***WARNING***
This novel contains explicit language, sex, drugs, violence, and sexual
situations that some might find offensive. This book is intended for adults 18+
years of age.
In my
world, there is no such thing as love. It is just a lie we whisper into our
client’s ear. Love is foreign and hazardous. What I did not expect was to bare
my soul to a man who is as egotistical as he is dangerous.
His name
is Landon. Despite his blackened soul, he tried to save me, but what he didn't
expect was my torturous fate to catch up with me.
To your
father, I'm the escort.
To your
mother, I'm the whore.
To the
legal system, I'm the prostitute.
In the
end, I'm just the other woman.
I have no
idea if I will continue to survive, if I will ever find my path aside from the
gritty streets I know so well. There is a good chance I will wind up in the
ditch like most women in my position. Surrendering to my fate is the only
choice I have. I must relinquish it all.
Excerpt
Following Jayden across the way, I skim
the crowd at the café and land on a pair of handsome eyes. So handsome, I stop
walking.
Sitting at a table full of sexy men is a
short, blond-haired guy, his face hard and chiseled. My God, his arms are
pumped with muscle as his hands flex around a brown football. My core blossoms
with incredible need as I eye his toned arms, and what I assume is a matching
hard chest beneath his jersey.
“Charlie, let’s go!”Jayden yells, making
me realize I’ve been standing here like an idiot, staring at a sexy stranger in
a café. The guy smirks at me and tosses the football in the air, breaking eye
contact.
I tuck my hair behind my ear, giving a
small smile in return before walking forward. I suddenly crash into something,
the impact throwing me back on my ass hard.
“Shit!”I shout with pain.
“Fuck!”roars a male voice standing above
me. My eyes jolt upward to find a broad-shouldered man in a black suit, holding
a broken plastic cup in one hand with coffee spilled all down his front. My stomach tangles into a bundle of tight
knots, and my hands tremble from the strength and power this man radiates. Oh,
shit.
“I am so sorry!”I stand up and start
frantically brushing at the man’s very expensive-looking suit. My God, it’s
like rubbing a rock. His body is so toned and strong beneath my palms, which
isn’t helping me get a grip on myself. My eyes skirt up his arms, finding the
fabric stretched tight around his biceps and causing me to swallow the lump
forming in my throat. The knots in my stomach crawl into a fit of butterflies,
and my heart races. He’s handsome—intimidating, really. The way his toned body
and squared shoulders take up the space takes my breath away. His jaw is
chiseled to perfection with scruff claiming it perfectly. I bite my bottom lip
to keep from moaning.
“It’s fine, really,”he states, his voice
deep as he grabs my wrists to stop me from slapping at his stained shirt
pathetically. My body sparks with electricity where he grips me firmly. My
mouth parts and my breathing shallows as I slowly trail my eyes from his hold
on my wrist to his eyes. They’re green with little brown flecks thrown around
them. They’re captivating. His jawline is strong and defined, his nose broad,
and his dark hair is smoothed back with just a trail hanging loosely out of
place on the front of his forehead from our sudden run-in. He’s fucking
gorgeous, and I can’t look away.
“Are you all right?”he questions, raising
an eyebrow. His voice is low and rough, making my eyes focus on his mouth.
“I-”I stutter, completely lost in the
thought of his luscious lips on mine. These lips are not like any belonging to
the guys at my high school, that’s for sure. When you look at them, his lips
look like they’re made to make love to a woman’s body. The thoughts of the
glorious pleasure they could bring make my cheeks warm, my chest ache.
“Charlie, let’s go!”Jayden hollers,
catching mine and Sexy Man In a Suit’s attention.
“That your friend?”he asks, his lips that
hold the perfect cupid’s bow turn into a slight smirk.
I open my mouth to speak but a wild
hiccup noise escapes instead, caused from the wild beat of my heart against my
chest. I close my eyes, humiliated.
He chuckles, releasing his hold of my
wrists. The way he laughs causes my skin to rise with goose bumps.
“I gotta go,”I whisper nervously. I look
down and stride quickly toward Jayden, praying I don’t bump into any more hot
men on the way.
“Lord, give me strength. Vegas is already
becoming a bad influence,”I mutter, catching up with Jayden.
VIDA'S REVIEW
I must say this book was so unexpected from what I thought it will be. First of all Charlie has had a helluva childhood from not being able to remember what happened to her Mom to going to the foster families that have chosen to take her in (or shall I say take her check in). When she turns 18 she decides to leave to make a better life for herself somehow, along with her foster sister Jayden. When they first get to town Charlie literally runs into Landon and is immediately drawn to him. From there Charlie and Jayden have a string of bad luck which unfortunately for young naive girls like them leads down a path that neither wanted but needed to put food in their stomach and keep a roof over their heads. Landon is a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders due to a promise he gave his mom. He sees that Charlie is different than any girl he has ever met and knows that to uphold his promise he must let her go. This was a sexy story of survival and love that held me riveted to its pages. The suspense kept me turning anticipating what was going to happen and then BAM totally sideswiped. The character's are beautifully flawed and possess strength that one can dare to have. M.N. Forgy rocked this one out of the park and hopefully we'll get Roman's story next.
