And while I’m not really a fan of mentioning some “secret” (about how his previous relationship ended) and then not telling the reader, I tolerated it in this book. I truly felt how lost he was when the book started, and how lonely. Ryder was not what I was expecting at all. Instead we got to see the role it would play in a love story…which is, I suppose, the part that I found fascinating.

What I appreciated about this one was that we didn’t really get into the industry at all, it was just an aspect of Eden’s character. And while that’s kind of a shame, I like how books I’ve read have helped me not to judge the *people* in those industries (well, the ones on the bottom, not necessarily the ones at the top who exploit). It’s a strange world we live in where sex really does bring in the money. And what’s strange is that a lot of romance books I’ve read have helped me to consider the reasons women might seek these jobs out, besides the obvious of enjoying it (or the common thought that they were forced or coerced). I doubt I was supposed to, at least to the degree which I was, but I think women who work in…shall we say “less savoury” professions are so often judged without looking deeper. So while I was surprised what subjects this book tackled, I found it really fascinating and thought-provoking. And while I don’t want to spoil things, I will warn that if you have problems with people in porn or the sex industry, then you should steer clear. My Review:Ĥ.5 stars - OK, wow, this book went in places I wasn’t anticipating at all.

I had accepted things would have to stay the way they were-until the day I found a clue that led me straight to her.Īnd that was when our love story really began. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise.Įden was funny, intelligent, gorgeous-everything I’d ever wanted in a woman. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. Her real name was Eden, I’d soon come to find out.įrom the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed.Īt first, we knew nothing about each other’s real identities…and she was adamant that we keep things that way. Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape-my sanctuary. I was “ScreenGod” and she was “Montana,” but of course, those weren’t our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind.
