Although there is one client who is clearly abusive that has to be dealt with in this, which is another plot line throughout this. The plot was interesting, as Diaz, the detective from the first book, becomes more of a problem in this as she specifically targets the virtue first.įorrest is a prostitute for most of this book, but thankfully that's all off screen. I just think if Rourke hadn't been so resistant for so long, there could have been more room for romance, and the "I love you" at the end would feel more earned than it did. That said, I did enjoy these two together and there was chemistry. I felt as frustrated as Forrest whenever Rourke would cite his "rules" and would "we shouldn't do this" and blah blah blah.
Rourke resisted for like ever, so much so that we really only got two full on penetrative sex scenes between these two and even before that not a ton happened between these two. I think that's what dragged this rating down a little for me. They obviously want each other, but Rourke is resistant to starting something, citing his rules about not sleeping with the prostitutes that work for him.
But by the end of book 1, Forrest is pretty smitten with Rourke, the man that takes over shaping up the Virtue to become a better place that earns more profits. We met Forrest in book 1, as a prostitute at the whorehouse Conall worked at, and who Conall would sleep with from time to time. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one, but it was still good an enjoyable.
When a certain detective is out to bring the Killough Company crashing to the ground, they must work together with Sloan and Conall to make sure it’s her career that goes up in flames instead of the Virtue. Between Rourke’s resistance and Forrest’s determination, the struggle of falling in love is one that both may lose. When Rourke took over, it was lust at first sight. He knew what it felt like to not belong and joining the Virtue as a professional gave him what he always searched for-love, even if it was only from a different man every hour. Falling in love with his highest earning professional isn’t part of his plan.įorrest Brassard grew up in a foster home. So when Sloan asked him to run the Exotic Virtue, he worked his ass off to raise its standards and bring in more influential clientele. After his father doomed their family by betrayal, the only thing that kept them alive was Sloan’s leniency and trust, and Rourke made it his mission to prove to the boss that he’d done the right thing.
