Dix

Elite 8 Studios, Book 1

De: Emmy Sanders

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo

Do you believe in hate at first sight?

Dixon

If I had to choose one word to describe my new cocky costar, it’d be exasperating. Nikolas Adamos may look like a Greek god—and he certainly struts around like he knows it—but unlike everyone else, I refuse to fall prey to his charms.

Unfortunately for me, Niko and I get paired to do a series of lovey-dovey boyfriend videos for our employers at Elite 8 Studios. And when you film the sort of scenes we do, up close and personal takes on a whole new meaning.

I may have to play nice while the cameras are rolling, but off set, it’s another matter entirely. So what if our chemistry is off the charts? That doesn’t mean a thing. Nor does the tender look in Niko’s eye when we’re together under the lights.

Because I know the truth. Nikolas Adamos revels in riling me up. And even though my pesky friends think I need fireworks after a string of fizzled relationships, I have no doubt if I allow myself to get any closer to my new fake boyfriend, I’ll only end up burned.

Dix is a grumpy/sunshine, one-sided enemies-to-lovers romance with hate at first sight, forced proximity for two costars who work between the sheets, banter and snark galore, plenty of industrial-sized lube, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in the Elite 8 Studios series, featuring characters that were introduced in Virgin Hearts (Plum Valley Cowboys Book 2), but can be listened to as a standalone.

This story will melt your heart ❤️

I loved everything about this book and can’t wait for the next one in this series.

Perfection

Absolute perfection. Nick is an amazing narrator and always does an amazing job. Emmy is an amazing author and hasn't written a story that I don't love. This entire series is an absolute comfort series for me. 10/10, will always recommend.

Sweet and spicy

What a good story! Definitely a five star read. I recommend this book. It’s entertaining from start to finish. It’s funny, cute and romantic. Who would think there would be romance in a book about two adult movie stars?

Another amazing time!

I love Emmy Sanders. I think the worlds and characters they create are absolutely wonderful, innately flawed and surrounded by wonderful found family. ADORE this series. Nick J. Russo was wonderful - the only issue I had was there were a few moments where I struggled to tell which character he was. But most of the time - he was absolutely stellar. On to Malibu….

Very Sweet Take on a Spicy Premise, but...

Overall, this was a feel good story. The characters were fleshed out and it had structure. It also had enough spice for the setting to be an adult studio.
Nick Russo is easily in my top 10 of narrators. He was perfectly cast for every character, EXCEPT one - the title character. Dix is the main character and the cover model was perfectly cast based on how the character is written. HOWEVER, Nick is NOT Dix. I was consistently distracted by Nick's voice contrasting with what this character looks like (cover) and is written like. *sigh* I wish that more Black narrators were cast for these roles. Sometimes, the way the characters in other books are written or the type of voice the narrator has, I can suspend belief enough for it not to matter as much. In other cases, like Dix, it's so very distracting.
I enjoyed this story, but... 🤷🏾‍♂️
