When friends-with-benefits pushes the boundaries of the heart, things get messy Preacher’s daughter Kelly has a no-strings arrangement with construction worker Joe. They take turns fulfilling each other’s sexual fantasies. Kelly craves rough treatment, and on her first turn, Joe more than delivered. Now it’s his turn to get exactly what he wants. Kelly is ready to be Joe’s fantasy girl, but when he pushes her limits in unexpected ways, she must decide whether their arrangement is worth the sacrifice. If she gives Joe what he wants, she risks losing her heart.
Mira dreams of a life where hairy-chested, foul-mouthed pool men serve cocktails while she reads in the embrace of a shady hammock. Her reality looks more like errands, carpooling, sneaking in writing time when she can, and snuggling with her husband and kids after a regular-old day in the Pacific Northwest.
Sex is sacred. It’s also fun. That’s why Mira writes smut with feeling. In her perfect world, every woman who wants it would have access to entertaining, titillating, thought-provoking stories in an environment free of shame.
Some gals like new shoes as a reward for a job well done. Mira prefers reviews and comments from readers. As long as they have arch support.
Getting Messy by Mira Stanley is book three in the Dirty Minds Series that I listened to on audio narrated by Sean Crisden.
Mira does a great job with the storyline. It just pulls you in and you have to know what is going to happen with Joe and Kelly in this installment. I enjoyed that the book switched between both of their points of views. It really helps you get in to the characters head.
Sean did an amazing job narrating. I love his deep gruff voice for Joe and he does a great voice for Kelly. It made it really easy to keep up with the storyline. I look forward to listening to more of his work in the future.
Warning the book does in on a cliffhanger but book four Watch Me is released in print form.
Getting Messy by Mira Stanley is the 3rd book in the Dirty Minds series. This story continues where the previous book left off and although a short read, the author continues to pull us in with the storyline and I was hooked until the end following along on this journey with Joe and Kelly. I love how we get to learn a bit more about these two characters in this story and the dual POV gives us a direct look into their minds and feeling at the point in time. This story was steamy and entertaining and I enjoyed it. The novel ended in a cliff-hanger and I can't wait for the next book in the series. I listened to the audio version of this novel which was narrated by Sean Crisden. He again did a marvelous job with the characters and I especially loved his portrayal of Joe. I really enjoyed listening to him narrate this novel as he really did bring the story to life. #AudiobookObessionReviewer
Getting Messy is part 3 in the Dirty Minds series and may be the hottest one yet! I dont know how Mira does it, but she somehow manages to out-do herself with each book in this series!!! This one delves even deeper into the minds of Kelly and Joe. Book 3 introduces us to Kelly's family and goes a little more in depth with the relationship between Joe and his mom. I love how each book in this series not only gets hotter, but also reveals a little something more about each character. I devoured this book and cannot wait to get the next!!! But be warned, book 4 is not available on audible yet!!
Sean Crisden yet again knocked it out of the park with his narration on this book! I dont know how he manages to go from a deep, sexy male voice to sweet, innocent female voice and back in 2 minutes flat!
Insane how the story is progressing! I am invested now and need more! The one thing I want to restate is that I feel these could have been condensed to one book. I do get why it was done this way though. I really like the story! I'm shocked I do, but I do! I want to read the next one!
The characters are pretty impressive still too. I was hoping that I would get to see more of Rico in this one with him having a part at the ending of the second book. I was disappointed there. But there are some hints that he might have more of a role in the fourth book! We shall see!
The narrator is still fantastic as well! I want to go find all the books he's narrated before and listen to them all. He has a very good voice. He has quickly made h8is way to the top of my favorites list for sure! He definitely pulled me into the story!
I strongly suggest you listen to this series from the beginning. They are really not stand alones and you will miss so much fun and back story. In Getting Messy, we meet up with Joe and Kelly and dive deeper into their story. Each installment brings more light to their romance and more fun to our ears. Kelly and Joe are fulfilling each other's fantasies. This brings so much flirty fun to the story. I was hooked from the first installment and I cannot wait for even more.
Sean Crisden keeps this book fun and sexy with his narration. I love his ability to keep the characters consistent and easy to follow. Sean has the perfect voice for Joe. His female voice for Kelly is smooth and not forced. The transitions between characters is smooth and easy to follow along. I hope Sean continues with this series.
This serial just keeps getting better and better! I love taking this ride with Kelly and Joe. This one gets us moving on their new arrangement, each picking their respective dates. A little family interaction causes some heartache and add Rico the roommate to the mix, and we have chaos coming. What I truly love about this, is the way in each episode we get know Joe and Kelly just a little more. It's a lot of fun to get the morsels of information and see how they mold together. The story is sexy, fun, and the story line very entertaining. Sean Crisden, as usual gives us a performance that is music to our ears. Love it and can't wait for #4!
I love this story!!! I would have preferred it all in one book as I prefer longer listens... but that doesn’t change the fact that the story is excellent and well worth the listen!
A visit to a sex club is more than they thought it would be.... what’s gonna happen now!? The next time it’s Joes choice... will it work as intended??
Well, Kellyi is trying to put distance and walls back up to keep her friends with benefits rules in place. But Joe is having none of that. Rico gives her a suggestive idea to go to a s*x club for her turn with Joe. But Rico decides to make a cameo and things are building to the next book for a confrontation. Can't wait!
It's so very comfortable listening to Sean Crisden now that I am purely concentrating on the character voices he is portraying.
Ohhhhhhh Joe, just... Everything I want to say is a spoiler, so it's really difficult. This book moves the story forwards, and where it ends up...I think I know where the next book is going, but I need to listen to it to make sure.
The sexy shenanigans continue with Joe and Kelly. She doesn't want to lose her heart. this supposed to be friends with benefits. Joe has other ideas and a plsn. Fun Flirty, sexy this is not a standalone. Sean Crisden captures all emotions and voices. His sarcastic, deep voice, emotions, made it this story a fun story to listen to. 🎧audiobookobsessionreviewer 🎧
Lots of spicy and you finally get to see more of the FMCs backstory and why she acts the way she does.
The roommates actions irked me since he is suppose to be the MMCs best friend. He didn’t have to tell Joe what she was saying, just a heads up that they talk.
Regardless, next installment is on its way to being downloaded.
Falling for these great characters. Love Joe being a bad boy but great guy. More great steamy scenes in book 3, but the ending has my imagination running wild. Can't hardly wait to listen to book 4. The narrator does another outstanding performance. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
