Publisher's summary

All is fair in love and lust in New York Times best-selling author Eric Jerome Dickey’s tale of two brothers, four women, and the business of desire.

Unlike their younger brother, André, whose star as a comedian is rising, neither Dwayne nor Brick Duquesne is having luck with his career - and they're unluckier still in love. Former child star Dwayne has just been fired from his latest acting role and barely has enough money to get by after paying child support to his spiteful former lover, while Brick struggles to return to his uninspiring white-collar job after suffering the dual blows of a health emergency and a nasty breakup with the woman he still loves.

Neither brother is looking to get entangled with a woman anytime soon, but love - and lust - has a way of twisting the best-laid plans. When Dwayne tries to reconnect with his teenage son, he finds himself fighting to separate his animosity from his attraction for his son's mother, Frenchie. And Brick's latest source of income - chauffeur and bodyguard to three smart, independent women temporarily working as escorts in order to get back on their feet - opens a world of possibility in both love and money. Penny, Christiana, and Mocha Latte know plenty of female johns who would pay top dollar for a few hours with a man like Brick...if he can let go of his past, embrace his unconventional new family, and allow strangers to become lovers.

Eric Jerome Dickey paints a powerful portrait of the family we have, the families we create, and every sexy moment in between.

Boring Narration

Very good story line however, the narration was extremely boring. Voices are like someone reading a bedtime story. I had to stop listening to keep from falling to sleep.

This book is 🔥

This is a really good book the reader of Bricks voice is kinda dry but the reader for Duane really worked this role hard. The speed but helps with the dryness of the first reader but his voice makes some things really funny if you know what he’s referring to. Y’all definitely gotta check this book out, even the fellas!
