Synopsis:
Jace Jamison is every woman’s
fantasy. He’s a mysterious businessman willing to sweep you off your feet, a
tattooed bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and a sexy friend you want
to take that next step with. Jace is everything and anything you want him to
be. He’s a highly paid escort.
But nobody knows who Jace really
is; the man whose dad abandoned him, whose brother was killed, and who had to
take care of his mom at a young age. At the age of nineteen, he was living in
Sin City, ready for a life away from stress and struggle.
Adrienne has been having a sexual
drought since she broke up with her boyfriend. Even then she wasn’t getting
fully satisfied. Being an event planner, she’s constantly working at numerous
events. Several times she’s seen a man she can only refer to as the God-like
creature at her work functions. He’s devastatingly handsome, tall, and has
beautiful eyes, but he’s always with a different woman. The last thing she
needs is another player in her life.
After a few chance encounters
with Jace, her best friend convinces her to just get some good sex out of him
and not worry about who she’s seen him with. But what happens when she finds
out that he isn’t dating these women because he wants to, but because he’s paid
to?
Keeping his job a secret from
Adrienne seems easy at first, but when she begins meeting people he knows in
his escort life, and they begin getting closer, he knows he has to tell her
before someone else does.
When their worlds entwine, and
confessions are made, will they be able to work through it? Will she be able to
push aside his sins and focus on the good in him? Will Jace get what he’s never
had? A woman who wants him despite what he’s done. Or will living in sin cost
him what he never knew he wanted?
Excerpt:
It’s been almost two weeks since
I’ve had the best sex of my life. I thought fucking him would settle a craving,
and I’d be good to go for a while. Instead, it awakened a sexual beast that I
had living inside of me. It’s all I think about now.
Sex.
I
want it.
I
need it.
I fantasize about Jace and his huge hands
doing wonderful things to my body. I can still remember the way his tongue felt
as he slid it into my pussy, and the warmth of his mouth as his lips encircled
my clit. I was sore for days. My entire body ached from the pounding he gave
me. I’ve used my fingers and my vibrator, and neither one will do. I crave his
body like a pregnant woman craves pickles and ice cream.
How can I tell him that I want to use his
body for my own pleasure? What would I even say to him? I’ve never had to chase
after a guy. I haven’t asked anybody out on a date, haven’t initiated the first
kiss, and certainly haven’t asked anybody if they want to be fuck buddies. I
just can’t do that. Plus, I have no idea how to get a hold of him. I only know
where he lives, and I definitely won’t be showing up to his suite like some
sort of stalker psycho.
I
groan and force myself to get out of bed. Before I make it to the bathroom, my
phone vibrates on my nightstand. It’s Em.
“Hello?”
“Wake
up, we have plans,” she says excitedly.
“Ugh.
No. I can’t deal with your happiness right now.”
“Too
bad. Get up because we have places to be.”
“How
come I never know about our plans until the last minute?”
“I
don’t know. I’m on my way over. It’s already ten, so stop being a lazy bum.”
The phone clicks and I go use the
bathroom, brush my teeth, and pull my hair into a messy bun on top of my head.
I put on some shorts, flip flops and a white tank top. By the time I’m dressed,
I hear Em banging on the door like she’s the cops.
“Hey!
Why are you trying to break my door down?” I say as I pull the door open.
She
gives me a shrug. “I thought maybe you had gone back to sleep, so I was
prepared to wake you up.”
“Well,
I proved you wrong. I’m ready and everything, see?” I say, extending my arms
and showing her that I’m dressed.
She eyes me with a disgusted look on her
face. “If that’s what you call ready. It doesn’t matter anyway. We’re going to
go get pampered. Nails, hair, waxing.”
“Waxing?”
I say, interrupting her. “I think I’ll pass. Last time you convinced me to get
waxed, my hoo-ha was sore for days! No thank you.”
“Stop being so dramatic,” she laughs. “I’m
sorry. Last time the chick was new. This time, it won’t be the same one. I
promise. We need to go get prettied up, go out to dinner with these two,
hopefully-not-lame bitches, and then hit a club up and find some sexy men to
dance with. That’s the plan.”
She
says the last part with finality, flips her hair over her shoulder and walks
towards out door.
“I
guess I could use a few drinks,” I say, following her down the hall.
“Still
not over the king?” she asks with a laugh.
“Oh
shush,” I say, playfully pushing her.
“Hell,
from what you told me, I wouldn’t be over him either. I’d be scaling the
building trying to get to him.”
A loud and embarrassing laugh escapes my
throat. A few people nearby all turn and look in our direction. Ignoring the
stares, I continue to laugh. “Oh my gosh, Em. You’re too much. I picture you
climbing the building like Spiderman and shit. Oh God, that’s too funny,” I
say, unable to stop my laughter.
“You
think I’m playing. I’d be camped out on that balcony waiting to pounce him.”
She lets out a small laugh at herself. “I think you’re crazy for not wanting to
be with him again. You said yourself he was amazing in bed…and huge! It’s not
like you’re getting any elsewhere.” She gives me a pointed look.
“Well,
thanks for reminding me,” I say and roll my eyes. “I don’t know what you think
I’m supposed to do. I don’t have his number, and showing up to his place would
be desperate and sad. I won’t do that.”
Emilie lets out a dramatic sigh.
“Whatever. Guess you’ll have to find you another man tonight. He probably won’t
be God-like, or be as good in bed, or have a huge…”
“Okay!”
I say, interrupting her sentence. “I get it. Let’s just go.”
My Review: 5 stars
What a fantastic book! I loved that it was from both Jace and
Adrienne's points of view, alternating. But I really loved that it was about a
relationship that started when no one thought about it. Sometimes, all it takes
is one look and you're interested. That's how this all started. I thought it
was funny that Adrienne didn't even look up to see who helped her get out of
the cab, and then Jace's reaction just made it that much better. I really liked
Jace, despite or maybe even in spite of what he did for a living. People gotta
pay bills all over, and if other people want to pay you to spend time with
them? That's really a no-brainer. A little different for a guy than a girl,
just because of the way that society is. But I'm sure that those three weeks
that he didn't see Adrienne after their night together drove him crazy with
insecurity. I've got to say that she took things better than expected, but only
because I think she was already starting to put the pieces together. I
really liked that Jace was honest with Adrienne once she found out what he had
done for a living, and I liked her even more for being willing to see things
from his perspective once she had a chance to calm down. Speaking of honest, when Jace was telling Adrienne how he
felt – that was fantastic for a guy to do. Just lay it all on the line. I can
not wait for the next couple of books in this series. Isabel wrote some scorching
love scenes that were so freaking hot, amazing and just what every dirty girl
loves to read.
