The Girlfriend Treatment

Rate this book
Petra is not an escort—but she does answer the phones at one such agency. When she receives a call from a scarred veteran named Barry, he makes a request she never saw coming. He needs a date to his brother's wedding in order to honor his elderly grandmother's final wish to see him settled down. One problem? None of the other girls are available, leaving Petra, a mere receptionist with no dating experience, to pretend to be Barry's girlfriend at the wedding. But when their attraction detonates on sight, what starts as pretend doesn't stay that way long. After all, there's only one bed...and their relationship is definitely the only thing being faked.

EXTRA SMUTTY because wdym he can’t find a condom big enough to fit him 🩷✨ First time ESCORT bosses around a scarred VETERAN until he is literally mad with desire!

“Do I have a kink? Is it giants?”

Barry needs a girlfriend for the weekend to convince his meemaw he’s settled down and not an off-the-grid grump. Petra is just a receptionist at the escort agency but when she answers his call she’s tempted to put on her escorting shoes.

My favorite Jessa Kane dynamics are a pathetically reserved & secretly horny mmc coupled with a daring fmc that is not afraid of him 🫦 When I tell you Petra grabbed him by the balls made him kneel, call her ‘Princess’ and apologize nicely. He didn’t stand a chance!

🩷 sexually open fmc x reserved mmc

🩷 SHE GIVES THE ORDERS & is not shy about jt

🩷 she helps him with his self-esteem issues

Brilliantly dirty smut accented by filthy dirty talk! This story has all the hallmarks of a dirty novella that is ridiculously unbelievable but gloriously hawt.

Oh BABY JESUS. Im going to die. Im going to choke and loose my breath over how SWEET and UNIQUE Jessa Kane wrote the MMCs.




Her #BEST work till date. It's right up there with Hefty and Husky.


🩷HOTTEST👏BOOK👏OF👏THE👏CENTURYYY.

What he’s doing to me now feels even better.
“Oh, Christ,” he groans, looking up at me while he eases aside the sheer crotch of my thong and runs his tongue deep between the separation of my flesh. Using his lips to gently rub aside the hood of my clitoris, he tickles the pearl beneath with the tip of his tongue. A mewl sneaks out of me, and
he shudders in response, giving me firmer tickles, presses of flesh on flesh.
Mashing his stiff upper lip to the center of my mound while he licks below, my sensitivity off the charts. “You taste so good,” he grinds out. “Petra.” The wet harmony of tongue dragging through soaked silk fills my head.
“You’ll call me ‘princess’ when you’re apologizing.”
A spike of lust from Barry reaches me in my elevated position on the sink. His huge chest sinks down and rises rapidly, his eyes almost delirious with need. “Princess,” he mutters, licking me like I’m the plate of his final meal. “My tongue is your throne.”

4.5 my-tongue, your-throne stars

Annnnnnd it’s hard to find gloves that fit? 👀👀👀

Uffff… Petra… you poor poor girl 🤡

Petra’s (19) is working an escort business that she helps her sisters run when she gets a phone call from a man, Barry (32), who needs an escort ASAP (sidenote, JK, couldn’t you find a better name? 🫣🫣🫣).

Barry’s brother’s getting married and he wants to go with a “girlfriend” so that his grandma sees that he’s settling down and normal before she passes away 🫶.

Barry, former Green Beret, is scarred from previous combat and hasn’t been with anyone since (it’s been over a decade ☹️). He realizes that whoever he takes with him to the wedding, probably won’t find him attractive ☹️. Plus, he’s not looking for sex, just company.

But he never counted on Petra him good looking 🫶. She’s looking at more than what’s on the outside ❤️. And although Petra has never gone all the way with anyone else, she’s willing to make him feel comfortable in any way possible.

Maybe Petra will end up surprising HIM and telling HIM what to do 👀

What I liked/loved:
— how vulnerable Barry is ❤️. Sometimes, I just wanted to hug him 🫶

— the 🔥. Well, yeah, this is JK 🤡. It’s gonna extra duuuuuuurty 🔥 literally, like on the dirt dirty 🤣🫣👀.

