Great story that wasn’t at all what I expected!

Synopsis

Leah Jensen, Yorkshire lass born and bred, needs money and she’ll do anything – yes, anything – to get it. Her Grandad Thomas is in pain and the cost of an operation on his bad knee is way beyond the family’s means. Leah tries everything to earn the fee – but in the end, and like so many before her, she turns to the world’s oldest profession.

Madam Butterfly’s exclusive escort agency in London is a different world to where Leah comes from. In Whitby, the sea air is sweet, and legends of Dracula jostle with jet-mining and whaling history; it’s a place where dog lovers meet and tourists come to marvel at the views.

Leah may be out of her comfort zone, but one daring, brief encounter will bring many surprises in this memorable romantic comedy full of pithy Yorkshire humour.

My review

This story made me laugh, made me frown my eyebrows, but most of all, I truly enjoyed it.

Leah loves her family most of all. And her family just being her, her grandfather Thomas and her cousin Joey.
When her grandfather needs an expensive surgery, but they don’t have the necessary money to pay for it, Leah sees only 1 solution: doing the one thing she wouldn’t never ever do… being a lady of pleasure…

So she meets Dan and they spend the night together.

This seems like a cliché story, rich man and not so wealthy woman meet, fall in love and live their happily ever after.
But don’t get fooled, as this story will surprise you!

Despite the moment of pure necessity, Leah manages thanks to Dan, to pay the surgery and go after her dream. There is only one problem… after that amazing night, as Dan just disappeared and she cannot contact him. While she has something very important to tell him.

Like I said, I truly enjoyed reading this story.
It just have everything you need for an enjoyable time reading. It’s written so easily, despite the initial fast forwards.
Leah is so down to earth, funny and will do anything for her family. But she is also a proud woman, who won’t get fooled or played by persons who want to get her down.
Dan is for me an amazing man, but also a bit naive, as he doesn’t always sees everyone’s true colours…

For the most funny parts, you can always count on Joey and his search of the perfect man for himself. But there are also other persons in it that will make you smile (never underestimate Scotty! ☺️) and make this story even better!

So for me, it was a true comedy in an amazing setting! It made me want to be in Whitby too!
