Review: Will and Simone
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 7, 2013
This is the first Jon Bradbury novel I have read. Simone hits a severe financial road block and needs to make some money fast. Her best friend suggests she sign on with an escort agency and find herself a sugar daddy who will give her money and gifts in exchange for companionship and sex. On her first assignment she meets Will and they hit it off. Will is an author and one of his books has been optioned for a movie and he is now a multi millionaire.The story is straightforward but somewhat passionless as they don't have sex until the end of the book. Too much of the story revolved around Simone getting manicures, pedicures and getting her hair done. That might have worked if the book were longer and they worked on her feelings about becoming an escort while she was at the spa. Will was kind and generous but we don't get enough input into how he feels about women in general, Black women in particular and especially Simone.
