Book Description:

If you've got it, flaunt it...


Young, ambitious, and pretty damn good-looking, Andrew Collins knows that the workaday world is not enough for him. He wants more than a boring job and a mediocre life. Mostly, though, he wants more money. So when he answers an ad for male escorts, Andrew figures he's just found the perfect way to make a buck -- with a "Sugar Mama." But he soon finds that his older paramour, along with her bizarre and somewhat sinister friends, may be taking him for what looks to be a very bumpy ride with no brakes on board.


Just try not to lose it.


But now that he's finally got the green, Andrew finds himself drawn to the plainest of Janes. She's a no-nonsense, deep-thinking shop assistant who's saddened to see the real Andrew being suffocated under a pile of fancy clothes and flashy frills -- not his type at all. So why can't he stop thinking about her? Maybe because life in the lap of luxury isn't what it seems -- or even what he truly wants? Caught between cold cash and a warm heart, Andrew must figure out what matters most: his love of money, his love of himself, or love, period....

I really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure what so many others have against it, but I liked it. It's refreshing to read about a relationship from the guy's point of view and while yes, the main character is shallow, he's basically a nice guy. Just like Jane says, he is a basically nice guy trying to be an a**hole. And failing. I found him endearing, even if he did do stupid things. Please, send me an e-mail if you've never done anything stupid, or on second thought, don't, because you wouldn't be a very interesting person. I'll definitely read more from this author.
