Explicit Transactions by Hayden Hall
5.0

The minute Luca lays eyes on Austin, he’s a goner. Yes, he’s paying Austin for weekends spent together. Yes, they’re basically boyfriends, but if you’re paying for that person’s attention and ignore the fact that you’re growing real feelings for your rent boy, you can pretend that isn’t true.

The minute Austin sees Luca, he’s a goner. Yes, he’s being paid to spend his weekends with Luca, but it isn’t like it’s hard… Um… difficult. Because it’s definitely hard – and Austin doesn’t need to fake that for Luca. He feels things for Luca that he’s never felt for a client before. He’s feeling all the real things – and that’s a dangerous way to feel for a paid escort.

Luca and Austin both started out as orphans, but Luca was adopted by the DiMarco family, loved and groomed to take over the role of the “cleaner-upper”, aka the lawyer. He wants companionship without the mess that comes with a real relationship – but clearly, he’s failing at avoiding it from the very first minute they lock eyes. Austin wasn’t as lucky as Luca and this is why he’s a prince of the night, selling himself to keep himself and his best friend/adoptive sister afloat and safe.

When the DiMarco family’s business dealings put Luca, and Austin by association, in danger, will the two ever have their chance to be together for real or will Austin’s Prince Charming turn into a frog?

I received a complimentary copy of this book and, as always, my review is honest and unpaid.
