Summary: Sydney is a city where anyone could find love. But like most techies, Amanda doesn’t have time to date. She’s an American in a foreign country with a Mom reminding her about the ticking clock. But in the twenty-first century, women have more options.
Her co-worker shows her the perfect alternative, a male escort. Why not?
Jayden Holt is a gorgeous, model quality male escort. He has no strings attached. Amanda thinks she might have hit the jackpot. But will she get too close to something that is too good to be true? Will he be man enough to not let her?

What I Liked: Initially, the plot drew me to the story. I have read and reviewed books where the woman is the escort (The Arrangement Series comes to mind) but the idea of a role reversal was intriguing to me. It is a short story and it did not take me long to read at all. The main character Amanda is likeable but it was hard to establish a connection with her because we really jump right into the story. No real character development. This story has so much potential but it was hard to capture it in such a small amount of pages.
Not So Much: The writing was eh. It’s not horrible but I wasn’t very impressed with the sentence structure. A lot of short, choppy non-descriptive sentences that left little to the imagination. The more I read the more I notice that sometimes the author writes so beautiful that the words float off the page into my mind but the plot goes absolutely nowhere. This story was the opposite for me – I felt the story has so much potential but the writing was just okay.
“Of course, I was good with the ball-busting career woman attitude. I’d worked hard for where I was. I was at a successful tech company, and living in a foreign country. I had all the student loans still to pay off to prove it.”
Do you see what I mean?
Overall: I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are looking to add a quick book to reach your book reading goal for the year.
