Valentine for Hire
For Bryn Stafford, the prospect of going home for her sister's extravagant Valentine's Day wedding, hopelessly single...again, sounds like hell on earth. She's always dreaded introducing anyone to the hot mess that is her over-the-top, obnoxiously wealthy and well-bred family, but desperate times call for desperate measures. After seeing an ad for the city's premier escort service, Elite Fling, Bryn finds herself making an appointment to hire one very handsome, very expensive, fake date for the big day.
When the woman of Brodie Merrick's dreams walks into Elite Fling, his brother's slightly immoral but incredibly successful “dating” service, Brodie has two thoughts a) what the hell is a girl like her doing in a place like this and b) what would those sparkly red stilettos feel like wrapped around his neck? He begs his brother to give him the job, even though he’s just the computer guy and most definitely not an escort, but because Brodie is lucky he soon finds himself with one very sexy fake Valentine.
When they meet on the day of the wedding, Bryn assumes he's the escort she's hired to be her date, but Brodie has other plans, plans that involve him and her and a very long and lucky orgasmic future together. Can he win his feisty fake Valentine's heart or will their chemistry fade faster than the syrupy sweet sugar high?
Warning: Forget candy hearts and frilly flowers, Brodie is a man's man—he sees what he wants, he takes what he needs, he lays claim to what's his. He's all alpha, all the time, and determined to give Bryn blissful orgasms, beautiful babies, and the last name Merrick. Hold onto your panties, Valentine For Hire is a saucy romp with a sexy, alpha stranger on Valentine's Day!

IT'S LIVE NOW!
4.5 HIRED STARS
“A woman only calls a service…like mine…when she hasn’t been treated the right way by a real man. I’m changing that tonight. No two ways about it.”
ARC IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW!
This book was about a single woman dilemma!
That dreaded wedding invitation and it's looming plus 1.
And to top it all off it's Valentine's Day!
What could be worst?
So, if you don't have a date for a Valentine's wedding when your sister's getting married, do you know what will happen!?
Most likely, your family will freak out and worry and ask countless questions about what they perceived to be your sad and surely pathetic love life!
And that is just what you need at this time of year, RIGHT!?
Therefore, the heroine does what any single woman would do when faced with this issue, and she hires an escort.
Not just any escort, an Elite escort no less.
So our girl is ready to go!
She has on the smoking HOT outfit, killer heels, and then
"I nearly choked on my own tongue. This guy was devastating. The word handsome wasn’t nearly enough to describe him. He was tall, shoulders cut as wide as a gladiator’s, the three-piece navy suit doing nothing to disguise that he worked out. A lot."
Looks like our girl is in for ONE KILLER DATE!
I know, I know, it's corny but I loved it!
And the hero is not really an escort, he is simply the brother of the man who runs the escort service.
However, when he sees the heroine walking in those killer heels he thinks
".....if any pair of shoes could simultaneously give a man a hard-on and a heart attack, it was those. I knew because my heart was racing and my cock was raging."
Also, that
"She didn’t belong in a place like that. My skeevy bro’s “dating service,” as he liked to call it, wasn’t a place for someone who had that kind of soulful emotion radiating from her eyes."
Clearly, he had fallen for her, hook, line, and sinker!
Now, the rest of the story is all yours to discover!
It's a short sexy journey that is worth the trip!
Now, if you follow my reviews in any way (even occasionally), you know how very rare it is to see the statement above, AS I DON'T REALLY DO ARC. I simply enjoy posting and reviewing freely. And I don't mind paying for a good book.
This book, has been on my TBR list since it popped up on Goodreads, so I honestly couldn't WAIT TO READ!
Therefore, when Ms. Cole offered me an ARC without asking I said what any avid reader would say in this situation...sign me up!!!
Thank you, Ms. Cole and your crew, for your extreme patience with me and for personally making sure that I received a copy.
I really appreciated that.
Loved it and I would recommend it to anyone.
My one small complaint was that it was too short. I really enjoy the novellas, but this one would have been even more amazing if it had been a wee bit longer.
However, the epilogue was extremely sweet so I can forgive it's length.
Worth a read and even a reread for me!
Safety: is perfect and without issues as they even exchanged medical information!

