I’m selling your fantasy. Are you buying?

They say that love is the most powerful force in the universe. They’re wrong. Sex, lust, passion, these are the emotions which human beings crave. And they’ll spend any amount of money for a taste.

I’m the guy that makes your heartbeat rise with a look, your breath falter with a touch. It’s my job. My name is Thor Jameson and I’m a male escort. No, I’m THE male escort. My reputation is unrivalled and well deserved.

I’ve always been for sale, until the one thing I didn’t even realise I wanted was thrust in my face by chance. For once, I’m not selling, and she’s certainly not buying.

That was a fast and torrid read! First book by LP Lovell I read and it won't be my last, especially because I have a feeling the Recherché series is going to be one hell of steamy books. In this one you meet Thor, the one who created the escort agency but there are lots of other people you meet: Xavier, his best friend, Maddox, the all tattoo and manwhore guy - Yes I'm very much interested in him - Kaden, the youngest and Cora -
I can feel a lot of dirty reads in the near future with this series and I can't wait. I have a feeling Thor was pretty tame with the description I had of the others.

If you are looking for something that will make you hot and a little flustered, you are in the right place. Sizzling connection, Thor and Poppy can't keep their hands to each other and I'm not one to complain.

"She looks so fucking innocent and I wanted a taste, just a taste of what it’s like to fuck a girl like that. I wanted to corrupt her, ruin her and make her scream my fucking name. It was better than I could have imagined."

Concerning the story, I think I wanted more connection, more get-to- know each other but this being a short stories, I got the minimum but it was still great. The relation between Poppy and Thor is sexy and sweet at the same time. It's nothing you haven't seen or read but it works so perfectly.

Mrs Lovell thank you for the steamy ride, and hopefully see you very soon for more dirty encounters within the Recherché series

Thor the first installment in the Recherche series based on several different high-end escorts in London. Now, I'll admit right off the bat that I'm a bit of an escort whore. The whole premise to me is so naughty but NICE. So when I saw LP Lovell decided to wrap her writing brain around steamy sexy escorts, I kinda flew into reading it!

Thor Jameson is the owner of Recherche. He's tall, dark, and tattooed. His client list is almost never changing because, let's face it, one time is never enough with him. So when he's approached to fill in as a fake boyfriend at a wealthy local wedding, he was initially hesitant. Albeit easy cash, spending hours on end pretending to be some mousy chick's boyfriend for the "show factor" doesn't rank as something high on his fun things to do list. But against his better judgment, he accepts. Except he's soon told the "girlfriend" he's supposed to court doesn't know he's an escort. When he sets eyes on the girl in question, Poppy, he's quick to jump on the job.

Poppy Whitely would love anything to not attend her sister's wedding but when she meets her "blind date" for the night, she's anxious to get in his pants show her sister she's not the mousy little ginger everyone treats her like...



This was one quick and dirty little number! And the author said it's the most tame? Wowsa! Thor was the perfect blend of romance and steam. Of taking a guy that's never saw beyond selling his body for pleasure and finding for once, he's interested in a woman- would himself pay to be with her. We also get a nice introduction to all the future escorts whose love stories are yet to be told...Kaden, Xavier, Maddox and Cora. And yes, Cora is a female escort! This book is a quickie almost novella and perfect to slip in (pun intended) between maybe heavier or longer reads. Because it's sort of a novella size, I kind of missed the depth of background we get for the MCs. Clearly Poppy has familial issues and I'd love to have gotten her backstory.

Looking forward to the next installment in the Recherche series!

LP Lovell steps into the escort genre and she manages to creat a fun, sensual story!
Thor Jameson is owner of Recherche Escort Service. He is very popular with his clients and he has partners that help him run his business smoothly. His boys are very popular as well and the money they bring in only helps grow the business.
Thor's life takes an unexpected turn when he takes on a new client, Poppy Whitely. The catch; Poppy isn't aware that he is an escort when she agrees to take him as her date to her sister's wedding.

