TRIGGER WARNING!!


This book has child & adult trafficking in it!

A boy, Thomas, is a gigolo. But he doesn't want to be, he is forced to be. He meets a girl, Cassie & falls in love with her. It tells the story of how she helps him escape. It's an awesome book!

his is the first book I've read by this author and didn't know what to expect with the writing style.

The chapters are short and to the point. The action moves at a good pace and characters are well developed.

This is one of those books that seem so unreal yet I'm sure these situations exist in the real world.

I'm glad to have found this author on TikTok and be reading other books by them in the future .

Gripping

This story grabbed me and had me hooked! I even blew off work to read it. A very realistic storyline, what a scary scenario, what a twist I never saw coming the Woman's story

Forced into male prostitution at age 17, Thomas tried to get out but was forced back into it. He meets Cassie a down on her luck lady who helps him escape from the life that was forced upon him. This book is a fast read with short to the point chapters. The plot is good and unfortunately could be realistic and the characters were likable. I recommend this book.

Thomas and Cassie

Thomas and Cassie took me on so many emotional roller coaster. My heart still aches for everything Thomas survives. This story was so insightful from the MMC POV.
