This book was outstanding. I would easily rate this book five stars. Axel and Vicky were wonderful characters that had explosive chemistry. My kindle is still on fire. This book is a must read and I highly recommend.
This is the 1st book in the standalone series. Axel does not believe in relationships. Vicky is 8 months out of a divorce. Will they be able to work through their differences?

Bouncing Back is the first book in Nicky Hardwood and Jeanne du Barry’s Luna Escort Agency series. This erotic read features Vicky Burton-Leigh, newly divorced who reluctantly agrees to take on a client of her best friend’s escort agency, and Axel Remington, a Luna Escort client and businessman who does not do personal relationships. Axel is surprised with Vicky’s persona and is attracted to her. When he asks her back to his hotel room for a nightcap, the sparks immediately combust for a one night fling. Their relationship continues even though they agree to enjoy the moment with no strings attached. However, Axel and Vicky find they really do need each other. I highly recommend this phenomenal book with its believable and heartfelt characters and a plot with past traumas, emotional healing, eroticism, and sizzling romance.

Living in the moment
—>>> Vicky shakes her now-eight-month-old divorce off her feathers and moves on to help out her best friend Luna, who finds herself in a bind with one of her best clients of her escort service. Vicky agrees with reservations in full force, but it is only meant to be for one evening, as a stand-in escort.
Axel Remington was thrilled that his escort had fit the bill that night, even more so when she scored an in for him with an important politician, then ends the evening with an unforgettable encounter.
~How had he gotten so lucky? Here was a beautiful, intelligent woman who he got on with, was an asset to his business, and enjoyed sex as much as him – and felt even stronger about romantic ties than he did.~
While they both had the same views on relationships, it was not long before they found themselves both yearning for something much more, but love may just be too risky for their hearts. Lovely romance and read – great first installment for this series!
Enjoyable quick read on bouncing back into the dating game
I enjoyed this great read about bouncing back into the dating game for Vicky thanks to her best friend and owner of an escort agency. Vicky not only clicks with Axel, her client, but also helps his business. By the end of the evening, it is hard to deny the sparks between them. Yet Vicky has to be coaxed to be Axel’s escort again, but surprisingly enjoys herself nonetheless. What will happen when Axel’s lack of control in a heated situation triggers visions of Vicky’s past? The steam between the two is incredible and you feel the hesitancy by the two to move forward with something more. This was my first book by the authors and I thoroughly enjoyed the story!
Axel and Vicky make a great couple but they aren’t a couple. I loved this story, it was a slow build romance, sexy and hot, mutual attraction and respect. The character development also impressed me. Axel was a mystery, very much a business man but a wide history with many facets that made him who he was. Where as with Vicky she had a past not a nice one but she was making her way back to her true self. Meeting each other only helped speed the process. It was such an easy read, fast paced, a real feel good story and a credit to these new authors. Very enjoyable and I highly recommend this book.
This was an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review of this great book!

4.5 Stars
This was an enjoyable read. I enjoyed reading about their love story and how they fell in love. I enjoyed the intensity and the hot sex scenes.
Vicky, recently divorced and still recovering from a distant and emotionally abusive husband, gets convinced to help out her friend Luna by taking a job as a, strictly business no hanky-panky, escort for an evening that ends up being very much not strictly business. Vicky considers it a one-night stand but Axel, the client, has other ideas and the evening is followed by a week-long trip to Manchester.
This is a story about a woman who is getting back on her feet and rediscovering who she is and we get to go along on that ride. The story rang true, for me anyway, the dialog was honest and the sex was hot. The ending is not a cliff-hanger but is a great set up for a second book which I am looking forward to.

Vicky is a divorcee whose ex husband had taken her confidence from her and made her feel worthless. Axel was a billionaire who had had an unhappy childhood and did not do relationships. Can these two find their happy ending. Vicky’s friend Luna wanted her to pretend to be an escort for Axel and they spent a week together. Loved the characters and this was a refreshing story. Felt for them both when they split up due to a little intrigue which added to this story. Loved the read and recommend it. Look forward to Luna’s story with her new client!
