Summary
Readers have been enthralled by Emily Brontë’s classic novel of the tragic love between beautiful, spirited Catherine Earnshaw and dark, brooding alpha Heathcliff—the restrained desire between the two star-crossed lovers has always smoldered on the page.
Now, I.J. Miller invites you back to the stark, raw beauty of the English moors to revisit their explosive love story, leaving nothing left to the imagination … you’ve never experienced Wuthering Heights with this much heat.
Heathcliff, an orphan, recognizes his soulmate in wild, impulsive Catherine, the only woman who can tame his self-destructive nature. And Catherine cannot deny the all-consuming desire she feels for him, despite his low birth.
Together they engage in a fiery affair—one that will possess them, enslave them, and change their destinies forever ...
I.J. Miller’s adaptation will leave you breathless. Wuthering Nights is not your grandmother’s version of the story—and definitely NSFW.
Would you listen to Wuthering Nights: An Erotic Retelling of Wuthering Heights again? Why?
Most certainly. A confident delivery, appropriately matched to character and regional accent works beautifully, even if Heathcliff sometimes seems a little comedy Yorkshire. The story follows accurately that of the original accurately, and has some really nice touches bringing in words, phrases and speeches I remember well.The erotic aspects are well written, most certainly explicit and, one must say, thoroughly enjoyable. They fit with the characters and situations perfectly, and you can imagine perfectly that these are the missing elements from Bronte's original - if only the Victorian publishers had been a little more open minded I like to think this is exactly what she had in mind!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Tricky. Nellie is considerably less annoying than in the original, and Catherine is perhaps more self-indulgent... Isabella becomes a more rounded character, and you do feel for both her temptation and predicament as we proceed. Hindley is as obnoxious as ever... On balance I think probably Heathcliff, brutal as he is in his frustration and anger, but it's a close run thing between him, Catherine and Nellie,What does Joy Pratt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
She delivers the story well, with a tone that is engaging. At no point does she try and overplay the erotic aspects with faux sensuality, which frequently destroys the erotic element of audiobooks. She reads the whole as a proper story superbly, with excellent pace, intonation and characterisation; if there's one thing she brings that I couldn't have gained from a reading, it's the feminine voice, which adds immensely to the story.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Ha! Not laugh or cry, but it did elicit a reaction.Any additional comments?
One of the best erotic books I've read or listened to, with excellent narration.Certainly fills the gaps!

Character of Nell is greatly improved and add extra arc to her story. I wish there was more of her activities as I thoroughly enjoyed every moment with her.
This is well worth a read and I hope it stays in the literature Lexicon for sometime. I will be buying many copies of this and giving it to all my friends who love romance and afraid of them all dark side.
If any book is deserves five stars with it is this one.

The author herself wasn't ready to take on this challenge either; the mixed use of modern and archaic names for the private areas caught me off guard every time, and many erotic passages were unnecessary and frankly excessive. Made my eyes roll.
It took me a long time to finish the book.
Couldn't stand the reader.
