Explicit Transactions
by Hayden Hall
This was my first book by Hayden Hall, and I really enjoyed it. Austin grew up in an orphanage where he met his sister in everything but in blood. She was undergoing gender affirming care and Austin was working as a rent boy for the wealthy to take care of them both. He was a very sweet MC who had long ago given up on love because he didn’t see his worth properly.
Luca, who was part of the DiMarco family, was the perfect example of why money isn’t everything. He was struggling with loneliness but also with the guilt and shame he caried because of his family’s business. His friend Jack recommended Austin to him, so their relationship came from an arrangement that quickly turned into more, even though they were only subconsciously aware of the change. From the very beginning, we could see how their bond went beyond that of a rent boy and his client. Not only did they spend a lot of time together cuddling, talking, and just enjoying each other’s company, but they also longed to be together when they were apart.
I appreciated that Luca never treated Austin as less than for his work, but instead wanted to please him and treat him to as many pleasures as he could. He soon realised that contrary to many of his past relationships, Austin enjoyed simple things and didn’t need fancy restaurants to want to spend time with Luca, he just wanted to feel loved.
I really enjoyed this book, it was sweet but also the chemistry between them was off the charts
