While Scandalous was a good book, I'm not 100% sure what it was actually about. Saigon is a defense attorney by day and a paid male escort by night. Sex is his craft and he gets paid very well for it. His clients were interesting to say the least. Especially, Dionne. I'm still not sure if I liked or hated her. The family drama keeps the storyline interesting. Saigon has a rather toxic relationship with his twin brother. These two take competing with each other to a whole nuthat level. I was giving Chad the side eye throughout the entire book. I just knew he was going to do something dirty or set Saigon up some kind of way. Especially, after the bomb he dropped. So, after everything they did to each other, I was more than surprised Saigon and Chad were able to mend their relationship. As always, Emmanuel Ingram did a phenomenal job narrating. Scandalous was a quick read filled with titillating sex scenes that will have you begging for more. This was my first book by Nikki Michelle and it did not disappoint. I look forward to reading more from her.

This was an introduction for me to this author....This was a quick steamy short....Saigon was the bad boy & Chad was the good brother....Low Key Both Brothers were a mess....I'm interested to see if the author gives us more....I'm definitely here for it. Emmanuel was outstanding narrating the entire cast of characters and there's definitely some characters in this story....

Scandalous indeed! This is my first read/listen of this author and let me tell you something. This is why I encourage people to broaden their kindles because this right here was something else and so so good. It was erotic, mysterious, dark and borderline deviant that it has me wondering what’s next, cause I need more. The narration by Emmanuel Ingram was perfection. Really enjoyed it and will be reading and listening to more from this author.

The narrator was amazing!!! This book gave me what I needed, a little spice, chaos, and unexpected yet, timely twists. Saigon is the man; an attorney during the day and a male escort at night. How about that for a plot twist? This man is the definition of BDE at its finest. But, he had some layers that the author tapped into. I welcomed the spice but getting to know why Saigon was like he was with women, was a pleasant surprise. I was interested in the dynamics between Saigon and his twin brother, Chad. The author happened to simultaneously make me dislike Chad and feel bad for him. I liked that the brothers were able to make amends in the end. Out of all the women, Dionne was my favorite because she understood the assignment and owned Saigon in her own way. I was here for the plus-size representation, also! Steamy read!! 🥰

Let's just say that when the Audible reached the end I screamed because I couldn't believe it was over. I want more of Saigon and Chad, that's all. Emmanuel is an amazing narrator!

Saigon, Chad, Melissa, Atzi, the Judge and Dionne...whew! What a ride that Nikki Michelle has crafted in her genius creativity with this one! Saigon is every woman's dream, even though he gets paid for his sexual artistry and craft. Saigon and his brother Chad will drive you all kinds of good crazy. I bet you'll go back and re-read some of the naughty scenes twice like I did...don't judge me lol. There's a plot twist that's gonna make your jaw drop. I won't tell you which character you're gonna be angry with, I'll let you figure that out on your own. I love the Judge! When Dionne enters the picture you will clutch your pearls. You're going through all the emotions with this one. These folks you're going to love to hate! Excellent 5-star read! She always leaves you wanting more.

WoooWEE this was sexxxxyyyyyyyyy and HOT!! My first book by this author...and YAY!
The narration by Emmanuel Ingram was pure fire. He showed great range with the character voices and smexy scenes!!! #havemercy
I feel like these were threads/parts of a whole story I really want to know. Saigon's life lessons/journey as a lawyer/high paid escort. I need to know about Dionne and the judge..their story together...separate...I dont care. I need more information into the twin storyline too. But this novella gave all it needed to give!

Saigon (Sai) along with his twin brother Chad are sexy successful criminal defense attorneys. But it’s Sai’s other job that is more exciting. Sai is an after hours male escort for the Gentleman’s Club. He only serves an elite clientele and he loves what he does. He fulfills every carnal desire of a variety of women. Once he’s rocked the world of one client, it’s on to the next one with no strings attached. But Sai’s own world is rocked when Chad reveals a devastating secret. Will Sai ever recover?

