When Rupert meets Josh in a bar, he’s smitten on sight. He’s never paid for sex before, but when Josh propositions him, he can’t resist. He should have known one night would never be enough. Luckily for him, he has an inheritance to support his addiction to Josh, because his job in IT wouldn’t cover the cost.
With each appointment the lines get increasingly blurred. Something is developing between them that feels more like a relationship than a business transaction, but they come from different worlds and to go from client-and-escort to lovers seems impossible. If they want a future together, Josh and Rupert have a lot to overcome.
This book is a complete story and can be read as a standalone.

"You can kiss me," Josh finally said. "This isn't pretty woman, you know."
[Josh] kissed Rupert slow and deep, pulling him in close as though he was trying to meld their bodies into one. He wanted so much.
So, this is me the entire time I was reading this:
Never been one to complain of sex, but that was just too much, man!
Someone else felt the same? No? Guess I'm a lone island on this one.
I thought it was fine in Helping Hand with Mac and Jez because it was mostly exploring and first-time experiences.
But here, it was more like: SUCK. PREP. THRUST. CUM. REPEAT.
Add in that I really wasn't comfortable with all the money wasting in a span of a few weeks over an escort. I squirmed every time Rupert did this:
In all honesty though, the thing between Josh and Rupert? It grew very tiresome fast. It was like being in an infinite loop with no means of escape.
I dunno. I think having already read Love Starved by Kate Fierro with a more or less similar plot, I can't help but compare. And this book just didn't hold a candle to it.
2.5 stars rounded up at best.
"He’s very affectionate. I don’t know. Sometimes I have to remind myself he’s only a client, not… more.”
“I choose what makes you feel good,” Rupert said. “Just because I’m paying doesn’t mean I don’t want you to enjoy this too. I get off on you getting off. So I want you to tell me what you want… what feels good for you."
Their lives were entwining, and it felt good.
