About the author
Jason Luke
15 books1,000 followersJason Luke enjoyed several years involved in the BDSM lifestyle - but he is quick to point out that his experiences don't qualify him as an expert, any more than knowing how to drive a car makes him a qualified mechanic. 'Interview with a Master' is a novel about how one man became a Master. The book is a work of fiction, but Jason has drawn heavily on encounters from his own real life. He won't say which parts of the book are fictionalised, and which parts are auto-biographical.
Erotic BDSM fiction written by a man from a man's point of view.

This was not a romance, although I shelved it in my contemporary romance shelf. I just didn't want to create a new shelf named "contemporary".
This is the first book I've ever read by this author. I could not tell that this author was a male author, because it was written in a way that female readers are used to. It has a lot of sex and descriptions of sex with multiple women, because the Main Character is a porn star, the famous Rick Cassidy. It is written in first person male POV, which I really enjoyed.
One day he opens his front door to meet Connie Wright, a writer for "Infinity" magazine, she will be interviewing him over 3-4 days while she observes him work on a few sets and follows him around.
For some reason, he is attracted to her and decides he wants to sleep with her. In the meantime, she observes him f*#& multiple women multiple times in menage-a-trois and I think even a menage-a-quatre, all with women partners.
He is jaded but enjoys his job, and it is a job to him.
Where the story was most interesting was where it described behind the scenes and his unique lifestyle. I learned a few things.
There were many many female porn actors described, and many, many sex acts. They kind of ran together and for some reason I didn't find the descriptions very hot, mostly because he had an emotional distance in them, although he described himself as turned on and described the hardness of his cock and how hot he did find some of the scenes. Many times it seemed he didn't enjoy the sex with the female porn stars.
Where the story lost me was in the romance department.
Rick does Connie a huge favor at the end and he expresses the negative aspects of being an actor in the porn industry, which is something the reader already figured out by that time, but its great that Rick
I thought this was very well written other than the romance aspect of the story, and it was very very interesting!

I wasn't sure what I was expecting but the story was ok for.me. It didn't wow me. I totally understand a mother's love. I liked the ending as well. No one is being filled and all now the other and what they're getting .

I wasn't aware of this book coming out, so when I saw it reduced, and given how much i loved The Master, I was over it like a rash.
Rick Cassidy is a reputable, delectable, distinguished porn star. Given his presence in front of & behind the camera, he prides himself on his unique camera skills & being hung like a horse.
Connie Wright was a journalist with a publication called Infinity. She was shadowing Rick for a week to gain insight into the life of a porn star, and her initial thoughts were far from positive.
The more time she spent with him, the more she saw through the facade that "Rick the Dick" had spent years creating.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these characters, how they slowly revealed themselves around the startlingly raw world of porn.

I'm not very good at writing reviews. I read others and I think to myself, "why couldn't I say that?" I am a huge Jason Luke fan and I was a little on the fence about the "Porn Star" aspect of the book when I saw the title. I immediately think of cheesy porn and unrealistic positions and/or acts the women are put in. Didn't find a bit of that in this book!! The story was well written, flowed great, and I didn't think about the 'porn' itself but about the mentality of one that is in the industry. Whether it is true, half true, or false, it doesn't matter. The fact is is that the story told was about Rick Cassidy himself, his views, and his life. Yes, the sex was hot. It was an inferno at times but it did not distract from the story being told. The character of Rick Cassidy, let me just say I love that man and his attitude!!! Bravo Jason Luke! Your brilliant mind continues to amaze me!

Interviews shouldn't be this interesting but with Luke as the author, it's hard to put the book away.
This is the story of a pornstar and while I've read Interview with a Master, this one was a better read. Not only entertaining but erotic and sexy. Agh, what else could I wish for?
Keep 'em coming and I'll keep buying 'em.

