Phone sex operator on speed dial. What more could a girl want?
Fashion designer Eve Harris has it all: perfect career, satisfying single life, and her very own phone sex operator in her back pocket. Lexi fills the sexual void when Eve's hectic life leaves no time for relationships - relationships she has no desire to find.
Jodi Connelly enjoys the few phone sex clients she has left - one in particular, Eve, who makes her close her eyes in dreamy lust with sharp, lonely cries of release. How will Jodi hide her secrets when the stunning Eve lands on her side of the Atlantic for London fashion week, the picture-perfect reality of her fantasy woman? And how will Eve react when she discovers the new woman in her life, Jodi, and her secret fantasy phone date, Lexi, are one and the same?
In this story Larkin Rose has created two awesome leading women who in their own way tower over everyone. Being human, they naturally have some incredibly doozy idiosyncrasies or deficiencies from certain perspectives, but they primarily light up the sky. Additionally, they are both really at the top of their game within their own principal activities. Plus, they have right from the start a flabbergastingly intimate relationship with no face-to-face contact but a super hot sexual venue. That situation morphs into an amazing parallel story arc. I was truly dazed at the beginning and continued to be astounded throughout the novel. Even if I didn’t totally love the ending I can, without a doubt, recommend this book for the extraordinary strength and stunning depth that each noteworthy woman presented to me over and over again. Transcendent!
Eve Harris is a prodigious and sublime world famous fashion designer. If I had to work for her I would be in either a mental institution within a week and/or moribund. The whirlwind nature of this industry is by and large hard to comprehend for an outsider. Yet Eve not only excels in this business, she is an out-of-this world designer and creator of cutting-edge and sensationally stylish ensembles year after year. Her business takes a toll on everyone, but especially Eve. Yet, no one is the wiser as to how she continually outshines her competition. The fact of the matter is, she is simply brilliant at her craft. Every year during the major fashion weeks in London, Paris, and New York, her shows shine above everyone else’s. It seems like this can be a very lonely life, but Eve seems to be tuned into the perfect complement for this non-stop on-the-go lifestyle. The opening of the book introduces us to her secret solution. Startling!
Jodi avoided foster care and much worse by ingenious youthful finagling and finally by becoming a sex phone operator and then an even more adept escort whose hourly fee just continued to skyrocket. Jodi went from being a street urchin to a very rich and sought after purveyor of extremely high-class sexual favors, so to speak. As Lexi, her sex phone operator pseudonym par excellence, she only has three clients left as she winds down that part of her repertoire. One of her clients is Eve and early on when Jodi, working with her best friend Amelia for Eve Harris, knows Lexi's Eve and Amelia's boss are one and the same person. Oh my goodness...these two generate such fireworks and it just gets hotter each night. It is as if one or both want to burn themselves out before the week in London ends. Oh my goodness!
Jodi is a lover of rain and inadvertently shares her passion for walking in the rain with Eve. Rain becomes an additional linking element between Eve and Lexi/Jodi. As much as both women look at the one week in London's off-the-charts sexual play as a very short-term event, there is buried deep inside both of them a completely different agenda. I was baffled, a bit astounded about the how, and really delighted when the conclusion was rather different than what I expected. It sent me soaring and believing in miracles. This book is like ambrosia and a nearly perfect kiss among Eve, Jodi, and the rain. Incredibly satisfying!
