I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Dani wants to explore her fantasies but doesn’t trust anyone to tell them to or let alone will do with her with no strings attached. She decides to contact escort business called The Agency. Ryan has not had easy life but she made herself successful with owning The Agency when she meets Dani she decides to be the person who will help Dani with her fantasies because she intrigued by them and her. This was a good read but I was kinda baffle why Ryan was intrigue by Dani fantasies which to me was vanilla at best.

After seeing the synopsis I jumped at the chance of reading this book as it reminded me of Meghan O’Brien’s The Night Off, one of my all-time favourites. While it started off with a similar plot, the dynamic between the leads here was completely different and interesting to witness, as the client-agency relationship continued for much of the book. The two leads had great chemistry and the writing was engaging. The plot is one I will remember for a long time. Renee Roman has really developed as an author in her last two books and has become one of a handful of authors that are capable of building up authentic, sizzling chemistry. There were a couple of things about this book that didn’t make sense to me (like why Dani didn’t just go on a dating app or why Ryan was particularly drawn to Dani’s fantasy at the start which seemed pretty vanilla and run-of-the-mill to me). However, good erotica is very rare so it wasn’t very difficult for me to overlook these!

I am sorry to say that I did not like this book. The story seemed too complicated and the end result a bit messy.
It is not that I have found anything morally reprehensible, I already knew that this was a book with sexual content, but even that content has seemed blandly treated.

The main thread is that Dani, a working middle class heterosexual woman, wants to delve into her sexuality and to do so comes into contact with The Agency, an escort service for women owned by Ryan, a woman who has not had an easy life but now she sees how her business is prosperous and allows her to enjoy the best pleasures of life.

But as Dani begins to experiment with the new practices that Ryan proposes to her, the two of them need each other more and more, despite the fact that Dani tries to vary partners in these services and Ryan also tries not to be her. the one who always accompanies Dani when she hires them.

I have not liked the sexual scenes in general, I have found them simple and stereotypical, there is variety, which is logical considering that it is what Dani is looking for, but it is all very basic and even repetitive. And the dependency between Ryan and Dani is also quite superficial and forced in my opinion.

It's not bad, but it's nothing to write home about either.
