 This was kind of too much drama for me. I hated Xeni’s family and the side characters all had very loud personalities and side stories and it was overwhelming, taking away from the romance. There were some cheesy moments weird character traits that seemed like it was trying too hard and weird inconsistencies. It was set in New York and Xeni was from LA but kept saying things only someone from England would say like telling someone they did a “bang up job” for example. 
The kinky  scene was really the only part I enjoyed.  It was realistic with great communication 
Maybe this would have been better not on audio. Definitely a weird choice to have a British man read a predominantly female American POV. He couldn’t really add inflection when he read in his American accent.
