The Price

Review by Wendy What price is too high to pay when it comes to matters of the heart? That’s the fundamental question behind this story of a highly paid escort and an elementary school teacher. A match made in heaven they were not – not with the conflict of their chosen careers standing as an almost insurmountable obstacle between them.
On the surface, both of these guys (Grant and Hunter) may have seemed like normal, well-adjusted men. Start peeling back the layers of the onion, however, and you’ll find plenty of stuff that will make you wrinkle your nose from the stink of it and probably even bring a tear or two to your eye when you really absorb what life has thrown at them.
I love the enigma that surrounds an opposites attract themed story, but it’s extra special when that relationship feels like it has a snowball’s chance in Vegas of beating the odds (score – two Vegas references in one sentence!). I love rooting for the underdogs and it definitely felt like Grant and Hunter needed a few extra cheerleaders on their side.
In Grant and Hunter, the author created vivid impressions and so much depth. These characters were brought to life showing both strength and vulnerability, the desire for answers with the capacity to forgive, the passion to give of themselves to provide the best experience for others, and the ability to love grandly if only they can take the risk and unlock their protected hearts. Best of all, they were believable and so was their struggle. The author did not make it easy for them, so their HEA was well earned.
In addition to giving me characters that I could love, I was so very intrigued by the rich elements of the plot included in this story – things like some perspective around alcoholism, psychology, poor parental choices that affect the rest of their kids’ lives, and the fact that everyone deserves to find that one person who will love them unconditionally from the inside out no matter the price. Highly recommended!!!

I read this book in one sitting like I tend to do with Andrew Grey's books. It didn't disappoint.
his book was funny at times and very sexy. Hunter gets paid to give his customers what they want. Some just want to talk and have someone to listen to them. Hunter is a great listener and it makes him the most wanted escort in Las Vegas. Hunter is also good in bed and has the looks of a Demi-God, what's not to love?
Underneath it all though I think Hunter was just like the rest of us. He wanted someone to care about him, listen to him and more importantly he wanted someone to love him. He manages to keep that buried deep from everyone but the reader.
Grant is a good guy and takes a chance on Hunter because of what he knew of them before when they were in high school together.
They forge this relationship they didn't know would work or now because of Hunter's job.
The characters were very well written, even the sub- characters. You get to know them as well and hope to see them in future books. I hope there will be future books. I strongly recommend reading this book. Not sure what else to say without giving something away. Just read the book, you'll love it.

I devoured this book in a couple of hours because I literally didn’t come up for air! It’s a lot grungier in parts and more angsty than many of Andrew’s others, yet more endearing and sweet in others. Hunter is good at what he does and he loves his life. Or he thinks he does until the sweet Grant stumbles into his life. What I want to say most is that this is a loving, enduring, and powerful story that one will want to read again (ASAP). Andrew has woven a true romance and life changing story in his simple, elegant style that we have all come to love.
In the process of escaping a horrible first date, Grant literally stumbles into Hunter. Being the kind man he is, he rescues the man that helped him get through English back in high school. What neither man expected was the connection they made. Hunter starts to deviate from his lifestyle and work choices thanks to the quiet man he can’t get out of his head. Grant can’t believe the man that set the course of his life remembers him, much less might want him.
What neither man expects is just what the other needs most. This is not an easy story for either man but they romance and love is something special. This is a must read for any that love hot, sweet love with a little bite Winking smile If you haven’t read Mr. Grey’s work before (is there anyone out there, lol) then jump in and get your spicy love on. For those that love Andrew’s works already, you will be glad you picked up his newest! I know I am.
