*Spoilers*

Listened to this and the first issue is the narrators over exaggerated accent, second is the meek  luxe for the FMC.
Pretty corny, and ridiculous ending. 
A week of seeing each other, a three-some, a stupid (and I mean really stupid) fight, immediately into love and a proposal. Definitely falls into the “what did I just read” category.

I can definitely tell that this was written almost twenty years ago. The casual misogyny wasn’t cute. Also, for a short-story tagged as “erotica” it took a long time for the two main characters to actually have a sex scene. Not only that, but the third act breakup was so unnecessary

This story was hot and entertaining. Things happen pretty quickly and it is a short one but was pretty entertaining. Luke overhears a conversation that Gracie is having with her best friend about some of her fantasies and what she really wants and it turns him on. It gives Luke the push and perspective that he needs to ask Gracie out and start setting something up to fulfill her fantasies as well as getting her to open up to him and start to build a relationship. The story is hot and it has a little bit of kink with some control, tying up, and m/f/m. The story was entertaining and hot and great if you aren't looking for something deep but something quick and hot.
The narrator did a good job with the story.
