Her parents were murdered and that trauma has left her feeling profoundly unsafe.

He’s been with a lot of women, but it’s Bea who drives him wild.īea and Hugo spend several Saturdays together and then start seeing each other outside of “work.” Hugo learns that Bea never leaves the hotel, rarely even leaving her apartment. Bea isn’t an amazingly beautiful woman, but Hugo can’t stop thinking about her freckles, damnit. Usually with this trope, he’s a rock star, movie star, secret prince, but in this case male escort works, too. Part of that fantasy is a hero who has seen everything/ can have anything being so dazzled by the relatively “ordinary” heroine that he falls almost instantly in love. In some ways it’s a little bit of a Rapunzel story, minus the hair. This is book is a cozy little fantasy about great food and great sex with a handsome man while ensconced in a luxurious tower/ penthouse. He’s also got crazy insta-lust for Bea, especially for her freckles. He also finds out that Bea wants him to take her virginity, which is a thing he hasn’t done before and he’s confused as to why she’s hired him for that. When Hugo enters the penthouse he realizes his client, Beatrix, isn’t staying there as a guest but rather lives there.

When the book opens, Hugo is on his way to meet a client at the penthouse of an expensive hotel. He fled from a childhood filled with poverty and trauma in Tangiers to make a successful career for himself in the United States. It’s a fun read, and it’s super hot, but it’s also a little weak when it comes to the plot.

It does contain graphic references to a rape, so trigger warning for that. I mean, you’re just there for a night of good fun and then suddenly this sexy dude is in love with you and can’t stop thinking about your freckles, and it’s such a hassle, honestly.Īnyway, this is a quick read (or was for me) told entirely in the hero’s first person POV, featuring a lot of sex ,and not a lot of time spent resolving conflict. Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotica/Erotic Romance, RomanceĮscort by Skye Warren is about a male prostitute who falls in love with his client.
