The heroine: Clara – she was a college student with a very basic scholarship, plus she worked hard to keep food on the table and a roof over the head of both her and her father, until her father used too much of the money from her paychecks at the local bar. When the landlord threatened eviction and there were only two days left, her father left to go couch surfing at a friends’ house, not caring that Clara had nowhere to go.
The Hero: Sebastian – he is from the richest family in the city and is the heir to Thorvald Montgomery. His family lives mostly off of their investments now. Sebastian is wold weary and is pretty much down on falling in love. His only two options are dating within his own social status where the smiles are as fake as the people behind them and only want to use him to get ahead or dating common folk. He has tried that, and they also immediately discover who he is, and they are apt to fake affections for what he can do for them. He also has some kinks, so wants someone who can handle his depravity.
The Story: having nowhere else to go, no money and no leads on finding a place, Clara turned to the classified ads where she found an ad that promised a hundred thousand dollars upfront and every month after that plus room and board. Though she would have to submit completely as a willing vessel to the dark desires of the man that placed the ad. She called Sebastian referencing the ad and he asked for a picture of her and after sending it, he immediately hired her to start the following day.
This book had a pretty good setup, as you can easily see how someone so wealthy could find it hard to find that special someone. Especially how they would get a bit frustrated with the way things were going. Sebastian has some desires that he probably doesn’t want to get out to the general public so a situation like what he is proposing seems like it could happen.
Though I think he could definitely get by very nicely offering much less money. Even $10 or $20K upfront and per month would be more than most girls could make anywhere else. But I suppose to the billionaire of this world, spending $100K is like me spending $100.00. I mean did you ever hear that instagram video about the difference between a million and a billion? A million seconds is 12 days, a billion is 31 years.
Anyway, this is a short read at only about 150 pages, and you can tell from the blurb that this one is going to be a steamy one, so if you want a lot of additional stories along with your smut, you are going to be disappointed. However, if you are in the mood for a story with a lot of smutty goodness, then this is a good one for you. Sebastian and Clara get intimate within minutes of meeting each other and Clara loses her virginity her first night in his house. I do think the ending is a bit too many hearts and roses though.
