Review: Hired (Happy Endings #2) byZoey Castile


For a man who makes his living pleasuring women, what happens when the only pay-out worth having is love?  
Faith Abigail Charles has always done the right thing. So when her mother runs for mayor of New Orleans, Faith puts her law career on hold to help her win. But when tensions run high, Faith trades one kind of heat for another—in the arms of a hard-bodied stranger. He’s everything a woman dreams of in a lover. So much so that her one-night stand turns into two, then three, then four . . .
 
For Aiden Rios, meeting smart, sexy Faith feels like fate. After being ditched by his client in the Big Easy, the high-paid male escort needs a little company himself. Aiden knows he’ll have to come clean about his line of work, and he plans to—right after another taste of Faith’s sweetness—and another and another. . . . Until a chance meeting with his client leaves Aiden exposed—and Faith shocked and hurt. Now the hired hottie must show Faith that the love they share is bigger than the scandal threatening to destroy them . .

Terri's Thoughts

**I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!**

I chose this book as I had read the first in the series and had enjoyed it so I was pretty excited to see how the next story played out.  Sadly I have to say this was a huge disappointment for me.  In fact, I have to say I really disliked this story.

Here is the thing.  When you choose this genre, you go in expecting some hot and heavy sex scenes, they are par for the course.  What you will also expect is some major emotional chemistry between the characters and some sort of plot outside of the steamy scenes.   This story lacked the depth. I found that Faith and Aiden had only physical chemistry and were focused only on this and as a result the story.  I don't mind a good steamy scene or two but this book was only steam.  I honestly found myself rolling my eyes and saying "again, seriously?" There is such a thing as too much.

The good news is that there is a market out there for those who seek only steam and no storyline.  If that is your thing, then this is the perfect book to choose.  I myself prefer a little more connection outside of the physical.
