*ARC provided by the author in exchange for my honest reviewThis is the first book in the Escort series and a sexy start it is!I tend to sit on the fence a lot in regards to escort reads but I didn’t in this case – I loved it. The opening scene was up and in your face (literally) and I was worried I was in for a whole lot of sex and not enough story but I was pleasantly relieved (ahem) and the development of Jace and Adrienne was an instant winner. I read it in one sitting so that tells you it was for me!Jace has come from a poor background, after his mother gives up on life after Jace’s brother was killed at a young age. Since then Jace has become her provider and he found an easy way of making a living by being an escort. Jace has now moved from New York where he lived and is working for the Elite escort agency in Sin City. He doesn’t do relationships, he just does his job but has a great group of workmates who work in the same agency. He first spots Adrienne as she is getting out of a taxi but then thereafter he spots her around town which is unusual to see the same person twice there and she gets under his skin, so much so he needs to get to know her.Adrienne has her own business as an events organiser and when she first meets Jace she is instantly attracted to him. However she has seen him in various locations with different women and immediately labels him as a manwhore.  But as her BFF Emilie points out, she is in a sexual drought and what would one night of hot sex with him harm? So Adrienne lets down her defences and just goes for it. They are brought more in to contact when Adrienne takes on a job to co-ordinate the opening of the club that Jace and two of his co-workers – Marc and Troy, have created. The story then ramps up with their relationship development and as all good hot romances need, we have some angst thrown in due to actions of an ex client and an ex-boyfriend. But the main part is how Adrienne will handle the truth when she finds out what Jace was.I really loved this read as it had just the right level of romance but was also hot. Some of the sexual content might be a little risqué to some but definitely not for me! It was smoking! I loved all the characters even the bitchy ex client Vivian was great to hate. The camaraderie with Jace and his co-workers was great, I loved how they met up after ‘jobs’ and shared confidences. The ‘sploshing’ incident just had me in hysterics, I can’t believe people love that! Ewww.Jace was so likable – he was charming, wealthy, and stunningly hot but with a hint of insecurity I just find so sexy. Adrienne was also a hit – she oozed confidence and gave as good as she got, she wasn’t afraid to take what she wanted. When she finds out about Jace I totally got her actions and her thought process she went through. The chemistry between the two just oozed off the kindle and gave for some scorching reading.This book was a great read for me and it encapsulated all I want to enjoy a hot sexy romance and a fabulous start to a series.  I am looking forward to Troy and Emilie in the next book.
