Love don’t cost a thing… except everything. When billionaire mogul James Preston hires an escort as a date for his brother’s wedding, he knows he’s taking a risk. One thing he won’t be taking? The escort’s clothes off. He just wants a date—not a girlfriend. Not a relationship. No strings. No ties. No games. No sex. He has his reasons. He lost someone he
loved, and isn’t interested in trying again. Too many opportunities for mistakes or worse, heartbreak. Audrey Reynolds became a high-end escort to keep her brother in his expensive group home. James Preston is the client of her dreams—he’s offering to pay her more money for two weeks than she’s ever made before. But James is... difficult. He’s gorgeous, troubled and all too human for Audrey's business-like tastes. Determined to complete her assignment and collect the money, Audrey tries to
play by James’s rules. But before she knows what's happening, he's rewriting the contract. When Audrey ends up in James’s bed, he realizes that she’s everything he’s wanted… and everything he’s been running from.

It was amazing! It's my new favorite book!!! Just would have liked a version of Jenny and Cole 4 people found this review helpful About the author
Leigh James writes contemporary romance and romantic suspense. She is a vocal lover of strapping Alpha males in movies, books and real life, which makes her three kids roll their eyes and makes her husband feel appreciated. When she's not writing, you can usually find her reading or watching Outlander, Game of Thrones, and Vikings (see penchant for Alpha males, above). She has a degree in journalism from the University of New Hampshire, which is good for deadlines and word counts, and a law degree from Suffolk University School of Law with a Concentration in High Technology Law, which is helpful when writing about sexy tech billionaires with legal woes.

about how I hated this book. It started off as a modern take on Pretty Woman, even down to the heroes douche of a best friend propositioning our heroine when he finds out what her 'job' is. I rolled my eyes at that. But I can't sit here and moan. I just can't. The writing had a great flow to it, I hated and loved exactly who the author wanted me to (Especially both mothers - I wanted to inappropriately beat them both round the head with a pink glittery dildo). The stupid overbearing
witches. Argh. I felt for Aubrey and the shitty hand she had been dealt in life. Even James, - who started as such an ambivalent robotic billionaire arsehole - turned it around and had me fighting in his corner. While it is clichéd, cheesy and over the top at times and it may not be an original storyline or have anything that initially stands out from all the others that are similar, there was something about this that just worked for me. I was frustrated, turned on, then I was angry. And
now I'm a gushing pile of grinning mush fangirling in my 'special' corner. "Dude put your emotional boner away. Its embarrassing " Ok sorry sorry. Maybe it was a case of right time, right book, it doesn't matter. What counts is that I loved it.
4 Stars Escorting the Billionaire is a three part serial, but now is released as one
book. I love serials because it gives me a mini break with each book, I think I would have enjoyed this series a bit more if I read them in three parts verse all at once. Then again, I don’t mind cliffys. I picked up this book because of the cover and the summary. He’s a billionaire and she’s a hooker. He needs a date to his brother’s wedding and she’s for sale. What a better summary right? The book starts out well Escorting the Billionaire is a three part serial, but now is released as one book.

I picked up this book because of the cover and the summary. He’s a billionaire and she’s a hooker. He needs a date to his brother’s wedding and she’s for sale. What a better summary right? The book starts out well, it’s light, airy and exactly what I was in the mood for. It showed James as crass, rich and kind of mean. He needs a classy girl to take to his brother’s wedding, but it’s not just for one night, he needs her for two weeks, since he will be on his brother’s honeymoon as well. Audrey is a poor girl that needs extra money to pay for her brother’s special needs cost. She works as a high escort service and as much as she doesn’t like her job, it pays the bills.
She lands a once in a life time payout to be James’ date. She gladly accepts the offer. Out of the three parts of the book I really liked the first book the most. I liked Audrey and James getting to know each other. I also like the mild tension and angst. James is attracted to Audrey but he doesn’t want anything more than what he bought. Just some arm candy to show his family he is “serious” and so they can leave him alone. Audrey pursues James a bit, but only to guard her heart. She
believes if she treats him like a “John” then her heart will be intact. The relationship between James and Audrey moves forward fairly quickly and there’s plenty of family drama to keep you going. James’s and Audrey’s mothers create most of the obstacles and at times it was too much. Also, at times the book was a bit repetitive and dragged a bit. I think it’s because I was reading it one sitting verse in three parts. I skimmed those parts. I think if the book was cut down by 30% it would
have been easily a five star book. Regardless, this is my first Leigh James read and overall it was pleasant. I see plenty of potential. She has all the makings of a good book, it just needs to be tweaked slightly. Read on Kindle Unlimited