4.5 STARS
As a storyteller, Jason Luke has a unique way of pulling the reader in so seamlessly that sometimes I looked up and was surprised that I was sitting in my living room and not by the pool of a porn set in L.A. He weaves a tale that is so engaging and perfectly told, and just a pleasure to read.
Rick Cassidy is one of the best porn stars in the business. Having transitioned from actor to producer and director of some of the best porn in the industry, he agrees to allow journalist Connie Wright to shadow him for a few days as part of an interview she is writing for her magazine.
From the beginning, I was not a fan of Connie’s as much as I was of Rick. Rick is completely unashamed and upfront about himself. He makes no apologies for his career, his attitudes or himself, and tolerantly responds to Connie’s antagonistic questions about his life and work. He explains his well thought-out theories on the type of movies he creates and the reasons they are successful. On the flip side, it took me a while to like Connie. She is judgmental, prudish and frankly unprofessional for a journalist who is interviewing for a story. One of my favorite parts early on that illustrated this was when she asked Rick for a publicity shot, and he handed her picture of himself naked. When she asks for a clothed photo because the naked ones are vulgar, Rick responds “If I was a cop you would want photos of me in uniform. Same if I was a soldier or a pilot…This is me in my uniform.”
Rick is surprisingly articulate and charming, and like Jonah Noble in Jason Luke’s Interview with a Master, he can tell a tale that is engaging and enthralling. And hot. As expected from the title, there is a lot of sex going on while Rick is filming his scenes, both as an actor and as a director. But despite my preconceived assumptions about how it would be, none of the sex was raunchy or dirty. It was just erotic and hot, and at times, sweet and sensitive.
Rick shows more depth to himself by discussing with Connie the loss of real intimacy that porn has created in him, and how he is looking for more than just sex in his personal life. He also had me giggling when he made the comparison between the movies he creates and the erotica that romance novelists write. How they are both creating their art for their audiences and providing them the fantasy of what they want to believe is out there, whether it is the hot young nympho blond girl or the muscled and tattooed alpha hero.
True to Mr. Luke’s previous books, the end holds a surprise as to the intentions of the characters that I did not see coming. This was my only complaint. While I anticipated a twist after reading his other books, I thought it came on rather suddenly. I would have liked to see more development of this, rather than the rushed ending. But this still didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
Interview with a Porn Star was just a pleasure to read. I’m still not entirely convinced he isn’t a woman, but Jason Luke’s writing is beautiful and engaging and I look forward to his next book.

I thought off the bat the title of this book sounded pretty interesting. I like the fact that the author must've did some background research. Because it sorta gives you a first hand insight into how things work behind the scenes in the porn industry.
I liked Rick Cassidy's character overall. Deep down he's a good decent man. And he's a very sexual man. Sex is his life. But its sad sometimes on how he's sorta become jaded because he's been doing porn for so long. Some of his world views are distorted in different ways.
Connie got on my nerves majority of the time. It saves face at the ending putting together the puzzle pieces of why she's so anti-porn lol But most of the time she came across as this uptight, snotty, prudish & judgmental woman. I'd roll my eyes at almost everything she said.
My only complaint is its too much group sex or MFFF. Girl on girl sex scenes aren't my cup of tea. But the way this was written with the MFF scenes weren't so bad because it wasn't as much direct interaction between the women.
All in all a decent book. I'm disappointed hearing that Jason Luke won't be continuing to write erotica. Because I thought he did a good job at it. But I wish him all the best in future projects & endeavors.
4 stars!!

"He is brash. He is irreverent. And he tells it like it is! He is also articulate, witty and charming.
He's Rick Cassidy" - I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!!
Jason Luke does it again and does it brilliantly!!! He is very insightful and has such a way with words and describing things in a different light to make you understand it better and believe all that he says. "Interview with a Porn Star" was different than any book Ive read and even though its the same idea with the interviewing, its still fresh and super sexy. All of Jason Luke's male characters are wonderful and seem to know so much about women and its a breath for fresh air. Just makes you believe that Jason Luke is the "woman whisperer"
This book was so much fun to read and very very sexy. The whole idea of it and the characters were wonderful and it gave me different attitude towards the porn industry. It was well written, as all of Mr Luke's work is, and I was able to visualize everything....which was wonderful when it came to Rick and his 10 inches!!!!
Overall it was a fabulous book and I would certainly recommend it to anyone and everyone as I would recommend ALL of Jason Luke's books. Way to go - cant wait to see what you have in store for us next!!!

