Short Summary of the book:

Although this book is filed under erotica on Amazon, the explicit scenes are only a small part of this book.

The book tells us the journey of a young man from Asian assent, who is allowed to marry the woman he falls in love with rather than through an arranged marriage. What follows is a series of unfortunate events leading to Sid ending up as an escort, moving to America and nearly taking his own life. Can life turn around for him again or is he fated to remain destitute?

What I liked about the book:

Although there were some erotic scenes, this was not the mainstay of the book and only formed a part of the story.

What I didn’t like about the book:

There was nothing I disliked about the book, although I very much disliked the ex-wife.

My favourite bits in the book:

How the kindness of a stranger helps Sid to turn his life around.

My least favourite bits in the book:

There were none.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I am not aware of any other books by this author.

What books could this be compared to and why?

The book stands on its own and love, desperation and suicidal thoughts move through the book. This is not just a work of erotica, there is an actual story being told in the book.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children No

Young Adult Probably not

Adult Yes

If you like your books dark, but full of hope for the future, and with some erotic scenes, this book may be the book for you.

I’m certainly looking forward to reading more by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Sid Basu is a decent man, but when he hits rock bottom he is prepared to do anything to get out of the hole he finds himself in. Even if it involves becoming a male escort. And by the time he has saved up enough money to leave the drudgery of his native Manchester, he is totally alone.

But it means he is ready for a new life in New York. He is excited by the lights and the glitz, but what if he tires of the City that Never Sleeps? What if he starts to dream once again of the grey skies of Manchester? Can he ever completely escape his past and find true happiness?

Sid Basu doesn’t know, but he’s going to give it everything he’s got to find out.
