About this listen

From number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely comes a sexy, emotional, and deliciously addictive trilogy performed with all new narration from Joe Arden and Vanessa Edwin....

Let me tell you everything I know about love....

Love is a lie, a game, a chase. And most of all - it’s a battle every man and woman must fight for themselves.

I don’t trust love for a second.

Until I meet Trey.

He’s just like me - dangerous, scarred, and keeping secrets that might be darker than mine.

And I can’t seem to stay away from him even though I’ve promised to.

How can this be the start of something when tomorrow it has to end?

The Start of Us is the first novel in the No Regrets Trilogy.

A story of reinvention.

I love the mystery in the story. The story gives you enough to know the characters in the present but the mystery of their past is just so intense that you're drawn to the next book. I would recommend to everyone.

The story does not make sense!

I know it is romance, I know it is fiction, but it does not make sense!

20 something sex addicts

I like this author but this story is just so slow moving that I could skip a whole chapter and not miss anything. I don't care about these characters or their problems enough to find out what happens to them. Glad it was a free download.

Narrators are quite good, so they get an extra point.

WTF. Can’t get this story

How can you be a Sex Addict when you are still a virgin?

This call girl only gets paid for everything over her hips. Her John’s get conversations, companionship for a night on the town or office night out, playing the schoolgirl. THERE WAS NO PENETRATION. NOT EVEN FINGERS.
Harley’s character is so not a Sex Addict, she just likes being with older men with no commitments. I reiterate She is a virgin.

Yes Trey is one, sort of. He has had sex with older women. Whatever.

She is being blackmailed, sort of. I think it was easy to get out of it. Keeping this secret from her mom who in my opinion treated her like a whore minus the money. Let her know, she is also a whore minus actual cash passing hands.

I really can’t get into this book. I have 2 hours left and I think I will stop and maybe try it again another time.

The few chapters read by Erin Mallon are interesting. Only because it was a good idea to have some of the book she is being blackmailed to write.

Since the next two books are a continuation I’m so not getting them.
