I started reading this book and thought that it was pretty interesting, there are not too many books out there from a male escort POV. Fast forward a few pages and BANG!!! Holy mother of goodness!!! What comes next took me by surprise and it was just hot, lustful actually, and when that scene was all over it left me wanting more.Jace Jamison is charming and sexy with a heart of gold, and he comes from a broken home. His mom did everything she could to give him and his brother a good life, but when his brother is killed, their lives changed forever and he has to assume the responsibility of head of household since his mom falls into a depression. Through a little research he finds out about being an escort and moves to Vegas where he starts doing just that. Money is good and seven years later he’s still doing it but after putting himself through college and investing wisely, he realizes money is not everything and his life’s still missing something.Adrienne has a pretty good life, a fulfilling career as a party planner and an amazingly fun best friend. She broke up with her boyfriend 8 months ago and since then she hasn’t been out with anyone let alone have sex.On different occasions she’s seen Jace with different women and labels him a man whore. After a few briefs encounters her best friend, Emilie, convinces her to take a leap of faith and have some fun with the GLC (God like creature.)They have a steamy night of passion and Adrienne disappears until life brings them back together. They talk and socialize but Jace doesn’t reveal to  Adrienne his line of work. Is she strong enough to deal with Jace’s secret? Would she be ok with his career choice? Most importantly, can she trust him?The chemistry these two share is, for lack of a better word, erotic, but is also full of kindness and  respect for each other.This book to me is about the redemption of Jace, an incredible man who, due to life terrible circumstances, have to do what he can in order to survive. And also, about Adrienne, the woman strong enough to understand him and support him.  It is truly a beautiful story, yeah, there are very steamy sex scenes but they complement the story instead of becoming the main point. The main characters are well developed and have soul, the secondary characters are interesting and a refreshing addition to the story. I think Isabel has a real winner on this book and I can’t wait to read the next one on this series. Highly recommended!
