“Sleeping with married men doesn’t bother me as much as not having a place to live does.”
Kaley Monroe lived a life of privilege until her father went to prison four years ago and all of her family’s assets were seized by the federal government. Fending for herself, she relied on what comes naturally to her—her beauty. Having sex for money isn’t glamorous or ideal, but it’s manageable. She doesn’t expect life to show her any mercy, and she won’t live in ignorance.
It’s not until Kip Foster is released from prison that her life starts to feel complicated. Somehow, Kip unearths desires in Kaley that she never knew she had. A desire to be more, to feel more, and…to be loved more. However, lies by omission are the most dangerous secrets, and they refuse to remain hidden.
Sometimes, easy isn’t always a choice.
I snicker as I descend the steps. Prison has done Kip well. He used to keep his hair long, tied back when he worked under cars. Now it’s short, cropped close to his skull, and it does nothing but enhance his features. It no longer distracts from the stark color of blue in his eyes or the slight hollow of his cheeks. And those muscles.
Oh my god.
I just saw Kip’s dick.
And it was glorious.
As I wait in the kitchen, I scope out the fridge, deducing that Lilly and Justin eat like pigs. There are three different take-out boxes, a surplus of soft drinks, and a full block of cheese. I settle for a glass of water.
Kip’s feet pound down the stairs and I can hear his annoyance in every step. “Enjoy the show?” he greets me.
“I see prison only added to your deep need to be super surly all the time. But yes, I enjoyed the show. How come you never mentioned how well endowed—”
“Kaley,” he interupts, gripping the bridge of his nose.
“There’s nothing to ashamed of. Most men would be ecstatic to be so…” I take a moment to hold my hands up, exaggerating by a foot or so.
“I swear to god, if you mention this to Lilly…” He trails off.
“You’ll what?”
He breathes out, turning away as he opens the fridge. “Jesus Christ, do they eat any real food in this house?”
You don’t need to read the first book in the series but I think it helps. I didn’t read book 1 and there were definitely some things I missed. And I didn’t have the backstory.
Kaley is an escort, trying to make money because her father was sent to prison and all his assets were frozen. So Kaley isn’t the priviledged princess she once was.
Kip has just been released from prison and is working on getting his life back together. He and Kaley have known each other for years (Kip’s sister is Kaley’s BFF) and there’s always been a spark, just now it’s grown into a 4-alarm fire.
This was a good book and a good read. It wasn’t an overly sweet romance but was definitely more suspenseful and I liked it!
4 stars!
