Summary

He knew it was a dumb stunt from the start. A midnight run through a cemetery to impress a couple of girls isn't the stuff of legend, but Alex Carlisle longs to escape the crushing mediocrity of life after high school.

Then, he stumbles upon the ritual, the cultists, and two bound and bloodied women. Alex intervenes, and the ritual blows up in his face, leaving him bound to them both: Rachel and Lorelei, an angel and a succubus. It’s hardly the sort of challenge a guy can face with dignity when he still lives at home with his mom.

Alex never imagined falling for an immortal demon seductress or that he’d spend his nights dodging her co-workers, her old boss, and every other supernatural freak in Seattle. He never thought a woman like Lorelei could have a rival like Rachel, either. But then, nobody ever said adulthood would be easy.

Excellently written and saucy

I was a bit wary because of a review but it is fantastic. yes there's erotic scenes but this book is so well written you will love it.. Demons, angels, vampires even a werewolf but its main character, Alex, is a mortal with an old soul and as I've said it is just amazingly well written that I'm off to download the next in the series 😍.. ps. Tess Irondale has the best narration I've ever heard..

A good story mixed with too much repetitive boredom

It was more like listening to readers wives. A good story ruined by far too much repetitive sex scenes

Read the book!

Call me a fan, I don't care, but I really, really love the story! Okay, back down to earth and some realistic comment; I would advice reading the story, before trying to listen to it. There are flashbacks into the history of the MC's previous life experiences. If you have read the story, these are obvious because of the font, but the audio isn't as obvious, which makes the flashback-windows rather confusing, especially if you don't know the story! I'm not going into the storyline, you can look up the E-book review for that. The story telling is crisp, well articulated and overall fine quality. I like the voices used for the two main women in the story, they aren't what I imagined, when reading, but after having listened to them some longer they seem to fit perfectly.

2nd time

I've read all in series but listening adds depth to this story, Tess irondale in character only has to say "what.." and my bones melt.

More to it than expected

If you could sum up Good Intentions in three words, what would they be?

Different sexy intriguing

Any additional comments?

To be honest I was just expecting this to be all about the sex but even tho it is a large factor it is not the whole thing.
There is a lot more to the story and the characters develop nicely.

Well worth a listen and I will be getting the next book.

Just plain fun

The erotica is a bit much at times, but I don't hate it. The story is amusing, cute and clever. It's a fun time if you can stomach some OTT boinking, a rather competent urban fantasy story. At times I find myself wishing the sex would get out of the way of the plot, but at times it is actually relevant to the unfolding of the plot, which is nice too. Performance is solid, I feel.

Fun fantasy for adults

Fun fantasy for "adults," demons, angels, and witches with some erotica mixed in for good measure

hot, funny and exciting.

if you're a fan of supernatural fiction, well written though sometimes cringe worthy sex scenes, funny dialogue and action, good intentions is worth the listen

I'm going on to book 2 as soon as I post this review!

Epic paranormal

A good long listen and brought to life by Tess Ironside.
So much in this that it could easily have been made into a series on its own.
Please note that the author has provided plenty of warnings of what to expect in the description so if easily offended this is not the genre for you.
