Call Girls: The Beginning by Emma Jaye is a very succinct, tease of an introduction to her erotica series but not in such a way where things were left untold. Her plot left me feeling satisfied and immediately ready for the next novel in the series.As a protagonist, Sasha was very believable. I found myself empathizing with her and wanting her to experience what pleasures life has to offer: she was held back for far too long. Given her mindset towards the middle of the plot, her characterization seemed to progress naturally. I didn't find myself chuckling at her logic at any time: the desperation for income and self-affirmation she felt was assuredly an intense force that begged for release and satisfaction.Jaye's support protagonist, Max, has an ego as large as his character, and it suits him. It acts as a perfect foil for Sasha's caution, giving her realizations she needs to grow as a character.I truly felt as if I was living this stark turning point in Sasha's life, beside her, spectating her avid curiosities at the beginning of the novel and watching as her tribulations acted as a catalyst, facilitating her self-actualization.There was no overwriting to speak of, and I never felt as if I was distant from a scene and unable to see where I was or who I was with.Clearly, Jaye knows her craft.I highly recommend Call Girls: The Beginning for anyone who enjoys erotica. Five stars.
