She hired him to take her virginity...but now she wants even more.

Lori might be a popular romance writer, but she's never been anything but a flop with sex and love in her personal life. Still a virgin at twenty-six and increasingly frustrated by her inexperience, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She hires a talented, sexy male escort to take care of her inconvenient virginity.

She assumes one time with Ander will be enough, but she never dreams how much pleasure he can make her feel. Once isn't nearly enough. Twice isn't enough either. Soon, she becomes one of his regular clients. Lori knows that nothing would be as foolish as falling in love with her paid escort, but she's never been wise with her heart.

And, despite his professionalism, he doesn't seem entirely immune either.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Claire has been writing romance novels since she was twelve years old. After teaching English at the university level for several years, she started writing full-time under two different pen names. She lives in Virginia.

Her early books are sexy contemporary romances filled with heat and real emotion, but with the Hold series she transitioned to science fiction romance. Her current books are steamy post-apocalyptic romance set in the near future after a global catastrophe. They feature smart, resilient women trying to survive in a new chaotic world and falling in love with strong, gruff, taciturn men.

Claire also writes softer contemporary romances as Noelle Adams.

"I'm just a gigolo......"

I flipping loved, loved, loved this book. I got it as an Amazon freebie, ratings were mixed, a friend texted me she knew I'd love it- SHE WAS RIGHT.

On the surface, it kinda sounds cheesy. Professional romance author/virgin hires hot gigolo to take away her virginity she can't seem to lose. They get together, sparks fly....blah blah. This book was a fantastic ride of emotions. It was more than a fluffy read. I loved this guy. His name was Ander (short for Alexander) and he's the son of an arrogant wealthy CEO in town. When Ander decides he doesn't want to go down the same career path as Daddy-O, he's disinherited. Ander starts escorting...which really pisses Dad off. Deep down, Ander has overwhelming feelings of worthlessness, never has fell in love....just goes through the motions.....until Lori hires him. She's as awkward and nervous as all get out on their first "date.". He's as patient as can be and nurtures her gradually into a fulfilling sexual relationship. One hot night turns to weekly appointments.

What I loved about this book was the more realistic nature of it. It wasn't some "instant love" stuff. Ander held back for most of the book. I didn't even really know his true feelings. We just kept getting glimpses of something growing with him. Lori's feelings grow almost immediately, he is the one who took her virginity, after all. The sex in this book is almost constant. Usually that bores me to tears but its within "their story" and how it evolves to more than sex.....

All I can say is I loved it. It was steamy but SO ROMANTIC. It's a slow build and even after things get out in the open between them, it's pretty realistic how things play out longer term. I liked that. It's like "hey, this could almost happen." There was chemistry, humor, drama....everything to make it a five star read.

At the risk of comparing books, if you read Damaged Goods (another escort book) and you liked it, you will love this one ( in my biased opinion).

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 1/2 strong stars for a semi-erotic, but had a bit of depth book. very enjoyable to read

Lori is a 26 year old virgin that decides to embark on 'losing' it by employing a male prostitute.
Ander is said prostitute. Interesting description, he's sexy, and bald, almost everywhere. Love the description of how sexy he makes being bald.

This story is super simple, 26 year old girl (successful romance author) and broken, vulnerable, yet super capable in the bed, boy - they meet and fall in love.
Sound simple? But this author does a great job of describing how Lori breaks through Ander's walls that he put up to protect himself. You feel his pain and agony, although he rarely shows it.Brief descriptions of the fleeting pain in his eyes, or the tense, struggling moments she witnesses when he's in the bathroom disposing of a used condom. (okay, it sounds gross on this page, but in context, it works).

This book could be read strictly for the amount of sexual content (wow, there is a lot and it is described in great detail. but thankfully no weird S&M nor is it raunchy). But reading how Lori can see Ander for the person that he is, and not a sex object- it makes this book so much more endearing. She is a bit of a goof; but it totally works. She blurts out things that hurt him sometimes, but you realize that she is completely honest and open with him, and wishes for him to do the same.

You can see how he struggles to be her friend, to do things that don't revolve around sex, or in bed, how he would like to do things that feel good for him; not just for her. Sometimes his need to be loved just for himself belies his age - which is 7 years older than Lori.

The book has a scene with Ander's father (the reason for his broken state) and it gets your blood boiling. But there is little after that.
I certainly wouldn't expect a reconciliation b/w them; that would not work because the dad is such THE villain. But it would have been helpful to read more about how Ander was feeling (beyond, I hate him); and get greater glimpses of what his childhood was like. What greater emotions he was feeling when he decided to become a prostitute.

The author does a wonderful job describing Lori's first sexual encounter with Ander. You realize that he is a professional. This is not a self-destructive situation for him. It's business. It's almost clinical in the description. Not romantic at all. This made the situation so believable and you are completely engrossed in it.

Slowly as we witness Ander falling for Lori - the book wraps you up in their relationship. No weird angst, no high drama, no big misunderstandings. There is jealously that pops up, but both characters deal with it in an honest and true fashion. There are some pretty surprisingly funny scenes that add some needed levity in various parts of the book.

