Perfect Ten is the first escort book I've read and it was the perfect book to begin my introduction into the escort storyline. It was a sexy, sensual, and sophisticated read, but don't worry, it has its naughtiness too. I say it's sophisticated because it's well-written and the main characters are wealthy, but they aren't the stuck up, snobby, "I think I'm better than everyone else" kind of rich people - well, most of them aren't anyway. They are kind, warm, good-hearted, and fashionable people. Perfect Ten is a sweet, easy, humorous read and I hated it whenever I had to pull myself away from the book. It was so awesome - I just loved it!
Joe Starling is an escort for Perfect Ten. He's the best in the business and it's not hard to understand why. The man is a perfect ten with his delicious body and face, but what makes him irresistible is how magnificent he is on the inside. Although it's true that in the beginning, he's a total slut, but now he's just Faith's slut. Joe will do anything she wants and he's insatiable, but he really a great guy. He's sweet, thoughtful, and respectful - a true gentleman, but have no fear ladies, he's a naughty, dirty gentleman too. I didn't always like some of the things he's done or says, but he's faithful, protective, and he just has this inner warmth about him that you can't help but love him.
Faith Graham grew up with four "perfect" women with "perfect" stick thin bodies. She has been bullied by her mother and sisters because she actually has a figure with curves. I hated how they and her mother's family treated her, but it wasn't all bad because her father's family, and especially her father, completely adore her. She has some pretty awesome friends too, but even with those positives, Faith is insecure and so confused why someone who looks like Joe would want someone who looks like her.
Deep down Faith knows she's beautiful, but it takes awhile for her to be confident about her body and to trust that Joe truly desires her. I think Ms. Worrell did a great job of setting the stage of the initial insecureness and then the steady build up of confidence. I could feel myself starting to feel a smidgen of annoyance at Faith's constant "I don't fit with how Joe looks," but then she started to see herself the way Joe does and she stopped doubted him and herself so much. Faith really is a wonderful heroine and I loved her for her kindness and her newfound strength and confidence.
Joe and Faith have quite a few obstacles that they have to overcome, but they love each other and get their HEA. I absolutely loved this book and how meaningful it was. I thought it was realistic, and Ms. Worrell couldn't have done a better job. I can't wait to see what else she comes up with and I would love to see Faith's meddling friends get their own stories!

Like to have something light and easy to read when I’m waiting for people or doing dinner solo, but this is just too dumb to go on. Terrible writing. Only kept at it as long as I did because the smut is decent.

Joe Starling is an unapologetic hotshot who is at the top of his game at Perfect Ten escorts. He’s good at what he does and he’s not afraid to admit it. He’s dirty and sexy, and extremely good looking with a good dose of arrogance to solidify his role as top dog. Women tend to fawn all over him, and even though his job is to be just their companion, he sometimes rides that line like a balance beam while trying to avoid the temptation of sleeping with his clients. He’s extremely professional, but temptation has definitely won some of his battles.
This book wasn’t what I was expecting at all, When Joe meets Faith Graham as a new client he is immediately smitten with her, and it’s obvious that his tough exterior will soon be disheveled due to the fact that he can’t get enough of Faith. Faith has some major issues with insecurities about her appearance, and her first glance at Mr. Perfection had her wanting to do a fast sprint towards the hills. Faith isn’t a size two, she’s curvy and voluptuous, and beautiful, but she doesn’t see it that way since she’s been ridiculed by her horrible sisters and mother. So when Joe gives her the googly eyes she’s not only concerned with his intentions, but his mental sanity as well. It doesn’t help that he’s a paid escort, this just adds to her delusion that his actions aren’t real, because he fakes it for a living, giving her the misguided confidence that she’s right.
Joe is so sweet under his Casanova exterior, once he had his mind set on Faith he made it his mission to make her feel worthy of herself and wanted more than anything for her to actually feel like a confident beautiful woman. I loved seeing his transformation as well as Faith’s. They both helped each other get over some hurdles without even realizing it. And I truly believe that is the message that the Author was trying to convey. That it’s ok to be imperfect, and sometimes all you need is that one special person in your life to balance you out.
I love the message behind this story, and to be honest when I started reading I had no idea this was a book about a bigger girl with body issues. I’m so glad I went in blind because it was actually very refreshing and eye opening even to me as a reader, because we all have insecurities about something and I believe this story can open your eyes to the outer world and show you that not everyone sees you the way that you see yourself. And when I was done reading I felt really content and just kind of happy knowing that these things actually do happen in real life, and it’s nice to read a book that makes you feel like that can be true. Perfect Ten was such a nice surprise, full of hot steamy scenes and sweet heartfelt moments that you won’t forget. I really enjoyed this one.

Such a cute and steamy romance!
Joe Starling is the top escort at the Perfect Ten. He's devastatingly handsome, filthy rich and (with having had plenty of experience) incredible in bed. But after six years of meaningless sex, he find himself bored with the lifestyle and yearning for a change.
Faith Graham is an account who has been put down by her mother and sisters for always being too curvaceous. With the prodding of her friends, Faith decides to hire someone from Perfect Ten to escort her to her sister's wedding. She expects an Average Joe, but ends up with Joe Starling.
There is plenty of chemistry between these two characters. Joe loves Faith's figure and bolsters her confidence to rock her curves. Meanwhile, Faith makes Joe reevaluate his life and he starts making major decisions about his future. They couldn't be more perfect for each other! And did I mention that Joe is a dirty talker? Wowza!

I've finished this book yesterday, but decided to sleep on it before I write down my thoughts. After a day my feelings didn't change much. It wasn't a horrible read, but it was bad. The story was fine, I did like the premise and the main heroes (Faith more than Joe); since reading "Doctor's Delight" I have a soft spot for stories revolving around hired escorts (oh my!). Unfortunately this one lacked the charm of "Doctor's Delight". The characters were sometimes almost cartoonish in their behavior. My biggest disappointment was the big climax of the Sophie/Joe arch. She was presented and build as one of the biggest villains of the book, but the final act of her storyline felt incredibly awkward and silly. I felt the author rushed it, and just throw together the most cliched ideas. I don't have problems with cliches, in fact I like them. But here a good opportunity to add tension and drama (and to make the ending sweeter) was wasted.

An enjoyable humourous book for when you've got a couple of hours of downtime.
I enjoy reading books from the male POV and when you've got someone like Joe talking you can't help but have a smile on your face.
Faith was equally as likeable. While she did have self-esteem issues I don't think they were over the top as they can be in other novels. I did appreciate the author telling us she was a size 16. It's easier to imagine the heroine when you have specifics. It really grinds my gears when authors write about "curvy" girls who you later discover are skinny with a C cup...or just think they are fat because they ate out 3 days in a row.
What fell flat for me in this book is that as it got closer to the end, everything - including the characters - was starting to feel one-dimensional. It was like the author was wrapping it all up into a perfect romance where the H & h lived happily ever after. Conflict between the family disappeared, the crazy stalker went away after a conversation, your last job loves you so much she makes you her heir to her multi, multi millions. Puh-lease!
