Escort Unleashed

Rate this book
Emma Carling may have graduated from escort school with distinction – but her journey has only just begun. Now she must prove her seductive skills in the real the five-star hotels and lavish mansions of London. She must make the city’s most connected, powerful and wealthy men sit up and take notice of her. She must become a pedigree sex machine. But will she really earn the life-changing money they spoke of during training? Will she die of shame or learn to love opening her legs for a living? Is she dominant, submissive or both? And what if her friends, or worse yet, her parents, find out about the crazy twist her career has taken?As the heat in her new work rises, Emma crosses paths with a mystery man who pays to abuse her – both mentally and physically. She is never allowed to see him, but she hears his hot, threatening whispers loud and clear in her ear. She fears he is someone who knows her well, yet their encounters fill her with more passion than she cares to admit.And then there’s Charles, who paid for her schooling and worships every inch of her body as though she’s a work of art. He prefers prostitutes to marriage, but she stands on the brink of falling for him. Will lust trump fear? Will romance conquer leather belts and metal chains? Can her faithful school friends and experienced agent help her?Find out the answers by joining Emma on her wickedly liberating ride through an exclusive world. A dark, sexy world of which nobody ever speaks… This book is the second in a series of three, and does contain a cliffhanger.

About the author

James Grey

42 books169 followers
James Grey is one of a small handful of genuine male authors writing erotica. His work is known both for its honesty and for its mix of female and male perspectives.

His most successful books thus far, notably his best-selling Emma series, are written from a woman's point of view. Not only do these popular novels strike a chord with female readers looking to explore their fantasies, but they reveal much about the sexually liberated and powerful women in whom this author so fervently believes.

Grey also lays his own innermost lusts, hottest experiences and darkest disappointments on the line for all to see: passion, ecstasy, angst and unsugared failure. If you want to know what a man thinks, feels and desires when it comes to women and sex, look no further than some of his short stories.

He may write his erotica under a nom-de-plume, but Grey has been widely published by magazines and newspapers around the world for over two decades. He still spends much of his working life writing about topics other than hardcore sex. This includes travel books under a different author name.

Grey began writing erotica in the run-up to Christmas 2013, inspired by a recent visit to a sauna in Germany and prompted by a subsequent period of ennui at his aunt's house in France. His self-published author ego was then born on a grim, hung-over New Year's Day in England, when he uploaded Hot Wet Touches to the Kindle Store.

Connect with him online - you'll find details at the back of his books - and you might even find a picture of the well-travelled Grey at a book signing event.

Grey is in his late thirties and lives in a European capital city. And yes, he likes to keep you guessing. But if you want to know something, why not simply ask him? ;)

TWO BOOK REVIEW:

If you’re anything like us then you’ll know that feeling that comes upon you as a reader when you have a million books on your kindle but all you crave is some good old filthy erotica. Things can get too morose- too serious or too emotional; so on a sunny weekend we decided to indulge in a romp fest of epic proportions. Now, we’re no prudes and it takes a lot to make us blush so when we tell you that this had us checking our surroundings as we were reading then you’ll know what we mean…

We read book one and two in the Escort series in one day. Why not go all in, right?! And it was not just the sunny weather making us hot and bothered, it was the story of Emma Carling. We have to say that if you’re adverse to every hole’s a goal and overly descriptive sex scenes where- the more the merrier- is a theme, then this may not be for you.

This is not a love story- rather it’s the story of a woman’s sexual awakening and earning a pretty penny whilst doing so. And when Emma realises her inherent love of women, men and sexual activities- well this girl certainly is a force to be reckoned with and doesn’t she aim for the top…bottom…well you’ll know what we mean if you pick this series up.

Whilst we never really got an in depth character development or get to know the character of Emma from before we met her, we enjoyed her company. Her escapades had us seeking freezer time- it had us laughing and it entertained us. It was hot, for sure, and also the type of well written easy read that we all need every so often.

The Author behind the words is apparently male and we’d have to say that the erotic and descriptive nature of this series certainly reads as such. It’s very clear that every pubescent and adult male’s fantasy is represented here in it base form and we had to laugh sometimes at the ‘cheese factor’ and situational porn-like settings.

Whilst set in London, England it wasn’t particularly overly British- as in many words aren’t ones we’d use so we didn’t necessarily get an authentic Londoner feel. However, this didn’t impact us as such as it really wasn’t that kind of story.

