Thank you for the opportunity to read this prior to publication.

I was aware of the audio-erotica podcast that this is based on previously but haven't listened to more than 1-2 episodes, so I would still say I went in with zero expectations.

This book is a really fun, engaging sexy, read. At the risk of sounding trite, it was incredibly "readable" and I whipped through it in a few days. I enjoyed the way that the main character's past memories contrast with her present frustrations. I would say that more could be made of this and it was somewhat jarring that large sections of the novel focused on her past for a long period of time before returning to the future, but that's a very subjective thing and maybe the extended flashbacks just didn't work for me.

This is the first volume of a planned trilogy which I wasn't initially aware of - it does end on a cliff-hanger which leads directly into the next book and I'd be interested to see where this goes next.

Love the writing style of this book, you get to know the story of Diana who interviews woman about their wants and desires then uses it to create art. I must admit it broke my heart when Diana's husband ends up getting with the school mum no one really likes, you go through the montions of the break up with her. Shocked at the ending with jasper tho, and hoping their is more to this story to come as I wanted to know more about him.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book,
Diana is married to Oliver. They love each other but they've fallen into a rut where they're more like strangers who live in the same house. Diana decides to revisit her art work from her past, and in doing so opens up a new venture interviewing women about their sexual desires and fantasies which only highlights what is missing from her own life. I found her past interesting, as it really made me as a reader think about people giving up parts of themselves to please their partners.
I've discovered that this is part of a series which the ending of this book definitely lends itself to. I'll be sure to read the next book!

Absolutely loved this book. It focuses on the female desire, ambitions and needs and wants out of their lives. It looks at marriage and relationships from the point of view of a woman which I found to be a refreshing take.

The book looks at what the lead gives up after her marriage, her desire to be that person again and her current identity. I liked how the book portrays the contrasting personas of the lead in the past and now. Absolutely recommend this one! Want to definitely read the next part of the series!

Thank you HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange of my unbiased review.

Engaging novel - as long as you are up for the spice becuase this one is spicy beyond measure. Very quick breezy read.

I read this book in a day, I couldn’t put it down!

I would say this is perfect for a Holiday read. I loved the title and the cover and was really impressed when I started reading and loved the story.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Diana’s past and present and really got caught up in the story.
The interviews add an erotic side to the story and it’s interesting how much of herself Diana has left in the past in place for safety.

I had no idea that this book was part of a series until I googled it and when I finished the book it made perfect sense, I can’t wait for the next book!