For me, what would make this a 5 star book, would be fewer sex scenes (wow - did I really say that??) and more depth in the characters. More about how they were as a couple after he 'retires'. Being in a relationship with a former prostitute can't be easy. Also, how Ander can get out from under his father's shadow, deal more with what he's does with his life. The book does a great job of showing just how smart Ander is- he's no dummy; but let's see more of it outside of his apartment.

This book has no cliffhangers. Has a nice epilogue as well.
The storyline, characters and steaminess made this book a very fun read.

Enjoy!

This book will work for those of us who are hopeless romantics and believe that love can happen to anyone and anywhere. For those who love the Pretty Woman and The Wedding Date line, will love this book. For those of you who want to relate in real life, this book is probably not for you. I got this book as a free book from Amazon and I have to say, I was extremely impressed. Not only was this book well written, characters well developed, but the book was exciting and steamy in a good way! Lori was a successful romance book writer, but despite writing about romance, her love life was completely non-existent. She was still a virgin at 26 and just simply wanted to get that aspect over with in her life. She asks her cousin for some help and her cousin refers her to the most recommended escort. Lori decides to give it a try and hires Ander. The first time she met Ander, she was attracted to him, not just physically, but there was something about him that intrigued her.

As expected, her first encounter with him was phenomenal and she soon finds herself addicted to him. Ander is a complex character. Despite his profession, he seemed to have different things going on in his life and had personal issues. Even though these two people were opposites, I really loved their relationship together. Obviously, there is a lot of sex and steamy scenes, but they were all so well written it was fantastic. Not only does this book have a story line, it also provides nice character development and plenty of romance.

This book was totally worth it, even though I got it for free! If you are looking for something you can relate to, then this book is not for you. If you are just looking to find a swoon worthy romance book and believe in fairy tales, then this book is definitely for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Woman has nothing on this story!
Reviewed in Germany on October 21, 2022

Pretty Woman has nothing on this story! The story of Lorie and Ander is about being real, respecting someone else without judgement on the basis of their profession and dealing with realistic issues, which includes sex. Lorie starts out as a virgin and Ander is a male escort whom she selects to finally get rid of that embarrassing detail.

What was supposed to be a single engagement turns into several. Anders teaches her the ropes about sex in the most patient and sensitive way.

But he isn't the knight in shining armour. He has his own issues to deal with. Both MCs have their own insecurities to deal with and their professional relationship as service provider and client turns into an unlikely friendship over the course of time.

I won't go into more detail so as not to spoilt the many twists and surprises but I'd really like to recommend this book in particular to anyone who loves realistic characters with depth. The steam is definitely there but if you expect an erotic novel with BDSM, let me tell you, it's nothing like that. It's real, raw, unfiltered, sensitive and emotional. And so much more besides. I loved this story and its characters and I think, so will you.

Title: Escorted
Author: Claire Kent
Genre: Erotic fiction/ Romance
Rating: *****
Review: The opening to Escorted was great we meet Lori was is a famous romance novelist who is still a virgin and decides to hire a escort named Ander to take care of her problem. When they meet properly for the first time the character's reactions are perfect; Lori is tense and extremely anxious about is going to happen as a virgin would be while Ander is completely at ease and does everything he can to help Lori relax. The first sex scene we see isn't a full scene as it is in most erotic fiction but rather Ander talks and guides Lori through her first experience of oral sex and orgasm.
As we approach the 1/4 mark in the novel the first full sex scene between Lori and Ander was amazing. He makes her feel so at ease in his presence and because Lori isn't going by her fantasies because she wants real the entire scene feels real. We the readers almost feel like a voyeur looking in on this most intimate scenes. We also learn in addition to Ander being Lori`s first she is also the first virgin he has been with. Lori is so fascinated and attracted to Ander that she quickly sets up a third meeting within a month of meeting him. I loved both Lori and Ander as their personalities just perfectly contrast one another. Lori takes the role of student as sex is a completely new thing to her while Ander who is far more experienced takes the role of teacher. Her naturally nervous disposition also compliments his very frank nature.
As we cross the 1/4 mark in the novel Lori and Ander are seeing each other on a semi regular basis and Lori is becoming interested in getting to know Ander as a person rather than just in the bedroom. We also learn that Ander enjoys reading Lori`s novels although he doesn't know this as Lori writes under a pen name. I liked this slow, gradual build up of their relationship but we are always left with the question of whether it can go anyway. We see Lori developing some feelings towards Ander but she is also entering the dating world and has arranged a dinner date with a fellow author.
As we approach the half way mark in the novel Lori ends her professional relationship with Ander to work on a personal relationship with her boyfriend Phil but we the reader feel that both Lori and Ander are backing away from the relationship because they are developing romantic feelings for each other despite their denial. After some deliberation and getting dumped Lori decides to schedule an appointment with Ander and after their hiatus we see them open up and begin to truly relax together. Ander even goes as far as saying that he has been cutting back on clients and I suspect it is because he wants to spend more time with Lori.
As we cross into the second half of the novel we see Lori and Ander spend a weekend together were their relationship gets far more intimate as Ander pleasures Lori orally without protection because he trusts her and Lori voicing her desire for Ander to not hold back vocally in bed. We also see them sort of admit their want for without actually voicing it and with some investigation Lori finds out who Ander actually is and it doesn't really seem to phase her at all.
As we approach the 3/4 mark in the novel we see Lori and Ander cross the unspoken line after a very emotional run in with Anders father and it here that Lori finally admits to herself that she is madly in love with Ander. Rather than accepting this Lori withdraws and stops using Anders services because she crossed the line and I admired this because she completely disregards her own feelings and redirects what Ander told her in the beginning that he would terminate his professional relationship with anyone who crossed the line like she did although she did it at Anders request. We know Ander probably feels the same way because at one point he forgets to put a condom on which he has never done but we can see Lori is blind to hire Ander feels about herand he would need to tell her vocally in order for her to be comfortable with it.
As we cross into the final section of the novel things move at an astounding pace Lori and Ander build an tentative friendship after the breakdown of their professional relationship. Lori seems determined to not pursue a relationship with Ander until he retires from the escort business. Unknown to her Ander had already retired as we pursue an education for a new career and when she finds out the floodgates open. They begin a relationship which is completely new territory for both of them but we have literally been begging for this for the majority of the novel. The final pages of this novel were perfect with Lori and Ander finally voicing the emotions the both of them had been feeling for months and the epilogue was just be divine.
Overall, I thought this novel was the perfectly balance between erotica and contemporary romance. I highly recommend this book to fans of either genres or just looking for something different and heart warming to read.

