Publisher's summary

I am the woman men pay thousands of dollars to sleep with. I do what I love and what I'm so very good at.

Then he walks in and drops $30,000. He wants to talk. And kiss. And take me home.

In a single night, this man turns everything upside-down and has me breaking every rule I've lived by to keep men at a distance. I'm about to learn some lessons the hard way.

Don't tease him. Don't give him boundaries. And don't think you get a choice in who you love.

5 stars for the author & 5 stars for the narrator!

10+ STARS are far as I'm concerned!

I didn't think it was possible for this book to be better than book 1 but it really is!! I loved everything about this book!!! On top of the great story line, seriously funny & realistic characters and very little drama, I think this may be the hottest book I've ever listened too. I also think the best thing about this story was the couple loved each other and the way they met and each of their pasts were never an issue. No double standards here.

Payton was a great character because she wasn't a victim. She chose her career and wasn't ashamed of it where normally girls do this because they have no other choice. I loved that about her but I also loved that she knew when it was time to stop and never looked back. She was adventurous and daring with no shame about what she likes and who she was. I love a confident women who is completely comfortable in her own skin.

Now lets talk about Dom.... OMG ladies... He is now my favorite book boyfriend! With his shy moments where he shows his vulnerable side he melted my heart! Then he had his dominant side where he was so hot he melted everything else! I loved this character so hard! I rarely re-read books but I know this one will get read often!

Muffy Newtown is an amazing narrator! She is perfect at single narration because she not only is perfect for the female characters but her male character voices are better then some male narrators I listen too. I will listen to anything she narrates.

Nikki Sloane wrote an awesome book and chose the perfect narrator which made this book 10 stars for me!

Great listen

Not sure I liked it better than Book 1, but it was still an epic Listen that I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked the international flare and the involvement of the club.

Muffy can do no wrong. Her portrayal of both male and female characters is perfect. She seamlessly glides from character to character, making the transition easy but the personalities individual. I love her narration.

THERMO FREAKING NUCLEAR 😍🔥🔥🔥

First off, kudos to Nikki for her ability to write an erotic novel and still keep it interesting! 👏🏼👏🏼 in previous experiences, if a book is HOT then there usually isn't much story going on. I hate that. I don't listen just for the sex, I liste for a good story, and if it has smoking hot sex scenes all the better! This story was beautiful. I absolutely loved it. The connection between these two was palpable and you just wanted them together!!! There wasn't any point in the story that I wanted to miss. No skimming, or zoning out, I loved it all. It's original, and did I mention hot? Yeah like HOOOOOOT. I loved it and can't wait for the next one. This one was even better than the first! I'll definitely be doing a re-listen. Narration was PERFECT!!! Can't go wrong with Muffy Newtown. You NEED

So HOT your ears may burn off!

4.25 stars
Whoa. If you are looking for a super hot read with kink AND story, The Blindfold Club books by Nikki Sloane totally fit the bill. I really loved Three Simple Rules which ended on a bit of a cliffy that was resolved in this one. The thing is, I didn’t really like Payton very much in the first book, and Three Hard Lessons is Payton’s book, so there was an obstacle to get over right from the start.

Payton is a high-end prostitute at The Blindfold Club, and she loves what she does. She loves sex and has no shame about it. So much so that she even goes into work on a night she isn’t scheduled to work. Lucky her, a client comes in and drops $30,000 for a night with her, and he just wants to talk and hold hands!

“I’m going to be thinking about this, every night for the next year. Every night it will be you.”

Dom lives and works abroad and hasn’t been with a woman in about a year. He has to go back for another year, so this night’s memories need to hold him over for a long time.

As soon as they touched, they both knew this was a little different. So much so that it caused some major problems for both of them, but also left her open to accepting a proposition from Dom.

I really loved Dom, he was alpha and commanding, yet shy and sweet at the same time, and I loved how he was willing to learn more about things that she might like, and he took the learning very seriously.

There were some super hot, kinky scenes, including more f/f and groups. There was a LOT of sex, yet there was still a unique and different storyline happening.

Payton had so many rules built up to guard her heart, and I loved watching Dom knock each and every one down.

“I can’t make you say you love me.” He blinked and the aqua in his eyes darkened. They filled with determination. “But I can make you feel it.”

Likes:

•A different and unique story.
•Totally hot, unique and kinky sex.
•Despite there being a lot of sex, there was still story.
•Location!
•I loved how Dominic went out of his way to learn things she may like.

Dislikes:

•Though she grew on me, I never really fell for Payton.
•I would have liked to “see” more sights.

Narration:
Muffy Newtown/Erin Mallon is a great narrator though she often seems a little sad to me. But it seems that 90% of the books I read are either her or Andi Arndt/Elena Wolfe, and I would love to hear some new voices. Still, she did a great job.

The Down & Dirty:
I would definitely say that this is one of the hottest series I have read that doesn’t take place in a BDSM club. I love that the stories themselves are more than just sex, yet hot, kinky, unique sex was a huge part of them. There is group sex and f/f sex and BDSM and all kinds of yumminess. I started this book not liking Payton, the heroine, but she mostly won me over in this installment. I really loved Dominic and his sweet but alpha ways. What I really enjoyed most was how unique the location and story was! If you are looking for a hot, kinky, sexy book that has an actual story, I highly recommend this series, and I look forward to grabbing the next!

Hot and dirty!

This hot and dirty book was a great listen. This book was the second in series which I enjoyed as much as the first book. The story line was interesting and the sex was hot. The narration was good as well.

Addictive, sexy & so very good! A+

I could not put it down! This audiobook is so amazingly performed by Muffy Newtown that I am begging for the rest of the series. The writing is so good with a very well developed storyline, characters with so much chemistry and the overall heat factor is nuclear. This is a series that just begs to be done and experienced on audio. Loved it!!

Kept me up!

This book is non-stop excitement from beginning to end. Watching the way the story blooms seems natural and panty wetting.

50 shades but not

If you are looking for a direct continuation of the last book, you will be disappointed. This book picks up where book 1 left off and ventures into other characters. Can we get some story with the porn? I'm only slightly complaining. The porn is written decently and the narrator does a good job. I was hoping for more story tho, but I guess this series isn't about the story. I also don't know that it's about romance either. I've listened to a lot of harem stories, harem tales usually include a decent amount of plot and story. fans of this series like porn literature.
