Maybe it's Just Me

I'm really at a list for words. Did I just listen to/read the same book as the other reviewers?! After reading the blurb and the reviews from other listeners, I fully expected to be blown off my feet.

Nope. Did not happen.

The performance was okay. The man was "eh" but the female's narration irked my nerves at times. It's hard to truly blame her as most of the problem was with the writing.

The writing. This book was too long and for nothing. Half of the book could have been eliminated as it served absolutely no purpose to the plot. The idea of the book was good it just included a lot of unnecessary pages. I ended up skipping through some chapters for the first 3/4 of the book in an attempt to reach the end. There were a lot of plot holes as well. I just couldn't get with this book. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the credit. If you have Amazon Unlimited (the book is available for free if you have it) then by all means. Otherwise, save your hard earned money.

An emotionally gripping tale!

Sweet mother of all that's holy!!! This was an absolutely amazing book. It will keep you guessing the whole time. Kellan and Cleo's story is a beautiful, heartbreaking, sexy ride! I don't want to spoil anything so I will just say that Sloth is an absolute MUST READ and Sweet baby Jesus - KELLAN!!!

What was that

After reading the reviews, I thought wow this will be a great book. Not so much, It was way too long and I couldn't finish the book. I skipped most of the chapter, it was too difficult to listen to. Please save your credit, its definitely NOT worth it.

Unexpected, Turbulent, Cathartic

Be patient with the slow setup and confusion at the beginning of this book. It plods through a series of pen pal letters before getting to the live action. Trust that this storytelling device eventually pays off in a huge way. The narrators are perfect and made the story even better. There’s so much depth in this book, and I can’t recommend it enough! I’m still dabbing my tears and nursing an aching heart.

A great find

I only write reviews when I’m truly surprised. This is a beautiful, erotic story. The best of both. I can’t believe it comes with the romance package. Thank you, Ella. You give eroticism a real home.

I would never have....

Had I known what this book was about, I would never have had the emotional strength to even start it. I'm coming up on my 100 book mark with audible and I can say I've never been moved as much to write a review as I have today. The realism of the secret Kellan was keeping, and the subsequent things he and Cleo went through together, is very hard to listen to but it was still worth it. This book is making me have to take a book break for a few days. It's one of those stories to put you in a mood but also makes you happy when you put it down and realize your partner, friends, and family are happy and healthy. But the realism, that's what gets you right in the heart. Great book, wonderful narrators. I loved it but I don't think I can ever listen again.

One of the best books of 2015

Sloth is the most gut wrenching, heart breaking stories I have ever read. I have read it too many times to count. This version is even more amazing if you can believe that.
Cleo and Kellan and their love story is like none you have ever read before.
Buy it, listen to their story and laugh and cry along with the rest of us!
IT IS SO WORTH IT! Swoon!

Emotional

I laughed, cried, and smiled. This is such a great book. The story is beautiful. Highly recommend reading/listening to this book.

Ella fucking James 💧 ♥️

You cannot really give a synopsis of this book because the secrets are so integral to the experience. I can tell you this book is sexy and gritty and at times far too real. This story has 3 parts, part one is a sexy mystery with some dark undertones and hints to the secrets that just make no sense. Part two is hot hot hot BDSM, tantalizing character development and endless questions and answers. Part three has reality smashing down (the type of reality that is most often absent from romance) and the answers to all the mysteries of the story. I can tell you I was crying and yelling “why Ella why would you do this to me” but by then last scene I knew why. You will love this book, it will break your heart. Most of the best parts of life involve both heartache and love and this story is no exception. However I need a break after this story, I will listen to the next book in this series later when my mind and heart are prepared. Thank you for this book and that you for KELLAN!!