Looks and intelligence. He must be a psycho. There's no other explanation.

Attraction sizzles between them and Thor is about to change every single rule in his textbook for her.
Can he ever tell her the truth?
The book was fast paced, spicy and fun! I loved Thor and Poppy was simply adorable. The chemistry between them was off the charts and this book is a great start to the series. I highly recommend it! Cannot wait for the next book.

Thor (The Recherché Series Book 1) by LP Lovell
3 stars!!!

“Whatever your tastes, we’ve got it covered. I’m selling your fantasy. Are you buying?”


Thor was a quick sexy read from LP Lovell, the kind of read that is well suited for a day by the pool or a holiday read. It is light in nature, low on angst and very steamy.

LP Lovell takes us into the world of male escorts and one in particular, Thor. Thor Jameson is the owner of Recherché, a high class escort agency where being the man candy on a woman’s arms is just the beginning of their remit. These men do anything and everything. They have their regular clients that have them on retainer and they also hire themselves out for one offs. The business is extremely lucrative and has made Thor and his merry men extremely rich.

Thor was aptly named by his parents, for all intents and purposes this man was a god… between the sheets but on first appearances he is a cocky, arrogant, confident and knows he’s a good lay. He knows he is good at his job, he thrives on it but now that he is getting older he is pulling back a little and leaving the majority of the work to the youngsters. The men and woman at Recherché are a family and Thor takes his responsibilities seriously and their welfare and wellbeing are at the top of his priority list, but most of all, they are friends.

“Looks and intelligence. He must be a psycho. There’s no other explanation.”


Thor is hired to be a “fake” boyfriend for a woman called Poppy. Thor is hired by her best friend and is given strict instructions not to let her know his occupation. As far as Poppy is concerned her friend has set her up on a blind date so that she can stick it to her sister who is getting married. Always the let-down of the family, Poppy can hold her head up high with Thor, walk in there and feel confident for once.

“I can stand in a room full of people and always feel alone.”


Poppy has Thor questioning everything. Thor has never felt this way about a woman, EVER. Thor cannot believe he is contemplating settling down, but what happens when Poppy finds out…if she finds out?

“When I come, I cling to her like she’s my fucking reason…for everything. And maybe she is, or at least she’s becoming it.”


As I said above this was a quick read and as such it was a little lacking in character connection for me. Thor was the only character where we got some background so that you could feel as if you could connect. Yes, it was a little cliché, yes it was a little cheesy, yes it was predictable but for all intents and purposes it was a hot, steamy, quick read that I ploughed through in no time at all. As this was a short read I felt myself wanting that extra length and depth to give credence to the love story that was unveiling on the pages and I think if it was a little more explored this would have been a really good read.

If you feel like a really, hot, steamy, quick read that doesn’t tax the grey matter then this is definitely the book for you, I liked it, just didn’t love it. However, with so many other escorts under Thor’s employ I can see this being a really raunchy series going forward.

LP Lovell is quickly becoming one of my go to authors. This is the third book of hers that I have read and once again she delivers. There is always some underlying humor in her books that just keep me cracking up and this book is no exception.

Thor Jameson is the owner of one of the most successful escort services. His staff includes mostly male escorts but he has recently included a female escort. Business is fantastic and Thor has set it up where he now only handles a few clients himself. For a rare occurrence, Thor agrees to take on a new client, which he hasn't done in years. It seems pretty easy. All he has to do is be a date to a wedding. The catch? The date doesn't know he's an escort. What once seems so simple now gets a little tricker. It's just one date, right? No problem. That is until he meets his date and is instantly attracted to her. He feels a pull towards her. Will he be able to walk away from this like the professional that he is or will this girl's pull be too magnetic?

