The second book in the Love and Laughter collection. I get the love connection with the title, Ms. Burke made me believe that, but I didn't find it at all funny. Knowing who placed Jordan on the website for male escort makes it seem way less vindictive than who he thought had done so, but it wasn't in any way funny to me. Tiana felt horrible about having to hire a man to spend time with her, I can totally see why too. How could you not feel like you're worth less because you have to PAY for some guy to spend time with you? And Jordan, Jordan felt betrayed. Yes meeting Tiana and falling for her made their unconventional start something they could probably laugh with their kids over in later years, but while it was happening...not funny. Not only that but Jordan kept quiet about him NOT being an actual escort, that's just strange behavior. Admittedly the sex scenes were hot, very hot, but at one point I got a little confused about how they came to be having rough sex. I had somehow missed the transition, I think because I was (sad to say) getting a little bored. I'm not normally one to skim pages, but the beginning didn't hold my attention very well. After they've been intimate things seem to get better, but the fact that I lost interest at all during the story leaves me with no choice but to give this three stars. It wasn't badly written, in fact it was pretty good, the idea was kind of fun too, but I still lost interest in parts.
