Definitely Kinky
A Quartet of Pleasures
By: Annabel Joseph
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Ava Lucas, Teddy Hamilton, Connor Crais
Series: A Quartet of Pleasures, Book 1

A Quartet of Pleasures is exactly that. Each segment builds on the next leading to a crescendo of ultimate pleasure. Ruby is part of a string quartet. Playing together for five years, you would think you know your co-workers well. When they play at a wedding where the guests have a kinky proclivity, Rudy finds out there are different facets of each of her friends. Ethan is her first dive into sensuality and rope play. Next we have Jonathan, and with him she gets a taste from a sadist. And lastly she has Steve who enjoys a little roughness. Our quartet ends with a birthday present Ruby will love. The Symphonic Shorts are sensual, erotic and create a feeling of love. The characters are fantastic. I love Ruby and her curiosity. Each man has a different way with her, but all care for her. It's beautiful and flows like a symphony.

The multi cast narration of this book is utterly fantastic. Each character has the perfect voice. Ava Lucas as Ruby has a sultry voice and she finds the perfect feelings as Ruby experiences her new sexuality. The men could not be better. Connor Crais, Jason Clarke and Teddy Hamilton, each delving into the personality of their respective character, finding what makes them tick and bringing it to the surface with Ruby. Amazing carting and a performance not to miss.

fast-paced
Four connected short, very steamy stories about Ruby, the only female in a string quartet, exploring different forms of kink with her fellow quartet members. 
Not much plot if you know what I mean 🤣 

Listened to the audiobook and the narration is 🔥🔥🔥 (as expected with Teddy Hamilton, Connor Crais, and Jason Clarke narrating the male characters...)

  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

There are some weird lines drawn in these, but it knows what it's about and I appreciate that. Also, it's very much not the point here, but the way they treat their instruments is spot on.