Hmmmm.....I really don't have anything nice to say about this book. After the first few chapters I found that for me at least there was absolutely no real depth to this story. All it was, was scenes out of a porn movie. Yes I know, it is called Interview With A Porn Star but I honestly thought there would be more to it. I love a good hot read, lots of sex just as much as the next person but this actually repulsed me. I felt no connection to any of the characters what so ever and I loathed Rick. I mean for me I felt like he had no real substance to him at all. Towards the end I thought maybe he was beginning to realise what life was all about but in the end I just felt like it is all just about the porn industry for him and perhaps that is the way this book was supposed to be portrayed but for me I just wanted more.
And the ending....the epilogue....well that just sucked. Who follows a man that you have not got along with for days and that you had sex with once to the other side of the world, yet there's no love involved but you live together with your grown daughter?? Seriously who does that???

Holy Steamy Book Boyfriend!
Not only is this an interview, but it's a look into the porn industry in a sexy, intriguing way. Rick is charming, sexy, and surprisingly insightful and sensitive. The sex scenes are steamy, intense and ... adventurous...
Jason Luke has an ability to describe a scene so you feel like you are watching the most intimate of moment from the corner of the room. His writing style just flows and I found myself reading well into the night to finish it without even realizing the time had passed.
Did I think I'd want a porn star as my perfect book boyfriend? No, but I am so thrilled I was wrong! Give Rick a chance, you may be surprised by how much you enjoy his story.

I'm a sucker for stories about porn stars and escorts. This was very sexual, I enjoyed the story, the writing was very good. What fell short was how the story ended. Didn't mind the epilogue but didn't like how it lead up to it.

Jason Luke has done it again!
You have to give credit to he who deserves it, and I find it amazing that Jason can produce such a fantastic story in such a short period of time, and with such impeccable writing! I thought Interview With A Master was great, this, was brilliant!!!
I loved this story, the whole chemistry between the leads, the fluidity within the scenes, the witty, charming yet arrogant male lead, he is the centre of this story and its a total breath of fresh air.
Once again Jason totally hypnotises me with his intelligent and captivating style of writing, his use of the descriptive allows the reader to completely submerge in the moment and let the imagination run wild. The sexual content will definitely please those fans of the genre, it certainly wont disappoint.
What I like about Jason is that he is bold and goes for what he believes in, by having a new book with a similar title he took a risk of readers perhaps expecting that same type of story, but oh boy was I totally blown away, and as always because you are so engrossed realisation hits that the end is fast approaching.
So stop reading this and start reading Interview With A Porn Star NOW!.

mmmmeeehh! ! There was a lot of girl on girl sex. There wasn't a story line till the last 10 pages. I thought it was ok. I found the sex was all kind of the same. The story line repeated itself a few times... I think it was missing something..

I have no idea why this was written. I don't know if this was to show us a bunch of really stupid sex scenes with pornstars, BUT I will say Rick and Connie? I didn't get it.

