A true story stranger than any fiction could be!

Revisado: 03-04-18

It is a true crime story covering over 20 years. The producers spent 3 years, up to the present, interviewing the main suspect who has never been charged as well as many of those who have each presented sometime totally opposite versions of the same event. The Irish police involved in this case make the Key Stone Cops look like Sherlock Holmes! They have been totally corrupt and have turned the the community into paranoid and lying people. If this were fiction, no one would believe it. Truth stranger than fiction for real! I highly recommended you listen to this audio,

This woman has endured and survived more than any 1000 people should ever have to confront. I hope she finds peace and someone to truly love her in the manner she deserves. Prayers for you, brave woman!

Don't let this hot book fry your reading device

Revisado: 11-04-14

If you could sum up Beauty and the Beast: An Erotic Re-Imagining in three words, what would they be?

Red Hot Love! I read the print version of this wonderful story a couple of times already (See some of my original review below). But first some observations about the Audible version. The narrator did an absolutely excellent narration. She did a very convincing Belle, which gave a better understanding of Belle's feelings and character. And her male voices were believable. I completely forgot that one female voice did all the voices--the quality of a great narrator.

If you put on headphones and lay down without any distractions, you can see the story as a movie in your mind. Also you may hear important details you missed reading the print version. I know I missed a few important things after reading the print story twice. You cannot skip the details to get to the "good" parts. You have to hear it all.

And most importantly, I felt the same anxiety or urgency or delight from the first 2 reads,
only more intensely while listening. This is a sign of a great author and narrator.

Fantastic work by Shoshanna and her narrator. Below is part on my original review of the ebook.

If I had one challenge it is how an other wise intelligent Belle could be so naive about the Beast. I yelled at her a few times! LOL But we must remember this is a fairy tale, and was originally written in the 1700's. Belle's brain and heart was on overload with everything that was happening to her and around her. In the real world today, a person might think she/he was simply going insane. So Belle gets a pass.

I’m only vaguely familiar with the story of Beauty and the Beast. Which I think was a very good thing. I was able to read Shoshanna’s wonderful version without comparing it to anything that I might have read before. I read the entire story in one sitting--twice.

I have read many of Shoshanna’s books as she is one of my favorite authors, and this one is quite different from most of her other books that I’ve read. It is a retelling of a fairy tale, but an erotic version for adults. Of course the expected fairytale ending is there; however, there is a twist at the end that was quite unexpected and extremely satisfying for the reader.

This is a charming, well-balanced version of the story, with an appropriate amount of erotic content. There is no gratuitous sex, only what could be expected in order for Beauty to truly fall in love with the Beast--and the love scenes are hot. Don't let it burn your listening device!

Shoshanna, another great literary triumph for you and for all your loyal readers! Thanks dear lady for sharing your great talent with us!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Beauty and the Beast: An Erotic Re-Imagining?

The unexpeted twist in the last few pages-- totally a unique and wonderful ending!

What does Christine Padovan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voices. She gives a different feel for Belle especially. Her male voices are well done. By listening (I have read the book twice) you hear details you may miss reading the print version. You cannot skim to get to the good parts! When you do that, you will miss what may seem to be unimportant at the time, but may be crucial to understanding the outcome. I had to resist the urge to get to the love scenes and the wonderful ending. But I found gems along the way that I missed, even reading it twice. She did an outstanding narration.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I read the ebook twice in one sitting. I had to divide this up into 2 sessions, but all in the same 24 hour period.

Any additional comments?

Shoshanna has a number of her other books on Audible. If you own the ebook, you get a great discount on the Audible version. I am now listening to several of her burning hot stories that I first read!

Another winner for Shoshanna. Very HOT and SEXY

Revisado: 07-13-14

What made the experience of listening to The Man Who Holds the Whip the most enjoyable?

This is one of my favorite Shoshanna stories. I read this as an ebook when it came out. I enjoyed it even more on the Audible version. The narration is excellent. She brings Grace and Ian to life--especially Grace with the intonations that you do not get in a written version. Her thoughts and dialogue gives an entirely enhanced understanding of Grace's journey from a non-existent vanilla sex life to a woman who can be a "regular" person by day and submissive to Ian at night.

Ian left her 3 years before because of his proclivity to BDSM sex play and he thought Grace would not understand. He was probably right then, but not now! He texts her to not contact him anymore, but puts a hyper-link to a site that features his bondage movies, thinking he would scare her off for good. He did not! She looks at a couple and she shows up at his studio the next day saying she wants an audition as one of Ian's bondage girls, but mostly to see Ian.

There are only 2 actual BDSM scenes. But the sex scenes between Grace and Ian are very HOT and have just the right amount of description of the hot sex and the emotions Grace feels--everything for the the first time. This is my perfect mix for a BDSM romance. I love all of Shoshanna's books. But this audio version is one of my favorites. Her stories have a great mix of hot sex and emotional growth. And she can do it without the characters spending hundreds of pages with their struggles.

[In Fifty Shades there was very little actual BDSM, but the author took 1600+ pages mostly with Christian's struggles. It was important to understand where he came from, but it could have been done in 400 pages before you have an HEA ending.] Shoshanna can accomplish the same thing in 100 to less than 300 pages! You enjoy the sexy growth without being bored to death with hundreds of pages of struggles. Too many authors (even some of my favorites) spend 60 to 70 % of the book with the struggles before anything good happens. Shoshanna is a master of mixing the right amounts of all the important elements.
