4.5 holy crap I've gotta read the next book stars :) So I started this series because I wanted to read at least one book from each of the authors at the Sydney Author Event but wow did I find myself a gem with TJ Hamilton.I loved the start to this series. At every turn I thought I knew what would happen but then it turns out I had no idea. I loved that. The story is full of action & emotion & I've been totally left wanting more. I'll be sinking my teeth into Making Thyme as soon as I finish typing this :) So where to begin when it comes to this book, it was well written and Hamilton did an excellent job at giving a description of the characters and giving you a detailed background on the characters. Miranda is a high paid escort and works for an agency in Sydney, Australia. She has several regular clients which includes a man named Joe Tench, whose profession is the head of Sydney's Most Organized Crime Gang. Miranda lived a good life and lifestyle when she was younger but when her father died it all changed and her mother lost all of their money. Miranda like any normal person would have to do to survive, finds a job to make ends meet even though it’s not a regular job. Miranda is a character that I would describe as someone who perseveres and is independent. Even though I didn’t like the fact that Miranda has sex with clients for money she has to strive to help herself in some way and all you can do is admire that. Let’s talk about the 2 main men in this book, can we say that Hamilton gave us a visual for some eye candy. Joe Tench the mobster, realizes that things are worth living for and also comes to the realization that he has feelings for Miranda (Mia). He hires her to come over for 2 days and treats her in my opinion as a princess. After Miranda leaves and takes some time off, something happens and when she comes back he is a total Jerk. Now the other Man, I would have to say he is by far my favorite, and he's SEXY. He claims to be a client that wants Miranda but really he is an undercover agent he goes by Tom Slythe at first. He is trying to get Tench and feels that he needs to get someone who is close to him and that one person is Miranda. Miranda goes through the struggle of having feelings for her clients which she doesn’t understand and I can understand what she sees in each man. Joe Tench is the wealthy, dangerous, hot body, and good looking man who treats her decent. Tom Slythe is sweet, sexy, and someone Miranda (Mia) can be herself around. She has a few struggles and things come to light but in the end I think Miranda (Mia) is finding out who to trust and what feelings are real. I am very intrigued to read the rest of the authors story. Oh wait, let’s talk about the sex scenes in this book, detailed and its gets HOT. The series has 2 more books and I am ready to read them. Great job Hamilton!
