Mother of two, Jasmine, falls into an early midlife crisis of sorts when her husband leaves her, her bank account freezes, and she loses her job all at once. She meets smooth-talking and sexy Lorenzo, who convinces her to become an escort for his service.
I had a hard time following Jasmine’s motivations, although I did empathize with her rough situation. The narration is very colloquial, which works for the first-person point of view, but unfortunately the book’s numerous editing errors cannot be overlooked. This story has a lot of heart, though, and I would like to share a passage I particularly liked:
“I did a lot of soul search and thought about my decision to become an escort. It was not something that I had to do. It was something that I wanted to do. It was liberating. It made me feel powerful and in control, especially at a time in my life where I had lost a lot. I don’t blame Lorenzo, although I now question his motives. Sometimes, sex and passion and control can give a false sense of love. I thought about it all for a long time locked up in my room. But, I had no
regrets about my decision at all.”
