About this ebook

Living in Hollywood, Chris Chandler has just about everything that he could ever dream of: a People’s Choice Award, lead actor in an acclaimed television series, anything and everything money could buy.
Most people would be happy with all of that, but not Chris. As Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor, it is difficult to find the one person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, especially living under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi. Every relationship he’s had with a woman--from friends only to dating to semi-serious--gets dissected until there’s nothing left. What he needs now, what he wants, is something with no strings attached.
Sofia Larson is not your typical escort. She works for Private Lives, a company where the women they employ and the men that seek their company sign contracts, swearing themselves to silence and secrecy. What happens with each encounter is up to Sofia; while companionship is a guarantee, sex is not. Having an obscene amount of bills to pay, Sofia is only in it for the money. Her motto is "Don’t get involved, don’t get emotional, and don’t bring the job home." And then she meets Chris Chandler.

Private Lives is not the kind of book I usually enjoy. It is a romance novel with erotic elements. What actually made this book more interesting to read was the story of the lead characters. The story might seem a little preposterous to some, but I actually liked how the characters found their happily ever after. The hindrance to their happiness is also not some trivial thing but a very big roadblock. I loved how the lead characters interacted with each other and found themselves through the other. The intimate scenes were hot and steamy without being very vulgar. The book is a good treat for those who are looking forward to that in their romance novels. But there were too many such scenes and make the book really long. It grew a bit tedious towards the end. That is the reason I am giving the book 4 stars. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
