Three Simple Rules by Nikki Sloane
Narrated by Muffy Newton
1st in an interrelated series. Can stand alone but leaves you hanging for the next couple.
4.5 Stars
Some of my book besties recommended The Blindfold Club Series to me many times. I have added it to my sale lists and it’s always been one of those books that I bought but never got to, permanently on my TBR. So when I saw that Three Simple Rules by Nikki Sloane came out on audio, I grabbed it so fast! And let me tell you, there is a reason for my book besties! They never steer me wrong.

First let me start by saying HOLY HOTNESS!!!! This is the hottest book I have heard/read in a long time, and that’s saying a lot. But there was still a great storyline to go with all the hot sex!

Evie is a graphic designer who has been in love with a friend for years.  Her boss is a cold, unfeeling jerk (even if he is hot), but she absolutely loves her job, and has worked her ass off for the past 2 years there. So when she screws up and misprints a job, it’s over $9,000 to reprint it. She knows she will get fired, so she begs her boss to let her cover the costs. The problem? She doesn’t have $9,000 and she needs it right away.

Evie’s roommate Payton is a very sexual person and has been trying to get Evie to work with her at an exclusive blindfold club. This is a place where the women are tied up and blindfolded while strange men go room to room to decide which one they want for the night. The price goes up the more the girl is willing to do. If Evie checked enough boxes, she could get the money in one night.

“I was about to become a whore.”

OMG, I just got a hot flash thinking back to that scene! When the high bidder got her, he immediately set some rules.

“I have rules,” he said. “You don’t get to ask questions, no matter what.” His deliberately slow, indecent rhythm made me crazy with need. “Do you understand?”…
Rule two is you answer my questions, and you have to answer them honestly.”
I could do that, so I nodded quickly.
“The last rule is your body belongs to me, so that means your orgasms are mine. You don’t come without my permission.” His wet tongue dragged from one breast, down the valley between them, and on to the other one, circling the taut nipple.
“There will be consequences if you break any rule.”

The scene was so hot, I swear it was one of the hottest I ever read, but warning, there is a little girl on girl action which didn’t bother me in the first scene. It was hot!

When he decided to remove her blindfold…she was not happy with who she saw. Soon enough though, she was convinced otherwise.

“This authoritative version of him chilled me and yet set me on fire.”

And they are ridiculously hot together. He is so bossy, and while she takes it, she never seems like she is ‘less than’. She loves the dominance as much as he does.



I loved the story and it totally lived up to my expectations, but there was a mild cliffy at the end, that sadly, I will forget before the next comes out on audio. But I will say, this book can stand alone, despite the cliffhanger. It isn’t this couple's cliffy, it is her roommate Payton’s, the heroine in the next book.

I want to mention that there was also a second scene with some f/f/m action that rubbed me the wrong way. I just felt like she was manipulated, plus, he enjoyed it a little too much.

Narration:

I have to say that Muffy Newton was one of the best narrators I have heard. She narrated the whole story, yet the voices she did for other characters were so different! She even did a totally sexy guy. I immediately went to audible to see what else she has narrated, and I was so surprised it wasn’t more, because she is fabulous.

Likes:

• •Unique twist on a common storyline.


• •So freaking hot, like one of the hottest in the last year.


• •A little f/f/m which I rarely read in mainstream romance books.


• •Very addictive.


• •The hero was so dominant.


• •The little graphic design puns.


• •Some funny moments.


• •It wasn’t a cut-and-dry easy relationship, real issues got in the way of their happiness.


• •Evie was a normal, hard working girl with regular problems.


• •The hero was a regular guy, not a millionaire.


• •Amazing narration.

Dislikes:

• •The next isn’t out on audio yet and this one left with a bit of a cliffy for the next couple.


• •Though I really liked the f/f/m, I wasn’t thrilled with the way the second one went down. But it was still hot!


• •She seemed very different in the first chapter or two (kind of a prude) than she turned out to be, it was such a fast switch that gave me whiplash.


• •Not a fan of Payton, I hope I like her better in her book.

The Down & Dirty:

Rating: 4.5 stars, 5 heat, 5+ Narration

A woman sells herself for cash to cover for an expensive mistake she made at work, but the man who buys a night with her is the last person she ever expected. This was a sexy, easy read that, despite the rather sordid initial premise, ended up being a pretty sweet book. There was just enough angst to keep things interesting, but the characters were very level-headed and sorted out all their problems in adult, rational ways.

Spoilers:

I thought Evie forgave Logan a smidge too easily at the end. A lot of stuff hit all at once, and while she did the mature thing and asked for some space, it didn't feel like she took the time to process her feelings. A bit more introspection about what was and wasn't working with their relationship would've been nice.

Two random things I really liked about this book: the humor related to graphic design (Evie and Logan's profession), and the fact that Logan is the boss but not stupidly wealthy. He took money out of his 401k to finance his night with Evie ffs

I'm madly in love with Logan and Evie. Talk about HOT and steamy and dirty and all kinds of wonderfulness.

I just grabbed book 2. OMG! But Nikki Sloane, thank you for these fun characters who didn't annoy me beyond belief.

Blindfold Club, sign me up. I really enjoyed this and I plan to read through it again because I liked it that much. Seriously such a hot read. At one point I started sweating. LOVE IT!

This book is one of the hottest books I've ever read and I've read a lot of smutty books. I really enjoyed it, the storyline keeps you interested and the sexy time is excellent haha :) I would recommend to any romance reader.

No, nope, just NOOO! Remember to never pick up again this series! Went downhill somewhere about chapter 20…!

I expected to hate this book, especially after the (CW: sex work slurs) way sex work was discussed/treated by some from the start. Then it turned utterly delightful, especially the hero—he seemed very unusual in many ways and I absolutely loved him.

There’s a star knocked off for the way the heroine was treated by her best friend (CW for serious dubious consent—at best—that royally pissed me off) even though it was a means to an end (which I also didn’t love, but it worked okay enough in the end).

Also, the money thing—I’d wondered about this all along and didn’t like the way that question was answered. Along with this—while I really appreciated the way Evelyn approached her anger and trust toward Logan, I didn’t like the way he handled certain topics/situations that weren’t revealed til late in the book.

That said, I still absolutely loved Logan and Evelyn both, and especially together—they seemed to really make each other better people.

I enjoyed it. The spice, the relationship, the pacing. All pretty well done.
I just wish there had been some more grovelling from Logan after he lied about the amount of money Evie owed which put her in a position where she had to sell herself when she didn’t want to, and then he screwed up her promotion and then he lied about his lunch with his ex. I don’t know, just feels like he got off a bit too easy in my opinion.

Plus the jump from him saying no relationships to declaring he was her boyfriend was weird. Most definitely could’ve been drawn out a little longer.

But not bad overall.
