Review: Lady in Red by Mel Teshco

Synopsis:

Bullied and battered as a child, Kate Matthews grows up and transforms herself into beautiful and confident, Brandy Alexander, a sexy, high-class call girl. With a select number of rich and successful clients and a jaw dropping income, Kate feels like she’s living her dream being desired and bedded by some of Australia’s most powerful and influential men. But she has one rule. Don’t fall in love. Except the more time she spends with her favorite client Blaine Waymann, the more she fears he might be the one man who could topple the perfect world she’s built.

Billionaire philanthropist Blaine Waymann is determined to break Kate’s rule. He wants exclusive rights to Brandy and Kate, in bed and out, and is willing to risk everything to win her body and her trust. But when Kate starts opening her heart to Blaine, she faces an agonizing decision. Run like she always does, or stay with the man she not only lusts after, but loves.


My Review: 

Sinfully sexy

Kate Matthews, also known as Brandy Alexander when she was working, had a past she would rather forget.  She was once an insecure girl, now she was highly desired by men.  As a high class call girl for VIP Escort Agency, she now had total control of every aspect of her life.  That is until she started having feelings for one of her clients. 

Blaine Leo Waymann, billionaire businessman, philanthropist and Australia’s most eligible bachelor, had first seen Brandy on the arm of another man at an event and he was instantly enthralled by her.  Until that moment, he’d never believed in fairytales, or even true love. The fact that she was a call girl hadn’t ever bothered him.  He needed her in his life and was willing to do anything to make that dream come true.  How far will Blaine go to win over Brandy/Kate’s heart?

This is an amazingly well written story that was easy to get into.  I felt sad for Kate with how she fought her feelings once she realized she loved Blaine.  She definitely deserved love but wanted her independence as well.  Blaine would do anything to make Kate happy, but she kept pushing him away.  If two people deserved a happily ever after, it was definitely these two.  If you liked the movie Pretty Woman and like a very spicy book, you will enjoy this story.
