Review: Conflicted Feelings about this one..
Rating: 3 out of 5

*Contains some spoilers*To start with, I liked that the first book was free, and you could decide whether you wanted to continue with the series or not.  The first book definitely whetted my appetite to continue with the series, but as I got caught up in the life of Ariella, I started to feel irritated.For me it seemed as each book mirrored the previous one.  The was a lot of redundency and repittion of previous scenes, not to mention that there should have been an editor appointed to this book before it was ever allowed for purchase.  There was constant stupid little mistakes in the books that a good editor should have been able to pick up and flag, but somehow these errors made it to the final draft. *Example* Book 3 [Ch.6] - When Ariella and Sterling are in Paris.  The author clearly outlines and emphasises that Sterling does not like kissing on the lips (the verbal contract between Ariella and Sterling even highlights this as his #1 Rule of what not to do), yet in the chapter, the author decribes a moonlit walk where the couple has a embrace and he is kissing her deeply beneath the Parisian sky.  I mean come on!! - an editor should have been able to pick that up.Another contention I had with the book was that the reader is made to believe that this specific escort agency is top-notch and the girls dont act like common prostitues, but as Ariella gets deeper into the job, she starts acting quite sluttish.  Now I know you thinking, well duh, she is playing the part of an escort, but I somehow lost respect for her along the way to her sexual awakening/discovery.  I felt there was just too much bed hopping.  She literally went from one mans bed today, to the next man's the following day.  And to top it all off, she seemed quite flighty and shallow falling in love all over the place.Like I said, I liked the premise of this series, but I felt the execution could have been better delivered.  The author had a solid idea, but a good editor would have made this book amazing & untouchable in the erotic genre.Overall I give it 3 stars because I did like the idea of the book, but on the flip side i only give it 3 stars because of the poor editing and silly plot mistakes.
