BOOK REVIEW: BOYFRIEND FOR HIRE BY KENDALL RYAN

Hello everyone and Happy April! For today's post i am back with another book review post, as i had mentioned in my previous review post that i wanted to go further into detail about the books that i have been reading. If you didn't catch my first book review talking all things the Gentleman Sinner by one of my favourite authors Jodi Ellen Malpas, then you can catch that here, but for today's review i am sharing my thoughts on a new release from another of my favourite authors and one of the books to be ticked off my books i want to read this spring list...


SYNOPSIS:
I’m the guy you call when you need to impress your overbearing family, your boss, or your ex. Yeah, i’m a male escort, but not just any escort, i’m the escort. The one with a mile-long waiting list and a pristine reputation that’s very well-deserved. I’m the guy who’ll make you feel beautiful, desired, and worshipped...all for a steep price. I’m hired to make you shine, and i always deliver. I’ll be whatever you want me to be for one night, except my true self. This is just a job, a role i play to earn a paycheck. But i’m not the guy who falls for a client. Not once in six years and then i meet Elle. Her friend has hired me to escort her to a wedding, but Elle doesn’t know we’re just pretending. There’s a fire between us I never expected. A connection I haven’t felt in so long. One kiss, and I’m losing all control but what will happen when she finds out who I really am?

MY REVIEW:
As i mentioned in the intro to this post, Kendall Ryan is in fact another one of my favourite authors. I actually only discovered her books by chance last year and i fell for the style of her writing, as well as the gripping story lines of course. Kendall has a few new books due to be released as well as a few new and already released books this year, which i always say her books are the perfect Kindle download reads as if you were to pick every single one up on paperback you would run out of room for sure. 

What i like about this book is you get the story from the two main characters Elle and Nic's point of view, so you are rarely left wondering what the other person is thinking/feeling as it alternated each chapter. So the book starts off with Nic and a little bit about his carer which lets face it, being a male escort isn't usually the line of work that lands you relationships. That being said he is the whole package, confident, a gentleman and considering his job, he actually wants the happy ever after story. Even though Nic is a male escort i like how he had personal rules (like no kissing on the mouth) - which totally gave me pretty woman vibes, as he wanted to save that for someone he truly loved. Elle on the other hand is your typical good girl, who's confidence has take a huge knock thanks to her idiot of an ex-boyfriend (who i am glad only featured at the wedding, as i hated him instantly and if i was Nic i would of punched him). You could honestly feel the chemistry between Nic and Elle jump off of the page, as soon as they met each other. This made Nic not have to role-play like he thought he would, as it just came natural to him yet he struggled with keeping his own rules un-broken.

During the book and the Epilogue we got to know a little bit about Case, who is/was Nic's boss and fellow escort. During the Epilogue Nic mentioned that he thought something was not quite right with Case, which was an opening for the next release by Kendall called The Hookup Handbook and one of the next books on my to read list.

Overall i give the book a 4 out of 5, mainly because i feel like there could of been a little bit more of a build up/drama to the forgiving/making up before the end.