Ahhh, such a wonderful story. A perfect mix of sweet innocence and sexy encounters! The story is super short, but it's not lacking in any way. The plot is nicely developed and that makes it a perfect cold winter story to warm up your romantic heart. Especially since Valentine's day is coming soon. One thing leads to another and in the end you get a sexy romantic story with lots of hot scenes. I loved the main characters. They hadn't planned their lives to turn out this way but in the end fate had other plans for them. They met under unusual circumstances, to say the least, but somehow they end up going to a wedding party and their chemistry is off the carts. The rest you can figure out, right? I liked that there wasn't any drama regards to his secret. Some might want it but I like my stories light and fluffy. And that's exactly what this one is. Just a nice read that will make you day a bit better. :)

This was a a hot one
short, sweet, and to the point but, I wish there was more...
It sort of just ends even though there is an epilogue. It give you a few months after then 10 years later so you know it works out.

This is probably my favorite by Ms.Cole. Brodie was smoking HOT. He knew he wanted Bryn to be his from the moment he saw her and he set out to make it happen. Was there a deep plot and storyline? Nope. But I still loved it. It's a total instalove story with a great epilogue 10 years in the future.

Desperate girl needs someone to bring with her at her sister’s wedding on Valentine’s Day.
Desperate love-struck boy makes the girl believe that he is a paid escort.
They go together at the wedding and of course everything will fall into place in the end because Brodie knows how to treat a lady:
“You make a woman feel loved, desired, like she’s on your mind twenty four seven… That’s what women want. They want a man who knows their worth and spends every day showing them that will never be taken for granted.”
Bryn is so lucky!
The best day to read this most sugar-coated story is Valentine’s Day.
Happy Valentine’s Day ;)

Valentine For Hire es una lectura rapida y sencilla para leer en cualquier momento, no es un libro transcendental o inolvidable pero si eres como yo y disfrutas leyendo novelas de tematica de San Valentin estoy segura de que pasaras un buen momento con este relato.
En resumen, Aria Cole ha demostrado ser una buena opcion que elegir cuando no te apetece leer nada muy complejo o elaborado, volvere a repetir con la autora.
2 Estrellas!

This is a perfect sweet Valentine story! I have to read AC's other books soon. So good and always safe.
The story is about Brodie and Bryn.
Bryn didn't want to attend her sister's wedding alone. She's desperate to bring a date so she hired an escort at a dating service called Elite Fling.
Brodie's brother owns Elite Fling. He was there at the time Bryn came. He's not an escort but he asked his brother to let him take her to the wedding.
He made her feel special. Everything he said and every action he made were real but she kept reminding herself he was getting paid to do that until he came clean.
I love the epilogue! I know, I always say this but give me a sweet epilogue with marriage and babies and I'm happy! It makes every story complete for me and the epilogue in this book is really good!

Unpopular opinion...
This didn't work for me at all. There was no character development. I usually really like Aria but I couldn't connect with this one.

Unpopular opinion: I haven't liked a single Aria Cole book yet. I don't like the writing style or the characters. Her books have all the criteria for something I would love but I guess she's an author that just isn't for me. Oh well

Book idk number lol but this is the Fake dating box for smutathon!! It was pretty fun, sweet and just a good book. I do wish it was longer cuz there could have been much more to this story.
Bryn needs a date to her stuck up sisters Valentine's wedding and she finds a site that does that Escorts she really doesn't wanna do it but she can't face her judgemental family on the big day. Brodie sees her when he's there to help his brother with his computer, he wants to date her no escort can have her and he wont take her money he is going to make her fall for him and it's not going to be fake... and it was steamyish and dirty and lord i wanted more.
Beside the shortness my only other complaint is Bryn said her family is ugh but we honestly never saw it even her sister who she said was a nightmare only person we saw or know something was the finance who was said is a ex escort??
No ow/om drama, No cheating, sexy time, not a manwhore & No virgins

