Title: Contractual

They told me I’d be an escort; they made it sound so easy.
Really I’m just a high priced call girl.
Desperation brought me to this and it led me to him, my one and only client.
Hating him is easy, he reminds me of my shame.
Wanting him is wrong it fills me with guilt.
Loving him is a losing battle yet it’s become everything.
A gift and a curse, he consumes my every thought and I’d rather play my part in
his bed than to spend one day without him.

Wow, this is one very intense read! I was so blown away by the emotional pull in this book. I have read other books that Alice has co-authored with and have always loved her work. I have to say I think she outdid herself on this one. So many times I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh, cry or just slam the book down and run.
When you meet Saga she is just skimming by. She’s worried about making rent and having food to eat. Doing her best to hold on to a job that is not enough to get ahead. When she is at her lowest point, so she thinks things went south in a hurry. When there is no other option she takes a job as an escort. This is where she comes to know Jackson Stone. He is a very rich man who is looking for someone different from who is usually spent his time with. He goes to his long time friend Victoria who runs an escort service.
Victoria sends Saga (Meadow) to Jackson knowing she is just what Jackson wanted except for a few overlooked details. Saga tells her self after meeting Jackson that she will not fall for the attraction she feels for Jackson. He is just a job. Jackson pushes his attraction for Saga away by telling his self that she is just a warm body to enjoy when he feels the need to.
You are going to want to bash these two heads in at times. At times you’re going to love Jackson how caring he is but then he turns and says or does something that you just want to slap him for. Saga is strong, but like all women she has a breaking point and Jackson seems to find just the right buttons to push to break her when he feels like she is getting too close. These two draw you in and keep you wanting more. I’m looking and hoping for more from these two.
Great Job Alice!!
Excerpt
“In gambling, there is always a time when a person has to decide what their
maximum bet will be . . . how much they’re willing to risk for a chance to win it all.
There is no maximum risk when it comes to us—because I don’t consider you a risk.
You dared me once to believe in something, anything. I believe in us, Tara. You and
me. Today. Tomorrow. Forever.” – Maxwell Andrade
