Hotline

Murmur Inc.

De: Quinn Anderson

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo

Zack never intended to become a phone sex operator, but with half a college degree and a smart mouth, his options were limited. It helps that he has a knack for thinking on his feet and a willingness to roll with whatever his clients throw at him. Sure, he gets his fair share of creeps and unconventional requests, but it pays the bills, and he's in no danger of breaking his one rule: never fall for a client.

Until a man named "John" starts calling, and Zack finds himself interested in more than a paycheck. It's not just that John has money, or that his rumbling baritone drives Zack wild. He's everything Zack isn't: educated, poised, and in total control of his life.

A twist of fate brings them face-to-face, and now that they've seen each other - and spent an unforgettable night together - they can't go back to the way things were. A sex worker and a trust fund brat... It's like Romeo and Juliet, but with less stabbing and slightly fewer dick jokes. Hopefully they can pull off a more successful ending.

second chance? I think not

Nick Russo did an amazing journey n narrating the story. he gave voice to the characters. and I adore Nick's smooth smokey voice. I highly recommend searching for Nick's other works.

as for the story, the plot was great but Zack lacks a spike. The story painted him as a confident character yet 2/3 through it completely reversed. I understand that the author was trying to convey his hesitancy with declaring love or dealing with emotions but overall the character fell flat. also the character John who was so infatuated with Zach's voice to turn around and try to have phone sex with someone else seemed a little bit out of character and for Zach to sell readily forgive not ideal. however this could be because I'm biased I always live by Mae West's quote, "everyone deserves a second chance just with someone else" lol.

Eye-roll start

started off slow not knowing what to expect from this lesson. But come to find out the pace quickens and the story draws you in rather quickly. Pauper meets Prince and the journey that ensues comma with a Twist.

Quirky and Fun

That was fun.

Quinn Anderson has a great writing style, and I'm sorry they're no longer writing. (Well, I should say, if they are publishing, I've got no idea where.)

Quirky, funny, and sweet, Hotline is a nice low-angst romance.

Amazing Narrator!

Great main characters, entertaining and lovable supporting characters, and a unique romantic plot. What's not to love? With half the sex in the book being over the phone, it was different than what I'm used to, but totally worth the money.

Also, Nick J. Russo is a new favorite reader, best sex voice I've heard yet in addition to his already amazing performance throughout the rest of the book.

Give this book a shot! I'm sure you won't regret it.

Story. / 2 main leads

Don’t. Waste a credit....book and main principal leads boring mid way through the books I had enough.....some good hot sex. Narrator not good...encephalitis for Zack and John....the rest terrible

Talk dirty to me

I loved it. Scorching hot dirty talk. Just wonderful. I didn't like what John did. It really made me like him less. Great narration by Nick J Russo. Very sexy voice.

Not as funny as I thought or different

My expectations for funniness may have been too high, but I chose it based on the excerpt, which seemed funnier to me than most of the story actually was.
This is a story of college drop-out and PSO (phone sex operator), Zach (aka Wesley Darkling), and phone sex caller, John, a wealthy law student. Naturally, both were beautiful, buff white men in their 20s. Overall, my enjoyment of the story was quite minimal. But it was fun trying to figure out how and when they would meet. The story had cute dialogue a few times but not exactly funny. And Zach's group of friends, 2 fem & 1 straight guy, were fun. So much of it is M/M sex scenarios played out on the phone, which I tired of. They were quite sexy; the author has an adequate affinity for writing sex scenes. It's the rest of the writing.
After the sex moved off the phone, the trajectory of the story changed. And I liked that half of the story more, though it was never a story I was drawn too or sought out. I was ready to get it over. The conflict in the story was real and due to an unexpected reason, which was a good unexpected bend. And the story is not wrapped up too prettily, which was more realistic. I wish we heard other PSOs to get a real sense of Zach's workplace beyond encountering his boss. It just would've added to a wider view of Zach's life, since so much of the story centers on his job and workplace. Zach and John grow during the story, which was a plus. Still, I won't see out this author again.
The narrator seriously rocked especially all the sexual sounds and verbal expressions. He bounced well among all the male and female characters.

Delightful!

This was exactly as sweet and fun as I hoped. If you need a book to get you out of a reading slump, Hotline is it! Definitely recommend it!

Not worth it.

First no second chances to an arrogant cheater. Nick Russo did a great job telling a very meh to awful story. It was actually not only boring but also a disappointing end. Whoever said “everyone deserves another chance, with someone else” yeah let’s go with that.

Cute & funny love story

This was really good, first time hearing a story about a phone sex worker. Took a couple of hours befor John and Zack actually meet, but the phone sex was both sexy and funny so I didnt mind. Loved Zacks friends and co-workers, they really added more charachter to the story and the romance between Zack and John was really cute with just enough drama to make this a really enjoyabell book!
Nick really was perfect for this story, his voice is just amazing and he made this good book great! Really recommend it!
