LJ’s writing style is fluid
(yes, that too!) and floats from page to page with the sharing of a
fantasy likely many women share. She has created a story so natural that
it all seems perfectly feasible that an ER physician could become a
professional escort.
But before the detail, the story
line: ‘Lilly Peters is a doctor by day and an escort by night. She was
on her own at a very young age and had to put herself through Medical
school, but when her grandmother took ill she needed money for her care.
She had heard through the hospital Intern grapevine about being an
escort for very rich influential men and jumped at the chance. What she
didn’t know was how much she would enjoy having sex for money. She liked
her men to give her gifts… and guess what? They did! Everything was
going at an easy pace when some of the other escorts were roughed up
pretty bad and no one seemed to why. By this time she had changed her
lifestyle from second-rate to first –rate. She loved her luxurious condo
and outstanding wardrobe and the fact that she could pay all her bills
and still have money in the bank. She was financially secure but very
unhappy. As things got worse and one of her favorite lovers was murdered
she had to make a choice. Would she go back to her dream of becoming a
great doctor or choose having sex for money?’
LJ obviously has a great time
writing her short romantic mysteries and she adds enough steam and spice
to make them soar. Grady Harp, October 17
