When a fun night with an escort ends in a trip to the emergency room…
Valarie Sundale needs to unwind. Her best friend, Penny, is worried about her all-work-no-play life balance. Valarie finally lets Penny talk her into a no-strings-attached night with a stranger. And what a fun evening it is, until disaster strikes and she’s left with an unconscious escort on her kitchen floor—an escort who soon becomes her new roommate.
Addison Cooks might not remember her past, but luckily, she has a hot stranger named Valarie to help navigate her new reality of living with retrograde amnesia. Working through the sparse information they gather, Valarie and Addison go on an adventure to help Addison remember her past. In doing so, they might just find more than Addison’s memories.
I read a lot and this has easily moved up to my top 3 fav books if not my fav book.
The emotions are real and relatable. The characters are well written. It’s hot. And funny. And sad. And all the emotions we feel as humans. I won’t write a summary or give anything away besides to say, read this one.
I’m sorry but I just can’t agree with the other (5 star) reviewer of this book. The plot is OK but nothing special and personally I thought there was too much sex and not enough story! I found the characters somewhat shallow too and, even when Addison gets her memory back, there’s very little back story to flesh out her character. Just some of my unanswered questions were: Why did she choose being an escort in preference to another sort of job to earn money? How did she get into the relationship with Nick (when she seems to prefer women)? Why did he consider it was OK for her to continue to sleep with women? Why is Valarie so accepting of her ‘profession’ in considering both Addison’s past and a future relationship? I’m not a fan of characters banging on about an age gap but that’s completely ignored in this.. I’ve read others by this author and really enjoyed them (eg. Under the Sitka Sky) but this was rather a miss for me I’m afraid. Compared to others of this type (eg. Chasing Mercury by Kimberly Cooper Griffin and 143 by Jade Winters) this is purely a pale imitation…
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Very cool idea for a story but the execution was lackluster. It was messy and shallow and needed another draft for everything to line up correctly. It was a slog to get through and the reveal of the MC’s backstory wasn’t worth it.
