Wow, this book blew me away, a love story like no other, a beautiful and passionate love. This book became my obsession and I could not tear myself away because I needed to know what happens next. Sebastian Lombardi left his life in Naples, Italy, behind to pursue a career in show business, landing an acting gig in a small theatre. Since he still sent money home to his family, he took a chauffeuring job, and it was that job that push started his career, because his client, Savannah Meyers, the wife of his favorite actor and his idol, Adam Meyers, was his client. Sebastian may only be eighteen, but he is a mature eighteen and when Savannah, who is older, takes in interest in him, he is all for it. When she stumbles upon his screenplay, she asked to read it and it left her impressed enough to share with her husband. She also shared how seductive Sebastian was without ever touching her, and the chemistry she felt, and when Adam met him, he felt that same chemistry and they had a proposition for him. It was great to watch these three navigate a sensual and passion filled relationship, and then see it morph into something so much more, an indescribable love. Is their love strong enough to survive outside pressures? Sebastian was sure it could, but what about Savannah and Adam? I loved all the layers of this story and how it all played out, except for that ending, which I was not happy about that, but am hopeful something great comes next for them. This book contained a lot of Sebastian’s point of view and I would love to hear more from the other two, as well as their back stories. There is never a dull moment in this book, and the story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and a sizzling romance with superbly done scenes. The writing, plot and world building are incredible, as are the character growth and development. Gianna Darling, thanks for the amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Wow, what an amazing listen, performed in duet by the wonderfully talented CJ Mission, Desiree Ketchum, and Shane East. They made a great narration team, with voices and talent that complemented each other and a performance that takes the book to a whole never level. Their portrayal of these characters is perfection, and I loved how they took their roles and made them their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. CJ Mission nailed it as Sebastian, Italian accent included, swoon worthy, seductive with lots of heart. Desiree Ketchum was just as amazing as Savannah, showcasing her personality and demeanor, handling her changes in mood flawlessly, while putting up her walls. Shane East was a natural in Adam’s role with his British accent, grasping every aspect of his personality, including his dominating alpha-tude. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and their passion, having you feeling all. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

Sebastian was definitely the main character for me, an Italian scriptwriter dreaming of stardom, chauffeur for the wife of a famous British actor. And who is also running from the mafia 🫣 - I haven’t read much polygamy before but this actually worked. I’m aware that this might not be to everybody’s tastes though. Sebastian gets an offer from the couple to be their lover for the price of fame and I could not get enough. The only thing I didn’t like was how young Sebastian was.

The hours seemed to pass by so *smoothly* and that is definitely down to how drawn you are into the story RIGHT from the start, aswell as how attractive the narrators voices were. Sebastian’s narrator is the #1 reason this book should be read in audio - the Italian accent 😩

Overall I would definitely recommend, and I’ll be checking out more of Giana’s books because I’m utterly drawn into the way she creates such a captivating story. From start to finish this was flawless, made with such class and elegance in Chelsea (London) I felt right at home reading it. 💫🎬

Ps: This book is VERRRY spicy so just be warned!!

Flawless from start to finish!!

Overall Thoughts: I had to wait a few days after listening to this book because I didn’t realize this was a series that focuses on the same throuple and leaves you on a cliffhanger that rivals the worst hangover of my life. I loved this book so much, and then to end like that had me about to throw my device across the room. This was my first book by Giana, but it will not be my last. I have at least two more that will now be on my TBL in addition to the ones I now have to move up that list. The web she weaves with these characters and the depth and emotion are perfection, and she picked some amazing narrators to bring them to life. Desiree is spectacular as Savannah, Shane is spectacular in everything he does (this being no exception with his portrayal as Adam) and CJ (a new to me narrator) wowed me as Sebastian with his Italian accent.

Narration: Duet style narration, first-person present tense, three POVs (heavier on Sebastian’s POV)

Tropes: actor, Italian, British, age-gap, MMF, “workplace”, secret relationship, opposites, bi-awakening, voyeurism, jealousy, marriage in trouble, betrayal,

Overall: 5
Spice: 4
Humor: 2.5
Drama: 3.5
Darkness: 2.5
Narration: 5

Sebastian recently moved to London to make a name for himself to support his family. Staring in a “off broadway” play in London while chauffeuring for Savannah Meyers, the wife of a famous movie star. When the attraction between him and his client heat up, lines get crossed that they can’t come back from.

Enter Adam Meyers who is instantly taken with the young actor, and invites Sebastian to join him and his wife in a secret affair. Sebastian is nervous about the offer, but it is one he can’t refuse, especially when they offer to help him get his screenplay produced in addition to being their private driver and living on their estate.

The three grow closer, and while it started out as a physical relationship, feelings develop that push and pull the three lovers like the way the moon affects the tides. When unexpected circumstances interfere in their blossoming relationship, will they be able to keep the promises they made to each other, or will outside forces be too much to overcome?

OMG!! EPIC STORY AND CLIFFHANGER

What the whaaaaaaat?!!!! So I love going into books blind. It’s my superpower really. It is usually delightful to be surprised with all the twists and turns, tropes, and HEAs. Well, I didn’t get the memo that this wasn’t a standalone! So Giana left me wanting so… much… more!

Buuuuut I’ll forgive her because this is my favourite kind of love story. It is messy, with complicated characters who are multi-faceted. And we just get to scratch the surface of their layers in Book 1. Annnnnnnd she picked the perfect narrators. Desireé is delightful as the snooty muse and the oldest in this steamy MMF romance. She was just the right balance of “I’m too important to do things for myself,” and “I came from the wrong side of the tracks where people get filthy in the great outdoors.” Shane is a famous British actor who is secretly bisexual. He is commanding in the bedroom and insecure in his feelings. But for me, the real show stealer here is C.J., who just smashes it as Sebastian. His Italian accent isn’t over the top or caricaturey. He gives us the naïvity of a young eighteen-year-old trying to get his big break while looking after his family back home in Naples. He is vulnerable with his love but gets a real taste for the spicy times. Sebastian (aka C.J.) can call me “duchessa” anytime! This audiobook really is fantastic.

There are no spoilers here. If you like to binge series, you may want to grab it now but wait until the series is complete before you dive in. Get into it now if you can handle being left hanging for a few months. This is full of emotions but is filthy AF too. Er, I would like a ride in their limo, please! So many yummy things happen there.

I wholeheartedly support you getting this one in your ears. You know you want to!





Great story and narration. I need more from them!

As a struggling Italian actor working as a chauffeur in London, his life takes a dramatic turn when he’s drawn into a web of desire with his glamorous clients, Savannah and Adam Meyers. Their forbidden relationship is messy, complicated, and utterly magnetic.
This story is full of tension, heartbreak, and layers of complexity as Sebastian navigates love, ambition, and the price of following his dreams. The chemistry between the characters is electric, and the emotional depth is emotional enough to keep a high standard throughout
A must-listen for fans of bold, unforgettable romances!
