The Arrangement by Robyn Harding
4.0

I read Robyn Harding's Her Pretty Face last summer and loved it so when I saw she had wrote another i knew i had to read it.

This was one crazy fast paced twisty thriller. Filled with seduction, betrayal, revenge, lies and murder. The characters were a little dark between the obessive, nacarisstic and sociopath that Harding has created. Harding is definitely a master at writing a page turner that blows your mind. This is one book I recommend you add to your summer reading list immediately.

Nat, a new York city art student struggling to pay her rent, tuition and bills with her part time job. When she's suddenly fired and is even deeper in financial trouble. Nat confides her struggles to her friend that seems to have it all, the penthouse apartment, the designer clothes everything Nat wishes for. That's when stuff gets interesting because it so happens her friend is a sugar baby. It sounds easy enough that Nat thinks she can do a few no strings attached dates, just enough until she catches up on her bills and has a little extra money in the bank. Nat found what seemed to be the perfect sugar daddy, Gabe, who she thought was the real deal. Nat and Gabe ended up making an areangement. Nat viewed this as real and was falling for this wealthy older man who was hiding secrets about his real life. Then things start sprialing out of control he breaks up with Nat. Nat is distraught and turns to alcohol becoming a bit of a crazed stalker, she has to get Gabe back but at what costs. She befriends his daughter, even going to a party at her house where Nat convinces Gabe to take her back, they are in love after all. The night they meet to reconnect Gabe is found dead. Nat can't remember anything and is arrested for his murder. Did she really murder the man she loved?
