Denial
"Fast paced and filled with Characters that you cannot help but care about! The blurb could never do it justice. You have to read it for yourself, you will be as addicted to this writer as we all are!" - Lesbifriends podcast AU.
Nobody sets out to be an escort. It's not a career path most people plan to take, it's something that finds you and becomes a way of life. But what happens when that way of life starts erasing who you are? When you have played a part for over a decade, finding yourself and what you truly desire isn't a simple task.
Ivy is at the top of her game as a high class escort. Working in Detroit, specialising in female clients. But after so long being what people want, she realises she no longer knows herself.
Running from the person she is, into someone even further from who she once was, her life can do nothing but spiral out of all control.
Can an unbelievable situation, followed by a cliff top fall into the wilderness be the dramatic restart she has so desperately needed?

Ivy's story was an eventful, exciting, and thoroughly entertaining read. I found it captivating, and the superb plot kept me engaged from beginning to end.
This book was truly brilliant and easy to read. I particularly enjoyed the character development throughout. The storyline's progression made for a fantastic reading experience.
The connections and palpable chemistry between characters in this book were intense. Ivy was a beautifully developed character, and her arc was a delightful read.
I look forward to reading more from Sadie in the future.
Star rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New author to me. Gave it a go. Loved it. Proceeds to TBR the remaining books!
The twists in the book were super awkward and cringe, I loved it! I had to throw my phone to stop reading because I couldn’t handle the conflict. I also loved the fact that some loose ends just didn’t need tying. The author just left it as is and irl that’s actually how life goes. Not everything is solved and ends perfectly.

Lots of drama!
Ivy has married one of the male clients she had when working as an escort, but she’s not happy being the bored housewife after he moved them out to suburbia, and something calls her back to escorting but specifically for female clients, because she is done denying who she really is. When things get complicated with a first time client, things start spiralling out her control, but it might just be what she needed to get the restart to her life she desires.
Denial was full of plot twists, unexpected moments, and just life happening in that way it has a habit of doing. At no point was Ivy in control of her life, even if she felt she might be, which is completely realistic and I loved that. She just had to deal with whatever ended up coming her way the best way she knew how. She was flawed, made mistakes, tried to fix things, and followed her heart and her feelings; she was human and just wanting to get by, survive and live her life the best she could. It was such a rollercoaster of a story but had me hooked from the very beginning.
She had difficult relationships and situations to navigate, but I admired Ivy in being willing to start over again when what she thought she wanted, or what she had wanted at the time was no longer working. So many people stay in situations, and she did put in effort and try, but with some gentle encouragement from the right people appearing in her path or coming in and out of her life, she was brave in accepting something wasn’t working anymore and taking a chance on starting all over again to try and find what fate had in store for her next.
An enjoyable and dramatic story about a journey through life from a unique perspective. Really enjoyed the story.

This is my first book by Sadie Mac. It drew me in right away and kept me invested. Ivy is a dynamic and wonderfully flawed character whose decisions lead to some very interesting drama. I liked that this book broke away from they typical formula that many les fics seem to follow. I will say that the author left me wanting to know more about what happens next.
