Push
I'm not just a high class escort, I'm a world class escort. My latest client doesn't know who or what I am. I've been hired to take her virginity, give her an heir and steal her heart. I'm getting close. All she needs is just a little PUSH...
I pleasure wealthy women for money, but that's not just between the sheets. I know the best restaurants, the finest in art and music, the perfect wine to order. I'm well read, smart and discrete. So discrete in fact that I've been hired to deflower the daughter of one of the richest noblemen in all of England. That's how I find myself flying first class to London to seduce her.
Lady Rosalie.
She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. And the most innocent. Her religious family has kept her under tight wraps. Now she's of age and feeling a bit rebellious. Who better to take her on the ride of her life than a professional like me? Except I find that when I'm with her, I'm not acting. She makes me want to be bad. But she also makes me want to be good. Good enough for someone like her.
By the time I find out that I've been hired to cause a scandal and shame her, it's too late. But I'm in over my head and so is she. The only way out is to risk it all... I will stop at nothing to make her mine.
PUSH is a stand alone novel with a guaranteed HEA and no cheating!

I do not like to read about hero having sex with other women, so this was a no go from the start, it got worse.
Hero was disgusting, he is a prostitute, who agrees to seduce and impregnate a naive innocent girl. He figures out her cousin/bff is a bitch and setting her up but carries on with the plan, cause he's a selfish ho. Then when the plan is discovered he abandons her and buggers off back home. He stops sleeping with his clients, but the client we see him sexing in the first chapter is still around investing in his restaurant, she knows he's a great cook because he used to make her breakfast in bed, How romantic.
heroine is a naive idiot.

Wowsers...all I can say is get this special edition kindle version now while you can have the bonus Player and Rock Gods books for free (all were 5 star reads for me). I have read at least 10 or more of Joanna Blake's books and they always provide me with a ton of fun, sexy steam and some just good old fashioned (with a sinful twist) romance.
PUSH is like a fairytale that is definitely not for kids but will make you feel like you are reading about a princess in a tower who falls to the ground and is rescued by the very handsome (and roguish) prince...with the forest animals romping about...but of course with a lot of naughty sexy time and dark twists. A lot of fun with some poignant and tender moments.
Grab it at the ridiculously low price of 99 cents and then dive into the bonus books for a delicious taste of some of Blake's other awesome stories!
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.

Couldn't get into it- the moral compass was pushed too far for me. Escort? Don't care. Manwhore? Don't care. Detailed sex with ow? No thanks, but will overlook it if it was before the two met. Getting paid to take a girl's virginity and impregnate her while skipping out of town for money? NOPE! Just too callous. Thought maybe it'd be fine when I read it because I normally like books by Blake, but truly wasn't for me. Does not mean others won't like it.

Sometimes what Rosie wants Rosie gets, "so... be friendly." I groaned and yanked her into my arms. I couldn't stop kissing her, touching her. My hands were everywhere. I was wild. Hungry. Desperate." I liked that Nick would try to make situations funny to ease his woman, "what? You think I can't handle a little puke?" She giggled. I sat down beside her. "You look particularly beautiful while vomiting." Although short this book was a great read.

There were many buttons to push (no pun intended) in this book, but I looked past them all to the story and it was ok. What was NOT OK is that these stories are SHORT and there were, once again, two ADDITIONAL stories in the book. I need to read the descriptions more carefully in future.

Reformed man whore.... Okay, I hear you. But I off put by how naive the protagonist was. At twenty-something no matter how sheltered you are at some point you have to know about safe sex.
It's okay but didn’t like the book all that much. However, the characters were borderline from unlikable to a few exceptions the plot was a bit poor. The writing was poor at worst and bad at best. I developed some interest in the book but not enough to sustain me. If part of a series, at least one thing peeked my interest to continue. Even though the plot was uninteresting, not original or unique in any way and contained an overload of pretense, the romance was a little better but the romance was still flawed. The male/female lead was possibly abusive, verbal/physical or both, boring, or had no to very little chemistry with love interest, etc. Everything was too easily predictable. Overall, ok maybe some redeeming value!

