Divorced interior designer Leah doesn't want to go to her 20th high school reunion, but her best friend is organizing it, so she can't say no. To keep her from facing her cheating ex alone, her friend suggests that Leah hire an escort. Enter sexy younger man Jagger Holiday. A former model and struggling artist, Jagger pays his bills making women's fantasies come true. But there's something different about his relationship with Leah -- they're kindred spirits, and sparks are flying. But can this single mom make a relationship with a male escort work long-term?
While the ideas behind this book are so ridiculous it might also qualify as a fantasy, it's a well-written, fun book. Sexy Jagger helps Leah get her self-confidence back after it had been crushed by her cheating ex-husband, and artistic Leah gives Jagger more confidence in his work as a photographer. The chemistry between the two is smoking, and the family dynamics add depth to the book. It's a quick, fun read.

In No Strings Attached we meet Leah and her best friend Kari currently in the throes of discussing about their high school reunion. Leah wants to bring a date as she feels she needs to prove something to her ex husband Rich, and his new wife Shelley who Leah actually caught in bed together. Leah has made a new life for herself as a well known interior designer to the stars, she has her daughter Raven, but she still feels like there is something missing - a man.
Kari introduces Leah to the escort agency that she uses, and persuades Leah to book an escort for the reunion weekend. Leah reluctantly agrees, but when she spots Jagger Holiday, she is convinced... Jagger has a rule that he doesn't kiss or form an emotional connection with his clients, but all of his rules are broken when he meets Leah for the first time. Through Kristen's writing, the energy between them is palpable and I was immediately rooting for them to get it together properly!
This is hard for Jagger as he has built up walls around himself as he always loses those he cares about. Pretty much like Leah has too so it feels like fate brought them together.
The weekend of the reunion arrives and Leah can't wait to see Jagger again and have him on her arm - and in her bed! Well what can I say - Jagger is amazing and the passion between them is incredible, they are both so sensual. An argument ensues when Leah bumps into Rich and all of both Leah & Jagger's walls start breaking down. Neither want the amazing weekend to end but end it must and they part on sad terms for what they believe is the last time. Could they be falling in love with one another?
Jagger and Leah do meet again but not under the circumstances they would have wanted - and I must say although I suspected something was going to happen to Leah, I wasn't expecting that so Kristen surprised me with the ending!
I really enjoyed this, it was an easy read with 'real' characters that could be relatable to the right person. I always like a story where there is the POV from both main characters throughout so we can grasp how they are both feeling and that was great with this book. I can't wait to see what's in store next for Leah and Jagger - 4.5* from me!