Poppy Whitely is kind of considered the black sheep of her family. There is definitely some tension so she agrees to go on a date that her friend sets up for her with the intention of him being her date to her sister's wedding. When she meets Thor, she's instantly enamored with him and they hit it of perfectly. Almost too perfectly.

"Looks and intelligence. He must be a psycho. There's no other explanation."

Little by little, Thor keeps pushing his way into Poppy's life. Yet, there is so much push and pull. One minute here's there and then he's gone for a while. She tries to separate her feelings and label them as sex only but she's not doing a very good job at it and Thor isn't making it easy.

Thor knows he should tell Poppy about his business but he can't seem to find the right time to do it. He tries to stay away from her, keeping focus on his business but it doesn't work. He's just drawn to her. Will he ever be able to tell her? And if he does, will she accept it?

Here's the thing. I kind of really like the whole escort story. How one person just changes your world. What I liked about Thor and Poppy's story is that they both struggled, showing just how genuine their feelings were. He tries to stay away and he tries to deny his feelings but he can't. She grows attached to him but tries to convince herself it's just casual. Both are confused and vulnerable.

"Thor Jameson is my firework. He'll either burn me or turn into something breathtakingly beautiful that lights up the darkness."

I also really enjoyed the other people from Thor's escort service, Recherché. I loved the playfulness between all the guys and their one female escort. LP set it up to where we are left wanting to know more about each of them and I can't wait to get their stories.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It's very fast paced and has some extremely hot scenes. Like fan yourself hot. Pick this baby up and give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Hoooly shiiiit....



This book is hot. The sexytimes are scorching hot!!! THOR JAMESON is hot!



Ok....so....the story.

Thor Jameson is an escort and the owner of Recherche, the escort agency. He's been living a good life as one of the most sought after escorts and he's good at his job servicing his clients of affluent London ladies. Until one day when he's hired to be a "date" to Poppy Whitely, a beautiful, shy and very likeable girl. Poppy doesn't know that he's an escort - she thought her bestie set her up with a nice guy so that she doesn't have to face her snooty family alone at her sister's wedding. But there's something about Poppy that makes Thor want to protect and keep her and forget who he is.

This is not an original story....there are many stories on escorts falling over their clients. I've read 2-3 myself. But what's different about this one is this story is short, sweet and deliciously hot. It's not the kind where the MCs go through loads of emotional drama, some serious revelation on quitting the life of an escort, etc. This is a simple story about a male escort who found his girl and hoped that she would look past his history and love him for who he is. There's no actual HEA. In fact, the ending is kind of cute. This book is all about the sexytimes. And it's told in a very sensual manner. There are other characters to look out for too but i guess that's another book.

I would recommend it for those who'd like a lot of spice in their love story but doesn't want to go through too much of drama and plot twists. It's a fairly short read and can be enjoyed in a few hours.

Enjoy!


Oh yess......

Phew! Thor Jameson is h-o-t! Besides the baggage he carries around of course.
This is the first book in LP Lovell's new series and it gets off to a scorching start, that keeps you turning the page.

Thor has those spine-tingling alpha/dominant tendencies but not in a BDSM way. Just in that all-male, all consuming way that gets your heart pumping faster. The strong hand that grips you throat and the strength that pushes you up against a wall.

The synopsis of this book doesn't give much away, so neither will I. What I will tell you is that there's one hell of a hot man, a girl who appears to be the black sheep of the family and a villain I wanted to punch in the face.

There's lots of things that are left unexplained but I'm sure as the story continues, we'll get to find out more.

It's a well written and edited book that absorbs you into its tale and whisks you away. It's a quick easy read, which only took me a couple of hours and I have no doubt that you'll enjoy it - and crave more - just as I did.

Thor
By: L.P. Lovell

4 Star Review by Kristie K.

*Review is left intentionally vague to preserve the story and avoid spoilers*

Meet Thor Jameson, in his own words he is “the guy men want to be and women want to do.” Professional escort, and owner of Recherché escort agency, he’s living the dream. Thor and his team of escorts aim to please. “Whatever your tastes, we’ve got it covered. I’m selling your fantasy. Are you buying?”