This one was a good book, easy to read and quite short. What really kept me reading was the reason/the goal.... And I also like the selfless girl. young, newbie but not a teenager. Old enough just well sheltered or lack of experiences. The love was also sincere. What I didn't enjoy was the morsl turmoil. I don't care for the escort job and that he enjoyed it. but I don't like the plot, the extra gift. why would he be okay with that ending? thinking back he didn't want that bonus but he caught up with being with her that he forgot? it seemed to be like that.

It was not the book I'd hoped it would be. Insta-love after one weekend of deflowering the virgin, total eye roll.
The writing wasn't awful, but if the characters were fleshed out more... I just hate stories where characters base their love solely on sexual encounters and lust at first sight. It's tacky. Plus, the man-whore and the virgin is a story that is a bit overplayed.
I really need to find good romances; they seem to be dwindling.

Nico is hired to steal Rosie's virginity. What he soon realized is that he is falling for her. She makes him feel things that no one else can. I really enjoyed this book

This is one of the best Joanna Blake books that she has put out. I fell in love with Nico and I didn’t think I would like him at first. He was such a manwhore in the beginning but by the end, he WAS truly a true book boyfriend—and I need one of him. Oh and Rosalie, such a flower waiting for the light to shine on her and “open” her up and that light is Nico.
What is different in this story is the telling and the spin. Normally the guy is the life of the party when deep down there is something that needs to be fixed in him by the heroine. In this book we find it’s a mixed bag for both. They both are struggling and they are both in pain, each in their own ways. Nico was hired to do a special job, one only a hot, sexy, cute boytoy like him knows how to do. He is hired for an insanely large amount of money to come over to English and get very close with Rosalie.. and he is to make sure to deprive her of something of hers which is priceless today but to Rosalie, she values very much and oh, to embarrass her and pretty much ruin her name. Nico was all ok with that , which there were reasons—and for those you MUST read this book…but when Nico got to know this sweet and shy lady, he found his heart being pulled under and away. As they are slowly developing a relationship, to which they are both falling in love, things are happening behind the scenes to undermine the young lovers—See, when Nico took this job, he took it knowing their was an endgame and it was to hurt Rosalie ---see she is a royal virgin and the person who set this up has an agenda and “they” brought Nico over to rid Rosalie of her virginity and of more. We get to see what drew Nico to Rosalie- she was just going thru her life until she met him and then BOOM, her life took on new meaning and she came alive. There are twists and turns , especially of the emotional kind. I loved how we see Rosalie grow.. oh but my heart did hurt for her. I had my tissues handy --Nico went from being this jerk to a man who knew what and WHO he needed. The boy grew to a real man in this story and did it in such a beautiful way. I loved the supporting cast of characters and the places shown were awesome. Joanna Blake did it again, she knows how to write such wonderful stories that grab you and wont let go. Kudos for a great job.
My review: 4.8 stars ****

This is one of many Joanna Blake books that I have read. I am not really big on books about male escorts but knowing it was written by Joanna Blake, I wanted to get in on the action. As in her past books Nico and Rosalie are full of steam during their many sessions and hearts that get entangled. She gave this story a much different spin than her other stories that I have read, I love how she is always trying something different and showing her range of creative talent.
Nico is a rock hard, muscles bulging, male escort that does what he has to to get the job done and leave his clients satisfied. When he is offered a large sum of money to deflower a royal virgin in England, he is on the first plane there intrigued to find out the specifics about the job. Once he meets the beautiful, doe eyed, young Rosalie, he knows that she will mean much more than just a fun time while on the job. As he begins his seduction he has no idea how to stop Rosalie from stealing his heart or how to prevent from breaking hers in the process.
Rosalie is muddling through life going through the motions that are required of a royal, the only reason she is sane is because of her loving dogs and the charities that she helps. When she meets Nico who she believes was introduced to help with her charity to help the bees, she is immediately drawn to him. Little does she know that he was sent there to seduce her body but he is also doing a number on her heart. The pleasure and love that Nico gives her is unlike any that she has ever experienced.
Joanna Blake brings across the ocean to join the royal family and participate in Nico's sticky, sweet, seduction. Push is a sexy, heartfelt romance that tells a story of love blossoming in a forbidden, scandalous way.

