BLP REVIEW ~ TRACY

 Though I had heard Alice Tribue’s name, until I picked up Mirage I had never read one of her books ~ this is something I will be remedying in the near future.

The blurb for Mirage had me intrigued – there are many books available where the main character is an escort but I’d personally never come across one where the female lead was a Madam. I have to say that I loved this story from the start.

Victoria is a very successful woman who has a very tough exterior but there are many layers her – she hides them all very well – and when you discover why she took the road to becoming a Madam it gives you a better insight to her character.

Nathan, ah, dark, mysterious, determined, dirty talking man that he is…. He’s another one with secrets and layers – and even though I wondered what his angle was right from their first meeting, I kept hoping that he was as good as he appeared to be!

“They see only what I want them to see.”

They get together after a fair amount of persistence on Nathans part ~ Victoria has so many secrets that need to be kept hidden and she trusts so few people that it’s hard for her to let anyone in – will she be making a terrible mistake letting Nathan get close to her?
When the shroud is lifted and his truths are exposed, her world is knocked for six, but she’s not the only one affected!

I read this story in less than a day – and that was allowing for interruptions from real life, bugger that it can be… – I honestly didn’t want to put the book down!!

A hot, emotional and sexy story, with a likeable supporting cast, some mystery, a couple of twists and a good plot ~ for me, this was a really great read and I give it 4.5*
