...and it all begins with Christy swearing to be done with relationships once and for all. After breaking off her engagement, she decides to take the non-relationship route and get on with her sex life by hiring a male escort. Certainly, the tequila induced mindset she currently is in, while spending the evening with the girls conjuring up hilarious ideas, has a lot to do with her words and actions--as she reaches to the sky and chants no more love..."Just give me orgasms". And low and behold and out of nowhere, Cole Bowen, the most sexually attractive available bachelor shows up underneath the partying girls' apartment balcony. Totally distracted, and thus, losing her balance, Christy falls off the ledge and lands right into the arms of Cole.From this moment on, Christy and Cole will never ever be able to turn around and have a do-over of the evening's events, and therefore, Christy will never be able to retract the words that came out of her mouth. For you see, Cole heard her proclamation, and he will later make an offer to her that she will not be able to refuse. And so the sexual relationship arrangement begins...Undoubtedly, the beginning of the story just sucked me into the narrative, but there is so much more to the story than I had anticipated. Both characters have huge emotional issues--Cole's issues stem from his mother walking out on him at a young age, which has him mentally blocking out love forever (and he's a bit of a control freak), and Christy's issues are her past food addictions and current food struggles.  I really liked how they were able to connect with each other, both physically and emotionally, to the point where their issues weren't as problematic: it's what bonded them together so effortlessly. And of course, the sexual attraction and copulation they repeatedly perform throughout is so erotically intoxicating that the attraction just heightens that much more.Truly a wonderfully written story--with a thought-provoking and endearing premise, intriguing and alluring characters, sinfully delicious and sensuously passionate relationship, one hot-controlling-dominant male, and a to-die-for happily-ever-after. Highly recommend for one enjoyable, wickedly romantic afternoon read!
