About this audiobook
He's sexy, flirty, down-and-dirty trouble.
I entertain naked people for a living. No, not THAT kind of entertainment. I own a nudist resort. I'm not a nudist, but Val Silva is. And he's a human supernova sleeping in the room next door.
The man is tall, gorgeous, tattooed, and a shameless exhibitionist. As the Brazilian bad boy of the international football world, he's as famous for his sextape as for his talent on the field. Oh, did I mention he walks around naked ALL the time? A girl only has so much willpower. Maybe we can have a little fun… as long as his tabloid past doesn't mess with my quiet life.
Eve Holt is the sexiest woman I've ever seen, in those short-shorts and tank tops that make me wonder what she's hiding underneath. Most women love my wild side, but Eve thinks I'm trouble with a capital T. Okay, she might have a point there. But I always get what I want, and I want her. I didn't lead my team to Olympic gold by giving up. That's one fact about me Eve is about to learn.
Natural Passion is the first book in the Au Naturel Trilogy of romantic comedies from Anna Durand, the bestselling author of the Hot Scots series.

Um, Wow, Beyond Descriptive Sex - 8 or above
Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? Yes
The back story... The h is running a Naturalist camp when the H checks in and sets his mind on her. His room is unavailable due to a water line break.. She let's him have a room in her place.
The Romance... Starts off as straight lust but develops well throughout the story.
The drama explosion... The H freaks when the paparazzi shows up at the camp.
Did it feel real or contrived? A bit contrived
Was it OTT? A bit
Separation involved? Yup
Was it resolved properly or rushed? Quickly
Final Notes... With as much sex as this story contains, it was actually pretty good. I found myself caring about the cast of characters and only wanted to strangle the MCs a couple of times.
This story does need a fantasy tag as he was essentially able to orgasm 3 different times in maybe 15 minutes.
HEA or HFN? HEA - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has all the best naked shenanigans! Anna Durand is an Author I have been following for a while, but Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas are 2 of my very favorite narrators, so prioritizing this audiobook was a no brainer! Val is a super sexy lead, which is a given. I just love his confident Alpha within female empowerment boundaries, sex-positive awesome personality! He was a fun, sexy, and super easy to fall for, especially when performed by Jason Clarke! Ava Lucas delivered a fantastic performance of Mel, who is a strong female character who knows what she wants in life, isn't threatened by sex or afraid of it, but has some hangups in her past (as do we all). Ava and Jason made this audiobook music to my ears. I won a free code for the audiobook from the Author on twitter, but I would definitely recommend it. I have already listened more than once. Definitely worth a credit!
