrations as always from my favourite British narrator Shane East and Vanessa Edwin, who is a new female narrator to me. She did an amazing job, impressive male voice and accent. Although this is the fourth book in the series you can read this as a standalone. Interesting main characters and storyline but towards the end I felt that there was not a lot of grovelling from the hero, hey that just my preference I love a one big grand gestures. Another thing is the big age gap which I question their compatibility in the long run, I'm halfway sold. I am not also a big fan of billionaires book you have to sell it hard for me to read and enjoy it. This is one steamy read but it did not give me the full kilig factor I am looking for after I listened to it. It is still an enjoyable listen and given it a 5 stars for it's performance.

Older guy, younger lady

I enjoyed this book. It was long but it kept my attention. HEA. His and her epilogues. I enjoyed the characters, they are intelligent so there is a lot of thinking/analyzing in this book. The narration is great. I recommend this book. This is book 4 in the series. I hope they have 1-3 on audio as well.
