I wasn't entirely sure what this book
would be about, I had originally thought
maybe with the title it might have an Agony Aunt twist but turned out to be
more the inner voice was her Dear Agony moments. I loved this book as it had a
few of my favorite things, the first was
that it was set in New Orleans and it
reminded me of the time I spent there and gave me flashbacks of memories. The
other thing it has arranged relationships and the theme of semi-roomies to
friends to lovers. Rose was homeless and
making her small pittance by entertaining in Jackson Square. Rose is approached by a woman named Vale who runs a
companionship business and wants Rose.
Rose agrees and soon becomes a project and more to Vale, almost like her protege. Vale owes her business success to
her best friend B aka Bash as he gave her the start-up for the business. He is
ready to wipe Vale's loan of $2 million for Rose as his companion. Rose and
Vale agree, and Rose starts a
companionship relationship with Bash on the requirement that they never fall in
love. Of course, what will happen when
feelings start to come into the companionship and Bash reveals a dark secret. Will Rose stay by Bash's side even if
he tries to push her away and make her hate him? What will happen when the pair get news and Bash issue her with an
ultimatum and Rose being strong takes the hard road but stands her ground and
doesn't waver.I loved this part as I
have seen, heard and read so many stories which when they fall pregnant are
given the ultimatum - me or the baby and they abort the baby to stay with the
guy whereas Rose stayed strong and did not bend to his demands and of course
because she showed bravery and courage and good morals - she got her karma and
ended up on top and with a truly HEA ending. If you are looking for a
story with strong female characters but not alpha females - I don't like alpha females, then Dear Agony by Georgia Cates.
