Now, I didn’t enjoy the first story in this as much as the first book, but then the second story totally brought me back. The third story wasn’t great to begin with, but it had an ending that really was intense and made me very eager to get ahold of Volume 3.
The book starts off in April when Mia is going to spend the month with a professional baseball player. Now, I was pretty excited about this, as baseball players are probably my favorite athletes, but the story didn’t end up the way you’d think. She starts off in Boston and is supposed to portray a normal “girlfriend” for Mason Murphy, who is considered quite the man-whore. But in order to get some sponsors, he needs to tone his image down. So Mia is hired by a PR person for Mason named Rachel. But when she gets there, she can see that Rachel actually kind of likes Mason, except for his slutty ways. And really, Mia can also tell that Mason kinda likes Rachel. So while Mia does the public image thing for Mason, she works to be a matchmaker for the two in the background. She misses Wes, the guy from January, but she knew that she had to tell him not to wait, because she had to complete this year in order to get the money she needed to pay off the people her father owed. Unfortunately he does take her up on this, as she sees gossip magazine pictures of him with a famous actress, who even answers his phone when Mia tries to call him one time.
May is a much better month. Mia gets to go to Hawaii to be a model, and even better, she gets to take her best friend Ginelle, and her younger sister Maddy with her! But there are things going on at home. Maddy has a new boyfriend, and it seems to be pretty serious. Mia is worried about her sister, but when she is invited to meet with Maddy’s boyfriend Matt’s parents for dinner, she at least gets to see that they are good people and that they really care about Maddy. And it does give Mia a bit of relief about leaving Maddy alone while she is off earning money. But back to Hawaii. Her first day she meets a Samoan model named Tai. Now, of course, what I picture is a very large guy, and he is described that way, but I have to say that I’m guessing he’s not what I’m thinking of, not large in a fat way, but just large as a man overall. Mia’s still feeling a bit jealous about Wes, even though she knows it isn’t fair to him. And so she and Tai have a lot of fun. And the sex, let’s just say the sex this month for Mia is pretty darn intense. Extremely insane! To the point that she even passes out from it one time. Tai is a big boy in every way. Now she knows according to one of his family members that Mia will not be the forever girl for him, and before Mia leaves, she may have to try to do a little matchmaking for him again when the right girl does show up. But as with all of the guys so far, she leaves with him as a best friend.
The final month in the book, June, Mia is sent to Washington D.C. to pose as the girlfriend of an older wealthy man, who is the father of a young, attractive Senator. She knows right away that the man, Warren, isn’t interested in her for sex, he just needs the “arm candy” to impress the other men who do the same. It turns out that once again there is already someone else in his life, someone that he cares about, and has ever since his wife, the mother of his son Aaron the senator, passed away. At first Mia does flirt with Aaron a little bit. But soon, while Mia does her best to help Warren in business with the schmoozing, Aaron turns into a bit of a pervert. Walking into her room while she’s asleep and having a very erotic dream about Wes, Aaron decides he is going to join her in bed, that her being naked and moaning in her sleep means she wants someone to take care of that. Later one when Aaron finds out about the romance between his father and this other woman, it sends Aaron a little bit over the edge, and he really comes after Mia. Fortunately Mia has friends who will be there in her time of need, even when things get to a pretty scary part.
We get a tiny excerpt for July, knowing that Mia will be going to be in a video for a Latin rapper. I will be interested to see where the story goes next. And of course I need to know how things will move forward with Wes, as the two of them have to keep things the way they are so that Mia can finish her year of earning money.

There is an attempted r@pe in June chapter :( very triggering.. I read until that part, then skipped the rest of June chapter based on warnings from other readers. The good news is the rest of the series isn't impacted if you skip it! It all still makes sense and isn't necessary to the plot.

3,5/5 ⭐️ en realidad.
En este libro seguimos conociendo las aventuras de Mía. En estos meses conoce a personas increíbles (sin dudas mi favorito fue Tai) y me gusta mucho como va evolucionando y su forma de ser. Aunque hay cosas que no termino de comprender como su relación con Wes y su forma de comportarse con otros hombres, que ojo, no me parece mal, pero si tiene el corazón comprometido no se me hace “correcto” que apenas al ver a un hombre ya esté excitada y pensando en llevárselo a la cama.
Otro punto que no me parece muy realista es que todo sea tan perfecto y se solucione tan rápido. Quizás un poco más de drama me gustaría más.
Vamos a ver cómo sigue el tercer libro...

