The Tease

The Virgin Society, Book 3

By: Lauren Blakely

Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin, Jason Clarke

I swear I’m a good girl.

I didn’t go to the exclusive, after-hours masquerade to kiss my dad’s best friend. I didn’t even know who the masked man was when he touched me like I was his every fantasy.

But when I learn exactly how off-limits my new lover is, I do my best to avoid him the next time. Except, he has his sinful sights set on me, even when he discovers who I am. Just one time, he whispers. Then we’ll pretend this never happened.

Seems the enigmatic, gorgeous single dad I’ve known by day is a very dirty man after dark.

But one night turns into a stolen weekend, giving me a taste of so much more. When it's over, we vow to stay apart.

We could never work.

He’s focused on raising his young son, and I can’t let my already damaged family break more. But the caring, possessive man keeps coming back to me, and these secret nights tangled up together are turning into tender moments that make my heart thunder.

And soon, this tease of a forbidden romance is making me want so much more than I can ever have…

This audio is Finn-tastic

Age gap, punishing with pleasure, single dad, dad’s best friend? Vanessa Edwin AND Jason Clarke?! I literally had zero choice but to listen to this audiobook. And what a performance they put on. Oh my lord. Lauren did it again. This entire series was absolutely stunning, but I have to say that Finn was my all time favorite. How could he not be? This was such a great story of love, acceptance, and forgiveness. I’m obsessed with Finn and Jules.

Fantastic!

Absolutely fantastic! Every time these narrators are together, it is pure magic!

The story was absolutely amazing!

I'm madly in love with Finn!

I’m loving the Virgin Society series. Lauren Blakely has given us so many feels in several tropes I love. Teasing about Jules and Finn got me so exited to listen to this.

An unexpected meeting puts Finn and Jules in a sticky situation. At the time they meet at a masquerade party, there’s an almost instant chemistry between them. They spend a wonderful night together, and are hoping for more, but Finn is shocked when he discovers that Jules is his business partner’s daughter, and Jules finds out that Finn is her father’s business partner. Knowing this, they agree they can’t continue to see each other. Easier said than done. Their pull toward each other is so strong, and it’s hard to stay away. No spoilers, but this is where the complications get more complicated. I loved how their story unfolds, and also the side stories. You’ll recognize some characters from this series, and get an update on them.

Lauren gives all the feels in this story of second chances in its many forms. Finn and Jules make a beautiful couple.

Jason Clarke narrates a single dad who spoils his young son, and finds himself in the predicament of right girl, wrong time when he meets Jules. Vanessa Edwin’s Jules is working through some issues of her own, and Finn seemingly comes along when she needs him most. I love Jules’ sass and her self-confidence and awareness of what she wants in her career. And Finn and his son are so adorable together. Another perfectly imperfect love story.

Love the story and the voice actors

Representative of disabilities and acceptance. Characters were believable and Finn and Jules were loveable and endearing.

The Ultimate Tease!!!

The story of Jules and Finn is a delicious tale of role playing, after dark fantasies come true and testing the limits of not only desires but how far you will go for love! 

For all my audio lovers out there— look no further!! Jason Clarke is the absolute perfect Finn! His voice exudes make dominance in the best way all while making you swoon and wish
He was your baby daddy to boot!

Vanessa Edwin can do no wrong! She portrays Jules’s motivation and attitude with sass and longing that makes you want to push the envelope on your own desires!

A chance encounter at an after dark party draws these two  together and from the get go their spark ignites a fire!  Who doesn’t want a  delicious tryst in a library of all places?!..( sorry not sorry one th spoiler alert ). But as cruel fate would have it, there’s a twist. Her Mystery Man is no longer a mystery… He’s Jules’ hard ass, ex-cop turned lawyer Father’s best friend! Come on Universe?!!?! 

As the story progresses a couple meets in Paris, because of course,  they haaaave to work on the same project !! (Clearly a hardship …in Paris)
If you’ve read any of Lauren Blakely‘s books in the past, you will now that she weaves complications and angst with delicious passion like the literary seamstress she is! 

Work life balance is important to Finn as he’s trying to raise his child.  Jules is trying to make her mark in the fast-paced world of television and dealing with her own personal struggles from the past.  What I like about Lauren’s books is that you will obviously get a wonderful love story; clearly you are going to get a firey passion that will burn up the sheets; but you also get real emotions and human struggles. These characters might seem like they are  living privileged lives, but their struggles are real, you grow to care about them and when they get resolved, you will feel even more happy for them!

The Tease lives up to its title … grab your copy today and you will not be disappointed!! (On second thought.. maybe have a glass of water nearby to put out any fires that arise from how fast you flip the pages!
