The Masseuse (Body Work Trilogy, #1)

by Sierra Kincade

First in the sexy and suspenseful Body Work Trilogy

Anna Rossi lives by one simple rule: don’t get attached, don’t get hurt. But Alec Flynn doesn’t play by the rules…

Anna never takes on a massage client without screening him first, but the paycheck offered by billionaire Maxim Stein is too good to turn down. Stein is the richest man she’s ever laid her hands on, and despite the risks, she trusts that she can take care of herself. After all, she’s handled difficult clients in the past. What she isn’t prepared for is getting caught in a compromising situation by Maxim’s tall, dark, and gorgeous bodyguard—or the desperate desires he awakens in her…

Alec is dangerous. The mysterious, hard-bodied man is completely irresistible and won’t be refused, no matter what walls Anna puts up to protect herself. But as Anna falls fast for his careful ministrations and mind-blowing skills, she begins to realize that giving herself over to a man with so many secrets isn’t just putting her heart at risk—it’s endangering her life…

2.5 stars

I went into this book excited and looking forward to reading it.  I cannot say that I finished it feeling happy and excited.  It was a struggle to even finish it.

I didn't hate it.  It just didn't work for me.  Why didn't it work?  I think the female MC was part of it.  I just didn't care for her all that much, her voice felt a too immature for my taste.  Anna and Alec had great chemistry but there was a lot of back and forth and mistrust between them and almost every time they had an argument, it turned into sex and then everything was better.  Magic sex!

I almost DNF'd this one but I kept trudging through hoping that the end would justify the means.  The ending is HFN (happy for now) and I think I'm ok with that, it is a trilogy after all.  I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want to read the next book.  There is another character- Anna's bff that I might want to read more about.  But reading the synopsis for the next two books, there is no mention of her storyline.  So, I'm not sure I would want to continue the series based on Alec and Anna alone.

Oh well.