I'm flying through this series! This volume had some twists & turns which I thought was good for the storyline. I also love how we saw some other 'clients' in this volume. Mia's clients are turning into family & friends which I love. I have to say, this series is not turning out like I thought it would. I thought every month would read the same with Mia sleeping with her clients but, that's not at all what's happening. She's more of a companion to most of them. This is also turning into a journey of self discovery for Mia. She's so used to putting her sister & dad before her, taking care of them & being a mother figure to her sister. Even though she's escorting to pay her dad's debt off, she's also learning form the experience with each client. Each story is very well told & very well written.

Calendar Girl 2 contains the next three parts of Mia's story, April, May and June, and is at once a delicious continuation of the first book and also very new and refreshing. Just as I started to feel nervous that all 12 stories would follow the same pattern, Audrey Carlan underlines that this is not an erotic series, but "erotic romance", meaning that if you remove sex from books, there is still a story. And for my part, I really liked the way the story developed in this book. And yet I didn't.
I loved April. I adore Mason and his friendship with Mia and his character development. Likewise, I really liked seeing Mia finding yet another female friend in the form of Rachel. I could probably have done without Alec, but that's just because being the hopeless romantic that I am on the inside, I really would like to see her get together with Wes, properly and for good. I also really liked May, for the way it brought back Mia's sister Maddy and her best friend Ginelle, whom I feel like might have been left out a bit too much of the story, especially since Maddy is really Mia's motivation for doing this.
June however. Not a fan. I hated the ending, or what led to it, but I also really admire Audrey Carlan for going there. And for putting focus on what Mia wants, not those who immediately want to hurt someone. That's something I always feel is important, it doesn't matter what anyone else wants, it matters what the victim wants. But I am not a fan of this either way.
I find it difficult to accurately rate books like this one, book with multiple stories in it, becaue inadvertenly you'll like some more than others. However, 4 stars is pretty much the average of my feelings about the three stories in this book, so it is as good as it get.

Resumiendo, Calendar girl 2 es una secuela que decae un poco pero que me gustó mucho igualmente. Una protagonista que ha evolucionado y con la que he logrado empatizar. Unos personajes muy interesantes a excepción del de Junio. Unos secundarios que cobran protagonismo, cosa que me encantó. Un ritmo en general muy bueno, pero con algún momento lento. El mes de Junio se me hizo algo pesado. Unos temas que le dan profundidad la historia y un giro argumental cara al final sorprendente. Una prosa por parte de la autora muy sencilla y directa. Un final que deja con ganas de más.

Continuing on with Mia's life, the next three months she is introduced to new men whom she forms a connection with not sexually but physically.
April she meets Mason Murphy with whom she strikes up an usual friendship and helps him fall in love with his PA.
May she meets Tai on set whilst doing a photo shoot and has a month long affair with him
June she meets Warren who is a rich old guy who needs Mia on his arm to score some deals. Mia helps him embrace the love he has for his girlfriend and not keep her in the dark. Unfortunately for Mia, Warren's son tries to assault Mia. This has traumatised her and she ends up in the hospital

Band 2 "Berührt" der "Calendar Girl" Reihe von @audreycarlan habe ich vor ein paar Wochen gelesen und fand es leider nicht so gut wie Band 1. Es hat gut angefangen, der April Abschnitt hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Leider wurde es im Mai extrem unrealistisch, und sobald Protagonistinnen während dem Sex ohnmächtig werden kann ich es einfach nicht mehr ernst nehmen. 🙄 (Sex mit übernatürlichen Wesen mal ausgeschlossen... Die dürfen dass 🧛🏻♂️😂 Aber hier sind alle Parteien auf jeden Fall menschlich ☝🏻) Der Juni war dann ein wenig melodramatisch und hatte einen sehr unschönen Nachgeschmack. Auch vom Schreibstil her, fand ich hat Audrey Carlan ein wenig nachgelassen. 🙁 Jedoch geht es mir oft so, dass ich die Folgebände nie so gut finde wie den ersten und wenn ich die komplette Reihe betrachte kann ich sie euch empfehlen, auch wenn der zweite Band etwas schwächelt. 🤗
