REVIEW:THE ESCORT is the third (and final?) instalment in Kelly Gendron’s contemporary, adult A DIFFERENT KIND OF ESCORT SERVICE erotic, romantic, suspense series focusing on the Daxon brother. This is construction worker / MMA fighter Felix ‘Lix’ Daxon, and twenty-nine year old, reporter/journalist Chosen Ashley aka Luna Moon’s story line. THE ESCORT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including domestic abuse, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
SOME BACKGROUND: After living a life witnessing the abuse of their mother Maria, Brett, Cole and Lix Daxon work for an organization that rescues women from abusive situations.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Lix and Chosen) THE ESCORT follows two pathways, focusing on the search for the truth. Chosen Ashley is a journalist whose professional name is Luna Moon. Luna is desperate to talk to Felix Daxon but for reasons other than the rescue services the Daxon brothers provide. Felix’s brothers are worried about the real reason Luna Moon has contacted their youngest brother, and for good reason, as Luna’s intentions are personal and accusatory. Meanwhile, the Daxon brothers continue to find ways to get their mother released from jail but their mother Maria doesn’t want her sons involved hoping to hide the truth about what happened years before. What ensues is the building relationship between Chosen and Lix, as an ‘escorting’ assignment pulls Felix into the past.
Throughout the series, the Daxon brothers have been struggling with the reality of their mother’s incarceration for killing the man that had terrorized and abused their entire family but all was not as it appeared to be, and Felix will have to come to terms with what happened and why.
The relationship between Chosen and Lix begins acrimoniously. Chosen aka Luna is searching for information about a man who died years before, and the only link to the past is our story line hero. As Lix reveals the truth, another truth is about to send Lix into a spiral of his own. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense.
The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and dynamic. We are reintroduced to Lix’s brothers Brett (Cassie), Cole (Harper), as well as their mother Maria, Office Selina Starr, several women in need of assistance; and Willa, the woman who runs the domestic abuse centre.
THE ESCORT is a story of secrets and lies, abuse and terror, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, determined and broken.