i thought i had never read a book from this author before and apparently i did read Grind before. so when i was suggested this book i figured what the hell let me give it a try.
i have to say i don't really like books where the Hero is an escort and the story starts off with a sex scene between the hero and a client ( that is very detailed) but once you get past it the book actually gets better.
i have read other reviews about the plot of the story but i am going to be one of those people who says it fucking worked and i loved it. what i loved about Nico was that he was relentless in his pursuit of Lady Rosalie.I loved that he pushed to get Lady Rosalie out of her shell and once she was out boy was i surprised of the woman she truly was and i cheered for her.
what i also liked was the clear warning miss Blake gives in the beginning of the book it is clearly stated NO CHEATING! i have read other escort books where there is some cheating but definitely not in this book.
the fact that some reviewers found it disgusting that he was an escort let's remember this was prior to Nico meeting Lady Rosalie. during his pursuit even though the way he did it was in a way wrong he still fell in love and didn't care about no one else but her there was no cheating. i liked both characters although they could have used a little bit more of character development and background story.
i still liked that it was a fast read and you felt the chemistry both hero and heroine had for each other and that is all i look for in a story. CHEMISTRY!! and boy did they have it! and the steamy scenes!! shit!! they were definitely hot! I definitely became a fan of Joanna Blake's work and went on to read Player and her Rock Gods Series!! loved it!!

This was a nice fluffy, sexy escape from reality. It had A LOT of steamy moments, plenty of swoon & some pretty darn big secrets & lies.
Nicholas aka Nico aka Nick (really wish he didn't go by so many names) was very likable, even if I wanted to junk punch him for accepting & "completing" the job offered to him by Rebecca. I was happy that what he felt for Rosalie was genuine from the moment he met her but, of course, wish he would've been truthful with her from that moment on. LOVED that he wanted to better himself before he reconnected with Rosalie but wish it wouldn't have felt like he left her without any sort of explanation. BUT... gotta love a man that'll uproot himself & will shovel goat poop alongside you. Hahaha.
Rosalie aka Rosie was sweet, kind and NOT a doormat... which I LOVED. Her happily ditching her royal family, her eagerness to learn everything sexual from Nicholas & the joy she found while working with goats & bees were just a couple of the reasons why I liked her. I was impressed with the way she handled the fallout & relieved that she didn't push Nicholas away or run from him like so many heroines do nowadays.
I really enjoyed their HEA & the fact that it didn't feel all WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU MA'AM. It was beautiful.
But oooh, that damn Rebecca... What a skank! I wanted to pop her in the boob like mad!! Very happy that she ended up the loser & that EVERYONE in the world knew about it.
Looking forward to reading more bad boy books by Joanna Blake! Player is up next for me!!

I am seriously becoming addicted to this authours and her books - one comes out and I am like Pavlov's dog, off to buy and read. The best part, she has yet to disappointment me in any way, shape or form!
This round has an escort, he is pretty much of the same mind as previous leading men, kinda a slut, but self-aware of that fact. Extremely knowledgeable of the ladies, and doing what he is going to make a better life for him and those around him. Then, he meets the one, the sweetest, innocent, perfect woman for himself, and despite why and who he is or she is, he has to have her
Everything goes to pot, because even after she knows who and what he is, she still wants him, but he knows he is no good and goes. She stretches out her wings, he realizes his mistake, and then he has to win her back. He does, in spectacular fashion, and then makes sure she has everything she ever wanted
Sweet and super sexy, loving and emotional, and just the right length, with bonus stories included!

Nicholas is an in demand escort, and he's just been offered his biggest client yet. Rebecca has brought him from America to England to seduce her nerdy cousin Rosalie. When he meets Rebecca for the first time his skin crawls, there's something not quiet right, and when she offers him a $50,000 bonus to expand on the seduction alarm bells go off. Rosalie is sweet and loves to help out every cause she can, but she's not comfortable in her role in the family, but when she meets her cousins friend Nicholas, she is more than happy to turn her back on her family for the man she's surely falling in love with. As their relationship grows, Nicks guilt eats him alive, until he can't hold back and tells her the truth. Despite that he ends it Rebecca still goes ahead with her threat and destroys Rosalie's reputation.
In different parts of the world, Nick tries to make it right.
It was a beautiful story of acceptance and trust, and sadly that blood isn't always thicker than water. A lovely heartfelt story.

