About this listen

Kiss him, sleep with him, but don’t ever fall in love with him.

The first time Wes Archer steps into Jack of Clubs, an exclusive London pleasure club, he’s completely confident he can heed the tried-and-true advice about becoming an escort. Wes gives himself away for free with casual hookups all the time. Why not make some cash doing what he already loves? And cash is something he desperately needs. His brother’s gambling addiction has taken their family’s home, saddled Wes with insurmountable debts, and compromised his chances for finishing his degree.

Accepting an offer to spend a few hours of fun with a rich bloke will be a simple business transaction, right?

Wrong.

Wes’s first client is Cormac Reilly. The handsome billionaire is grumpy, funny, and commanding in a way that unlocks desires Wes never knew he had. Cormac is icily determined to keep their arrangement strictly business, but that doesn’t stop Wes from finding him fascinating.

As their one-night contract becomes something much more, Wes can’t deny he’s falling for his client. He knows he’s flouting all the rules, but breaking down Cormac’s barriers is an irresistible challenge, and his reward might be the best prize of all — love.

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a passionate love story set in London and Paris about two astonishingly different men and one very pretty mess.

A client/customer situation that turns into love is, of course, pure fantasy. But this is fiction, and the fiction works. I enjoy how Wes is sturdy on the inside, how he enjoys his attraction to Cormac despite the circumstances, and how he is always ready for banter. Cormac is so emotionally repressed we don't really get to know him before at the end, and that is believable too. The only part I didn't respond well to was the level of sugary sweetness at the very end, but that was such a small part of the book that my final impression is very positive. Sincerely recommend!

Good use of a trope

Wes finds himself in a horrible mess that his brother caused. Not knowing where to turn he finds a temp home with Julian who becomes his best friend. Julian gives Wes an idea to help resolve his current problems. This leads to more than Wes bargains for.
Mac attending a club event doesn’t plan the attraction he gets for Wes. Their arrangement leads to more than either planned.

The snark from Wes and answered by Mac made this so enjoyable. The heavy situations were overcome with the lightheartedness of the banter back and forth. Wes as a character has a natural knack for addressing any situation. Mac has a big hidden heart that made him completely attractive. The secondary characters of Julian and Tyler added interest to the journey.

The narration by Joel Leslie made the whole story. I would not have nearly enjoyed it as much reading it. The back and forth between Wes and Mac would have been flat with out the narration.

Very entertaining

When I read this book with my eyes I knew I would love it because Lily Morton wrote it and because I love a good ‘Pretty Woman’ story. But, OMG, I could never have guessed the tough journey that Wes and Max had to take to get their HEA.

This book was hot AF and it’s full of Lily Morton’s classic wit and snark. I knew I would love it even more if Joel Leslie did the audiobook and I wasn’t wrong. Joel was the perfect choice to perform this story and I loved it even more after listening to him.

Fantastic!

Sweet, steamy, and emotionally compelling

Another fantastic book from Lily Morton. Wes and Mac are the main characters and you can't help but fall for Wes in the first chapter. I love that we get an epilogue which shows us life two years later and confirmes the happy ever after that these two characters deserve. As always Joel Leslie does an outstanding job of bringing the book to life and if I could give ten stars I definitely would.

I read the book when it first came out and have been desperately waiting for the audio to be released Well worth a listen.

Brilliant
