Immersive. Simply Perfection.

Between the engaging story and seamless narration from Shirl Rae, I got so immersed in this audiobook! With murder, mystery, H-O-T sex scenes, and ballet, I was hooked from the first chapter! The narration only added to that, with differentiating tones for each of the characters that never came off as forced and never distracted from the story. I first read this book in ebook form. The main character is so relatable (don’t worry, I swear I have no urge to kill anyone) and even more so in audio form with the conversational tone Shirl uses. I loved how Kitty Thomas used her knowledge of the ballet world to create a story that just felt so raw. And those sex scenes?! Wow! I swear, just listening to them raised the temperature in the room! Really, the combination of, in my opinion, Kitty’s best work and an immersive narration from Shirl, this audiobook was perfection!!!

This audio was PERFECTION

Let me say this loud so the people in the cheap seats can hear, this author is AMAZING. This author is one of a kind. This author blows me away every single time I read her books. I read this book when it came out and having now listened to it, it was like falling in love for the first time all over again. I LOVED the main characters. I LOVED the little one liners. I LOVED the narrator and I am happy to find out she is narrating the next book for Kitty. Standing ovation for this author and this narrator. I cannot wait for the next book to read and the next book to listen to. Absolutely stunning as usual. 5 stars isnt enough but thats all I have to work with.

Perfection not only in words but in sound as well

I absolutely loved this book when I read it, but listening to this lovely narrator bring the story to life with her words was amazing! Dark erotica books are so hit miss with Audible narrators, sometimes I cringe listening to them othertimes I fall in love with the characters voices. This book is definitely the later with it's narrator doing a perfect job of making the emotions clearly heard in her words but not overly done. This book keeps you guessing with all its mystery and intrigue and the narrator will draw you in as the story plays out ensuring this is an audible book you will want to listen too time and time again!

Perfection

Wow, this book is phenomenal. I truly enjoyed reading and listening to this story. It’s the perfect title for this book of dancing in the dark. I love how Cassia finds herself drawn to her blackmailers voice slowly. What I truly find more intriguing is how Sebastian and Brandon surprised Cassia . I have to say it was the highlight and the twist that had me feeling like Cassia. Above all I do find that Brandon, Sebastian and Cassia all complete each other.

I love this!

It has been a while since I have read one of Kitty Thomas's books, and this brought me back to the same thrill I had while reading the others!

Not sure what I was expecting. Not sure how I feel

So I struggled with all the Ballet terminology. It completely took me out of the story. The entire time I was wondering how this was going to conclude and I was definitely shocked. I failed to fall in love/lust with the characters and I'm glad this was a short listen. The narrator did a decent job, but I felt sometimes that I was being read to and the acting suffered.

Perfection

This is my first book by Kitty Thomas but it definitely won't be my last. Perfection sucked me in right from the very beginning all the way until the end. It had just the right amount of suspense, danger, intrigue and hotness. I loved everything about it and can't wait for more of Kitty's books to come out on audio. Shirl Rae did an amazing job bringing this story to life.

Great story!

Let me start with, I've already read the book. I already knew what was going to happen and how it was going to end. I normally 'listen' to books via the text to speech function on my Kindle, which is how I experienced Perfection the first time around. Now I am popping my Audible cherry by listening to a book that is actually narrated. The difference is... What am I saying? There is no difference. I may never go back to Text to Speech!

A ballerina in a less than stellar marriage, offs her abusive husband, gets caught and now looks to be blackmailed into meeting up with a stranger. Hmmm… Got to admit, the very beginning of the book after Cassia has done the dirty deed, I may have been a bit true crime giggly. Then I sobered up and just lost myself in the story. I found myself thoroughly enjoying all the aspects of the ballet bits as well as the situation Cassia finds herself in. Who is the blackmailer? What could he want from her? Not money so the obvious next thing is…but why and better yet, why Cassia?

As the beauty of the story continues, I found myself lulled into a false since of contentment. That is until TADA! heart stopping moment. The showstopper that had my jaw the floor and scrambling back for a fast re-read even before I finished the book. What? What?! I…WHAT?!?! 0.o

Now back to previously having read the book. The difference between reading a book for the first time then listening to an audiobook is my preconceived notions of what I think each character sounds like. The narrator, Shirl Rae, did a fine job of matching the essence of the feel and emotion of Cassia. I struggle a bit when she spoke in her version of Cassia’s (for lack of a better name) blackmailer. This in no way reflects on Ms. Rae’s narration but instead goes back to my preconceived notions. Had I been experiencing this book with all its Whats! and OMGs! for the very first time, I would have undoubtedly enjoyed it in all its…Perfection.

Great ebook!

I always get excited about a new Kitty Thomas story and absolutely loved experiencing Perfection as an ebook. It had the wonderfully complicated storyline one comes to expect and the narration was so well done! How well an audio book can make or break one’s enjoyment and I was extremely pleased.

Cassia has the perfect life when viewed from the outside world, but her abusive marriage made each and every day difficult. She thought she finally had freedom, until a mysterious man blackmails her. Soon she finds herself doing everything Master tells her, including things she never imagined she would be willing to do.

Perfection!

Wow! This was a brilliant story!! It started off with a bang and never let up. It was beautiful, hot, elegant and forbidden all rolled in to one incredible book! I couldn't put it down once I started it. It was absolute perfection!!

And now let's talk about the narration shall we. Shirl Rae did such a fantastic job with this book! I loved this book when I initially read it, but it was even better listening too it. Shirl really brought the story to life.
