This installment is books 4-6 of a 12 part series. We are still following the story of Mia Saunders who is a high paying escort at her aunts escort business. Mia still has several months left to pay off her fathers $100,000 gambling debt.
APRIL: For the month of April, Mia travels to Boston, Massachusetts to be the pretend girlfriend of a professional baseball player named Mason Murphy. Mason needs to improve his image for his sponsors, fans, and his teammates. The only problem is Mason comes off as an asshole, but behind attitude is a big heart.
MAY: Mia lands a job as a swimsuit model for “Beauty Comes In All Sizes” campaign. While in Hawaii for the month, Mia meets a sexy fire-dancing Samoan model named Tai. While soaking up the sun, Mia also soaks up some Samoan affection. Also, while in beautiful Hawaii, Mia spends much needed time with her sister and best friend.
JUNE: In Washington DC, Mia has to be a pretend gold-digger to Warren Shipley. Warren is a very wealthy member in DC. It turns out that Warren is very sincere, however his son, Aaron is totally opposite than this father. Aaron is a California Senator who thinks it is perfectly okay to take what he wants. We see that Mia is put into a very hard situation and see that friends are EVERYTHING.
I am still in love with this series. The story line is still original and is very easy to understand what is going on. Audrey Carlan is a fantastic writer. I love how all of her work in this series is just flowing so well.
Now, I didn’t enjoy the first story in this as much as the first book, but then the second story totally brought me back. The third story wasn’t great to begin with, but it had an ending that really was intense and made me very eager to get ahold of Volume 3.
The book starts off in April when Mia is going to spend the month with a professional baseball player. Now, I was pretty excited about this, as baseball players are probably my favorite athletes, but the story didn’t end up the way you’d think. She starts off in Boston and is supposed to portray a normal “girlfriend” for Mason Murphy, who is considered quite the man-whore. But in order to get some sponsors, he needs to tone his image down. So Mia is hired by a PR person for Mason named Rachel. But when she gets there, she can see that Rachel actually kind of likes Mason, except for his slutty ways. And really, Mia can also tell that Mason kinda likes Rachel. So while Mia does the public image thing for Mason, she works to be a matchmaker for the two in the background. She misses Wes, the guy from January, but she knew that she had to tell him not to wait, because she had to complete this year in order to get the money she needed to pay off the people her father owed. Unfortunately he does take her up on this, as she sees gossip magazine pictures of him with a famous actress, who even answers his phone when Mia tries to call him one time.
May is a much better month. Mia gets to go to Hawaii to be a model, and even better, she gets to take her best friend Ginelle, and her younger sister Maddy with her! But there are things going on at home. Maddy has a new boyfriend, and it seems to be pretty serious. Mia is worried about her sister, but when she is invited to meet with Maddy’s boyfriend Matt’s parents for dinner, she at least gets to see that they are good people and that they really care about Maddy. And it does give Mia a bit of relief about leaving Maddy alone while she is off earning money. But back to Hawaii. Her first day she meets a Samoan model named Tai. Now, of course, what I picture is a very large guy, and he is described that way, but I have to say that I’m guessing he’s not what I’m thinking of, not large in a fat way, but just large as a man overall. Mia’s still feeling a bit jealous about Wes, even though she knows it isn’t fair to him. And so she and Tai have a lot of fun. And the sex, let’s just say the sex this month for Mia is pretty darn intense. Extremely insane! To the point that she even passes out from it one time. Tai is a big boy in every way. Now she knows according to one of his family members that Mia will not be the forever girl for him, and before Mia leaves, she may have to try to do a little matchmaking for him again when the right girl does show up. But as with all of the guys so far, she leaves with him as a best friend.
The final month in the book, June, Mia is sent to Washington D.C. to pose as the girlfriend of an older wealthy man, who is the father of a young, attractive Senator. She knows right away that the man, Warren, isn’t interested in her for sex, he just needs the “arm candy” to impress the other men who do the same. It turns out that once again there is already someone else in his life, someone that he cares about, and has ever since his wife, the mother of his son Aaron the senator, passed away. At first Mia does flirt with Aaron a little bit. But soon, while Mia does her best to help Warren in business with the schmoozing, Aaron turns into a bit of a pervert. Walking into her room while she’s asleep and having a very erotic dream about Wes, Aaron decides he is going to join her in bed, that her being naked and moaning in her sleep means she wants someone to take care of that. Later one when Aaron finds out about the romance between his father and this other woman, it sends Aaron a little bit over the edge, and he really comes after Mia. Fortunately Mia has friends who will be there in her time of need, even when things get to a pretty scary part.
We get a tiny excerpt for July, knowing that Mia will be going to be in a video for a Latin rapper. I will be interested to see where the story goes next. And of course I need to know how things will move forward with Wes, as the two of them have to keep things the way they are so that Mia can finish her year of earning money.
I’d have to say may and June have been hands down the most eye bugging laugh out loud funniest months yet.
So my thoughts on this book is: I love it it’s something new to me. I do feel like I’m reading full on porn like it’s not a delivery it’s a porno ( pizza commercial). I really like how Mia doesn’t let all the money go to her head she’s a laid back type person. She would give the shirt off her back if someone needed it.
I’m undecided at this point about her and Wes. I was all for them in volume one but after what Aunt Millie said I’m a little taken aback. Not sure if I want them to be together. Is it also weird that I kind of hate Wes for being with Gina after he declared his love for Mia. I can’t blame him I mean she is doing the same but it’s for her job so it’s not really the same .