Mar 07, 2021 Christina rated it it was amazing Enjoyed. I think the characters were well drawn. Adored James. Audrey was believable. The evil mothers were a little over the top but without them, I suppose there wouldn’t be much conflict. The love scenes are well written, steamy. This was as if the movie “Pretty Woman” was updated to today.
It was on my Facebook page , I started reading it was distracted by a call when I went back it was gone had to do a search to find out the title just want to continuing reading
I read trashy books to waste time when i have to study. There. That is the review. Finished in 2 days. Not all keep you on your toes books are good for you. #guilty.
Feb 25, 2021 Irida rated it really liked it This was a Pretty Woman redemption but with a more likeable, caring
and hotter hero. James Preston is a real estate billionaire, sexy handsome, coming from old money and a pedigree last name. What I appreciated during the whole story is that he never treated the heroine like a hooker. The funny part was that she wanted to be treated like one, in order to don't blur the lines of the contract they had and to safeguard her heart. So she's always pushing him to be the next John.

James was entering under her
skin and this scared her to death. Audrey Reynolds was an awesome heroine. She entered the escort world in order to guarantee the cures and care needed for her incapacitated brother. She comes from poor backgrounds, with an alcoholic heartless mother and no father. They had a significant age difference she was 22 while he was 40. Their immediate chemistry and lust followed by James request to have a two-week no sex contract made their story interesting and opened the window for them
to first know each other, have time to develop feelings and then exploring their physical needs. The villain of the story is Celia, Preston's mother who has bern fighting any former middle class girlfriends of her son. There's a reason for that of course. And when James falls in love with his escort, she will move hell to not let that happen. Cute epilogue!💞

There ended up being so much more to this book than just a Pretty Woman retelling. There was family drama for both of them, there were fun story lines for other characters and characters that you started out not liking, ended up being pretty cool by the end. It was super enjoyable and I loved watching James fall madly in love
with his hired woman. I definitely need to go back and read the first book, since I didn’t realize this was a series.

Aug 16, 2018 Erica Paré rated it it was amazing This was a one day read with a storyline that kept you in suspense the whole way through (view spoiler)[ I am a little disappointed his mom didnt get charged and sent to prison for murder though. I was really hoping somehow someone would spill something incriminating about her. James and Audrey were so cute together and im glad the promise of returning every year was kept. Have to add, her mother is such a dirtbag. Ugh I couldnt stand her!

Jan 01, 2022 Steph LeBlanc rated it really liked it If you’re looking for an escort/billionaire romance, look no further. Will this blow your mind? No. But if you’re a romance junkie like me and the sub genre is something you’re interested in, I think you’ll enjoy! I really liked the length, wasn’t too long or too short.
I liked it. It was exactly what you expect, maybe slightly better than the typical dramatic romance. Worth the read.
Jul 27, 2021 Diana rated it liked it An accidental read that began with two chapters shared in a FB post. Lots of waiting rooms later today and I ended up finishing it via the library on my kindle. 🤷🏻♀️
Oct 16, 2017 Victoria rated it it was ok Okay, so I'm going to start off with the positive. I love that they did
not sugarcoat anything - Audrey was an escort and it wasn't glamorized or erased to try to make her seem more "pure." She did what she had to do with what she had for her own familial reasons. I liked the portrayal of her mother and James' mother and how the conflict seemed natural to that type of society and it's what I was expecting in a good way? I liked the ending, I liked the characters - by them selves - I liked the se I liked the portrayal of her mother and James' mother and how the conflict seemed natural to that type of society and it's what I was expecting in a good way? I liked the ending, I liked the characters - by them selves - I liked the setting, the
conflict (despite how unbelievable), the plot, and the general romance (despite the insta-lovey). (view spoiler)[ I love the fact that James' mother was being a schemey little grimey butthead and Audrey instead of running off or trying to fix stuff herself she actually told James what the hell was happening and there was no miscommunication trope HUZZAH. (hide spoiler)] What really pooped it all for me was the dialogue and writing style. I don't know why I hated
it so much and I hated the language used and how it was used and how everything was said - just I hated it. It bumped it down from a 3.5 to a 2.5 - which honestly, it just really really really bugged me. 2.5 stars, wouldn't reread, would recommend - to a specific person I know would like it.
Jun 02, 2021 Erika rated it liked it There was a lot of unnecessary f* bombs throughout the whole book. The plot reminded me of Pretty Woman, which I love, but with a twist. I wish the ending would have had more to it but overall a good spicy romance.
I liked this a lot even though--like everyone already said--it reminded me so much of Pretty Woman. Probably because I liked Pretty Woman as well. :)