— he offers his face as her throne 🤷🏻‍♀️. SAAAAY LESSSSSSS 🥵💦

— poor Barry can’t even drive without his hotdog being uncontrollable 🤡 he has to pull over to relieve himself 🤣🫣

— Barry’s answer to no glove, no love is to enter through her cake 🫣🫠. Welp I’m all about finding solutions. 🤣🔥🔥🔥

— Petra being the one leading 😉. I love that Barry is willing to sit back and relax 😮‍💨. I mean, the man is huge and Petra is tiny 🤷🏻‍♀️

— never judge a book by its cover ❤️

— wanting the girlfriend treatment ❤️

— the epilogue 🫶❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

What I didn’t like/needed more of:
— Petra’s first time is literally on the ground/dirt, and it’s not even entered through her V 🫣. OUUUUUCHHHHH!!! 😅🫣🫣🫣

— they probably wasn’t a need to use gloves since Barry hadn’t been with anyone in a long time, but I wish that he would’ve just clarified saying that he clean (but also, since Petra is a V, that would only prevent STDs, not pregnancy). This didn’t bother me too much.

Overall, I loved it

I loved Barry, despite his unattractive name. I'm just disappointed JK didn't give me the sex I expect from her.

My chest seizes with love so true, it could never be denied. And when she gazes at me like I’m the greatest man on earth, I vow to spend the rest of my life proving her right..

Barry (32, former Green Beret) has lived in seclusion off grid after he suffered some significant scarring on his face after being wounded in combat. When his brother calls to say he's getting hitched, Barry knows he needs to bring a date to show his family that he's "normal".

“Princess......My tongue is your throne.”

Petra Kowalski (19, virgin) works as a receptionist for her family's business... an escort service ran by her four sisters. When she gets a call from a man who is only looking for a date, not sex, she decides to take the job herself.

“You’re in charge of my dick, princess, and I fucking love it. But that authority only goes so far. I’m in charge of everything else, do you understand me?”

The flames of desire explode, doubts and insecurities, and then an HEA.

You’re the most joy I’ve ever felt in my life. I don’t even think I knew joy until you answered that phone

SEX: The thing I love about Jessa Kane is that there are never condoms. Sadly, there are in this book. Their first time they use a condom, but since it breaks, Barry pulls out. I hate that so freaking much. Then, Petra says they have sex without condoms all night long, but we don't get to enjoy a single bit of it. They do fuck later without a condom, but I'm still mad.

Seriously, it's still good. Barry is all of the things I love.

Ms. Jessa Kane has done it again!

I love this story! I was uncertain how I would feel about these 2 characters and their plight.. I loved the first 2 chapters, then chapter 3 took a turn I was not fully on board with. There were some things that occur in chaps 4 or 5 that I was also not feelin at all either, but then after chap 4/5, things started to come together in a way where this book turned into a really sexy, hot, sweet and loving read..

I love Barry.. I would so have done the same thing that Petra did during that first conversation she had with Barry.. he just tugs at your heartstrings so much.. No way I could not have helped him either.

There are some funny things here too, but this is mainly a story of two people coming together, who seemingly have nothing in common, but find they fit perfectly together. How the unexpected often leads to our destiny path for us.. This is an age-gap romance as well.. She's 19 and he's 32 when they meet. A scarred war veteran hero, and a young vibrant woman with an old soul mentality, collide.

I love this story.

At the time this review was posted, this book was available on KU or $1.99 to purchase.

Spice?=5+

Quick and the usual spicy but it was actually very sweet and sorta emotional as well. For as short as her stories are, Kane knows how to incorporate the romance and feels enough that it doesn't feel shallow. Well done as usual 😆.

“The Girlfriend Treatment” is the story of Petra and Barry.

A scarred war veteran, a ray of sunshine girlfriend for hire, grumpy x sunshine with loads of role play, a hero who gives up control, rutting, small moments of angst and a super sexy HEA.

