 Hello everybody, E here, E here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we're talking about another book that I listened to on scribe and that has really dug this book. So for those of you who like to get in here, feel, see, hear my feelings and get out, I definitely recommend this book. It is an erotic thriller, kind of light on the sex, but very heavy on the sexual tension, which is how I prefer my erotic thrillers or erotic anything, really. And the payoff at the end, I don't want to build this up as something where you're waiting this entire time for two people to have sex, or three people, or four people, or whatever, and that be the payoff. The payoff is something completely different, and it is amazing for it because I did not expect it. The story follows an actress named Kira, who is going to be doing a play with this infamous director Malcolm and Malcolm's girlfriend, Joanne has very, very, very interesting feelings on this whole thing. It's not really a love triangle because I don't think there's any love in this book whatsoever. There's a lot of neuroses. There is a lot of sexual tension, like I said, and that's the best part of the book is watching these characters interact and not knowing when they're going to hit the bedroom, or if they're going to hit the bedroom, that kind of thing. There is another character, but I'm about three weeks out from listening to this book, and I can't remember what the guy's name is. He's kind of like an on and off, again, boyfriend, a fuck buddy for the main character, Kira. That person to me felt a bit inconsequential, but that would be my only criticism. I loved the book as a whole, really. The character work is fantastic. I really enjoyed being inside Kira's head, but I always found myself wanting to get back to Joanne. I hope that's right. It's not Joanna. Anyways, I think it's Joanne. Joanne's mind was an absolute pleasure to be inside. I loved how messed up she was. That's the best way I can put it, and her conflicting thoughts about Malcolm, and especially the way she thinks about Kira. The entire book, I thought we were going to someplace completely different. My experience with erotic thrillers is very, very limited, and that's an overstatement, or understatement. It's very, very limited. I think the last one that I read was almost, I don't know, maybe seven years ago, which was The Girl in apartment 6E, which I loved. I ended up hating. I got the first book, Five Stars. I got the second one, One Star. That's how bad this, and I never did read the third book. Funny because it's called Do Not Disturb, and I remember, I think either in my review where I was talking to somebody, I said, don't worry, I'm not going to disturb it. It's going to stay unbought. But anyways, that's completely different author. Fargo does a tremendous job with a sleight of hand, with making you think she is heading one place and she's not actually going there. The audiobook is absolutely fantastic. So if you have subscribed, or even if you have audible, any one of those things, wherever you can find the audiobook, definitely check that out. I don't know how it reads whatsoever. I do not own a copy. I'm going to try and unfuck that very, very soon. But it's one of those, one of these books that I did not expect to like it as much as I did, and I don't know why. I guess because the cover looks like an erotic thriller. I've never been a huge fan of erotica, but this was done right. There was that sexual tension that I love so much, one of the things that I love so much about you by Caroline Kepnes, and I'm not comparing these two books whatsoever. Completely different monsters here. But with you, I remember with Beck and Joe, there was that sexual tension, but until they finally do get together, it did it for me. I much prefer the lead up to two characters having sex, all that tension. I much prefer that than actually seeing the actual act described or whatever. I'm definitely not approved. If you've read my work, you know I'm definitely not approved. But with this one, it was so well done, handled so perfectly. The pitch, the tone, the atmosphere, all of it is so good, and I had no idea where there was those heading. And then I read the last bit. I read the denowment, denouement, whatever, I'm sure Patrick will let me down there in the doobly-doo. I got to the end of the book and I was blown away. Easily in my top 20 books of the year, certainly my favorite audio book up until this point. So have you read Tempor by Lane Fargo? Please let me know down there in the doobly-doo whether or not you loved it, whether or not you hated it. And if you hated it, please tell me why you hated it. This has been happening a lot and I want to continue this on. People who hated the book are telling me, like my friend Richard, I hated Ghost Wall and he recommended me my sister, my serial killer's sister, whatever it was. If you have a book like this, knowing what you've heard me say in this review, what I like and what I don't like, definitely say, okay, I hated this one, I think this book did it better. Definitely do that. No spoilers, of course. But yeah, leave all those kind of comments down there in the doobly-doo and that's where I'll see you. I did not mean to make that wrong. Anyways, but until next time, I have been E, you've been E, this has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye!
