Genre: Erotic Romance
My Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Word Count: 17,530 words
After getting conned and dumped by a traveling guitar player, Lucy is struggling to make ends meet and things only get worse when she’s laid off from her waitressing job. Her last customer– a sexy, mysterious man wearing clothes that cost five times her annual salary– leaves her a $1,000 tip out of sympathy, but that money will only last so long.
But when she gets offered a job as a housekeeper at a brothel, things are looking up. Cleaning up after sex isn’t her usual line of work, but at least she won’t have to struggle financially anymore. When she literally runs into her heavy tipper at the brothel, however, things might get a little more complicated, especially when just looking at him is enough to fill her fantasies.
I’m still not sure what to make of this book, but I definitely wish there was more of it. I’m fascinated by this high-class brothel where everything is safe and 100% consensual and everyone treats each other like old friends. There are panic buttons in every room and all of the “Room Service” workers carry panic buttons on them as well (where they carry them isn’t mentioned, unfortunately).
I’m a little uneasy about what happens if one of the staff wants to quit, though. That’s never really mentioned, and Mrs. Stark, the owner of the brothel and Iron Man’s mother, isn’t someone to cross. Are they allowed to leave as long or have they taken a blood oath?
” Just know that if you accept you will be all-in. The secrets you keep will need to go to your grave with you. We take this vow very seriously.” — Mrs. Stark
Sounds like a blood oath to me.
Lucy’s a pretty cool character. She took getting fired well and she’s pretty kind and relatable overall. But her emotions when it comes to her ex are really simplistic. She’s just enraged that he left her destitute. And she definitely has reason to be. But anger is all she’s feeling. She’s not sad that he didn’t love her enough to stick around. She’s not regretting her decision to squander her savings on his debt (and it really was her decision. He might have sweet-talked her into it, but he didn’t hold a gun to her head). There aren’t even any lingering feelings of love or any sign she loved him at all. When it comes to her past, her entire character falls flat.
Of course, she’s better than Adam Palmer, the heavy tipper we know next to nothing about so far. The description “billionaire alpha” basically sums up everything about him. Not that I really mind Adam. He was actually pretty nice to Lucy. Despite the circumstances, I didn’t sense a disturbing power imbalance between them and he seems to genuinely care about her. I wish we saw at least one scene from his point of view. It would have gone a long way to making him a real character instead of an alpha-billionaire-on-the-verge-of-manly-tears stock photo.
I have a theory that he’s the one who got her the job at the brothel, but this has yet to be confirmed. I’ll be sad if this isn’t the case.
The sex scene, was honestly more comical than sexy to me. Reading about them screaming out each others’ names while doin’ it made me giggle.
“OH ADAM,” I cried out at the top of my lungs.
For real, have you or anyone you know actually shouted your partner’s name during sex because you were so caught up in the moment? It doesn’t count if you’re faking it.
Honestly, they talked a lot for two people who were supposed to be lost in the magical sensations of expert boning. Adam could even get out full sentences.
“Fuck Lucy, you are going to make me explode and I am definitely not done with you yet.”
As you can probably guess, this story is in need of some editing. Not just for punctuation issues (not too distracting, but still there), but also for the dialogue which is about as good as the best-written porn out there. The first chapter is also just Lucy straight-up telling her backstory. It only lasts for about a page, but it kept me from getting pulled into the story immediately and kept me from connecting to Lucy.
But despite all its faults, I still enjoyed the story. I thought it was really cute and I want to see more of Lucy and Adam together. You can get it for free on Smashwords.

Has potential but needs work.
Lucy had a bad breakup. We know because she keeps telling us about it, over and over. Then she loses her waitressing job, but her last customer (a mysterious hot stranger) gives her a huge tip that help until she finds a new job...
(She's still mad at her ex, in case you forgot.)
....cleaning up after scenes at a sex club. But the pay is super good, especially since she's just a housekeeper, not a "room service" (ahem) girl. Until, maybe, for one special guy (totally not her jerkwad ex) she could be a room service girl. Rawr.
The tale is a short story that needs a lot of editing help. The idea is there, the execution has promise, but the writing errors - wrong words, tenses, punctuation lacking, and more - were numerous enough to completely jar me out of the text fairly often and make the few erotic scenes not at all hot. The character development is lacking, which makes most of what happens unfathomable.
An example of the writing:
"Adam’s thrusting slowly picked up speed as he continued to bury himself deep inside me.
His lips wrapped around mine and his kissed sealed it. I was going to come and there would be no stopping it."

Lucy is a good girl that screwed out her savings and just lost her job. She soon finds an ad for a housekeeper with an incredible pay rate. Uh, what’s the catch?
On the interview, she finds out that the company services a very elite clientele with their fantasy fulfillment. As a housekeeper, Lucy would clean up some “elaborate” messes. Oy!
Story had some typos and grammatical errors as well as a slow pace. It didn’t really go anywhere and it wasn’t even mildly entertaining. The whole thing mostly goes through a typical work day, cleaning up “stuff.” It was nothing but day-to-day operations. So boring.

It's really frustrating when an author has a very flowing style of writing but can't get the grammar down. It's like building fancy cabinets with 16d nails-it's just not done. Wordsmithing is like any other craft, if you want to be taken serious you need to learn it. With that said, I really enjoyed the actual story and the MC's sense of needing a job came through strong and clear. The love scenes are well choreographed and the plot flows smoothly. Learn proper grammar and how to proof your own stories and this will be a much better read with a higher star rating.

Well.. a good girl that is going to go bad. 😂
Break up.
Jobless.
Meets a heavy tipper and spills her misfortunate news.
Finds a job as a house keeper.
But there’s something a little ..special about this house keeping job.
Meets a guy that’s familiar that requests her service..
It’s alright. A little comical to Me. 😅

Will Lucy survive
Why is everything happening at once. Jerk of a boyfriend steals her money and then looses her job. She thought her world came to an end. Butch tip of a $1000 and an interview at an unbelievable Manson her life may change for the better... Money Job and a hot man

This was a cute idea of a story.
Young girl, who has had a lot of issues with me in the past and jobs, lands a high paying job and expands on it.
There were a lot of spelling errors and it ended at 69%

A Disappointment of sorts
The cliffhanger comes at a somewhat awkward spot, more than a few grammar and punctuation errors. Adam feels too perfect which mean unrealistic. The main character is ditzy, air headed and making awful choices. So many negatives for my taste.

I enjoyed your book. It was short and entertaining. I am tempted to buy the next book. You have a great way of writing.