IT WAS HOT

Petra works as the receptionist? at the establishment ah hem with her sisters. She's not an escort she just answers the phones. When a call comes in with a gentleman seeking a companion to attend his brother's wedding Petra decides to take the job, her sisters are all booked up and after all there's no sex involved.....

Things you can count on with Jessa Kane:

Somebody will be a virgin
MMC is huge, or even literally a giant
Insta-lust will always turn into love
High spice with some kink (daddy/age gap/virgin FMC/c*m fixation/breeding, etc.)
Obstacles will always be overcome, leading to
HEA
Novella length

The Girlfriend Treatment provides all of the above. Petra is the witty, gregarious receptionist at her family’s escort service in Vegas. She takes a job posing as a girlfriend for the client at a family wedding. Barry, the client, is older and 6’6”. Petra is a young, never-been-kissed virgin. Suspend your disbelief (as well as your editorial eye), and let the Jessa Kane experience happen.

Did Not Finish
April 23, 2026
Couldn't finish this one, which is unusual for me with a Jessa Kane book.

I was feeling very protective of the MMC Barry, who is a wounded vet with PTSD and met the FMC when he called an Escort Service because he needed a plus-one for a wedding (he's been off the grid for two years).

At first, I liked the FMC because she seemed like a very compassionate person who wanted to do right by Barry after listening to his story. Since there wasn't anyone else available on the day the wedding was to take place, Petra decided to go herself so Barry wouldn't have to go alone.
My irritation began with Petra when she started trying to pull Dominatrix-type moves on Barry. This man has been shying away from public for two years (because of his scars), hasn't had sex in twelve years, and Petra (a virgin, BTW) is starting things right out-of-the-gate with Barry this way. Why? It made no sense to me. It seemed disrespectful and I didn't like it.

By the time I reached 74% and things hadn't improved, I couldn't go any further. I just wish I had read it first on KU instead of purchasing it up front.

Somewhere between 3 & 4 ⭐️

Insta-love short from my favorite author of those types of books! Some parts of this one were a 3 to me (could be mood-related) and some a 4. Very little "daddy" in this one for those that matters to. It was a mix of sweetly romantic and dirty; had some femdom vibes in their play and the "beastly" H losing control (hot!).

Im not going to rate this because i feel like it would be unfair. This year i have not cared for smut but i am in a slump and didnt have anything and JK is always an interesting time so i thought it would be fine. But i guess not.

My major gripe was the age gap. Not the number of years between them but the fact the fmc is 19 (which i know is not unusual for JK) i just was kind of sickened by it this time. 21 was right there why does she have to be a teenager? And it was very often mentioned and brought up. So it just was not for me.

Their interactions were cute the smut was hot. Everything i had a problem with was a me issue🤷🏻‍♀️

This was... entertaining! A spicy little nugget of smut and I ate it up. 😌 Throw in a dash of femdom energy, a gigantic hero with a soft, insecure core, and an absurd amount of affection (and yes, chaos-level reckless decisions), and you got "The Girlfriend Treatment."

It’s unhinged, it’s over-the-top, and it somehow still manages to be sweet underneath all the madness.

I swear, I will read anything Jessa Kane writes!!!

"Barry makes love to me all night. Not once do we use protection."

Jessa Kane is the QUEEN of short, fun, and fast novellas. She gives me the privilege to turning off my brain and just enjoying what’s given. The writing is amazing and even though I’ve read so many of her stories they all feel unique and fresh. The FMC in this has such a refreshing and forward personality that you can’t help but fall for. As always the spice is so right it will make you sweat and giggle.

Petra the Princess!

Petra is a sweet fresh young receptionist. Then Berry calls with a unique situation and sweet Petra wants to help him out because, she hears something in his voice.
Well Berry ends up being just as sweet sprinkled with obsessed. This story does not disappoint. Petra keeps Berry on his toes and there combustion of chemistry is off the hook. There is plenty of spice and sweetness.

It was ok. Novella so wham, bam, ty ma'am.

She works as desk ops for sister's "escort" business and everyone is booked so she fulfills a last minute weekend booking herself.

Dude is ex military, with burns on his face. At his cousin's (brother's?) wedding.
