THE PROPOSAL is a standalone read with a HEA. I am reviewer 418 so I doubt if anyone will ever read this but I wanted to add my 5 stars to the other reviewers. It just dawned on me that there are no sex scenes. There were 3 male strippers but we missed the show so that doesn't count. I normally always read one star reviews before I download a book. In this case I didn't. Not sure why but I'm glad I didn't. After reading I decided to see what the 1 star reviewers had to say and I have to say, I DIDN'T agree with anyone of them. I'm not sure we read the same book. Of course, I will be the first to admit I am not an English major. If you write a story and forget a comma, I won't care because I didn't know it went there in the first place. Same with typos. I've been typing for over 63 years and I still make mistakes that I sometimes miss when I proofread. I really don't care about your typing. Of course if the book is so bad you can't read it that is one thing, but a few mistakes? who cares? I loved this book so I was shocked to read some of the reviews. I guess we all look for different things in a story.
Ethan is the hero in this story. I loved him. He is 30, single, works as an escort, no sex, mostly just listening to women that have workaholic husbands or ones that have grown bored with them. They just need someone to listen and care. He uses the money to pay his expenses so that he can work with metals to create art. He is close to being able to show his work and hopefully be able to earn a living with his art. He is a gorgeous, sexy hunk. He is also kind, considerate, very aware of a woman's needs, and interesting. I really liked him.
Nadine is 35, single, a career woman on the way up. She has a high powered job but her boss is a female that is a witch of the highest order. Dumping all her work on Nadine, she takes the credit. She sees Nadine as a threat and does everything possible to make her life miserable. There is a big conference coming up and she needs a partner. The big boss is big on family and he likes all his people to be settled and have partners. Now Nadine desperately needs a partner to impress the boss. She has no one to fill that role. She doesn't date, a bad experience left her deciding to just concentrate on her career. She saw Ethan at her sister's bachelorette party and decides to call and see if he will hire on as her plus one. She calls him and he tells her he is not a stripper, he was only filling in for a friend, she doesn't care, will he do it? He tells her he is an escort and his fee is $500 a night. Done, she hires him for 3 nights and she will pay him $800 a night!
And then the fun begins. They go to the big convention but they have to be in a committed relationship so that requires certain actions. She is nervous, he is a hit!! The ladies love him and the men want to be him!! She is very attracted to him but he doesn't do sex on his jobs so cool your jets honey!!
This story is fun, I think it could happen in life. Who knows? Big cities offer everything imaginable. Anyway, I thought it was a good story. I really like Nadine and felt sympathy for her, the boss from hell, working herself to death, never having any fun and then she is in the hotel room for 2 nights with a gorgeous piece of eye candy. No wonder she was a little on the edgy side. Loved the hero. Thought he was very aware of her and what she was thinking and what she needed. Great story, great read. I definitely recommend it.
I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 9/5/2019
