OMG!!!

Wow….. just WOW!!! This has to be one of the best stories I’ve heard in a long time. And that says a lot because I have more than 400 books in my library. The narrators did a phenomenal job and I can’t believe that I have to wait for book 2!!! When is it coming out?!?! I can’t wait. ❤️❤️ if you are on the fence about getting the book. Do it!!! It is totally worth it!!! 😊

Hopeful

While I truly enjoyed the passion behind this story, the ending fell short for me. I know this is a trilogy but this ending seemed so filled with misunderstanding. I’m really hopeful that book 2 will bring clarity and the passion I originally felt. The narration kept this book a live, and the spicy was true to this author. 4/5 story 5/5 performances 4.25 overall.

This audiobook is 🔥🔥🔥

This is the first audiobook in the Impossible Universe Trilogy, and it packs a punch. The emotion that is evoked in this story just pulls the listener down a rabbit hole because you just cannot stop listening. Sebastian left his home because he wanted to be in show business. Until hitting the big time, he was a chauffeur and luckily had a job driving for, Savannah, the wife of his favorite actor. Things get interesting when Savannah begins to take an interest in Sebastian and stumbles upon his screenplay. She takes it to her husband, Adam, along with sharing some other tidbits. The chemistry between the three main characters is HOT and full of passion. Watching them navigate this throuple was intense and was on the way to an all-encompassing love. However, life is not easy and is the bond that the three-share strong enough to stand up to the pressures they face in the outside world. For Sebastian, it was an easy answer but for Savannah and Adam…Ms. Darling has once again used her signature writing style to pen a multilayered storyline with an ending that will have any listener holding his/her breath. Overall, there is never a dull moment as the blending of emotion, steam, angst and drama is palpable. É pura perfezione! (It’s pure perfection!)
The narrators: Shane East, Desiree Ketchum and CJ Mission do an outstanding job bringing this story to life. Their voices blend seamlessly to give the listener an immersive experience that heightened the storyline. Each narrators’ performance perfectly articulated the emotions the characters go through with their own indelible style giving listeners believable/relatable characters and when all is said and done, they give listeners an amazing emotional roller coaster ride.

What an emotional roller coaster

Holy hotness 🥵🌶️ this book packs the heat and all three narrators deliver. 🔥🩷

Sebastian, Savannah, and Adam decide to enter a relation which is always complex. Savannah and Adam’s marriage is in crisis and then walks in Sebastian and he turns things upside down.

Savannah is the princess in the relationship but Adam and Sebastian’s complex relationship has me turning the pages in this one.

The ending left me with a heart split in two but I cannot wait for book 2. Be still my 🩷

Mind blowing performances!

This is book one of what I’m sure will be an epic romance. It absolutely starts off with a bang. These characters are robust and have a multi-layered relationship that is rife with passion, love and eventually emotional upheaval. The storytelling is done in such a way that I had no idea what was coming or when. There are times that I both liked and disliked certain characters, but at the heart of it, I was constantly rooting for Sebastian. There are so many directions this story could take and it has me very excited for the next book.

I devoured this audio in one sitting. The accents had me mesmerized and the emotional performances, especially by the male narrators, were phenomenal in range. That is not to take away from Desireé Ketchum because she played Savannah’s ice queen persona perfectly. I can’t wait to continue this series on audio!!

Heartache and beauty

This story between seb, Adam, and sav, is beautiful but yet heartbreaking. The story didn’t go how i anticipated which I’m hoping means there is more. Either way it was beautifully told. And the connection they shared, the deep rooted desire, and the untold feelings made this listen amazing. Narrators Shane East, CJ Mission and Desiree Ketchum portrayed this exquisite story with so much emotion and talent that made listening to each captivating.

speechless and gut-wrenching

Sebastian is an 18 y.o. Italian man that moves to London to build his life and make his dreams come true, pursuing acting and screenwriting. He lands a job as the private chauffeur for the wife of a famous actor, Savannah and Adam Meyers, and the "shmexual" tension between the two is off the charts! One day Savannah catches Sebastian working on his screenplay while on the job and convinces him to let her read his work, where she instantly loves it. Her praise causes him to snap his control and they have an intense spicy moment in the car.

Soon after, Adam approaches Sebastian with a proposition; to become both their in-house lover while they will help make his screenplay a reality. Sebastian is instantly attracted to them both and says yes. The rest of the story is full of twists and turns, revealing their crippling marriage and all their flaws and hangups that seem to add up as time goes on. But as deeply wounded as they are, their shmexual dynamic is off the charts, and the way the 3 of them connect is 🔥🔥🔥

Honestly.... I'm speechless. This was such an insane rollercoaster, and I feel hollowed out at the end of it all. I can't remember the last time I felt this strongly about the outcome of a story that affected me personally. The book hangover on this one is real and I'm so ready for book 2 like yesterday. Giana Darling's writing is always engaging and stunning. She writes almost poetically, making the story consistently engaging and impossible not to grab at every single heartstring you have. I can't wait for the next book!

The performances on this were fantastic. I've never heard C.J. before and I am beyond impressed with his performance. It was powerful and embodied the youthfulness but wisdom of Sebastian perfectly. Desiree is an incredible performer who portrayed the complexities of Savannah so well. And Shane, as always, left it all out on the field. His portrayal of Adam was engaging and left all the emotions splayed out and raw for the listener to attempt to pick up the pieces afterwards.

WOW. No words...

This audiobook was so good, so good that I resisted finishing it until release day because I wanted to fully immerse myself in the story. That’s how much I was enjoying it.

Now let’s get one thing straight. This book is pure filth, and I say that with love. I knew it was going to be spicy. I knew it was MMF. But I did not expect it to come in that hot, that fast. CHAPTER FOUR. CHAPTER FOUR. Gianna, I knew this book was going to be filthy, but I didn’t think it was gonna get that filthy that quick. I had my audiobook playing while working. I work from home, so audiobooks are my thing, and I had to pause. This book did things to me. Things that are not appropriate for work. I had to stop, take a deep breath, and say, this is a nighttime book. You’ve been warned. This is a nighttime book in the most delicious way possible.

Now let’s talk narrators. I loved all of them, but Shane East. WOW. I have a new favorite narrator, and I’m officially done for. Any time I see his name on an audiobook, I’m one-clicking. No questions asked. I even checked out his Instagram, and his bio says, The Voice You Take to Bed. Sir. SIR. He is not wrong. Not even a little bit. That’s it. That’s the review.

But if you need more, this book had depth. Sometimes, when a book is this spicy, I start wondering if the story is going to hold up, and let me tell you, it absolutely did. The spice level? Off the charts. Haven’t read anything this hot in months. But underneath it all, there was still an actual story, and that’s why I loved it so much.

Reading this gave me major vibes of authors like Sadie Kincaid, K.A. Tucker, and T.L. Swan, so if you love their books, you’re gonna love this one.

Who would I recommend this to?
• If you love filth, aka smut, and lots of it, this book is for you.
• If you don’t mind high heat as long as there’s a solid plot, maybe check the tropes first, but I think you’ll enjoy it.
• If you’re curious about smutty books and want to ease into them, this is a great starting point if MMF is your thing.
• But if you’re not comfortable with smut, this is not the book for you. Just being honest.

As for me? Four-star book, five-star spice, ten-star audiobook experience. No debating, no question. Thank you, Gianna. Thank you, Valentine PR. And thank you, Shane East, for wrecking me in the best way possible.

Now everyone, go listen. No, wait. Read it. No. Read AND listen. You won’t regret it.
