Guilty Pleasures: Nothing Is As Good As it Seems

by Marsha Casper Cook

Doctors have hard choices to make and sometimes their own personal lives get in the way which is why Lilly Peters became an Escort. She was on her own at a very young age and had put herself through medical school, but when her grandmother took ill, she needed quite a bit of money for her care. She had heard through the hospital Intern grapevine about being an escort for wealthy influential men and jumped at the chance.

She became a tremendous asset to her escort service, Guilty Pleasures, and she had very rich men at her beck and call, and she loved it. Besides making more money than she could have imagined her male partners gave her expensive gifts that she couldn’t possibly turn down. When her career choice was in jeopardy, she couldn’t stop.

Note: I'll preface my comments by stating that had I read this book instead of listening, my rating and comments may have been different.

A young medical resident who lives in Chicago and turns into the escort business to make ends meet. She is also responsible for her grandmother's care and needs the extra finances.
The premise was full of potential. However, I could not manage to get into the story until the last hour of the listen.

The first 45 minutes was the setup and added little value for me to the story. What should have been thrilling and intriguing, the 3 escorts being mutilated and a couple of murders, was mentioned with little fanfare. I think the story lacked the necessary tension to make this sexy or intriguing. Elizabeth's character was the most interesting and her downfall was delicious, but the delivery dampened both.

My less than enthusiastic interest was due in large part to the narration. While the narrator's voice was soothing and clear, it was not the best choice for a tale that needed to be sexy and intriguing. I also found it odd that it was set in Chicago and all were Chicago natives presumably, but the narration was delivered with an English accent that caused me to lose focus. The right narrator can make or break a book.

Anything for love and family

A beautiful quick read. Well written story about love, family , and control of your life. Truly enjoyed how Lilly made her money to support her grandma and herself. Maybe not the best way to make up the difference, but she definitely cared for her grandmother. Worth the quick read.
