Light-weight erotica. The story itself is kind of funny, with odd touches of realism. A legitimate escort service is being harassed and accused of providing illegal prostitute services. Our protagonists face off against each other, each one pretending to be something they aren't. Misunderstandings abound.
From then on, it's cute, but predictable. Some explicit and highly overwrought sex scenes.
From back cover: This is your lucky night. I just happen to be wearing black silk boxers." That was exactly the kind of confirmation Lydia Carmichael was looking for. Proof positive that the drop-dead gorgeous date provided by Mr. Complete Escort Services was a gigolo. All she had to do was lure that bad boy into her bed and she'd put the slimeballs out of business. But Lydia soon learned she wasn't cut out for this kind of under-the-covers work. Luke was not only hot with a capital H, he was also a considerate, caring man. As she discovered, there was a lot more beneath the surface than his sexy underwear and she found herself wanting to leave her tidy white-cotton life behind. If her secret wishes could come true, their bought-and-paid-for beginning would lead to a happily-ever-after ending that had nothing to do with money and everything to do with love.
Great book!!! First one I have read by Sheridon Smythe and now I am HOOKED. The book is funny and sexy and a great read. Luke owns Mr. Complete, an escort service in Atlanta. Lydia is out to shut him down. After her aunt falls for an escort from his service and is then heartbroken with the hunk skips town, Lydia is convinced that something more along the lines of prostitution is really going on behind the guise of escorting women. When Luke finds out her plans to seduce an escort in an effort to get the proof she needs he can't resist stepping in and being the escort of choice. These two spend the entire book trying to keep their hands off each other and trap each other and all the while they are madly in lust and completely in love. The cast of characters are awesome and you fall in love with every single guy who works for Mr. Complete. Throw in a fiesty 78 year old secretary with plenty of moxy and you have a really funny read. You will laugh out loud over all the antics and stupid stuff these two go through just to get to the truth... that Luke IS what makes Lydia COMPLETE.....
I enjoyed this book because it was so humorous. It is the first of a series, and after reading it, I bought the other two sequels. I liked the author's style of writing, and felt her writing was smooth and sexy.
Cute story w/ a nice ending.