Jun 06, 2021 Pamela rated it it was ok ****SPOILERS AHEAD**** I know this is a fictional romance, but there were too
many issues with this story for me to overlook. When I started the book, I was intrigued and couldn't put it down. Unfortunately, about halfway through the book I sighed with exasperation when I realized I still had about a hundred pages of convulated conflict to trudge through before reaching the end. James is a billionaire in his late 30s who comes from a prestigious family located in Massachusetts. He hasn't been in I know this is a fictional romance, but there were too many issues with this story for me to overlook. When I started the book, I was intrigued and couldn't put it down. Unfortunately, about halfway through the book I sighed with exasperation when I realized I still had about a hundred pages of convulated conflict to trudge through before reaching the end. James is a billionaire in his late 30s who comes from a
prestigious family located in Massachusetts. He hasn't been in a serious relationship in years but needs to bring a date to his younger brother's wedding. In order to keep his family members from giving him a hard time about not bringing a date, he hires an escort named Audrey to attend all of the wedding festivities with him. James comes from a wealthy elite family and needs an escort who can deal with his family and navigate that social environment seamlessly. So of course the agency
gives him a 22-year-old woman who barely graduated from high school, has never left Boston, and is one step away from turning tricks on the street corner. This is a Pretty Woman opposites attract love story, but there is no way in hell the relationship between James and Audrey would work. They fall in love and claim they want to be together forever after only knowing each other for a little over a week. The intense connection they claim to have is purely based on lust and trauma bonding.
That is not a recipe for a solid long-term relationship. James and Audrey don't really know each other. The circumstances under which they are interacting are so heightened and dramatic. They are constanting dealing with secrets, blackmail, abusive mothers, and coming to terms with past trauma, all while falling in love with each other. After being together for a few days, James proposes to Audrey, wants her to move to California with him, and also take along her brother who has
special needs. Audrey agrees to this arrangement even though she has put no real thought into how any of this will turn out or what their life will be like when they are together. Thinking that you can truly love/know someone and build a life with them after knowing each other for a little over a week shows a lack of maturity and reveals that they have no real relationship experience. I know there are people who will say they knew their spouse for a few days when they got married and
they've been together for 55 years. Congratulations, but that's not the norm. Most people need to take the time to know who they are in a relationship with and understand what the expectations are in order to have a successful marriage. Throughout the book, James and Audrey are either having sex or trying to figure out how to resolve all of the family conflicts being thrown at them. Once James and Audrey get past the lust and overcome family drama, what do they have in common? What do
they even talk about? There is a big age difference. Audrey is 22 years old while James is 38 or 39. Audrey has been in survival mode her entire life and hasn't had time to think about what she really wants out of life (other than some childhood fairytale about being treated like a princess). James has had the time to grow and establish himself financially and professionally. The discrepancy in terms of power dynamics within this relationship is vast. Audrey has low self-esteem.
She is starting a new relationship and uprooting her life for a powerful man she doesn't know and she doesn't even have a strong foundation in place. The odds are that this relationship would turn into an utter disaster. A subplot is that Audrey's best friend, Jenny, is also an escort. James's best friend, Cole, hires Jenny for the wedding. Cole and Jenny also end up falling in love and conveniently live out their happily ever after within the same ridiculously short time frame as Audrey
and James. Towards the end of the book there is a 50-page suspenseful buildup about a family member possibly being a murderer, but it ultimately ends with a whimper and it felt like such a waste of time. Initially I enjoyed the book, but I liked it less and less as the story wore on and became utterly absurd.
I know that, in its essence, romance is fantastical. It’s part of its appeal. However, this novel has so many things that are so implausible that I can’t help but wonder whether labelling it “fantasy”
rather than “romance” would be more accurate. Leigh James is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance. She's always been a writer. She started young (at six or seven), with a mystery about a socialite who
drowned in a pool. (She'd probably been watching too much General Hospital with her Grammy!) List of Leigh's Books: List of Leigh's Books: The Escort Collection: The Liberty Series: Standalone
