I absolutely loved this story. It was very Game of Thrones meets Pretty Woman with a dash of E-News Kardashian Shit Show.

Tarryn is so authentic. At no point was she irrational or over the top. She stayed level headed and pure of heart which was a perfect match for Clive who carries the same qualities. They were a fantastic match and I hope they make an appearance in future series books. Hint Hint I want more Escort books Leigh James!!!

I really appreciated the real world issues that were addressed in this book and how survivors can be impacted long term emotionally and mentally from experienced physical trauma. As a very analytical person I am guilty of picking apart story lines but at no point in this book did I feel that anything presented was far fetched.

In previous books in this series I wrote about how upset I was that forgiveness was given to shitty people who did horrible things and I felt this was a toxic message. Despite this being fiction I didn't like how the author had wrapped up the endings with a bow and undeserved forgiveness. I was on the edge of my seat expecting the same for this story and was soooo relieved to see that this pattern was broken and several characters were instead empowered and took charge of their own paths.

Highly recommend