Rick Cassidy, owns his own skin and is damn proud of himself and so he should be. This self-made man answers to no-one and because of that he exudes a confidence that few can carry comfortably.
Rick as worked his way to the top of his field and now commands respect from those in the industry. Both he and they know he is the best in the business. But at just 30 years of age he is now looking for something more and having moved into production and distribution of his films he is well on the way to having his industry eating from the palm of his hand.
Shame he doesn’t get the same reaction from Connie. This 30 something reporter has taken on the job of interviewing Rick for her magazine, but when you discover that she has more than a healthy distain for Rick and his chosen career, it makes you wonder why? I knew then that there was more to this woman that met the eye but Jason Luke kept me hanging till the end for an explanation –cruel man!
Setting the interview off on the wrong foot, wasn’t a good move on Connie’s part and when she is swiftly shown the door – she is left with no choice but to quickly re-evaluate her approach. Rick is not interested in the seedy underbelly of the porn market – the monotonous drudgery of churning out tacky films, time after time does nothing for him – he specialises in the quality films, highly produced and expertly filmed. And after taking time to watch one of his films, Connie may just have begun to understand where he is coming from.
This book follows much the same pattern as the author’s previous books and that happens to be something that I enjoy – so with the scene set. Connie spends the next few days at Rick’s side taking in all the action – so to speak.
The banter between them was honest and funny at times and Rick truly was an open book – he had no shame and needed none because he had every right to be proud of his achievements. He looked for neither praise nor recognition but accepted that through his body of work he had gained both.
The sex scenes were described with absolute aplomb– if anything this book was more detailed than Interview with a Master and in that respect I feel that this book was ever so slightly more accomplished.
Rick had more to give and I think that shone through.
Connie desperately tried to open up when she was around Rick, not finding it easy I got the feeling that Rick at least appreciated that she was making the effort, and over the course of the interview we got to see that the beginnings of a friendship had most definitely begun to take shape.
The reason behind her venom towards the porn industry is revealed late into the book, when at last she opens up to Rick and asks him for his help.
Ever the gent, Rick deals with the situation the way he deals with everything else – head on and taking it all in his stride.
The end left a lot of unanswered question but I hope that there is a follow up novel in the works – and we will get to see what happens next for the pair of them.
I love the pace and cohesion that the book has, the style is perfect and being written from a male perspective- it gave me a female reader the opportunity to hear what I am considering to be an indicative male opinion – because much of what I read, made what I considered would be perfect sense in the male mind.
Author or Psychologist – I have yet to decide – but one thing I have made my mind up on is Jason Luke is certainly a Master at his craft!

4 stars! When I saw that Jason Luke had another book released, I was on it like white on rice! I had no idea this was in the pipeline, and you only have to read the title to think, “Yep…I’m having this one!”
After reading the first few pages or so, I then remembered the unconventional-bittersweet-sad ending to ‘In love with a master’ and I was anxious throughout this book wondering exactly how this would end. I mean, you have a 30 year old porn star/director being interviewed by a journalist in her late thirties. Right there, the practicalities of any kind of romance between the two is fraught with issues. Then add to the mix the fact that Connie, despite volunteering to conduct the interview, has her own preconceived notions and personal issues with the industry that Rick works in, even if it becomes clear to her that he isn’t involved in seedy porn films, but rather the ‘high-end’ stuff where even the female actresses get off (yeah right!) So after a slightly rocky start to the interview, when Connie says her piece and Rick says his piece (after throwing her out of his house), they get on with the interview, which spans a few days. There are some Q&A scenes, just like in the other books, but with far more ‘demonstrations’. Yep……they were insanely hot, even if they didn’t involve the two MCs. Connie was seemingly reluctant at first, but she ended up watching some live shows and Rick even got her involved with the filming.
What I loved about this, aside from the hot sex scenes, was the build in their friendship/relationship. The style of writing is unique to that of a male author, which had me laughing to myself several times……
”Her eyes fluttered open and she did that thing that ladies sometimes do when they wake up in a strange bed in a strange house in the arms of a strange man.
She screamed”
And then Rick and his big……….….ego! He was the right amount of cocky mixed with sweet without being annoying in any way. If anything, he amped up his cockiness just to get a rise out of Connie, also making me smile:
”How do I know you didn’t take advantage of me?”
‘I smiled. “Stand up….if you can walk – then we didn’t have sex”
And that’s not even covering his response to Connie not knowing who he was or why he was such a big name in the industry….
”What makes you so successful and in such demand?”
“You don’t know?” …….. I grunted. I pushed away from the counter and stood before where she sat. “This,” I said. I unsnapped the button of my jeans. I wore no underwear……… “Ten inches…….hard as an iron bar, that’s what gets me the work…..”
Yeeeeeeep!
The last 15% of the book was fast paced and crammed a lot of stuff in there. The reason why Connie was so anti-porn is revealed. The epilogue was…..strange. There’s no real indication if they are properly together….if so, how? If Rick is still in the business (although I suspect he is) or if there is more to come……hopefully there will be.