Book one; Escort in Training– does exactly what it says on the tin. After leaving a job and a Boss she hates; she enrolls in an exclusive escort school hidden in the English countryside. This, on suggestion by a wealthy friend of hers who knows people who knows people…..It’s all rather secretive and cloak and dagger. We have to say that we do wonder if this school isn’t every man’s- wankfest– filled dream. Or woman’s for that matter!

Book two; Escort Unleashed– Or should that be Emma Unleashed, because after graduating with flying colours- which is no secret- she certainly goes and conquers the market for the able and willing in the premium escort industry of London. This book was tamer compared to book one and we loved the building connection between Emma and her sponsor. There was more of a story and an intriguing and dark mystery developed. Whilst we still enjoyed hearing about Emma we have to admit that we became a tad tired of certain repetitive aspects. We realised what we were missing – the love aspect. It was still all about the nookie and we all know that too much of one thing and not enough of the other – well interest wanes. However, just as we were wondering if we should put it aside for now something began unfolding which we’re now absolutely invested in and it’s the reason we really want to read book three in the Emma Series. So bring it on James Grey and prove whether our conspiracy theory is right….or not! This was an old-school cliff-hanger and we bloody loved that.

So, we’ll hand it over to the Author James Grey (of all the pen names to choose!)…..

About James Grey

I am an extremely naughty boy. The average guy thinks about sex, what is it, eight times an hour or something? For me quadruple that. My imagination is a wild place. You’d have a lot of fun there. So here’s the thing: I revere and worship women. I find your scent intoxicating. The feel of your gentle, soft skin is like a brush with the divine. Kissing your perfumed hair makes me close my eyes and silently give thanks.

I love to see you naked, adore it when your hair tumbles down in perfect curls over your bashful, beautiful breasts. When your body glows in the golden light of a flame, it dazes me. I am entranced by the bead of sweat that forms on your tender neck and gently trickles down your bare, tanned back, because it’s your biggest expanse of skin. And that sin’ every inch of it- is joy and wonder to me. You are everything I am not. You fascinate me. I can never get enough of you.

But don’t be entirely fooled by the poetry. I am a man. I like sports and lesbian porn. In my perfect world I would have a harem. On the other hand, I don’t like beer, cars and explosions very much, and I’m into literature, and I’m sensitive enough to cry at times. So maybe I’m not the stereotypical guy. I’m complicated.

The thought that you may be turned on by my words, turns me on more than you can know.

What a tease!!!

Build up, build up, build up... CLIFFHANGER!! Arrrrggg!!!

Another chapter in Emma's story and another intriguing POV.

"No, mere soap will never purify my wanton flesh."

This story makes you question everything you thought you knew about right and wrong as Emma comes to terms with who SHE is, not who society tells her she is. I love it!
Also, as much as I'm enjoying the developing relationships that Emma has with Sarah and Charles, I need to know who the mystery client is... NOW!!!

Emma's training is complete. As her agent secures top money for her services, Emma needs to decide how she's going to move forward with this new lifestyle. Will clients know her from her past? Can her friends be discrete? Will her parents approve? Does danger lurk around the corner?

As Emma is to determined shine and never complain, she's keeping her thoughts to herself and enjoying the sexy time perks of her job. Will this be her downfall? With an outstanding cliffhanger, James Grey has me once again hooked! A must read.

Written in first person from Emma's POV, this series must be read in order. Readers should note that this is not a romance series and there is not a romantic HEA. The focus of this series is Emma's s3xual awakening and her journey to acceptance of her desires and her satisfaction with the life she chooses. These were my first books by this author and really the first time I have read erotica written by a male author. I will say, there is a difference.

Most of the series, and all of the physical scenes read like the fantasies of a teenage boy. They are hot but there isn't a lot of depth to them. Emma's journey of self discovery also seems pretty shallow at times. For a woman of 26 and 27, she doesn't seem to adult very well. Her emotions are inconsistent regarding some of her clients and even her friends. She enjoys the physical connections with a variety of client but occasionally struggles with guilt and shame because of it. I found her personal journey interesting, I just wanted more. There are some twists and turns along the way and book two ends on a significant cliffhanger. I found my feelings about this series mixed. I wanted so much more yet it was like a train wreck and I couldn't stop reading. I think part of me kept holding out hope that the story would gain the missing depth if I just kept reading a little more. Ultimately, the series left me unsatisfied.