Let’s get something straight. Before reading Thor, I was a virgin…I hadn’t read any of L.P. Lovell’s books (though I have some waiting in my enormous TBR library). However, I had heard delicious rumors that Ms. Lovell had a reputation for writing dirty, naughty, and deviant scenes in her books. After reading Thor…I can say without a doubt that I was NOT disappointed! One word can easily describe this book…HOT! Thor didn’t put on any airs, there was no over the top romance, or sappy fairy tale endings. Ms. Lovell kept it real, creating characters that you could almost see walking out of any door, on any street, in any city…provided you rub elbows with the filthy rich. There were sweet undertones, but the story never reached the point that it seemed unrealistic, or fake. Thor was unapologetically sexy, and made no excuses for his profession. I loved the interaction between the characters, and the development of consciousness that Thor came to in the book. His realization that he is worth so much MORE than a boy toy that can be bought for the right price. That he found a piece of self worth that he lost along the way made it even sexier. If I had any complaint, it would be that I wanted so much MORE. The ending left me with more questions than answers, and I wanted there to be more…so much more. That being said, I loved every word, every moment, every naughty nip. Thank you, L.P. Lovell for a hot and sexy walk through the life of Thor Jameson…male escort extraordinaire.

Hail to Thor King of Escort's


Panty melting hot, not only is Thor a very experienced escort, he's charming, witty and a good business man.

Poppy, I liked her, an average girl an artist who's parents had snubbed her because she was following her dreams instead of their expectations.

Poppy's friend hired Thor as an escourt to attend her sisters wedding with Poppy. Poppy is none the wiser and thinks it's a legitimate date.

There's Instant attraction and on Thor's part lines become blurred as he sees Poppy again unpaid and again and again.

Thor:
I'm an escort and Poppy...Poppy is the girl any guy would give his left nut to have.

There's no heavy drama, no descriptive back story's of both characters or deep meaningful thoughts and feelings, it is what it is.

Thor:
I can safely say that Poppy whitely is the only girl in the last ten years who has ever reduced me to spanking one out in the shower.

Poppy:
Thor never does things by halves and within seconds I'm melting into him and gravitating towards him. He possess and dominates, taking everything from me.


Thor is a damn panty melting hot read with fun characters.

I loved Thor but felt it ended too sudden, yes there's closure on the issues but it doesn't lead to the hea I would of expected.

It is what it is, a plot, a beginning a middle the end but oh so hot.

I love reading LP Lovell. She tends to take me out of my comfort zone. Thor is no exception. Thor is the owner of an elite escort service. Code for - male prostitute. This is not a comedy. This is not a dark read. But this book made me root for the main characters.

Thor is one of the most sought after male escorts. He owns his own company, and although he now has several employees, allowing him the freedom to work when he chooses, he ends up breaking one of his own rules. He takes on a client who doesn't know she's a client. He's hired by her friend to be a "blind date" for her at her sister's wedding. Poppy has been shunned by her family, which is why her friend wants her to go with Thor. She has no idea that he's a male escort. He's gorgeous and mysterious and makes her feel special. Thor enjoys her company because she's not pretending, has no filter, and doesn't look at him like he's beneath her.

I said LP Lovell takes my out of my comfort zone, and she does with this book. There are several elements in it that typically turn me off and cause me to stop reading, but LP's writing is so good, that I had to continue. And I'm glad I did. My biggest complaint was that I felt the ending was rushed. I wanted to know more.

This is the beginning of a new series from LP Lovell. The Recherche Series will focus on the high end escorts in this fictitious London company. I can't wait to read the next one. 4-stars!