Tra loro le cose sono molto professionali e Lory lo apprezza molto, tanto che decide di continuare a vederlo, per evitare frustrazioni sessuali. Tutto sembra procedere per il meglio, fino a quando lei capisce di provare qualcosa di diverso nei suoi confronti e non riesce a capire se la stessa cosa vale per Ander.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nicely handled romance about an interesting topic
Reviewed in Australia on September 23, 2018

I thought this was a really well done book about an interesting topic. Lori Addison has become a successful romance writer and has hit the big time, but at the age of twenty-six she finds herself still a virgin and wants to have sex, so after her cousin finds out about an escort who works on referrals only, Lori books him for an appointment.

(Alex)Ander Lourdes meets her at a hotel and he’s the perfect choice. He’s almost a decade older, has been escorting for about ten years, and is highly professional. He lets her take the lead for the whole encounter, and brings along an erotic movie for them to watch. When he notices how nervous she is, he does all the right things to relax her. They don’t have full sex the first time, but Lori enjoys the encounter – and Ander – so much she books him for another session.

They spend a couple of months meeting regularly, and as Lori gets to know Ander she finds him intriguing. He’s intelligent, well-read, and charming… but she wants to know all his secrets. When she has to go to Quebec for a writer’s conference, she books him for the weekend and they have a wonderful time away.

Lori starts dating a fellow writer and ends her sessions with Ander to make a go of it, but finds herself missing Ander a lot. When the relationship goes south, she contacts Ander again and they pick up where they left off. They start to open up about their personal lives, and then Lori finds out Ander has worked out who she is (she writes under a pseudonym). He’s already admitted to reading her alter ego’s books, and she’s a bit worried about his reaction – for no reason, as it turns out.

In turn, Lori finds herself unable to resist researching Ander; he’s told her snippets about his personal life, and she finds out his father is known in the community. There’s confrontations as their lives become more intertwined. Lori finds out that Ander has told other clients he’s retired, and eventually learns she’s the only one he has left.

Lori ends their professional relationship for good when she realises she’s fallen for him, and they decide to try and make a friendship work. Over the next couple of months, they do just that, until they admit they want more and their friendship becomes romantic.

This could have been poorly handled in a less capable writer, but this author did a really great job of describing Lori and Ander’s continually evolving relationship. I liked that they didn’t just fall in love straight away, that there were boundaries set and followed. The whole book was from Lori’s point of view, but the glimpses you got of Ander were very nicely done. I believed in their romance and was intrigued enough to keep reading to find out what happened. I also found it very interesting that Ander was completely bald due to a genetic condition; you don’t see that much. There were a few minor quibbles – they used each other’s names far too often, especially Ander, and Lori was a bit snotty in a few scenes – but overall, this book is definitely worth reading.

Esta autora es una de mis favoritas pero no cuando escribe bajo el pseudónimo de Claire...
Aunque la historia era nueva para mí (es mi primer libro sobre un "acompañante masculino") no conseguí conectar con la protagonista, las escenas de sexo tampoco me llegaban (spoiler: con tanta descripción por parte de ella de lo que iba ocurriendo, lo que iba a ocurrir y como iba a ocurrir, lo "sexy" se perdió por el camino, y la convierten en una persona muy, muy fría...casi calculadora.Fin spoiler)
Con lo cual el romance llega muyyyyy tarde...y es imposible conectar con él.
