The Thrill of It (No Regrets, #1)

The Thrill of It by Lauren Blakely
Expected publication: November 21st 2013
A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Blackmail. And Power...
Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it's the thing that makes life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about love...Love isn't patient, love isn't kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves. At least that's how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was addicted to love and to sex. Even though I've never had either. I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I'm being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don't regret.
Trey...
With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were temporary. They were pills, they were bottles, they took away all the pain, and numbed the awful memories that wore down my ragged, wasted heart. Until I met Harley. She's the only girl I ever missed when she walked away. But now she's back in my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for us, especially since I don't know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family. All I know is she's the closest I've ever come to something real, and I want to feel every second of it.
How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you know?

Rachel's Thoughts:
I'm not sure how someone can be a "virgin call girl" but this does sound intriguing, and twisted. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Brandie's Thoughts:
I agree - I don't know how that'll work, but I am definitely curious!  It's a different subject matter and that's exactly what I'm looking for these days.  Also, Lauren Blakely is an author I've seen getting a lot of attention lately and I've been wanting to try one of her books.

  1. I'm also intrigued by the idea of a virgin call girl. That sort of reminds me of the virgin stripper concept seen in Stripped by Jasinda Wilder. I haven't read it yet, but I kind of want to.

  2. Hmm...this sounds interesting. But it also seems like authors are trying really hard to come up with something different. I guess I will see what readers think about it!
