I’ve just recently read my first Lucia Franco book and I’ve been hooked from the start. So when I read the blurb for Hush Hush, I knew right away that I needed to get my hands on this bad boy! She did not disappoint on the taboo front. Lucia Franco brought a new spark to romance with Aubrey’s sexy forbidden romance.
About Hush Hush!
Aubrey is sick of working two dead end jobs in order to put herself through college and take care of her Grammy. If only she were rick like her best friend Natalie, then all her problems would be solved. When Natalie comes clean on how she makes her money and informs Aubrey that her boss is interested in hiring her. Aubrey must make a tough decision. Keep working two dead end jobs or set her morals aside and apply at the very prestige club called Sanctuary Cove and become an escort.
But along the path of this new adventure, Aubrey finds a man she’s attracted to on every level possible. Unknowing this man is closer to her than she even realizes.
My Thoughts:
If you are looking for an extremely sexy read where no lines are left uncrossed, look no further and pick up Hush Hush.
When I first started this book I was immediately intrigued by the premise. It felt very *Pretty Woman*ish, only with more sex, more heat, and many more downright dirty moments.
Aubrey is independent to a T in every aspect of her life. She’s working to support her Grammy as she busts her ass to get through college. All she wants is a better life for the both of them and that’s something I can respect and admire from her character. This woman is strong and has been through enough.
Natalie and Aubrey’s relationship and sister type bond is something I also really enjoyed about this novel. These two are two peas in a pod, and there antics were hilarious! There were moments during their conversations where I laughed so hard.
Hush Hush was brilliant and extraordinaire!
Some of the hiring male’s fetishes weirded me out a bit… like hannibal lecter kind of weird. Those moments just added to the dynamic of the novel and showed this profession isn’t all cookie cutter sex and perfect chemistry. You get the kink with the norm.
Overall, Hush Hush had an interesting take on the escort profession. I loved how Lucia Franco didn’t sugar coat the nitty gritty and I loved how this book was so different than the normal approach to this type of storyline. It was definitely a page turner. I loved Aubrey’s story. However, there were some moments I felt ran on a little too long. and some moment I wanted a little more time with and that’s why I dropped the rating from a 5 to a 4 star.
I highly recommend Hush Hush by Lucia Franco for those looking for something a little different and something really sexy. Be warned, this reads more like an erotica than a contemporary romance and it does involve cheating. If cheating is a nono for you, this my not be the book for you.
