Recommendation
I’ve always thought, in another life, I’d be a kickass prostitute with a heart of gold. With Buying Thyme, I now I have someone after which to model my fantasies. Miranda is hot, confident, self-assured, kickass legal prostitute in Sydney who has great sex and amazing friends. But this is not a typical romance book, and thank goodness for that. (Not that I don’t love a good typical romance book, but you know, I like to mix things up a bit.) Buying Thyme mixes everything up, tosses normal around like an old rag doll, and leaves you hanging wanting more like a wanton hussy. There are two more books coming in the trilogy, and Buying Thyme is a great set-up for the rest of the series. A definite must-read! [August 2013]
Publisher synopsis
Miranda is a high-class escort at the most prestigious escort agency in Sydney, Australia. Her Madam, Miss Stephanie commands the highest standard from her working girls and has taught Miranda the very best in the art of seducing men. Although it was never the life Miranda imagined for herself, she makes more than a decent living from it and always seems to be in demand from the Agency’s top clients.
American-born Joe Tench is one of Sydney’s most prominent businessman, owning the majority of the nightlife in Sydney, and across the country, but there is a dark side to Joe Tench. He is a regular client of Miranda's, he is also demanding, dominating and hard to handle. Miranda finds herself falling for Joe Tench’s unfamiliar, yet enticing charm.
Until she meets Tom Smythe, heir to a wealthy mining company and is amongst the top ten wealthiest families in Australia. The two develop a strong friendship after a chance meeting.
Miranda is caught between her feelings for these two very different men until a personal tragedy sees Miranda embark on a journey of discovery… and into a world she finds difficult to escape from.
