Enjoyed this book
A must read! I went back and forth as to whether Katie should walk away or continue with her interest in Hudson. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. The warning John gives Katie looks really bad for her future. If she were to listen to John's warning where would the story go from there. Kind of makes one wonder what direction Katie' s life would go. And how Hudson would fit in to the picture in the future of would he? Great story so far.

A Very Intriguing Book!
A sweet story that turns a corner when Katie finds out her new love interest is an escort. Will she still want him? Will he still think she’s beautiful and innocent?? Only time will tell and I can’t wait to find out while continuing to read the next book in this compelling series.

I gave this book five stars because it has a very interesting dialogue that drew me in. I see some Crystal in Katie trying to save Hudson like Juda. A good girl trying to save a bad boy but a whole different story line and circumstances.
