5.0

I am quite surprised by my 5 star rating. I disliked the first chapter so much, I almost stopped reading. Chapter two was better but I was still on the fence. I'm so glad I kept on. It became a thoroughly enjoyable read with fully fleshed out, bent, broken, and undiscovered, complex characters. 
Be aware there are quite a few 'steamy' scenes. I am not usually a fan of awkward or virginal sex scenes. I usually do my best to avoid such content in books, perhaps that is why it took me so long to read this. However they were handled so well and honestly that it made this an enjoyable and insightful read.

This book was steamy!! 
I really enjoyed it & loved the whole ‘pretty man’ (as apposed go pretty women) vibe. 
My only criticism would be that it did feel like it was about getting as many sex scenes in to the book as possible!! 
Having said that I found Stella and Michael adorable and loved their individual stories and how there insecurities and lack of communication shaped their relationship.

embla_v's review against another edition

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted

4.5

En bok som är väldigt underhållande och hela tiden håller ens intresse fångat. 

Stella älskar sitt jobb men det tar upp all hennes tid. När Stella bestämmer sig för att hitta någon, inser hon att hon inte har "tillräckligt" med erfarenhet. Detta gör att hon fattar det enda logiska beslutet, att hyra en escort. Michael hatar sitt jobb men är i ständigt behov av pengar vilket gör att han tackar ja till Stellas erbjudande. Men när ett professionellt förhållande förändras till något annat förändras allt. 

Jag tyckte att boken var väldigt underhållande, rolig och intresseväckande. Den var också lite steamy. Rekommenderar till den som vill ha en gullig romans med mycket känslor och spice. 18+ (eller inte)
