ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very unique book. I loved every minute of it. I loved how realistic it was and I loved the heroine's strength.
Celeste Askew is an escort. She does what she likes to do and she gets paid for it. During the day she has a regular office job, but during the night she dives deep into decadence.
When she meets Royce Mattherson her world changes. He is wealthy, handsome and he makes it obvious that he has never, and will never, paid for sex. He simply wants something pretty on his arm and Celeste is paid handsomely to be seen with him for one night.

"You do your job well," he whispered in my ear.
His voice was low, seductive, and authoritative."But I don't pay for kicks."

Celeste finds herself unexpectably hurt by his behavior but she knows how to hide it well. She cannot help but notice how well he carries himself and that bothers her to no end.

He was composed. He was a man I could have liked.


Royce is surprisingly attracted to his beautiful escort and he does something that he cannot believe himself. He wants her for one week and he will compensate her well for her services.
Both characters find themselves both wanting and hating their arrangement.

I could take his money, revel in his sex, and be on my way. No harm, no foul.

When Royce finds out Celeste's big secret he has the inexplicable urge to fix her, mend her broken pieces, but at the same time he wants to keep his distance.


I didn't ride a white horse and I wasn't interested in saving some damsel in distress. You wanted my assistance, you clawed your way to it.


There are themes of abuse in the book. The heroine has suffered in the past and those experiences have mapped out who she is now. Her family certainly hasn't helped her and I loved how the author showed us how they destroyed Celeste's heart.
The chemistry between our two main characters is explosive and I think this book will pull on your heart strings. Do not miss it!

This was a well-written story. I liked how it treated the topic of childhood sexual abuse. I'm currently dealing with some similar issues and it was nice to see it treated with respect.

I liked the author's writing style and the tone of the story really satisfied me.

The romance was great as well. Overall, it was a great story and I look forward to reading more of the author's work.
