Smut was so much fun to listen to! I had trouble leaving my car when I arrived at work, I just wanted to stay with Blake and Amanda :)

This was a lot of fun. I like the enemies to lovers trope and this one implemented it well. I also live that its quite a bit about the writing industry and how romance sells - and more importantly, is LEGITIMATE. I like the evolution the characters take in recognizing romance as more than a way to make money. Lots of fun little asides - especially for geeks everywhere (think Conventions with full dress in sci-fi costumes) and those who fear spiders.

I really liked both the narrators, but I don't think they complimented each other well. Alone they are quite good, but they are very different so I really FELT the chapter /POV changes. It took me out of the book at times.

I love enemies-to-lovers romance stories! I love the angst that surrounds this sub-genre so I was very excited for Smut. The angst is all there and the tension is insane and hot! There's a library scene that had me widening my eyes and blushing. It was a scene I won't ever forget! Other than that, there wasn't anything memorable about this book. I couldn't really believe the romance this couple had. While they interacted a lot while writing their novels and going out, all of it felt very superficial and not enough depth. Ultimately, it was a fun read, but my expectations weren't fully met.

As for the audio, it took me a few chapters to get used to the male narrator since he has an accent. My one complaint about the audio is that I thought Blake had a deeper voice whereas the narrator didn't have a deep voice. It took me another long while to get used to this fact. I just couldn't picture Blake having this voice so it threw me off completely. I loved the female's narration. I thought she did a great job in embracing Amanda's character.

I received the audiobook from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews.