Sweet and sexy Valentine day story of Bryn and Brodie- how one hires an "escort" to escape going alone to her sister's wedding and ends up falling in love.
Insta lust- sudden arousal- honka honka- no glove loving- sweet HEA.
I felt the author was confused regarding the hymen status of the heroine.. but oh well.. maybe I blanked out (I do that too)
Safe
3.5/5

I chose this book as a late Valentine's Day read and it was my first by the author.
It was... insta-everything. So OTT, I couldn't really get into it.
I believe in love at first sight, but I need to feel that the connection is there. I need more than this story delivered.
Quick, safe, and sexy, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did.

Valentine For Hire
Aria Cole
3.5 stars
Brodie and Bryn -- this is a book that maybe could have received a higher star rating if it were a tad longer. I felt as if there could be some more to the story and not that it was rushed but potentially the characters more developed and the story a tad bit deeper in the sense of the family situations.
Brodie is at his brothers elite escort service helping him out when Bryn walks in for her interview or potential booking of an escort to her sisters wedding. Not only has she never fit in with her up tight family but she also cant hold a candle to her sister. The wedding of the century is to be held on Valentines Day and Bryn knows she cant go alone. She needs a stand in and dating is not in the cards for her. Single and career minded is definitely not a winning situation in her families eyes.
Being the nerdy one of the family Brodie is not for hire but when he sees the lovely woman walk into his brothers establishment he cant imagine that hiring an escort is something she is comfortable with. Knowing she is not the typical client he convinces his brother to let him take the beautiful woman to her event.
Now here is where this gets a little odd for me. Brodie doesn't really care for his brothers escort service but yet upon first meeting Bryn he is really controlling and a definite alpha male. I felt like I had missed something or maybe there was a back story on him from another book that I wasn't privy to. Something just didn't click there for me. I don't know -- it wasn't that I didn't like the characters it was more as if I didn't understand them completely. (Again back story). I do hope that we get a story with Danny, Sophie and a few others -- maybe we already have and I don't know .. I have to go research that.
Having said that this is not a bad read. I just wish that there was some sort of connecting line between the then and now. Thank you for the ARC and click this one up for a short read this Valentines Day.

Not to be taken seriously.
Valentine For Hire had an exciting beginning but I had some issues that I couldn't get past. It's the first time I read a book by Aria Cole and I enjoyed very much her voice and the pacing.
I was very anxious to read Valentine for Hire because of the blurb. However, I was disappointed by some absurd situations where they were reckless and plain unbelievable. Not only that but Brodie, our hero, also makes the heroine says "he owns her". I'm so tired of this behavior!
I don't want to include any spoilers, so I won't give examples, but what I can say is that the hero had a severe case of insta-love and used sex to "force" the heroine to do/say things she wouldn't otherwise. I would say he's sick and need therapy ASAP!
A steamy and quick read that can be entertaining if you're able to overlook a couple of over the top moments.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
February 6, 2017
Valentine for Hire is my first book by Aria Cole but it won't be my last. It's a short standalone novella and an incredibly quick read with instalove but it totally worked for me.
The beautiful Bryn Stanford needed a date for her sister's wedding. She didn't like her current options and needed a distraction. Enter Elite Fling, the high end escort service.
Brody Merrick was in the right place at the right time. He's an IT wiz and stopped by his brother's company to lend a hand with their computer systems. The second he eyed Bryn, he knew she was it for him. He convinced his brother to let him have the job and the rest was history.
I was captivated immediately and fell in love with Brody's alphaness from his first appearance. He was gorgeous, totally sexy, confident, dirty talking and hot. Bryn was no slouch herself and was the perfect mate for Brody. The sex was off the charts and a great valentine read.
As a novella, the storyline didn't hold much depth and had very little character development, but it totally worked for it's purpose and for what I needed at this time. Cole even treated us to epilogues that took us a decade into the future.

