If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. At least that's what Brody tells himself. But even though he thinks he's happy, he's never forgotten John, his first love. Fate gives the two lovers a second chance; will either one of them be man enough to take it?
Praise and Reviews
"
This is not a typical romance with a happily ever after, but it's a gritty, compelling story about unique characters. The ending is hopeful and realistic, so those who are afraid of sad endings need not fear, but it's probably one of the most plausible conclusions to a story of this ilk that I've ever read. I know there are those readers who are in it for the happy fun schmaltzy escapism, and I do not recommend this to them. However, if prefer your erotica to smolder with intense, overwhelming emotions that drive intelligent, complex men to their very limits, then this is for you. Just don't go into this expecting a Hooker With a Heart of Gold meets his Prince Charming story." from Goodreads
"This is a story about two people with feelings, not cardboard cutouts. The hustler has been hurt by his friend, but he can't deny the connection that is still between them, try as he might. The question is does he forgive and forget. He may be able to do the first in the short term, but only time will tell if he can do the second.
I loved this little story for its honesty about two people who weren't perfect but in a way are perfect for each other." by AB Gayle from Amazon
"In both the sense that a hustler's client is called a 'trick' and in the sense that this is an emotionally tricky read, the title is perfect. I'm a Clancy Nacht fan, and stories like this are really why. As much as I love all Nacht's stories, it's these gritty, painful ones that really wow me. I should warn people looking for a happy romance, this is not going to suit you. Don't buy it. For people who are looking for something dark, angsty, and heartbreakingly real, you need to 1-click this now. The protagonist says at one point not to expect a hooker with a heart of gold story, and that is absolutely the case. This is about life in the gray areas, about what goes on behind closed doors and the ways that our emotionally driven choices as teenagers can send us down paths we never should have been on. By the end, though, there's a satisfying sense of rightness. What's done can't be undone, and a broken heart takes more than a few kisses to make better, but in "Tricky" as in the real world--not the romance world--when someone loves another enough, there's always hope that they can find their way back to the path they were always meant to travel. Together." from Amazon
