Interesting story. Tiana wanted to impress her boss on bring a handsome man to the wedding but it seemed like all of Tiana’s male friends were busy. Leave it to her friend Alyssa to talk her into contacting a male escort service called Gents4Ladies and to top that off recommend one that is highly recommended.
Jordan who was a very successful man was surprised to receive a phone call wanting to hire him for a male escort. He was more surprised to see his photo, phone #, and other personal information up on a male escort site. Who would do this to him. Could it be a joke or could it be revenge?
There seems to be chemistry between Jordan and Tiana. Problem is Jordan is hiding the fact that he is not really a male escort. How will Tiana take to the news?
I think you will like the events that play out in this story. Yes there are some very hot and steamy parts as well.

This was just okay for me. Is it possible for a book to drag on yet feel rushed at the same time? In the end I just didn't care about these characters as I thought I should've. There was more sex than plot.

This was basically erotica. The story was pretty thin. Also, I think maybe this author just isn't for me. I just couldn't connect. Lastly, a decent pre-reader could really help.

It took me longer than normal to finish this one. It was a bit of challenge to stay engaged enough to finish it. While I liked the story, it was just not as good as previouse works by this author.

I liked this book, yes there was a lot of sex in this book, and it was close to being erotica but I still liked it.
There was a nicely developed plot and the characters were very engaging. The end of the book seemed very rushed to me, almost like 5 minutes left in a show and must writers must wrap everything up.
Tia and Jordan found each other in a very unconventional way and they knew it was something special but lies keep them apart and could have destroyed everything.
There was no cheating, no cliffhangers, but there was a HEA

Disappointingly Weak Heroine
I had high hopes for this, a great premise and in the hands of a gifted author it would be good. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Yet another book where a supposedly strong woman thinks submission is love. And knocked up at the end as well. I won't be reading any more from this author.

Love with a Twist
This is my first book by Ms Burke. Playing a joke on Jordan, someone has placed his name on a website for women in need of male escorts. Tiana is his first and only client. They have been pushed together by someone close to both of them. The book is unexpectedly HOT and watching this cute couple connect is enjoyable!

Highly recommended!👏
Naughty, naughty, Alyssa! But even though she meant well she should have told Jordan about hooking up with Tiana. She could have lost Tiana friendship. I bet she know better now. So love this story.

I enjoyed this book immensely. The characters are highly likable. It's masterfully written. The plot is unique and refreshing. Of course, this work is ultimately steamy. Wow! This author is amazing. Worth the read!

Tia and Jordan's story was HOT.
Their chemistry was off the charts.

I would highly recommend this book.
Happy reading!

Hot and sexy
If you like your books steamy, this is the one for you. The author spent a lot of time on the sex. Very hot!

Don't read this book in public!!! This book is so hot. There were several scenes that hot me all hot and bothered. I love the aspect that it is two professional people that bring just the right amount of "smut" into the bedroom. A balance of love, sex, and mystery I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I rooted for Tia and Jordan from the jump and hopped that his deception would not hinder them from having a real relationship. I don't want to say more about the book and give it away but you will enjoy it.
While the book is only about 68 pages, I don't feel that the story was overly rushed. From the books that I've read from this author, she doesn't spend a lot of energy focusing on people outside of the main relationship (ie the main lady bemoaning and belaboring the relationship with her friends or the guy doing a lot of analysis of why he feels the way he does) so that cuts done on a lot of extra pages.
I look forward to reading more from this author.

Even the sex got boring
I thought this sounded like a cute, sexy read, a twist on the usual, where the girlfriend is for hire. Unfortunately, it got really boring really fast. It seemed like it was written by someone very young. I had enjoyed a couple of books by this author, so this one was the 2nd big disappointment in a row. I doubt I'll try any more. I don't understand why this is considered mystery/suspense,the only mystery is who set up the fake profile on the escort's service website, one he could have solved himself by contacting the service directly. And why is this considered interracial, when there is no mention of race anywhere in the book or character descriptions? One reference, I think, in a sex scene where her skin is described as "dusky". WTH is that supposed to mean? And once he mention her " booty". Really? Stereotype much? Altogether a waste of time, after a promising start.

Gents4Ladies is an awkward title.
Story finds Tiana needing a date for a wedding and turning to a male escort website to Jordan, who comes highly recommended from her friend. Turns out, Jordan isn't an escort and someone has posted his pic and phone number on the site. Although stunned, J decides to take a chance and play along without telling T. Super steamy sparks fly. The sex scenes in this are really hot... made hotter by their mutual attraction. There's a really nice HEA at the end.

Man for hire
First book I've read by Dez Burke. It was ok. Entertaining and the sex scenes were steamy but the story itself was kinda tame. It didn't grab me and hold my attention.
Tiana needs a date for her bitch of boss's wedding and uses an escort service "Gents 4 Ladies". Someone is playing a dirty prank on Jordan and posts an escort profile of him on the website. Tiana picks Jordan and he is curious and decides to play along. Neither one was planning on growing feelings for the other.

Book blurb: "Desperate for a last-minute date to her white bitch of a boss's wedding, Tiana..."
You lost me at "white bitch."
Unnecessary
Ugly
Racist
BULLshit
That would not even be close to acceptable if "White" was replaced with "Black" or another race or ethnicity.
But, hey! Thanks for making your target audience clear, Dez Burke! I appreciate the heads-up before I spent any money.

Fun, sensual and sexy
Sensuous, sexy and erotic scenes fill this tale of mistaken identity. Rich and successful Jordan is shocked to find that his photo and phone number has been posted on a male escort website. He finds out when answering his phone and receiving a request for his services from Tiana. Meeting with her changes his mind about telling her the truth, all he wants is to complete the date. Fun, light, sexy read. Very nice writing style.

Tiana needs a date for her bosses wedding. She wants to show her snobby boss she can get a hot guy. So her friend suggests a website for male escorts. She finds Jordan and sets up a date with him. Only Jordan really isn't a male escort. But he couldn't deny Tiana and wants to come clean through the whole book. He had plenty of chances to tell her but he didn't until the end. Of course they end up together and get their HEA.
cup-full-of-hell-no
October 16, 2014Is "caramel" the only acceptable default for Black heroines? Who knew?
"It made her features all the more open to scrutiny, and certainly she had nothing to worry about in the looks department with her even caramel skin, a nice, smooth forehead, perky nose, and full, inviting lips.
Well, another pass. Next.

"I loved this book". A funny way to find love. Don't want to give away the story so just read it, you won't regret it. You will love this couple Tiana and Jordan and how their chemistry builds. Love books that have a great ending and you can picture more to their lives.

Storyline = Yawn
Conflict = Boring
Characters = Mediocre
Sex = Explosive!
Never one to like a novel for its hotness I found this books not to my liking. The only high point of this story was the sex, which is a no no for me.

A pretty straight forward read. It's short but probably could have been a wee bit shorter as it was mostly sex. Hot sex, but even so, I found myself skimming through the second half. Still, the premise was fun and well done.

Interesting!
You might want to read this book alone...with no kids running around in the background, 'coz this book is simply HOT!
It was fun reading it and it has a nice interesting story too... Jonathan is hot and sexy! Nice ending too.

I fucking love this book. The storyline is different but I love the instant connection between both characters. And the sex scenes were beautifully written! I'd love to read another book on this couple.
May 20, 2013
Great concept and well written- you care what happens to the characters The Sex is hot hot hot but does not overshadow the story about Tiana and Jordan journey to love.
June 20, 2013
very sexy read with humor and light bdsm theme. I felt some of supporting character could have been more involve.