A very quick, fun, and steamy read. This was a insta INSTA love story. Literally within half a day Brodie and Bryn meet, hookup, get engaged, and try having a baby. Whew! What initially drew me to this book over the countless other Valentine’s Day novellas was simply the cover. Who ever the model is ridiculously hot.
Even though the story was lightening speed fast, I rather liked it. Brodie was your typical alpha with an extra dose of bossy. He saw what he wanted and he took it. Bryn, was the black sheep of her wealthy family. Preferring to focus on her career rather than the elite social scene, she was desperate not to appear pathetic showing up to her sister’s wedding without a date. In walks Brodie. Only, he’s not really an escort. He just wanted to meet Bryn, and from there the happily ever after had begun.
I loved the epilogue. I love when the H and h, even a decade later are still insatiably in love. So sweet! If you love a good holiday novella, this one is a good one.
HEA, duel POV, no cheating, no triggers.

Short, sweet and very hot read.
Bryn isn’t like the rest of her family she has been focused on her career and keeps her distance from family gatherings unless she is required to be there. Unfortunately her sister’s wedding comes under a compulsory attendance, not wanting to attend alone she takes a chance on a male escort service she happens to come across. Taking a date she hopes to avoid the looks of pity from her family. Little does she know that this date is anything but fake, it’s just the start.
Brodie isn’t that close to his brother but if he calls he will always help him out, he happens to be having a technical issue with his software that Brodie is trying to help him with when he spots Bryn. One look is all it takes for him to know that she is destined to be his and he will do anything to have her forever. Even though he isn’t an escort he has to convince Bryn that hat he feels is real and for a nerd he is a dominant alpha in every sense of the word.
He sets his sights on her, he claims her and she loves every moment.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a quick read but I didn't feel like it was lacking in any way. Bryn needs a date to her uppity sister's wedding and she needs this date quick. While scrolling her newsfeed she sees an ad for an escort service and decides to go for it.
Brodie is the owners brother, and when he sees Bryn in the waiting room, he's instantly attracted and wants her. After talking his brother into letting him be her escort, he's all set to woo her.
These two have insane and instant chemistry. They were so good together. I was pleasantly surprised by Brodie. I didn't expect him to be a little on the dominant side. I really liked it!
This book was really great and I'm hoping there will be a book for Brodie's brother!

5 Stars!
Quick. Dirty. Passionate. Those are the three words I first think of when I hear Aria Cole's name. Her books are always promise multiple happy endings, over the top/insta everything, and delicious alpha that make us weak in the knees.
Valentine For Hire was a great book just in time for the holiday season. This book will make you swoon, smile, laugh, and fall head over heels in love. I devoured this hot little number and didn't come back to reality until the pages quit turning.
If you want something fast and sexy, this grab this great novella today!
I highly recommend this book.

Typical of the author, this was a short and steamy read. Brodie just happens to be at his brothers office when Bryn walks in to hire an escort for her sister's wedding. Its insta-lust for him and he volunteers to be the fake boyfriend. Bryn is different from her hoity-toity family and wants to fall in love for the right reasons.
They are steamy, sexy and sizzling together and the relationship blossoms at full speed. Brodie never intended for it to be anything but. He had set his eyes on her and his conviction was enough for her.
Funny, hot and insta-love makes this book a fun read.

I don't know what, but it was something missing. I can't explain. Maybe how h described her family at the beginning, snobbish person's, who looked down on her and later we find out they are OK fellows. After that made h look as someone full of judgment. It was okay storyline, but like I said something was missing for me.

I didn't like her. At moments (with her family) I felt like she was the bitchy OW