After reading the first few pages or so, I then remembered the unconventional-bittersweet-sad ending to ‘In love with a master’ and I was anxious throughout this book wondering exactly how this would end. I mean, you have a 30 year old porn star/director being interviewed by a journalist in her late thirties. Right there, the practicalities of any kind of romance between the two is fraught with issues. Then add to the mix the fact that Connie, despite volunteering to conduct the interview, has her own preconceived notions and personal issues with the industry that Rick works in, even if it becomes clear to her that he isn’t involved in seedy porn films, but rather the ‘high-end’ stuff where even the female actresses get off (yeah right!) So after a slightly rocky start to the interview, when Connie says her piece and Rick says his piece (after throwing her out of his house), they get on with the interview, which spans a few days. There are some Q&A scenes, just like in the other books, but with far more ‘demonstrations’. Yep……they were insanely hot, even if they didn’t involve the two MCs. Connie was seemingly reluctant at first, but she ended up watching some live shows and Rick even got her involved with the filming.

"Tell me your fantasy."
That moment when...
You see a book with a cover that doesn't scream much other than a atypical, boring one. But only that the titles seemed intriguing.
That moment when...
You decided to delve into it but doesn't really expect much yet surely suspects it's one of those conventional, sappy romance books that you tirelessly read over and over and shamelessly fawned over.
That moment when...
Upon starting you are quite determined on the what's and how's the story will play out. A brooding man with a past, a broken woman. End with them riding off into the sunset, a happily ever after. But hold your applause, people.
That moment when...
You realized that everything you thought was wrong. On so many account.
Starting Interview with a Porn Star was something I snagged on an impulse between a dull read and I was only into this for some sexy bits ( among other things) only to discover it was so much more than what I had imagined. Rick Cassidy is a Rockstar. He completely blew me away, and I'm not only referring on what he could do with that body of his, but because he was seriously the most endearing man with a lot of substance under the surface.
Rick Cassidy brutally honest, real, and exactly tells it like it is. But he's also intelligent and kind and soulful. He knows what he's doing and he's not ashamed of it. He takes pride on what he's done and who his become and adwhen Connie interviewing him, asking him questions on practically the ins and outs of the adult film industry it certainly feels like I was inside her, my thoughts were hers as well as my feeling and misgivings. I'm pretty sure everyone of us has watched porn and let's not deny the fact that it managed to move in an unnatural pace that only bring pleasure and somehow it almost feels weird and awkward. Rick's words echoed in my mind that porn is for entertainment which clearly is how it should be. And if you play your cards right, or rather your body, you could be the next best thing.
This book really captured me from the beginning because obviously it was absolutely interesting. I mean you I could always Youtube a porn star interview and don't give two cents about it bit this is worth it. Heck, rob me with all my might, she says. This I could definitely consider as an insight of a lifetime because nothing feels more pure and real and alluring than a guys unadulterated picture-presentation than Rick Cassidy.

There is one thing I am coming to learn with each book I read by Jason Luke. It will draw you in right from the very first page and not let go even after the book is finished. His method of storytelling is unlike any that I have seen before. I am not sure whether it’s because he’s a man taking on subjects others often times find taboo or what, but whatever the reason, it’s working.
The idea of stepping into a characters mind, whether it be a “Master” or a “Porn Star” is just phenomenal to me. I loved the character of Rick Cassidy right from the start and the observations that Connie makes about him, I could easily see throughout because the author spares no expense in giving you a bird’s eye view into his mind.
Much like in previous books by the author, the lead character says a lot of different things throughout that spoke to me. Observations he made about the industry he works in, the people he knows, the world around him and it felt real and it was very entertaining.
The ending felt more abrupt than final, but I definitely liked the lead in to it. The reason behind everything from Connie’s perspective (not her POV but her reasoning for the way she is). It shed a great deal of light on why she feels and reacts the way she does throughout the book, which by the time it happened I was more than ready for as I wasn’t really feeling much for that particular character.
I’ve said this in a review before but I will say it again. I will not hesitate to read more from this author. His style, his characters and the world that he wraps it all up in, is brilliant. This is a must read for any Jason Luke fan, but also for anyone looking for something that stands out from the rest and is different, but in a really good way.