Somehow author Joanna Blake made escort Nicholas into a sympathetic character. This book starts out raunchy with ole Nick just doing his job, but he comes off as a decent sort (pun intended). He is headed to England to work for a very big paycheck and the extreme circumstances don't seem to give him any pause. This callousness is discomfiting and the downside of this book. Oddly, though, there is a sweetness about Nicholas that can't be denied. Of course, Rosalie already has us headed into sugar shock. I think I kept reading because I was curious to see how the HEA would twist out of the hurricane of this doomed romance.
This book will appeal to erotica readers who like to see the unrepentant manwhore, which is not a euphemism in this circumstance, reformed into a romantic sap. Under Nick's tutelage, Rosalie quickly becomes quite experienced. This book is improbable, unbelievable, salacious and surprisingly amiable.

Really a 2.5 star rating
So these books aren't bad if you read them one at a time with a few weeks or a month in between in book. They all generally have the same plot and all the girls have the same general character. They all have some hard past that makes them bitter and not trust men yet then they move incredibly fast sexually with the male main character who is cocky yet changes for the woman. Oh also all the women are vegetarians.
They are good but also end very abruptly. They end right when you really start investing in the characters and when you want to see more of what happens with their lives.
I know books don't have to be realistic but if she took things a little slower with the timing of when the characters had sex and when they stories end I would be more inclined to rate higher.

Given an ARC for an honest review! Joanna Blake gave me a read that is fun, hot, enjoyable and as always has beautiful characters. Twists and turns, betrayal, deceit and a story line that makes it heart melting. Nico is a male escort and is hot as hell. Rosie is the good girl that wants to make her own decisions. These two are lovable and fun. This is a fabulous read and not only do you get PUSH but you get bonus books. Yes, I said bonus books. I love Joanna Blake and all that she brings to the table with each and every read. Highly recommend!!!! There nothing else left to say but to go one click!

Nicholas is a gigolo who is hired to “deflower” ruin an English heiress by her vengeful cousin. He totally falls for her as fast as she falls for him and instantly regrets what he is doing. He comes clean with Rosie who takes the news pretty well but leaves town and her family behind before they try to marry her off for money. He goes back to America and gives up that lifestyle and starts a food business. After she reads his side of the story in the tabloids and the fact that he says he still loves her she contacts him. She is expecting and he comes to Spain and they start their new lives there.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I love this author's work, so when I heard she had another book coming out, I quickly offered to read it.
This book is not your typical live story. It follows Nico, a male escort, as he gets hired by Rebecca to help "deflower" her naive and innocent cousin, Rosie. He takes the job, of course, not knowing that he would fall for her along the way. Though not your "rainbows and sunshine" love story, in the end, it still is a love story even though it is mixed in with everything else that the characters go through to be together.
Another great book by this author, and I can't wait to read Joanna's next book.

I had a hard time putting this book down. I believe escorting is a profession. Is it frowned upon? Yes, but look at it through their eyes. They have to make money & for whatever reason fell into this particular job. Some escorts are able to change into more acceptable professions but not all can. Some are paid well & take care of themselves properly. So always be aware that not everyone has the perfect job. Also trying to force old traditions on the younger generation doesn't always work.

Ok so I was kind of shocked by the opening chapter. He sounded charming...Not! I would have given 4 stars but there were more than a few times where scenes were described differently ie at the cottage her taking her top & bra off whilst going down on him then when they were on kitchen island bench it described the bed and bench top. I guess the editing wasn't done very well.
I also felt like it was rushed in ways too. This was my first Joanna Blake book will try another as i did enjoy her style of writing

Ok book with weak H and h
Just love descriptive scenes with OW. NOT!!
This book was ok. I did start off irritated with the very first page, which I think was a horrible way to start off the book. But I got over it. Both Rosie and Nico were mediocre, uninteresting characters. This book was mostly sex, very descriptive. Everything seemed wrapped up to easily. It was cheesy instalove and a hea that was just too smooth. Heck, Rosalie didn't even really get mad at Nico or make him work to get her back. She just said she was grateful he wanted to be in her life. Smh