This is the first book in the Recherché series by Brit Lauren aka L.P. Lovell. I don't normally like books about male escorts but I couldn't resist with the name Thor and I'm glad I did because I really liked it. Thor Jameson has been a male escort for over ten years, he owns his own very successful agency called Recherché. He has three male employees, Kaden, Maddox and his best friend, Xavier and one female named Cora. He's hired by Elodie to take her bestie to her sister's wedding but the catch is he can't tell her he's an escort. Poppy is the black sheep of her family because she's an artist instead of a rich man's wife. She is hesitant to go to her older sister's wedding but her friend has set her up with a blind date to accompany her so she's hoping it's not too bad. Thor takes Poppy to the wedding and they have a really good time except she drinks a little too much and they end up in a closet with him going down on her. He takes her home, they have mind blowing sex and he spends the night which is totally against his rules. He leaves the next day intending to never see her again but he's finding it difficult to forget her and soon they become obsessed with one another. What will happen when Poppy finds out he's an escort ? Will he be able to continue his job and have a relationship ?

Short, sweet, and to the point. Thor Jameson is insanely hot. He has women (and men) that want to get him in bed. It's the ideal life. Have women pay your for your services, whether that be to escort them to an event or during activities in the bedroom. Thor runs the said escort business. He and his closest friends are booked full. So when he gets the call to escort someone to a wedding, it's a bit different than his usual. He meets Poppy, who is a bit of fresh air. She doesn't know what he does for a living. She treats him like a real person, not just someone who gets paid for sex. She invokes feelings in him that he's never experienced and making him question everything.

Thor and Poppy were great together. It wasn't just the intensely hot sex, but also their connection outside of the bedroom that had me falling for them. Their story was over before I was ready for it to be. I was left with a feeling of wanting more, that the closure I was looking for in their story wasn't really there. Having said that, you don't want to miss these two, or the others that were introduced to in this story. It's a quick, sexy story that will hold you over in between reads.

Holy freakin hell. This was one delightfully dirty little read. LP is freakin brilliant and I love her writing. The story flowed extremely well and it's super addicting. The characters definitely have chemistry although their meeting is anything but casual.

Thor is a fucking hot ass escort. He makes the panties melt and ladies swoon. He's the total package. Hot charming and packing. Who doesn't want that in a man?! He's made bookoos of money selling himself and his reputation is mit certainly backed up. Only he meets this one little firecracker that changes it all. Will he be able to let go of the paid for banging life? He has a ton to lose.

Poppy is a freakin sweet heart. She's funny sassy and stunningly beautiful. She has a sweet soul although she's the outsider. She's an artist and those types are hard to understand. But Thor gets her. Boy does he get her.. wow! Being jealous of a fictional character kinda sucks. Lol.

This was definitely a fast paced action packed read. If you want steam and a delicious alpha male that likes to get down and dirty.... well you found it. It was amazing!!!

Wow holy moly Thor by L.P. Lovell was hot and sexy and oh so good. I have only read one other book by this author Tiger Shark and it was one of my favorite books this year and this one was just as good but in a different way. This one was much shorter but was still packed with a sweet and sexy story that had me hooked from the very beginning. I love the way L.P. Lovell tells a story. I'm a huge fan of her writing style and Thor although short was just the kind of book I was in the mood for without knowing it. Thor and Poppy’s story was one that I had read before but it was done the right way. You know the story a hot escort wanting to change his ways. The story is about a girl, Poppy that is set up with an escort, Thor and she has no clue that he is what he is. After spending time together with an extremely high amount of hot sexy time, she finds out what he is. She's shocked and who wouldn't be right. You will have to get it so you can fully understand why I liked this one so much!! I was given an ARC for my honest opinion.

Ok, maybe I’m going against the grain here, but this story was just ok for me. What should have taken me just a few hours to read (it’s short), took me almost 4 days. It just didn’t hold my attention and at times I felt I had to make myself finish it. Yes, there were definitely parts (sexy and steamy, because come on, it’s LP!) that were better than others, but I just felt the story itself was lacking something, and the ending just pissed me off. In my opinion, when you have an epilogue, it usually takes place later down the road…not pick up where the last chapter ends.

