Sarah Woodgate's Reviews > Gigolo: Inside the Secret World of the Super Rich

Ben Foster, an ordinary guy, married with three kids and working hard to put food on the table, finds despite his efforts, his family are still forced to live hand to mouth. Having used a small inheritance to train as a masseur, he brings in a little extra income from the few clients he has managed to net. Late for an appointment one afternoon, fate appears to be on his side, and to his amazement, he is thrown into the world of opulence, grandeur, and sexy, well-preserved women with far too much money and time on their hands. They groom him, use him, but it is the enticement of money, bringing a better life for himself and his family, that drives him to make choices he would have never imagined doing before, and all while overlooking the fact that the harder one plays, there always comes the time when one loses. This is a well-crafted and ingenious novel that hooked me from the very first page, written with extraordinary skill, and luring the reader into the lives of the characters with well-described settings that capture the atmosphere, the sex, the drugs, and the actions played out in each and every scene. I whole-heartedly recommend this book and will without doubt, be reading more from this talented author. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
