Private Eye by Katrina Jackson
5.0

Maya is a cam girl, a profession she didn't set out to have but one she is awesome at and one she loves. She loves her body and she loves letting others see that. It pays the bills and supports herself and her family and she has no regrets.

Kenny is Maya's favorite client, a client she knows only by his user name. Kenny has good reasons for never showing Maya his face, even in their private chats. Kenny is a spy and he also kind of knows Maya in real life. She was once a surveillance subject of his and is the friend and roommate of his bosses' girlfriend.

When Kenny gets the chance to work and train under his boss Monica, he has to come clean to Maya as they need her to help catch a notorious arms dealer. Maya is outraged by his deception, but agrees to help him because she does need the money.

But, as they work together to take down the criminal, including having to pretend Kenny is Maya's boyfriend both on and off camera, their feelings cannot be denied. Maya sees Kenny is all in and she'll risk it all for him too.

I loved this story! Super sexy and hot, not a kink I'm usually into (voyeurism) but one I enjoyed reading about. I loved how supportive Kenny was. He didn't shame Maya's career, didn't force her to change careers even at the end (I'm assuming he continued on participating), and is just H-O-T hot and also the sweetest. I loved Maya as well, especially her confidence and love of her body. She's fat, she's Black, and her size was never an issue beyond being mentioned as how she looked. She's also a proud sex worker.

While you most definitely can read this as a standalone, you should really just also read Jackson's The Spies who Loved Her, as those characters do have a role in this story. Also it is just as fun and hot, so why not?!
