"Hmm, that's my good baby girl. You're doing so well for me."
Right then, I knew it. I was hooked, and this would be my worst addiction yet.
Why bother with a real boyfriend when you can fuel your fantasies online? At least, that's how Esme feels about audio content creator Bugz, whose soothing voice provides all the words of affirmation she needs.
But when he starts a new account, creating steamy, intimate audios that make Esme tingle in all the best places, she finds herself struggling not to reach out.
Determined to keep things professional, she seeks physical fulfilment elsewhere and soon settles into a routine. With her Bugz addiction being fuelled more than ever, her friends keeping her grounded, and regular no strings sex with best friend Myles, everything seems perfect...
Until a drunken message she sends to Bugz actually gains his attention.
One message soon becomes a string of increasingly meaningful conversations, and her innocent addiction is blown out of proportion. But with his identity still a mystery, is their budding relationship destined for disaster? Or can Esme really have it all?
The Voice is book 1 in The Lovebugs series, following Esme and her friend group as they attempt to navigate romance in their late 20s... with mixed success!
