I received and ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.I really enjoyed this book for the most part. It is very well written and even has a plausible storyline.An out of work girl named Jessica has reached her limits. Her English degree is getting her no where and she desperately needs to make money to pay her bills. After one bad turn follows another, she finds herself signing up for an escort service that matches girls with wealthy men to act as their dates. She is weary but desperate so she signs up and quickly gets a few responses. She does not feel comfortable with the first few, they gave her a creepy vibe. She eventually responds to one that does not freak her out. They meet, and she decides to go for it.Her new man has a lot of issues from his childhood and does not trust anyone. She feels a kindred spirit with him because she has her own demons lurking in her closet as well. For a time, everything is alright. Then she meets his dad. He is holding Luke's inheritance over his head. They have never really talked things out, so both father and son have the wrong idea about each other.The whole thing blows up in Jessica's face when her past comes back to haunt her. Luke goes running for the money, and Jessica is left to pick up the pieces. Or does she?The reason I give this book 4 stars instead of 5, is because I was a little let down with the ending. There was room for more of an awakening for Luke, and the rest of the story was so well written that I was disappointed in the quickness to the ending. It would have been better if the reader was left feeling that Luke really learned anything. It did not feel that was the case. But all in all it is a very entertaining quick read. I would recommend it to anyone who likes when the kids who had it hard come out ahead.
