February - Book Review

By Audrey Carlan

Synopsis

A muse. Me. The motorcycle riding, ass-kicking, concert t-shirt wearing chick from Las Vegas, is a world-renowned French artist’s muse. For a month.

I had no idea when I took the escort job with Exquisite Escorts I would be standing naked in front of a blank canvas in a Seattle warehouse.

“Love on Canvas” he calls his exhibit, a combination of photographic stills and paint entwined to create the most awe-inspiring pieces the world will ever see. Except every last one of them features me and a moment in time where I was vulnerable.

Alec Dubois played on those vulnerabilities, teaching me lessons about love and life that would stay with me through the rest of my days.

Review

Mia’s journey continues in FEBRUARY. January has come and gone, and sadly, Wes has gone with it. He’s still in the picture a teeny tiny bit and I’m left wondering if he will make it to the end of the year. Mia is now with Mr February, French artist Alec Dubois. Mia will be his muse for his upcoming Love Collection which is set to be revealed the day before she will leave.

While Alec was no Wes, I still liked him. He seemed very sweet and was genuinely sad to see her go when their time was up. He was very focused on his art, so much so that Mia never even left the building until a couple of days before she was due to leave. I also liked Alec because he pushed her a little bit to try new things, both in the bedroom and with his art. Nothing too wild, but he definitely took her out of her comfort zone. And when he realised she’d hit her limit, he was very understanding, rolled with the punches and ended up with a wonderful piece of art anyway.

Mia is still struggling with the idea of her job, but I think she’s coming to realise that this could be one big adventure for her. Every city is a new place to explore. Every client comes with a fixed end date so she won’t need to worry about serious feelings becoming involved or any of that other relationship crap. She can simply have a good time and enjoy what’s being offered to her, a smorgasbord of stunningly attractive men and a very nice paycheque.

I can’t wait for Mr March, the Italian Stallion, Anthony “Tony” Fasano. Being an ex-boxer, I have a feeling he’s going to be a little hard and rough, and Mia will be in for one hell of a ride.

Alec: “I am hidden in the dark, only lit when my art is on display. It is you who brings the light to the surface. You are seeing your beauty reflected in me, the way my body calls to yours and yours to mine.”