So if you love stories full of hot sex, then you’ll love this book. I’ll give it to LP, she certainly can write hella good sex!

The attraction of a short story made me read this book. I do love to read but sometimes I don't have the time and for me this was perfect.
Thor and Poppy, they are introduced to each other by Poppy's friend who hires Thor to accompany Poppy to her sister's wedding. Yes, there is sizzling chemistry between them both. But Thor does try to stay away from her, given his line of work. He can't stay away from her and for the first time in his career, he starts questioning what the hell he is doing.
This is a perfect short, easy read and still has all the feels of a great story.

Книгу я прочла за пару часов, страниц тут реально очень мало и это было ключевым моментом почему я ее решила прочитать. Хочу добавить, что почему-то думала что тут будет больше расскрываться тема эскорта, так как это действительно интересно, сама структура этого бизнеса жа и в общем как он работает. Но увы данная книга оказалась обычным романом с малым количеством страниц, хотя тут можно сделать было ещё меньше, а то сильно много воды автор налил. Книжка не отличилась оригинальностью вообще, обычно в книгах такого жанра присутствуют хоть какие-то повороты сюжета, а тут он был один и решился за страниц 5.
Вообще от книги я ждала дикого кринжа, но по итогу не получила даже этого. Эта книга просто с примитивным сюжетом, хотя иногда такое и хочеться почитать чтобы отдохнуть и не обдумывать сюжетные повороты, долго запоминать имена персонажей, тут такого нет.
Книга была прочитала за счет маленького количества страниц, так бы я ее забросила.

Quick and steamy.
Maybe it wouldn’t be enough to advertise an escort agency, but for 130 pages of erotica it will do.

Cute little quick read, very much along the lines of the Matchmakers Playbook.

I’m selling your fantasy. Are you buying?

They say that love is the most powerful force in the universe. They’re wrong. Sex, lust, passion, these are the emotions which human beings crave. And they’ll spend any amount of money for a taste.

I’m the guy that makes your heartbeat rise with a look, your breath falter with a touch. It’s my job. My name is Thor Jameson and I’m a male escort. No, I’m THE male escort. My reputation is unrivalled and well deserved.

I’ve always been for sale, until the one thing I didn’t even realise I wanted was thrust in my face by chance. For once, I’m not selling, and she’s certainly not buying.


Review:
“This is what I do. Some people are good with numbers, others can play multiple instruments. Me? I can make any woman we with a look. And that is a skill with an awful lot of power.”

5 escort me stars!! Quick, dirty and fun!

Thor runs an escort service with a few of his buddies and there’s a few rules they abide by… no feelings should be involved and discretion is key!!! Thor prides himself on his ability to make any woman moan and his ability to walk away without feeling a thing. He has his set list of clientele and he’s good with it. Until he gets a phone call to be a date for a new girl. The thing is Thor doesn’t do dates… it’s not his thing. But he decides to go for it. He meets up with the girls friend, where he’s given strict orders that she’s not to know he’s an escort and she’s being set up on a blind date. Against his better judgement Thor agrees when he sees Poppy. She’s gorgeous and for the life of him he can’t figure out why she can’t get a date on her own. The set off to the wedding and have a blast, but his rule of discretion?? Yeah that flies out the window and one night of passion causes his feelings for her to bubble to the top. Now with his job in jeopardy, his feelings all over the place Thor doesn’t know what to do?? Does he push Poppy away or does he follow his heart and risk his business and clientele?? And what happens if Poppy finds out what his real job is??

This book was highly addictive and very entertaining!! Thor is a sexy beast and he’s not afraid to tell you and anyone else that’s listening. But Poppy is definitely his match, she’s the perfect balance to his sexy ways! You feel for Poppy and her struggle to figure out what’s going on with the man she’s lusting after. And you can understand why Thor reacts the way he does, especially when he’s been in the business for 10 plus years. I really loved this book, like all LP’s books, but this one really had me hooked!! I hope we’ll be getting more from the other guys in the escort agency!