This review is from: Interview with a Porn Star (Kindle Edition)
I am convinced that Jason Luke could write a cookbook and it would be amazing! All of his books are written with such attention to detail and astonishing character development that they envelop you and you become completely engrossed in the story right from the beginning. His writing has a delicious fluency that keeps me turning the pages without regard to the passage of time until I reach the end, knowing what I expect to be there is never a foregone conclusion.
Interview with a Porn Star is quite unique. Although it is Jason's second 'interview' book, it is clearly different from Interview with a Master. In this book, there is transparency into the mind (and sometimes the soul) of Rick Cassidy, the emotionally burned-out porn star/film producer, that for me made him immediately likable despite the fact he has had sex with over a thousand women during the course of his career. Certainly not an accomplishment that would endear Rick to many women outside of the industry. However, Connie Wright, the ever cynical interviewer looks beyond the professional side of Rick, and sees the caring, non exploitive man that he is. Her struggle is to stay neutral and present an unbiased interview when she clearly detests the industry for reasons later revealed. The opposing forces in this story seem almost as simple as good vs. evil, but of course Mr. Luke makes them far more complex. So, if it's a story with depth and fascinating characters you want, this will be an excellent read for you. If you're looking for off-the-charts hot, steamy sex, you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend this book and look forward to Jason Luke's future books!!

The title bought me into it, Very catchy and its Jason Luke. I got excited; once I got it I started reading it. Love, Love, Love it!
Spectacular! Brilliant! Job well fucking done! I love every fucking bit of it. Rick Cassidy with his monster dick.*LICK* There’s something “manly” the way it was written, I knew a guy wrote it. (You’re not gay right?)
Well it’s kinda obvious; there are some M/F/F scenes only guy can have those wicked fantasies.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I think it I met Rick Cassidy the way Connie met him, I’m going to faint. He doesn’t have make my stomach flutter but he’s oozing with sexiness that’ll make you salivate. For a porn star, he’s a brilliant guy, it’s like he’s a well-studied man. When he’s explain something or answering Connie’s questions all I want to do is focus to him and just nod. He always made a good point and said almost everything; I can’t even form a question myself.
• The book is either hit or miss. Will love or like or be frowned. And if your forehead is aching, it’s from multiple eyebrow rising. Ha!
• It made wonder about the author… Did you interview a real porn star or you just know a lot about sex? Are you addicted to sex or you studied sex for a long time?
• There are scenes that are so hard to believe but there’s a possibility.
• Most part of the book is explanations. About porn, porn actors and sex. And they’re like a powerpoint presentation or some sort of a report explaining almost everything bullet by bullet and all angles were just tackled.
• The book, for me is made especially for men. Girls can read it too. But as I was saying it was for men. It was like a book for all-you-want-to-know

Great read if you enjoy the topic of sex, the porn industry, multiple partner scenes, in depth looks at human emotions, opposites attracting, journalism, romance, eroticism, great sex scenes, hot sex scenes, well crafted fiction, and a bittersweet HEA!
Side Note: So let me start by saying this. I had never read a book by Jason Luke before this point. All I had known, was a bunch of hype stories and his fans are die hard for his work, with due cause it turns out! This book was jaw dropping amazing to me. It was more than your typical romance, it was romance meets a literary feel, which is just a stroke of genius. When dealing with the porn world and discussions of it, it felt fake and staged like it should and when dealing with real emotions, the scenes felt raw and real. He did a fantastic job mirroring his writing to match the emotions you should be feeling, and when you should be feeling them, and how. It has been awhile since I had a book knock me on my ass and just stand back and realize all the different literary tricks that were pulled and the enjoyment I got from them. This was well crafted. And easy to enjoy. I’m still slightly gasping in admiration. Well done.

