Deliciously Sinful Liaisons AUDIO BOOK by L.M. Mountford – Review by Alexandria Richard

4/5 Stars

This selection of stories lives up to its title. Not only are these shorts sexy as hell, they’re sinful; including hidden identities, forbidden romance, friends-to-lovers, cheating, age gap, FFM, babysitter, paranormal, and more romance/erotica tropes. A few of these stories are presented as introductions of Mountford’s other books. This collection is not to miss for those who want to explore their naughty side in small bites.

I really liked the narrator. She was easy to listen to and had great inflection. I would gladly listen to her narration again and again. One downside to the audiobook is that the recording wasn’t the best quality; you could hear background noises at times and there was a slight echo.

Breakdown of each story:
Broken:
A tease of a story that will continue in Shattered. I do enjoy a book that starts off grabbing your attention, so long as there’s a reason for it, and here there was. I enjoyed the story buildup. The sex was important to the story but it was to describe the relationship between Vickie and Jake rather than it being the sole focus of the story. A great beginning that will have me eagerly searching for the whole book.

Just once:
A short story that can either be read as a one and done, or can continue in the story Just Friends. This one was more about the sex rather than a full story, granted it being an into of a full story would certainly whet the appetite.

Valentine’s Misadventures:
Now titled Reckless when looking at Mountford’s stand alone books. Reads more like the beginning of a story, and I hope so because I really enjoyed hearing about Luke and Sophie, and how they’re on the run from her Mafia father.

Together in Sydney:
Another short story that reads like the beginning of a novel. I really enjoyed this story, getting to know about the past and rekindling of a high school friendship. The sexual tension is well built upon, and doesn’t feel like it’s the sole focus of the story, but rather an aspect of this relationship growing

Training Tracy:
As the title suggests this is a story about training a young woman for a sexual experience. There’s so much sex in this one, though it does come with a backstory. This is a FFM, swinger’s story. I can only give 2 stars to this story. I can’t explain why I didn’t like it, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

Blood Lust:
One might think this is just another vampire story, but as someone who has read tons of vampire stories I liked the uniqueness of the FMC in this one. We hear Lucien looking for prey to devour when he comes across Kate, who has her own secret “mission”. Upon discovering Lucien’s biggest secret Kate is thrust into a whole new world.

Sweet Temptations:
First part of a 3 part story; this one about the babysitter. Sets up the rest of the stories well. One of the most blatant examples of cheating in this book.

DSL also includes a sneak peek at The Boss’ Daughter, the second part of the Sweet Temptation series.
