When URL Goes IRL

This is such a fun listen. It’s angsty, sultry goodness. The characters are flawed but lovable and most importantly relatable. It’s easy to see a part of yourself in Eve. She is just a slightly cooler more self-assured version of who I wanted to be at 18. And Ian sexy as he is rich, scarred Ian. He’s just delicious.

This is a slow burn but you get so many sexy moments leading to the climax it’s worth every second of anticipation. It’s the fourth book in a series but reads as a stand-alone so don’t be intimidated.

The narration is sublime. Shane East’s accent can set any headset ablaze. Vanessa Edwin just is Eve. The pair work so well together.

Dye the tips of your hair your fantasy shade, pull your combat boots 🥾 out of the back of your closet, pour a gin and tonic and enjoy the sexy ride!

Dirty and very Desirable!

I love all of Crystal’s books and she gets me hooked on page one! Dirty Desires is probably my favorite book of the Dirty Rich series. Ian Hunt and Eve Miller’s relationship is a slow hot burn- starting with Ian stumbling upon Eve from her online journal site. I loved how raw and honest Eve was in her online journal and it reminded me of when I used to write in one. Eve may only be 18 years old, but she grew up young- struggling to make ends meet for her and her sister and putting her love life on the back burner. Ian is a middle-aged (36) British millionaire with a dirty demanding tone that makes you want to drop your panties and do whatever he says. His heart got broken years ago so he locked up his heart, threw away the key, and prevents himself from any sort of “real” relationship with women. Eve and Ian both peel each other’s layers proving to each other they are worthy of love, desires, and a brighter future. The narrators of this audiobook were perfect and it made this book so much better! I love Shane’s accent and it made all of Ian’s words so much hotter!! This book was so good and I’m already wanting more of Ian and Eve. I mean the extended scene has me super excited to read what happens in Ty’s book!

Ugh

I always read the reviews before getting a book and even often times listen to the sample. I did both for this book, but what.a.waste.of.time!! 60 chapters of same crap and no real feelings. I wouldn’t waste any time on this book. ONLY good part was the people narrating.

Use Credit, Don't buy

Narrator performance was great, but story is too predictable. Characters are too much in their head. Story has no substance.

Ian and Eve

An online Diary introduces Ian to Eve, and he had to have her. A deal, 30 days, then they are done. Her virginity, 30 days, money for school. Eve and her teal hair and combat boots decided all that and Ian too was a good deal. Until she fell. For the Billionaire. The British Billionaire. The narration was oh so sweet from Shane East and Vanessa Edwin, they are such a great pair!

Potential to be better

In my opinion, there wasn’t enough of a story line in this book. It seemed it was just repetitive sex thoughts or sex actions. Sex is fine, as long as there is a story to go along with it. It wasn’t till around chapter 40 that a hint of a story emerged. This is the first book by Crystal Kaswell, that I have listened to, that I haven’t really enjoyed.
Shane East’s narration is amazing! He nailed it. Wish there was more of his voice in this story. 🥵 😏

probably someone else's cup of tea

did you like the black dagger brotherhood series,... this is probably for you... little mix of 50 shades with large age gap too though,... and I dont know,.... not enough depth,... maybe I'll try and read it again another time.

Move over Christian Grey...

Move over Christian Grey...helloooo Ian Hunt!! *fans self*
British businessman, Ian Hunt, is intrigued by the online journal of a woman. He searches for and discovers her identity when she posts that someone has offered to pay her to take her virginity. Ian has no intention of allowing that to happen...after all, he wants that chance. Eve is barely making ends meet and is buried under a mountain of her twin sister’s medical bills. She is seriously considering taking up a doctor on his proposal to take her virginity in exchange for money. Then she meets Ian Hunt...he proposes a 30-day companion agreement in exchange for the sought after virginity. As time goes by, we wonder if either party can walk away at the end. Definitely recommend a read/listen if you love the OMYW trope.
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Very enjoyable read

I enjoyed this book and recommend it. It is a well written story. The character development is excellent. Great narration by Shane East. Vanessa does a good job as the heroine, my only complaint about the whole book is her male voice. She loses her British accent sometimes and sounds too breathy other instances. I wish they had done a duet narration and then, it would have been perfect. I will definitely pick up Crystal’s other books.

Enticing and Steamy Romance!

I loved this enticingly sensual romance. Eve and Ian are so different, in social standing and in age. Ian Hunt is a sexy British tech billionaire and Eve is an 18 yr old entering college, and is drowning in debt while taking care of her sister. She has a blog that she writes her secrets thoughts, and desires that Ian discovers. She is so different from his usual type, but he is drawn to the woman whose words speak to him and he needs to have her. When he finds out she's a virgin, he can't bear to let her give it to anyone else. He offers her a large sum of money for her to spend a month with him and give all her firsts to him. To help her sister and get out from their medical bills, she finally agrees. Ian introduces her to a sensual world of pleasure she never knew existed. They both find a level of intimacy, and desire that extends outside of the bedroom. But no matter how they begin to yearn for more, the expiration date on their passionate affair is fast approaching. They have different lives on different continents but it is the secrets that could really keep them apart for good. I became invested in both Eve and Ian right from the start, thanks in part to the flawless narration by Vanessa Edwin, and Shane East. They skillfully made these characters so clear to me, making me care for them quickly. Their inflections were breathtaking, and their chemistry was palpable as they made me laugh, cry, and swoon. I was completely lost in their storytelling, and I loved every minute of it!
