All the covers for this series are basically the same so all my comments will remain the same as well for each book. I like the cover on this one a lot. Obviously, it is a great representation of the story (and series). It has good composition and title work as well.
So this is one has another scenario that I usually avoid like the plague. The main character is a male escort. I have to be honest though there is just something about the set up of these books that I am LOVING. That said, I didn't love this one as much as I did GREED. It was much darker in tone, and the main character was extremely unlikable. I guess that was sort of the point.
In any case, it was well written and paced. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. There is only one sex scene in the book, and it was NOT in the least sexy (shiver). Again for being such a short book page wise, this had some good depth to the story. The main character although thoroughly unlikable was intriguing none the less. Lastly, I wasn't a huge fan of the way this one ended. It didn't really fit the tone of the rest of the book and was a little too uncomplicated in my opinion.
So a bit of a mixed bag this one but it still gets a solid thumbs up from yours truly.
