In my
world, there is no such thing as love. It is just a lie we whisper into our
client’s ear. Love is foreign and hazardous. What I did not expect was to bare
my soul to a man who is as egotistical as he is dangerous.
His name
is Landon. Despite his blackened soul, he tried to save me, but what he didn't
expect was my torturous fate to catch up with me.
To your
father, I'm the escort.
To your
mother, I'm the whore.
To the
legal system, I'm the prostitute.
In the
end, I'm just the other woman.
I have no
idea if I will continue to survive, if I will ever find my path aside from the
gritty streets I know so well. There is a good chance I will wind up in the
ditch like most women in my position. Surrendering to my fate is the only
choice I have. I must relinquish it all.
“What do
you think you’re doing?” I question, my words muffled from arousal. He doesn’t
respond, just caresses his lips along the sensitive skin of my neck
seductively, causing my head to loll to the side. A rush of desire races
through my chest, and my breathing picks up.
“We
can’t, remember? You’re my pimp, and I’m you’re escort. Rules,” I whimper,
reminding him of his words from last night.
He
growls, the sound of his teeth grating.
“Don’t ever call me that,” he rasps into my ear. The heat of his breath
causes me to moan. He turns me around and picks me up, his fingers digging into
my dress-cladded thighs.
“What if
you’re not my escort right now? No rules,” he breathes heavily, placing me down
on his desk.
“Like,
pretending?” I question, digging my heels into his ass, pushing him closer.
“Exactly,”
he whispers, brushing my hair from my face. “Just two normal people.”
“How do
normal couples meet? What do ordinary people do when they’re together?” I
murmur, not having the first clue how a normal couple does things.
Landon
slides his hands up each of my thighs, pushing my dress up quickly, revealing
my smooth legs and thighs.
“We met
on a golf course. I asked you out on a date,” he mutters, his words drawn out
and heavy with his harsh breathing as I undo his pants.
“I don’t
sleep with a guy until date number three,” I inform him, my hands fisting his
hard cock and pulling it free. My mouth
parts when I see it. I forgot how big, how thick it is. He hisses through his
teeth as I slide my fingers along his shaft.
“Two, because you couldn’t
resist me when I bought you some stupid necklace my shitty-paying job paid
for,” he grunts. His hand dips below my dress and pulls my thong to the side,
swiping a finger between my wetness, causing me to buck against his hand with
an uncontrollable urge.

ARC received from TRSoR Promotions for an honest review
"I don't want to feel abandoned anymore; I'd do anything to just feel something other than a place of solace. It's empty there, and cold."
What the bejesus did I get myself into with this book? Relinquish is the first book I've read from M.N. Forgy. I didn't know how she writes her characters and stories. I am not familiar with her writing style. Yet, I didn't think twice about signing up to read and review this book because the synopsis intrigued me. I have been on a roll reading fluffy romance, and even though I love the occasional cheesy and steamy reads, I always want a "palette cleanser" so to speak. Relinquish was that palette cleanser for me.
Having no over-the-top expectations, I was incredibly surprised and happy to report that Relinquish was a finished-in-one-sitting read for me. To say that I was easily captivated with Landon and Charlie's story just wouldn't do it. I was hooked. Intrigued. Then I started feeling sorry for Charlie and then mad at Landon and then I was hopeful for them.
An 18-year old girl, a 25-year old man... both trying to make a life for themselves and both have pasts that's as traumatizing as it was heartbreaking, yet they are strong and even though Charlie and Landon annoyed the heck of me sometimes, I understand that the lives they have lived doesn't make a person automatically make smart choices and decisions and that their personalities and who they are now are the effects of what they had and still live through.
"If there is something I know, it's that you have to relinquish it all before you can have it all."
Relinquish, overall, is a touching dark surprise that I was glad to have taken a chance on. From how the story, the writing style, and the characters that M.N. Forgy did in this book, looks like I'll be adding more of her work on my TBR.
Stars: 4.5 stars

young age but never took it seriously until years later, as a stay-at-home mom,
she opened her laptop and started writing again. As a role model for her
children, she felt she couldn't live with the "what if" anymore and
finally took a chance on her character's story. So, with her glass of wine in
