That was so much fun:) I can't believe I waited so long to try out an audio book. This was only 30 minutes long, but I'm not gonna lie, it was worth $1.65 to listen to Ansel talk about his over used cock in a French accent. Just Kidding, he's so sweet and adorable I can't believe Ami's still mad at him:)



BTW, if I find out I can listen to Braden or Nate with their Irish accents on audio, I might actually die. I'm now accepting recs for audiobooks:))!

FOUR POINT FIVE STARS

I listened to this one. It cost a $1.95 for 30 minutes of Ansel's point of view of the morning after. -> http://amzn.to/1BhfHTT It was worth it to hear his french accent. Ooh La La

I’m twenty eight, and just woke in a hotel in Las Vegas married. The fact that I’m not completely freaking out, or searching for the easiest most accessible exit makes absolutely no sense. Instead, I’m just.. calm.

This thirty minute audio book was a fantastic look into Ansel’s perspective from the morning after he and Mia get married in Las Vegas. Just listening to this narrator talk in that sexy french accent for half an hour made it worth the price.

I just adore Ansel. Hearing what he thought about Mia the moment he first laid eyes on her was great.
I’d seen a hundred girls look at me like that from across the room, but it had never felt like that. Like the air had ignited in the space between us, and the breath had been knocked from my lungs.

I recommend to all fans of Sweet Filthy Boy. I’m not sure why it took so long for me to listen to it, but I’m glad I got to it today.

Very short read (30 minutes in length) but more than worth the price for Ansel’s thoughts waking up with Mia the morning after.

The narrator, Jason Carpenter has one sexy French accent. I’m embarrassed to admit I did attempt to find out what this guy looks like on Google but came up empty. I think I’ll leave it because imagination is probably so much better than reality.

I really, really, really enjoyed this audio book! But ....



Just when I was getting into it, it ended! Obviously, I knew it was a short one before I hit play, but I was still disappointed when the closing credits were announced.

What I did get was amazingly sweet! Ansel definitely made his way onto my fave bbf list in Sweet Filthy Boy, and with this little gem of an audio, he cemented his spot. My one complaint is the french accent ... perhaps it's because I hear them all day, every day ... but this one didn't do much for me. The narrator, Jason Carpenter is great! He did a wonderful job in characterizing for Ansel, Finn & Oliver - the french accent just didn't sound as thick as I had imagined for Ansel.

This was a great companion to book 1 & I can't wait to read the rest of the series! :)

Jason Carpenter is the cat's pajamas.

His voice is delish but this could've been about 9.12345678 times longer.

I legit would've listened to the whole story again told from Ansel's POV.

Redundancy be damned!

This was an extremely quick little extra. It isn't really long enough to be a novella, more like a bonus chapter. Told in Ansel's POV, it provides a sliver of insight into Ansel's mind. He shares his thoughts as he recollects the events of the prior night, now that he has woken up married. It provides a tasty tease, but doesn't add any new material to the story. If you enjoyed the first book and are dying for a bit more of the delectable man that is Ansel, it's probably worth the dollar and change. If you're expecting a novella or any big revelations, you won't find it here. I enjoyed it, but knew what I was getting. A 30 minute audiobook isn't going to cover much ground and I was okay with that.

** 4 FREAKIN' SWEET STARS **

...But I found her again, got her talking, and in a way I can't explain, feel like I made her mine.

As it all comes back to me — in stuttering, jarring flashes of words and lips and skin and laughter, the sounds of her moans and little choked-off begs, the feel of her hands all over me and her eyes holding onto mine as I moved over her — I know more fully that I'm hers.

~ ANSEL




God, how cute is that!?

Ansel Guillaume, you've won my heart all over again.

Too short... I WANT MORE DAMMIT!

This is like a quickie audio book bonus chapter about the morning after that crazy night in Vegas detailed in Sweet Filthy Boy. There are no earth shattering revelations, but it's nice to have Ansel's perspective. He's every bit as sweet and idealistic as you'd expect. The story is so short (30 minutes) that I'm not sure it's worth buying. However, I borrowed it for free from Hoopla Digital and enjoyed it.

This scene takes place the morning after Mia and Ansel spend the night together and get married. I loved being in Ansel's head - even if it's only for 30 minutes! He is my favorite man from any of the Christina Lauren books and I really hope maybe someday we're get a full novella from his point of view. He is amazing! I recommend this to anyone who loved Sweet Filthy Boy!

