It is a prequel to the author's second full length novel called Discretion.  It follows Caroline McBride on her escapades as an escort girl, or a professional "girlfriend".  There are many cliches going on in this story - poor college girl living a double life; she gets into the business at her roommate's recommendation; they get a rather high profile client; and of course, she has a boyfriend on the side.  But you know, it all works.  The sex scenes were pretty graphic but not trashy.As I understand, the author was a federal prosecutor specializing in sex crimes.  So she knows what she's talking about.  The writing came across very solid and real.  I connected with Caroline and the dilemma that she was running through her head.  It was fast paced and you really feel a sense of urgency and danger; Caroline living a secret double life and trying not to get caught.Based on this, I will definitely check out the author's other works.Rating: 4/5.Recommendation: It is a quick coffee break read and it gets your blood going.
