Review: Unlike the author, I wouldn't say this was an erotic read but it's still good.

The author warns that this is more erotic than anything she has ever written. I don't agree with that. Yes there are sex scenes but nothing kinky or erotic.That aside, I really enjoyed this unconventional love story. Jessica and Connor don't meet the conventional way. Jessica is on her own in the world and is now struggling to afford her college education. At a party she hears some other girls talking about a website where girls offer themselves to rich men. As much as Jessica tries to talk herself out of it being prostitution and a means to an end, she registers with the site.Connor was married for 5 years but his wife died. He has some guilt over the marriage and decides he doesn't want a relationship, just sex. He had joined the site but having met with three potential women he realises they are all just after money. He gives the site one last chance and that's when he sees Jessica's profile.They meet and after discussing what he wants, Jessica agrees to the arrangement. Connor moves her into a new apartment and gives her money. The first time they have sex, Connor feels more than he bargained for so after that, sex becomes rather clinical between them with Connor visiting her at the same time every night and bringing enough food for two people but he never stays and eats with her afterwards. To protect herself, Jessica decides never to let him see her top half and therefore always keeps her t-shirt on!Slowly, the sex starts to change between them and Connor finds himself wanting to stay longer and spend time with her. What started out as an arrangement soon turns to something more. Connor is very alpha male. He has his rules for how he wants Jessica to act but although she is only 20, she gives as good as she gets.I liked both Connor and Jesscia and am glad they got their HEA. I have given the book 4 stars as I feel there were a few inconsistencies. Connor demanded a full health check and background check from Jessica but then some things came as a surprise to him which I found odd as he should have known from the results of both checks. I also felt the ending was a bit rushed but I think that happens in shorter stories. As for the epilogue, I think there is a small error in there or maybe it was me reading it wrong, but I don't think so!A good read and I look forward to the authors next book...I just wish they were longer!
