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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Terrible

What would have made Safe With Me: The Complete Series better?

This was the worst book I have ever listened to. I’ve listened to a lot of books and this book was juvenile and disjointed. I get that it was meant to be sexy but it was anything but that. The storyline was just so so bad. I would never recommend this book to anyone, it was terrible.

Would you ever listen to anything by Shaina Richmond again?

NO

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Muffy Newtown and Lee Samuels ?

Not sure if I would but I would, they were NOT good in narrating this book. It simply could have been the nature of the book but I did not enjoy there narration.

What character would you cut from Safe With Me: The Complete Series?

The strange random college friends that just made this book more implausible. The silly girls were portrayed as ridiculous.

No Slut Shaming!

I didn’t read the description of this book. It was a complete series so I just decided to listen to the audiobook.

I really enjoyed the narration. I’m a fan of Susie, she does whatever she wants but I was definitely Team Tyler.

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.
