Hired

by Zoey Castile

Overview

The do-good daughter of a New Orleans politician finds love—and scandal—in the arms of a male escort in a “romance series that just keeps getting better” (BookPage).
 
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—but then a chance meeting with his client leaves him more exposed than ever. Now the hired hottie must show Faith that the love they share is bigger than the scandal threatening to destroy them.

Editorial Reviews

12/03/2018
In the Big Easy, love is anything but easy, especially when the discontented daughter of a political candidate hooks up with a male stripper turned escort for some no-strings-attached stress relief. Faith Charles is tired of maintaining a pristine public image and living up to her mother’s high expectations, while Aiden Rios wrestles with guilt over his recent bad decisions, which led him to abandon his friends in the Mayhem City dance troupe in favor of a business deal that fell through. What starts as a fling quickly intensifies, both physically and emotionally, but the relationship—and Faith’s mother’s run for mayor of New Orleans—may not survive once Aiden’s most recent client’s identity is revealed. For this second installment of the Happy Endings series, following 2018’s Stripped, Castile turns up the heat, delivering a sizzling, though predictable, romance between two likable partners who fill the needs in each other’s lives. The contrast between Aiden’s Colombian background and Faith’s African-American heritage plays well against the New Orleans locale, which provides both atmosphere and sensuality. However, readers hoping for a more intense sense of risk from a politician’s daughter falling for a sex worker may be disappointed by this generally domestic and cuddly romance.
