About Anna Durand

Anna Durand is a bestselling, multi-award-winning author of contemporary and paranormal romance. Her books have earned bestseller status on every major retailer and wonderful reviews from readers around the world. But that’s the boring spiel. Here are some really cool things you want to know about Anna!

Born on Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, Anna grew up moving here, there, and everywhere thanks to her dad’s job as an instructor pilot. She’s lived in Texas (twice), Mississippi, California (twice), Michigan (twice), and Alaska—and now Ohio.

As for her writing, Anna has always invented stories in her head, but she didn’t write them down until her teen years. Those first awful books went into the trash can a few years later, though she learned a lot from those stories. Eventually, she would pen her first romance novel, the paranormal romance Willpower, and she’s never looked back since.

My Thoughts

Anna Durand's "Natural Temptation," the third installment in the "Au Naturel Nights" series, delivers a steamy and engaging age-gap romance set against the backdrop of a clothing-optional resort. The audiobook, narrated by the talented James Cassidy and Lucy Rivers, brings to life the story of Meredith, a recent widow seeking a new lease on life, and Ryan Kimble, the younger, undeniably attractive resort manager.

Durand excels at crafting a palpable connection between her protagonists. The initial attraction between Meredith and Ryan is immediate and sizzles throughout the narrative. The age difference, while a point of consideration for Meredith, doesn't feel like a contrived obstacle but rather adds an interesting layer to their dynamic. Their interactions are filled with playful banter and a growing emotional intimacy that complements the undeniable physical chemistry.

The setting of the naturist resort provides a unique and inherently sensual atmosphere. Durand uses this to her advantage, creating moments of both humorous awkwardness and genuine vulnerability as Meredith navigates this new environment. While the premise lends itself to explicit scenes, the audiobook balances the steam with a developing storyline that explores themes of grief, second chances, and the courage to embrace desire.

The narration is crucial for an audiobook like this, and ideally, the performers capture the emotional nuances of the characters and the sizzling tension between them. A well-executed narration would undoubtedly enhance the listener's immersion in the story and make the already engaging plot even more captivating.

Overall, "Natural Temptation" on audio promises to be a delightful listen for fans of contemporary romance, particularly those who enjoy age-gap dynamics and a healthy dose of spice. Anna Durand delivers a story that is not just about physical attraction but also about finding connection and happiness in unexpected places. If the narration matches the quality of the writing, this audiobook is a tempting treat.