Scandalous is the perfect title for this book because that is exactly what you’ll find in this story. Nikki Michelle takes you into the erotic world of a male escort. This story is a quick read filled with titillating sex scenes that will both satisfy readers and leave them begging for more. Scandalous is a good erotic novella to heat up those cold winter nights.

This was definitely a different storyline. I wasn’t sure what to expect. The author does draw you in. There is just enough family and relationship drama to keep the story interesting.

Appetizer My A--!

Saigon warned me this was only going to be an appetizer. I ate it all up and I’m greedy for more! I’ll keep my eye out for the main meal, dessert, and snack.

Audiobook-good narration but the plot/storyline sort of fell flat for me. It was just okay and at times felt unnecessarily random.

Scandalous was super hot and completely addictive! From the very first chapter, Nikki Michelle had me locked in. The narrator did an amazing job bringing the story to life, adding just the right amount of heat and emotion.

And can we talk about Nikki Michelle for a second? Because where has she been all my life?! YAAAAASSSSSSSS! The chemistry, the tension, the spice—everything hit exactly the way it should. This story was bold, sexy, and unapologetically scandalous in the best way. Smut at it's finest indeed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read and am already counting down for the next book. If this is any indication of what Nikki Michelle delivers, then I’m officially seated for whatever comes next.

Saigon, Saigon, Mr. Sai.

Let's get into this. If debauchery and smut isn't your thing, just mind your business and shut the door behind you. Enter into the world of a salacious pleasure ride. I enjoyed this novella and enjoyed myself in the naughty ride Sai provided. I won't give too much away, but will say this, Mr. Sai comes with a twin and these two powerhouse lawyers bring drama and mess wrapped up in a nice sensual playground for the women (one of whom, only slightly annoyed me in her approach) drawn to their allure and competitiveness.

So, pick up this book, and take a dive.

Somewhat disappointed with “Scandalous”. Although, the book had potential. It’s inconceivable a defense attorney would jeopardize his integrity, career and or law license to provide services and more so to fulfill his sexual proclivities under the pretext of “rules”. I was really expecting more from the title & Ms Michelle. However, Emmanuel Ingram never disappoints. His melodic voice was my impetus to read the book!

Saigon is an attorney by day and a paid gigolo by night. We find that he’s using his lifestyle as a mask for a hidden dark secret.

This was a much needed pallet cleanser penned by @nikkimichelle1984. My favorite character goes to Chad and the least favorite is his sister in law Melissa. Her poor choices almost destroyed the relationship of two brothers.

This is one read that I highly recommend.

Listen....the title SAYS IT ALL!!! Decadence, Debauchery and SMUT honey. My type of read. Get into this if this is your cup of tea. Its definitely mine. Saigon is a man who has to stay a fantasy because if there are men out here like this.....its sure to be a problem.
Also, do your self a favor and listen to the audio. Emmanuel Ingram...SIR, you are EVERYTHING!!

Well, Well, Well
What have we here? If you are looking for a good time? This story is for you! I felt like a possible voyer for peeking in on the comings(😏) and goings of Mr. Saigon.
And with Emmanuel Ingram's voice added to the debauchery...#chefskiss

What is it with twins

Not gonna lie this really didn’t do it for me until the very end. I mean conceptually it was great but it didn’t get me going until the bar. Idk what that says about me but anyways. Good read I think I just need more emotions attached to my smut *shrug*

Well I'll be damned. Sheeeesh, this book is such a well done erotica. There's emotion as the story goes that reels you in but the heat, woowee! It's hot, like a heater and worth experiencing every sizzle it serves.

I had the pleasure to listen and read along to this book. And Emmanuel performance pushed it to the 4star rating.

The story was a bit all over the place in this short read but the spicy scenes were hitting for all that was promised. Again Manny's voice delivered.

Only giving this 2 stars because I like Emmanuel Ingram as a narrator.

Other than that, this was just meh. There was no point to the story and if anything I was annoyed with the female characters. They were annoying.

Ohhhhhkkkkkkkayy, this is definitely a set up. In entertaining prologue that I hope leads to a good drama filled mess. Saigon and Chad sound like they are too pretty for me, but hey ima keep looking. Dionne and the judge definitely set him up.
