Glad I got the chance to listen

I received an ARC of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This is so different than what I normally read or listen to. The narrative was great with an authentic accent. The story although a short whirlwind was an amazing, steamy HEA.

I will look forward to hearing more from this author and am thankful to get this opportunity!

Not Horrible, Not Great

I feel I need to justify my two-star rating. The story wasn’t bad; it just wasn’t that good. It was disjointed and switched between the two main characters’ point-of-view without much clarity. It probably doesn’t help that this is such a short story. I’ve read plenty of short stories that pack an amazing punch, so my feelings have nothing to do with the length. This is the first time reading this author and if I try any additional titles, I’ll hope the story is better developed. This is also my first time with this narrator. I felt he did a good job and brought the story to life.

A Desi Got Me: Raj

Love the book but too damn short. I wish and I wish it was longer in the story telling and I want know how his brother died, and what the story about his story and do he more brother and what their story.

Short erotic story

This was a short hot story about a prince and the girl he loved and married

Quick erotic listen

Audible. Also available via KU.

A Desi Got Me is a 90 minute short story. Raj is Indian royalty studying at University when his brother dies catapulting him into becoming the crown prince. He is in love with a commoner, Priya, and fears his elevation in status will destroy their ability to marry. This is absolutely erotica, there are multiple sex scenes and they are graphic. While definitely insta-love Raj and Priya are a sweet couple.

I think the biggest stumbling blocks for me were: a. the fact that some parts are told in flashback or referenced as past events AND b. that 90% of this is from Raj's POV, but randomly a sentence or even paragraph will be from Priya's POV. Both meant I spent too much time having to re-listen or stop and figure out what was going on. The comprehensive description of the horses breeding was peculiar and unnerving.

While David George has an incredibly sexy voice/accent ~ he wasn't always consistent in differentiating Raj & Priya which also muddied trying to connect with the story. Their whispers (sex scenes) were identical.

I still give this 3 stars ~ a quick erotic listen for less than the cost of a credit.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Desi

A fairytale come true. A prince falls for a commoner and decides to follow his heart's desire and give up the crown. Check out what happens. Priya, his bride was a bit dramatic with her request not to hurt her during sex and fainting??? What a deflowering!!! lol! The narrator was good. I voluntarily listened to this and am giving an honest review.

A quick adult fairytale

Wishing on a star, sometimes comes true. Raj is a crowned prince and looking for his princess. Priya is realistic and knows that wishes do not come true. She is not a dreamer, but yet she desires a certain prince. Battling family loyalty, Raj and Priya get together and heat these pages up. I liked Priya's realistic views on life. It gave her more depth than just any princess. I could relate to her self doubt. I have always loved fairytales, and this one was just as enjoyable.

David George narrated this very well. I enjoyed hearing the story from Raj's point of view. David was able to narrate Priya as I imagined her. His female voice was smooth and easy to listen to. This was my first listen to David George and I look forward to hearing more from him.