I think if I read (listened) right after reading Sweet Filthy Boy, I might have enjoyed it more. It was well written. It's just my memory of the main book is so far removed, this short short story didn't connect me to the main book with so much time between reading the two. I encourage those who haven't read the main book to read these two back to back for maximum enjoyment.

I was excited to get Ansel’s pov at first but this whole thing felt unnecessary to me for some reason.

Going to keep going in the series though!

OH. MY. GOD. ANSEL IS BACK! And with his point of view, even better! Things can get better and better, JASON CARPENTER is narrating with a sexy French accent! *FAINT* And when I thought I would live after this audiobook, the inevitable happened, I saw in my head my already chosen book boyfriend, THEO JAMES! *DEAD*. And then, the audiobook was over. Why? why? why? It was only 30 minutes of my beloved Ansel! I want more! Can i have more please?

The outtake was published last June in VH1 and I was jumping up and down because I love a man POV, and now the audiobook was the perfect addition to the story. I love Jason’s voice, his narration was perfect for Ansel, his French accent was flawless, and when he spoke a few little words in French, I was smiling like an idiot.

I won’t say much about what happens in this short novella, all I can tell that Ansel is just perfect!!! <3 You all need to listen to it!!! It’s short, but it’s worth it. 30 minutes and 54 seconds in heaven!!!

Book Review:
I read Sweet Filthy Boy this past summer and fell in love with Ansel. I'm such a fan of sweet and caring heroes. Ansel was just that: thoughtful, sweet, swoon-worthy with a hint of naughty.  I wasn't alone in my book boyfriend crush.  Many others loved him too, so I was elated when Christina Lauren released Sweet Filthy Morning After!  You can read Sweet Filthy Morning After for free on VH1.com  but I would recommend listening to it!

I would recommend that you read Sweet Filthy Boy prior to listening to this audiobook. I don't think you would fully appreciate this short story without reading that one first.  This audiobook is Ansel's point-of-view of when he met Mia and the morning after a night of drunken debauchery.  I loved how transfixed he was with Mia from the beginning. It's clear that he felt strongly for her from the very beginning. Listening to this
"I can't believe for even a heartbeat that I forgot what happened with Mia. The first thing I noticed was her mouth, full and round, lips the color of cherries and so red it was almost obscene.  It sounds cliche that my first reaction was to think of sex, but Jesus it's all that came to mind thinking of those lips.

Yeah, he was pretty much saying thing like that the whole time.
"Green eyes met mine and there wasn’t a chance in hell I was going to be able to pull my feet from where they seemed to be bolted to the floor, let alone remember my own name. I’d seen a hundred girls look at me like that from across a room, but it had never felt like that, like the air had ignited in the space between us and the breath had been knocked from my lungs. I didn’t blink, didn’t breathe, didn’t hear a decibel of the pounding bass or the drunken shouts of the people around me. I’d been reduced to butterflies in my stomach and the growing weight of my own smile as it stretched across my face."

It's hard to rate this short story because it's so short, so I am going to give it the same rating as Sweet Filthy Boy. Sweet Filthy Morning After is really a part of Sweet Filthy Boy and is about the length of a chapter.

Audiobook Comments: This audiobook is narrated by Jason Carpenter.  I read on xoxoafterdark.com that Jason Carpenter was raised speaking French, so he was the PERFECT choice from my sweet French Ansel.  The narration was done so well.  His French accent was so...well..HOT!  I've listened to other books narrated by Jason Carpenter and I've found his voice inflictions strange, but I didn't notice it in this one.

So this was a little disappointing, maybe because I was hoping for Mia's perspective of that night since she forgot so much of it. But it was still a quick, cute little audio.

It's so hard to rate this because it's so short. At only 30 minutes long, (it's an audiobook exclusive), it's hard for me to give it a rating because it's not a full story. It's only a bonus clip of Sweet Filthy Boy from Ansel's POV. We don't really learn nothing new here about that story, but we do get to learn more about Ansel and why he was so hesitant to get an annulment from Mia. Was this really necassary? No, not really. But it is a nice bonus for us fans of the series (and Ansel) and I love that the authors and the publisher went the extra mile for us and released this on audio with a great narrator. So even though it's really short, it was just a good time. Not a bad way to spend 30 minutes of your day! Even if you haven't read Sweet Filthy Boy, I would still recommend this. Who knows, you might end up loving Ansel as much as the rest of us and want to read Sweet Filthy Boy. Although I really enjoyed this, I really wish it were a little bit longer. Mostly, I wish that Sweet Filthy Boy would have included Ansel's POV.

