ARC Review of Escort by Skye Warren

Escort by Skye Warren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Escort by Skye Warren is the story of Hugo and Bea. It is a standalone romance read. Hugo Bellmont started out poor but has worked his way in life to where he only has to work once a week if he wants to. I bet you wonder what he does to be able to do this? Hugo is a male prostitute or Escort and he is at a place in his life where he is very sought after and he only has to work once a week if he chooses. The book starts to when Hugo arrives to entertain a new client at the L’Etoile. Only Hugo is surprised when he finds out who his client is. His client is Musician and internet sensation Beatrix Cartwright (Bea). Bea is an agoraphobic and has been cooped up in a hotel penthouse since she was ten years old. Bea is seeking to get rid of her virginity but isn’t looking for it to be pleasurable. She hasn’t met Hugo before. Hugo thinks this is going to be an easy peasy job but soon he comes to realize Bea is not the usual type of women he normally “works” for. First, she is younger, second, she is sweet and very innocent and lastly, she is not bitter. Hugo himself is sarcastic, bitter, and so hard on himself. Yet he projects this charming, seductive, and smoldering outer shelf when dealing with clients.
Their first meeting had this instant chemistry. It was electric. Oh just remembering how painfully shy Bea was when she was expressing to Hugo what she wanted from him has me shivering. Yum. Bea starts the book as this introvert who has gone thru something so painful she is unable to function very well which is why she is housebound. Hugo and Bea are really made for each other. You can tell from their interactions and the chemistry between them. Ms Warren did a great job in building the beat and building the story. There is more going on than just Bea wanting to lose her virginity. In this book, there is angst, anger, pain, heartbreak, desire, lust, secrets, lies, revenge, vengeance, pleasure, hope, friendship, compassion , forgiveness, and ultimately LOVE. In this book, there is so many twists yet the twists make sense. Oh I just loved every moment of Bea and Hugo together. This book is told from Hugo’s POV and what telling it is. Just a note, the story is set in Tanglewood and we get to see previous characters from the author’s other books- Damon and Penny with brief glimpses of Christopher, Harper and Blue. Ms. Warren has written a compelling, enthralling story that will take the reader on a roller coaster of a journey. The author wrote a unique beautiful love story , one that share which the readers which is one beautiful creation.
