Description

“Gina Gordon never disappoints,” declares Jen McLaughlin! In this sizzling novel, two outsiders trying to turn their lives around find everything they’re looking for in each other’s arms.
 
Grace: I thought that reinventing myself as a corporate go-getter would be easy compared to my old life as an escort, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. After taking a full-time office job, my past has come back to haunt me, my love life is nonexistent, and I miss sex—even with the lying cheats who used to be my clients. The trouble is, the closest thing to a man in my life is Ben Lockwood. After pushing me away, that jerk has the nerve to ask a favor—so why is he so hard to resist?
 
Ben: Working my way up from cameraman to vice president of an adult media company has been . . . interesting. To focus on my career, I swear off all distractions—especially sex—and turn to Grace Nolan, the most poised and polished woman I know, for help cleaning up. But after my little vow of celibacy, spending time with Grace is pure torture. I can’t touch her, and yet I can’t stop thinking about her. And deep down, I know the reason why.

    Grace did what she needed to in order to put food on her table and help her parents. Now she is trying to live a 'normal' life, putting her past behind her. Ben has been given a promotion and he is finding it hard being the VP for the White Lace, preferring to be behind the cameras. Together, they learn to love, to trust, to accept their pasts so that they can be happy. I loved Grace's determination to move beyond her past, to hold her head up when the past came calling. I even enjoyed her willingness to accept her need for a man. Ben looked out for himself except when it came to Grace. He leaned on her until he found the confidence in himself that she knew was there. I recommend this book. I received a copy of this story through Netgalley.

    This is a beautiful story of two broken people who are trying to turn their lives around. This was a well written story with a interesting and very different storyline. The characters are well developed and like able. The chemistry between them is crazy Hot! The push and pull between them leads to some entertaining sarcastic banter that I enjoyed as well. This storyline kept me captivated from beginning to the end. Grace is so much more than a sexy ex-escort, and as she tries to put her old life behind her, we find out her dreams, as well as her vulnerability. Ben has just been promoted and although he has been in the porn industry for a while being the VP is overwhelming. Both of them decide to take sex out of the equation as they get settled in their new roles. But when they are thrown together by friends their past...i.e. a sexy tryst when she was a escort, that was crazy, hot, and the last time they had sex, is in the back of both their minds. Drawn to each other, even though neither one of them thinks, the other is right for them. They jump right in to a relationship which is so hot! But finding forever, is quite incredibly difficult as they learn to deal with trust issues, vulnerability, and outside influences. Will they get their HEA? Can they overcome their pasts? You will have to read to find out. Received a complimentary copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

    I received this Arc for an honest review. Very interesting story about a VP of a porn company, Ben, and an ex escort, Grace. Loved the pull between Ben and Grace. Their chemistry is smoking hot! But both feel they aren't good enough for each other. Their friendship grows and blossoms but they fight each other until it's almost too late. Loved that Max and Everly reappeared. And would like to know what happened to Sadie?? Another good story by Gina!
