Safe With Me: The Complete Series

What a surprise listen!!

A few reviews mentioned this book was geared toward a younger group... the characters are in their 20s. Sometimes they are immuture but I still liked this book. I knew this book would be a very hot listen... I didn't expect the layer's of depth. I'm glad I gave up a credit for it. The narrator's were a bonus to the book. They did a great job!

Great Writer!!! Wish Audible had more like this!!

If you could sum up Safe With Me: The Complete Series in three words, what would they be?

3 HOT Sex Scenes... intense love story... on the down side... poorly done ending... not the ending I'd hoped for... abrupt.

Have you listened to any of Muffy Newtown and Lee Samuels ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great Narration by Muffy... good male impersonation

No thanks!

What disappointed you about Safe With Me: The Complete Series?

I actually didn't mind the first 1/3 of the book. Typical new relationship with drama and suspense. It changed quickly into a book that wasn't for me shortly after that though. Not a fan of drug use, voyeurism and abuse. Some scenes were so overly descriptive that I had to forward through them and the Halloween party chapter was so long and tedious that I stopped listening to the book period at that point. I purchased this book on a whim and regret it. While I found that the narrators did a great job with presenting it, I would most definitely NOT recommend it.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I found for the most part that I was annoyed with the cyclical nature of the protagonists and found the change in writing from to the point to overly descriptive frustrating. It's like the scenes were expanded just to make the book longer which served no purpose to the storyline. This is the first book that I truly had no desire to complete.

Interesting view

This was purchased on a whim. I found it interesting and at times disturbing. The voices at times were a little confusing but otherwise not a bad read/listen

ZZZZ ...

Any additional comments?

The whole book through I keep waitng for something to happen. I find the characters annoying and the "erotic episodes" repetetive and nothing special at all. In the last chapters it gets a bit more interesteing, but only a little bit. Could possibly appeal to a younger reader. For me (in my 40's) it is just boring.

Long; Mostly juvenile with a lot of sex

With all of the explicit sex in the book, I certainly don’t mean that this book is for young people AT ALL! But, even though the H & h are in their mid 20s, they act very immature or very young, not centered and with wisdom that comes with age and experience. So the book isn’t bad, but, as a 40+ year old, it didn’t work for me. The angst and drama were of the very early adult sort. It’s likely because they were still undergrad students, though they were older. Another problem was that the immediate love was supposedly based on a “connection,” but that connection was, generally, only stated never shown. So it was mostly unconvincing and ultimately ended up being all about the sex which, again, is immature and not actually love at all. The book is broken up into 4 parts; it’s long. So, once the rosy part of the relationship shifts, some of the immature nature recedes. The one good part about it being so long is that you get a chance to see most of the relationship develop, though the book still could’ve been a bit briefer. I ended up fast forwarding a lot during the last two parts and didn’t seem to miss any critical part. It was good that there were two narrators, but I think the female narrator, b/c of her easy pacing, did a better job with all of the drama. The h’s mystery, once revealed, was not surprising, at least not most of it, given the hints we get along the way. The ending worked well.

Sadly Disappointed

Unfortunately this was a complete disappointment. Subject matter immature. Shallow characters with poor impulse control and decision-making skills (all of them). The closer to the ending, the more ridiculous the story became. Hard to believe that this was written by a woman. I'm an avid reader so I kept holding out hope, but this was a waste of time. The only things that kept me engaged were the narrators.

Loved it!!

I wasn’t hopeful that this was going to peek my interest, but it did. Got the full book 25 hours and I loved it! Most definitely recommend this book.

Terrible Voice Acting

I read the book and enjoyed it for the most part. Really looked forward to hearing voice actors bring it alive. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. The female actor (actress?) played Susie very inconsistently. Sometimes she had a southern accent, sometimes not. Sometimes she did in the beginning of a sentence only to lose it at the end. Is there nobody overseeing this performance and critiquing for consistency? She also had a tone of voice which made Susie sound vacant and whiney. Completely took me out of it. It's a shame really because the story and characters are quite interesting.
