Book Overview


Ash


Despite everything I've done for my parents, I'll never be good enough for them. Instead of seeing a man to be proud of, they just see an embarrassment. I served four tours in Afghanistan but that doesn't mean anything to them. They only see the ink, the party life, and my short stint in jail.


And nothing else.


When they were in trouble, I handed over my life savings. I didn't think twice about it because they're my family, my blood. They raised me to be my own man and gave me everything I needed. It didn't matter that it was every penny I had. It didn't matter that the money was set aside for my future. My dreams.


Because they needed me.


But now they refuse to pay me back until I become the man they think I should be.




Alessandra


I have an unusual professional.


I escort men, acting as their date to family functions or work parties. It's my job to act deeply in love with my client. And I always nail it.


But it's not what you think.


I'm not a prostitute.

I'm not a call girl.

I'm an actress.

Get it right.


There are strict rules when it comes to my profession. There is no touching, kissing, or anything but hand-holding. Those who choose not to comply will get a swift kick in the nuts.


But all this goes to hell when Ash walks into my life.


My Review

*ARC Provided for an Honest Review*

I definitely enjoyed that. I actually think that the characters were enough to ignite the whole book. I mean, for the first time in quiet sometime I did not care about the storyline because the characters were so interesting that I completely forgot there was going to be a twist.

Ash is like completely arrogant ass! That was my first take on him. If his life story wasn't what it was I have no doubt that until the book was finished, I'd still dislike him. He was like an arrogant ass who lives a carefree life. Alessandra on the other hand is like a ball and she's too intelligent. She has an attitude too and I liked it. She's a strong character.

I have read a few from E.L. Todd before but I didn't read the books which this was supposed to be a spin-off to. I loved the book, would recommend it to everyone and as always, I expected nothing less from the author!

Excerpt



I sighed and left the bed. “You should go. I need to get ready.”

“For what?” His voice sounded raspy because we hadn’t spoken in so long.

I cringed because I didn’t want to say it. “I’m seeing Brad.” Guilt flushed through me. Was I really the kind of girl that went on a date right after I slept with someone? It grossed me out.

Ash’s eyes immediately darkened and he looked pissed. A fire erupted in his eyes, but the flames were black. “So, you’re just going to run off and have dinner with this chump?”

I didn’t want to fight so I kept my mouth shut.

He gripped me by the wrist and yanked me back into bed. “Call it off.”

“Call it off?” I asked incredulously. “I’m supposed to meet him in a little over an hour.”

“Tell him you’re sick.” He squeezed my wrist.

“I’m not bailing on him.”

“Just do it,” he ordered.

“And why should I?” I grew heated, all the anger coming back. “Give me one good reason, Ash.”

He held my gaze without blinking. “Me.”

“You?” I couldn’t keep the venom out of my voice. “What about you? I should ditch a nice guy so I can keep being your fuck buddy? What’s the point in that?”

“It’s pretty damn clear you’d rather be with me instead of him.”

His cockiness was usually endearing but now it was just irritating. “You’re such an ass.” I yanked my arm out of his grasp.

He grabbed me again. “Why go to him when you have me? I make you happy. I give you what you need. It doesn’t make any sense to go out with him. You really want some lame lawyer?”

“He’s a very nice guy.”

“Like you want a nice guy,” he barked. “You want me. Why else would you have slept with me for two days?”

I didn’t answer his question. “I’m not going to keep doing this, Ash. I need something more than a fuck buddy. I’m looking for a relationship, a long lasting one. This was fun while it lasted but it’s over. Let’s just walk away and move on.”
