"Come on, don't be a tease. You can call that a preview. Now I want the whole show."Boy, this book IS the whole show! Nothing sexual is off limits, which makes sense because the main character is an escort. Coop has been an escort for 8 years, so you have to know that he has tried it all and seen it all - at least for the most part. He understands his clients' needs, and even with new ones, he plays along, even experiencing some m/m action - that excites and disturbs him at the same time.This is a raw story, more so than I expected - it is hardcore sex, and it leaves nothing to the imagination, but it had to be done this way because it is told from Coop's point of view, and he lives the life - so readers get an up close and personal view, and yes, the kink might disturb some, but the synopsis provides a warning for what's to come.It's a fairly quick read that sucks you in and takes you on an erotic ride and then lets you, literally and figuratively, get off and become invested in the tragic back story of Coop and Nic as well as Coop's old/new relationship with Mia.The male POV is perfect for a story like Tease. Readers are allowed to get into Coop's psyche - even if that in itself is a bit disturbing. Missy makes her readers understand why Coop chose this path, and despite the fact that we may not agree with what Coop is doing, by getting the story from his point of view, we can at least see his reasoning rather than hearing it second hand from a female point of view.The hardest part I had with Coop is that he doesn't own his choices - it's always because his family needed him to do this, and he didn't see any other way, even though it doesn't seem like he tried too hard to figure one out; Also, the fact that he didn't walk away for love and only does it when one of his clients gives him an out is baffling to me.  But I think this is exactly what Missy wants us to feel - we seem to be TEASED throughout the entire story, and it is a brilliant way to draw readers in and keep them engrossed until the end.If you're in the mood to walk on the kinky side and read from a tell it like it is male perspective, take that walk with Tease!Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review.4 poison apples!