Sexy hot fun. Minus one star for sloppy copy editing, which I find distracting. But otherwise just the kind of book to read with a big glass of wine when you need to escape from real life.

This was so stupid. So, so stupid and hysterical and cringey. I facepalmed my way through this book and skipped, skipped a lot
I obviously didn't have many expectations when starting this book, because it's a short novella and the thing with short novellas is that, there's not much room to play with the characters and story line.
The H was randomly too controlling and being like "You are mine"; "You belong to me" in real life the guy would get bitch slapped.
And the h was annoying and immature and judgemental and ignorant.
Oh and the M/F/M threesome scene?? First, use lube people and second it felt like I was watching porn, but reading my way through it?? If that makes sense? idk
This book just wasn't for me and that's fine. If its for you, then that is fine too.

TATIA'S REVIEW
4 STARS

Short, sweet, and to the point. Thor Jameson is insanely hot. He has women (and men) that want to get him in bed. It's the ideal life. Have women pay your for your services, whether that be to escort them to an event or during activities in the bedroom. Thor runs the said escort business. He and his closest friends are booked full. So when he gets the call to escort someone to a wedding, it's a bit different than his usual. He meets Poppy, who is a bit of fresh air. She doesn't know what he does for a living. She treats him like a real person, not just someone who gets paid for sex. She invokes feelings in him that he's never experienced and making him question everything.

Thor and Poppy were great together. It wasn't just the intensely hot sex, but also their connection outside of the bedroom that had me falling for them. Their story was over before I was ready for it to be. I was left with a feeling of wanting more, that the closure I was looking for in their story wasn't really there. Having said that, you don't want to miss these two, or the others that were introduced to in this story. It's a quick, sexy story that will hold you over in between reads.

GINA'S REVIEW
3.5 STARS

Thor is a super hot, super quick read!!! Thor is one of the best dirty talkers I've ever met in a book! I really enjoyed the storyline, this male escort who finds the one girl he wants but shouldn't have. That was a lot of fun to read about. I enjoyed the characters and the banter was a lot of fun. The ending seemed very abrupt. I kinda wish that the epilogue was included with the last chapter and then the epilogue. I had a "that's it?" moment. Everything got resolved, it just seemed too easy. But overall, it was a good book with an interesting storyline and interesting characters. Might be worth the read if you want something hot, steamy and quick.

You're gonna need toy's and a few hours alone time for this one!!!

I'm really excited for this series and this is only book 1!

This is Thor's story kicking off the series. Thor is the owner of Recherché Escort Agency. He started it when he was younger and has made it into an incredibly successful business. He hired some more escorts and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor.

Poppy is the black sheep of her rich family and shy's away from the spotlight as much as she can. She has to attend her sisters wedding and her best friend arranges for Thor to be her "date" without her knowledge of what he does for a living. The story goes from here straight to HOT AS HELL!

This is a really raunchy burn your panties off read. It keeps you reading from beginning to end. The first scene you enter into will have you squirming and wetting your lips! As the story goes on you may need some assistance and a cool drink! I can't wait to see what comes next because i have a feeling this series will only get hotter and ruder as it goes on!

There is also a little love story in here which surprised me and i really loved both characters. Thor is a god in a suit who will fulfill your fantasies and poppy is a sassy independent girl and together they burn up your kindle!

You will love all the supporting characters. There's someone for everyone! The Tattooed badboy. The Suave educated one. The preppy boy next door. The beautiful nympho. Your needs are covered!!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It's a short read that will leave you wanting more more more! Can't wait for the rest of the series! I’m selling your fantasy. Are you buying? YES YES YES!!! I've already pre-ordered book 2 Kaden!