Emma has passed the course with distinction and is ready to leave her prejudices behind and embrace her new role so an escort. The only thing that can hold her back is herself.

Emma is introduced into her new role by a caring and loving man who wants to cherish her but that is not the same for all of her clients.

There is a man that desires her but it seems only to punish her and seems to actively dislike her.

In the first book Escort in Training, Emma is introduced into her training in a safe environment but in this book we see that there is danger in her chosen profession.

Emma enjoys pain but this is personal. The mysterious man wants to degrade her and as much as she does find it stimulating, she also feels wary of how far he will take it.

James Grey again has written a story that is told from Emma's point of view but as much as I enjoyed it, it did make me uneasy with how the mysterious man seemed to actively dislike Emma.

I am looking forward to reading the next instalment and discover where Emma's path leads her.

I can give no less than 5 stars.

Emma's exciting story continues

In the second book Emma after having graduated from school for escorts with distinction starts her exciting working life as escort. The story, as one would expect, is full of details about her daily work with different clients and there is reasonably good background plot aside descriptive sex scenes. The story ends with cliffhanger as we watch relationship Charles and Emma had take unpredictable turn with sudden revelations. I'm curious to see whether indeed what happened is what I suspected.

Overall good read but little over the top with hot scenes, good plot and characters descriptions so deserves solid 4 stars (but not as good as the first book, which got 5 stars from me). Still would recommend.

The second of a three volume series, Emma has returned from training and starts to build a business. We see her growing closer to two people, Charles and Sarah. Charles is her regular Friday night, while Sarah becomes a live-in lover. Obviously the first is not a forever thing, and she's learned that lesson. It's also clear that she doesn't want the second to be a long-term relationship. She's exploring herself, and her sexual identity.

There's also a mystery man and this book ends with a cliffhanger. Book 1, interestingly, doesn't. The cliffhanger in that book is that you want to know what Emma does next.

This is the second instalment of Emma's story. If you thought book 1 was hot believe me book 2 won't disappoint.
I love Emma, she's confident yet shy, she's daring yet apprehensive. I can really identify with her highs and lows, believe me this is a fantastic book not for the faint hearted. It draws you in and just when you think you are going to find something out it ends. I can't wait for the next one!
I highly recommend this book its superbly written and this man can surely get inside a woman's head.

Erotic story telling at its finest

I'm still quite astounded at the quality and build-up in this second tale of Emma and her new life as a courtesan, the way the tale leads you to the visit of her mum to the new flat and how she's so trapped and worried about the explanation is fantastic, oh yes and the sex is good to.

On to the final book now and the delightful way its been set up for the unveiling of her Master.

I found this second book engaging and with enough elements that I was invested beyond the sexual aspect. The deeper challenges of her choices have sucked me in and made me want to finish the series. I like Emma beyond her proficient prowess and her natural aptitude for her new profession. She is interesting beyond the obvious and carries herself in a realistic manner. I think the third book will be good too. I long for the answers to things that are happening in her life.

### 5 Stars ###

I won the first book in Dublin and at that point the second book wasn't out, not too sure why I've since waited so long ?

I loved every minute of this book and the continuation of Emma's crazy journey, luckily for me book 3 is now out so I'm diving straight in.

Great read, well worth that one-click.

Thrillingly Naughty

This is one amazing series. I love Emma, Sarah and the girls. The build up of encounters and possible reveal of the antagonist leading to book three is too exciting for words. I couldn’t put this book down and now am ready to search and download book three. Thrillingly naughty and easy to see this story a reality in our world.

Continues to be addictive

It’s took me two days to read this book. I’m loving this story an excited to start reading book 3 in the series tonight. Emma is growing so much from the start of the first book, this book has everything you want. James Grey is moving fast up my list of authors I can’t read to more of.

Okayyyy!!! Not bad for book 2!!!! Not as many steamy scenes as book 1 but there was still quite a few. Lowkey cute that Sarah and Emma are still together. I would've hated it if Sarah let her jealousy get the best of her. LOVING THE SUPPORT BETWEEN THEM TWO!!!
