Hired Help by Harper Bliss

3.0

A short and spicy story following a woman desperate for some release after a breakup leaves her in a dry spell, who hires a by-referal-only high-end and very expensive sex worker.
I quite enjoyed the way the story gaves us an insight into Olivia's broken heart at first and the writing is good. Most of this book is sexy and if you enjoy femmexfemme cis erotica with very little kink, but a lot of orgasms this short story might entertain you as well.
I don't much care for super rich characters and while I know they too can feel human emotions it is hard for me to feel too much empathy for a character, who has "millions in the bank", so that was unfortunately a personal problem for me. I also wish there had been at least a little bit of negotiation in what was going to happen during the encounter before and that the end had been a bit less abrupt.
But I really like that Olivia didn't get weird about Scarlet's work (besides her own initial reluctance to hire someone) and that this little short story managed to build a connection between the two characters.