Audiobook Comments: I was already a big fan of Jason Carpenter because this, and now I'm just an even bigger fan. I've said many times that I don't like accents and tend to stay away from audiobooks that have British or Scottish accents. But a French accent? A hot guy with a French accent is a whole different ballgame. When I first heard that Jason Carpenter was narrating this one, I was a little worried because listening to his other books, I would have never have thought that he could have pulled off a French accent. Well, not only does he pull it off, he nails it! Of course, it helps that he grew up speaking French. Seriously guys, this is basically 30 minutes of swooning over a hot French accent. If you're a fan of this series, get this audiobook! If you're a fan of these authors, get this audiobook! If you've been wanting to try out audiobooks, this is less than $2, so get this audiobook! If you like sexy French accents, get this audiobook!
Mia and I didn't meet so much as collide. At least, that's how it feels when I remember it.

But I found her again, got her talking, and in a way I can't explain, feel like I made her mine. As it all comes back to me — in stuttering, jarring flashes of words and lips and skin and laughter, the sounds of her moans and little choked-off begs, the feel of her hands all over me and her eyes holding onto mine as I moved over her — I know more fully that I'm hers.

This is pure genius! Ansel's voice comes to life???!!!!!

This is one that hurts more than helps though because I just wanted soooooooooo much more. This is about 30 minutes in length in Ansel's POV for the morning after his night with Mia and it is AWESOME but leaves you wanting in such a bad way!!!!

Only 30 minutes long. It's a nice enough bonus story of the morning after Ansel and Mia's Vegas adventures. I would have liked to know even more about what was going through Ansel's head during more stages of this unconventional relationship, but this was okay. Jason Carpenter's narration with the French accent was quite good. Three stars. I liked it.

"Mia and I didn't meet so much as collide. At least that's how it feels when I remember it."

I really liked having Ansel's POV of the morning after meeting Mia. To see Mia through his eyes was great and I liked knowing his first impression of her the night they met as well when he first woke up next to her.

"I’m twenty eight, and just woke in a hotel in Las Vegas married. The fact that I’m not completely freaking out, or searching for the easiest most accessible exit makes absolutely no sense. Instead, I’m just.. calm."

It's not really long, about a 30 minute listen really, but I really don't regret paying for it. I'd even go as far as saying that it was worth it to be able to listen to Ansel tell us about his version of his first encounter with Mia and some details about their wild night as newly weds ;)

"...But I found her again, got her talking, and in a way I can't explain, feel like I made her mine.
As it all comes back to me — in stuttering, jarring flashes of words and lips and skin and laughter, the sounds of her moans and little choked-off begs, the feel of her hands all over me and her eyes holding onto mine as I moved over her — I know more fully that I'm hers."


I gave the audio book 5 stars but it was really only 4,5 stars because - and I know I'm going to get rotten tomatoes thrown at me - the French accent, even though endearing, just didn't do it for me, especially when Ansel spoke French to Finn and Oliver. It might have to do with the fact that I am French though, so you, lovely English listener, should normally have little "audiorgasms" while listening to Jason whisper in your eager little ears!

"I’d seen a hundred girls look at me like that from across the room, but it had never felt like that. Like the air had ignited in the space between us, and the breath had been knocked from my lungs."

Even though this little bit of Ansel and Mia's story isn't essential to the main story, I'm still glad I ...heard it? I loved hearing Ansel's take on the story, which is something we didn't get in Sweet Filthy Boy since the book was written from Mia POV.

This is a delicious little extra that follows on from Sweet Filthy Boy. It’s only available in audiobook format, and is a glorious half hour of French-accented narration from the POV of Ansel – starting from the moment he wakes up the morning after his and Mia’s wild night together, as he reflects back on what they’ve already shared and decides that their one night together isn’t enough

"Mia and I didn’t meet, so much as collide."

A must-listen for fans of book 1, I really enjoyed this additional little insight into a character, and a couple, that I love so much.

4 stars.

This was a nice little refresher before book 2 comes out. Its Ansel's POV after waking up after their meeting in Vegas.
It is only in audio, and, ho boy, he has a French accent!!! :D

Listening to him narrate all slow and "Frenchy" was just awesome. I may have almost got into a car accident LOL...no, seriously.

Give me book 2!!!!