Im a huge fan girl of Jason Lukes an I'll always support him no matter what genre he decides to write. but when I Saw the title of this book, I admit I didn't know what to think. If I'm being 100% honest i didn't think i was going to like it at all. But I was sooo wrong... I freaking Loved this book!! Rick 'The Dick' Cassidy is the right kind of cocky that makes you almost want to hate him, but at the same time you can't help but love him!!
Interview with a porn star give you a glimpse of what life is like behind the scenes of a porn movie, the porn star everyday life as well as the ups and downs of porn. As an avid porn watcher (no im afraid to admit it) this was truly an eye opener.
I have to wonder though.. what kind of research did Jason have to do in order to create Rick Cassidy??... things that make you say hmmmm.... lol. Either way this is another must read by Jason Luke!!

WOW, That was an Interview like no other. Rick Cassidy is a Diamond in the rough, with flaws and all he gives an interview of his life time to Connie. Rick Cassidy holds nothing back, he is young but certainly not naive, for his youth he is wise to the world and knows what is going on around him.
If you like Hot steamy erotic sex wrote in an exquisite manor and style, this is your book!! Rick Cassidy is a real man, he wants to show people the real way the industry of being a Porn Star works, he gives a tasteful interview to Connie.
Jason's descriptive use again of what he knows a woman wants and needs is spell bounding. His writing is a form of art work, it reads with ease, and im sure he writes with ease too.
Well done Mr Luke another 5 * read.

Holy Hot Porn Star Delight! Jason Luke created a new sinfully delectable BBF!
Rick Cassidy is a deliciously jaded yet sensitive porn star and clever director/creator of pornography films. He is very charming, brass, and straight up in your face, tell it like it is - LEGEND.
Jason Luke certainly knows how to write erotica but the author also shows a glimpse into the taboo topic of the porn industry, the ins and outs, ups and downs, do's and do not's, and the difference between the fakes and authentics.
There is no doubt in my mind this man knows how to please a woman and he shows it in this book, I found it very sexual, highly exotic, extremely erotic and very informative.
Thank you once again Jason Luke!

Once again I am in awe of Jason Luke's writing and character synthesis. These characters are similar in feel to those of IWM but there are more mental/emotional dimensions to this story that make it so hard to resist! It was kind of amazing to think that all of the things described in the story happened over the course of four days. Something like Romeo and Juliet except with explicit sex. The author has this ability to tap into the raw and and straightforward emotions of a situation and describe them objectively. The facts are what they are, this is not a love story. If you are looking for a good read that challenges your preconceptions and stretches your comfort zones then the Interview series is for you.
I will be looking forward to future works by this author.

I liked it, but I was a little put off on how the female porn stars were portrayed in this book. They were practically begging for sex to the point in one scene where I pretty much feel they kinda forced Rick to have sex with them...I mean he eventually caved...but then when he didn't want to cum so he could save it for when they shoot his scnene...the girls practically jumping on him so he had to get in the shower and hold the door shut...I dunno....I just didn't like that Jason Luke made those woman act that way. Maybe its just me, but I didn't like that. The ending was a bit of a twist...wasn't expecting what happened but it was cute...I felt the HEA was a little too happily ever after...again, this may not make sense but its how I felt.
July 8, 2014
have to be honest, this was okay - not one of my favorites. I was spoiled with Interview/In love with a Master. Rick Cassidy just came off (no pun intended) as a creepy porn guy. No matter how many times it was said that he wasn't like that, he was better than that, he was a different breed in the industry - nope, he was still a bit creepy to me. Connie, forget it - rude and unprofessional for a journalist. But these are just my opinions. For me, the book seemed like an outlet for writing sex scenes, the same thing over and over. Nope, wasn't my favorite, but I did like the ending - even though the leading up to was a bit over the top.
