The blurb:

“A collection of the five short stories that make up the Escort Sex Diaries series.

Dina is smart, beautiful and sexy. Most men dream of having a woman like her. Luckily for some she’s available - but for a price. Read about Dina’s exploits with her clients in this collection of short stories. From eighteen year old, inexperienced Ed to hunky and well-hung James; from spanking to threesomes -- there’s something for any lover of erotica in this hot little compilation.” 

Contains the following stories:

Business and Pleasure
That Friday Feeling
Meeting Expectations
Show Me What You’ve Got
Double Helpings

My thoughts:

Dina works using her real name and is studying for a degree in psychology. Her job as an escort has supported her through years of university. While these five stories are short glimpses at her professional life we see just about enough of Dina to care for her and just enough of her clients to get a feel for who they are.

1.   Business and Pleasure:

Ed is an eighteen year old virgin who’s been given a few hours with Dina as a birthday present. He’s cute and, initially at least, very shy. The way Dina eases him into the pleasures of sex almost made me think every boy his age should be given a similar birthday present.

2.   That Friday Night Feeling

Pete is a married forty year old with a penchant for anal play his wife won’t indulge in. It’s clear from the moment he walks in he’s a regular and the smooth sex between them is obviously the result of past experience and yet, there’s a line that’s never crossed. Dina serves a purpose for which Pete pays her. That they get on is a bonus. That they are extremely hot together is very fortunate for the reader.

3.   Meeting Expectations

We get more of an insight of Dina’s private life as she goes to hear a guest lecture by Professor Montague, a leader in his field. It is hardly surprising (for the reader, anyway) that the same professor turns out to be her client the following day. His particular kind of kink make their encounter a far from standard one for Dina – it is very satisfying though.

4.   Show Me What You’ve Got

Clive is a regular Dina sees for a quickie, the afternoon before she meets James, another regular. With James we see for the first time that being and staying professional is not always an easy thing to do, which gives what might otherwise have been ‘just’ a fun collection of sexual and hot encounters, a short but much appreciated intimate layer.

5.   Double Helpings

This story features a threesome with two men who have been in a committed relationship for a long time. Both are bi and hire Dina to fulfil a fantasy of theirs. For me this was the hottest story but that may well have something to do with my love for m/m stories. What I really appreciated about this story is that it wasn’t a ‘straight to the bedroom scene’. I liked that Stephen and Dan took the time to get to know Dina over dinner before deciding whether or not to take it further.

Overall I have to say I really enjoyed this short book. It is not a romance in any way, shape, or form but it is nevertheless a sweet and touching story. It is hot as hell while giving time to feelings other than physical as well. While each of the scenes is about the sexual encounter between the characters, the author didn’t shy away from sharing Dina’s thoughts and feelings and once or twice hinting that while this job was the perfect solution for Dina, it wasn’t always uncomplicated or without secret longings. I am happily surprised to discover that one of my favourite m/m authors (Jay Northcote – you really should check out her books), also writes rather fabulous m/f stories.

The blurb doesn’t lie when it states that there’s something for everyone in this collection. In my case all of it worked very well indeed.
