Toying With October

Rate this book
My sister Violet wants me to start having more fun in my life, and that includes dating. She thinks if I find love my life will be better. I, on the other hand, am content with who I am. I do not need to date a man right now. I work two jobs to pay my bills and survive in a world that there is never enough money to cover my monthly bills. My plan is failing me when I lose a job and have to move into my sister’s carriage house. Everything changes when she sets me up on a date with one of her clients. I break Violet’s number one rule; don’t get attached.

I finish a project that I have been working on for weeks. I want to celebrate, so when my buddy, Ren wants me to come hang out with him at his employer’s house for a party, I go because there is nothing else to do. When I step into Moore Manor, the party is well underway. I get a drink at the bar while I wait for Ren to free himself from a client. I never thought I would be at an escort party, let alone for an escort to catch my eye. October Moore maybe sexy, but I don’t date, and I am sure as hell not paying for one. I have a black book full of names which I can call.

Fantastic Story

She goes to live with her sister who just happens to run an escort service.
While visiting with a friend, Julian spots October on her way out.

These toys are definitely not for kids. Another new hot, hot, hot book from Michael James. October seems to be having a serious case of if it weren't for bad luck, she'd have no luck at all lately. Her car breaks down, she loses her job, and moves in with her sister. While there, she catches the eye of Julian Grayson, an app developer who takes a shine to her. He thinks he found the perfect person to test out his new app. He needs a female tester and focuses on October, thinking certain things about her will make her ideal for his needs. These things are not true of October but it all initially works in his favor. What does Julian assume about October and what does she do when she finds out? Well, you'll just have to read for yourself to find out. There are many twists and turns in this story, both heart-wrenching and heart-warming but ultimately it's an ultra-modern romance with an HFN finale. I really liked this book and I think anyone who decides to give it a try will feel the same.

This writer is just the best at telling stories! Michaels James absolutely has done it again with this book! Julian a man dead set on never having any type of relationship other than love them and leave them. October a very independent women doesn't want no help from anyone even her own sister. Julian has an app that needs tested, October is the one he finds that's perfect for the job. So much more to this book, but I can't spill everything, so grab your copy today. Its a hot, steam, love story you don't want to miss! Looking forward to reading more from this author! ❤

Toying with October

Omg,couldn't put this down!!! The story line was awesome. October hire as something she isnt, but nobody knows that but her. She has wore her heart on her sleeve for a very long time always being told don't get attached . Well getting attached is the easy part, not getting hurt in the process that more tough. Keeping your feet under you while doing it is another thing!!!

Michael James latest book "Toying With October" is by far my favorite book this author has written to date. I felt for Julian, an uncle turned instant father to his nephew Lenny. Julian is also an inventor of adult toys trying to get his latest perfected. October is a woman that hasn't had the best of luck with jobs. She moves to her sister Violet's carriage house which is on the same property as Violet's escort service. This is the start of the miscommunication between Julian and October. Loved the sexual chemistry Michael James wrote that built between Julian and October to get the HEA. What woman wouldn't mind finding their own Julian to try his adult toys with. Well done Michael James!❤
