★★★★★ “… it was all so sublime…”
I moonlight at Ma Maison as an escort to pay for Mom’s pricey psych treatments. Beautiful, broken billionaires pay ungodly sums of money to be with me because I’m empathic — I feel in my own body what they feel in theirs. I can heal what broke them.
When gorgeous high stakes poker player Dylan McAlister hires me, my empathic ability returns with a fury. I … McAlister hires me, my empathic ability returns with a fury. I feel the emotions that torment him. His shame roots in my belly. His heartache compresses my chest. His fear stabs me in my back. It’s overwhelming, it’s excruciating, but I can’t abandon him — I’m falling in love with him.
Will I help Dylan McAlister heal? Or will I break him beyond repair — just like the first boy I feel in love with?

I loved this book. The main characters are well developed. The book moves quickly. I liked the transition between past and present and thought the author did a great job navigating the storyline. All in all a great book. This is the first I’ve read from this author and I hope it won’t be the last.
Player ( 21St Century Courtesan Book 1) by Pamela DuMOND. All Evelyn (Evie’s) life she has had to take care of her Mom. Being bipolar she’s remained locked up a lot and its up to Evie to take care of her sister while she’s away. She has finally got her sister in college and she has finished and become a Elementary teacher. The only problem is the bills keep coming and she really doesn’t make enough to meet them all especially with all her mom’s medications. One of her fellow teachers talks to her about becoming a Courtesan ( High Profile Escort) but Evie turns it down until the bills just keep coming and she gets further and further behind. She becomes one of the best Escorts Ma Maison Agency has. She is full of empathy and she can tune into her clients so well she can almost heal them. Everything is going great until she starts receiving stalker letters from someone and on top of that she’s beginning to have feelings for Dylan McAlister one of her clients. She finally has enough and wants to get out of the Escort business but she has 4 clients that won’t let her go. One is Dylan, one wants to kill her, one wants to buy her and one is playing her. Can she get out with her life? This book was so good. It was a fast read and full of entertainment.
I loved this story! This is my first book by this author, I can’t wait to read more from her. Evie has not had the best life growing up but she does the best she can. She has a special gift that has allowed her to make some money helping men heal. Dylan is one of her clients, is it possible that she can help heal him or will she break him? This story goes back and forth between present and the past, this author has done a great job with this. I highly recommend reading about Evie and her life.
****4.5 STARS****
****ARC Received for Honest Review****
I read the prologue to this book, Tycoon, from that moment on, I wanted to dive into the world of the modern escort. Pamela is doing a bit of a departure from the books I have read of hers in the past, and she did it so well with Tycoon, the prologue and the full book Player.
In this story, you have Evie, the escort, who has special talents and no, they are not of the sexual talents. She is empathic and it serves her well with a multitude of clients that need that type of service. She is also running from a past that left deep scars and has hardened her heart. Throw in a new client, Dylan, who is wealthy, gorgeous and just as broken as she is. He holds his own mysteries and rough edges.
This book is just a taste of what I know will come in the next books, and thank goodness or I would be strangling Pamela now. I was so enthralled by the chemistry, tension, ease, sensual touches, and the way Evie and Dylan play off each other. A connection that I believe scares them both. I read this story in one seating and now I am pounding on author Pamela’s door, begging for the next one. At every turn, I don’t know what she will divan next. This is a must read.-Review by Catherine(Catty)
