Title: January
Series: Calendar Girl #1
Author: Audrey Carlan
Release Date: January 15, 2015
Synopsis
It’s really simple. I needed money. A lot of money. One million dollars to be exact. The amount didn’t matter. All that mattered is that at the end of that price tag held my father’s life.
No money. No life.
The time limit was one year. On January 1st I had to pay up or my Father was going to be killed.
When you’re faced with an ultimatum like this, you do whatever you have to do.
And that’s exactly what I did.
The job…Exquisite Escorts. My role, serve as high priced arm candy to anyone that can afford the $100,000 price tag for a month of my company. Sex is optional (for me) and a 20% increase on the price.
***
Mia Saunders just barely escaped a paltry life back home in Las Vegas until she gets the call that her Father has been beaten to within an inch of his life for not paying his gambling debt. Problem is, the lone shark is her lousy, ruthless ex-boyfriend. Another guy in a long line of men she’d fallen head over heels for. Not anymore.
Mia’s mission is simple. Serve as a high-priced escort for her Aunt’s company and pay monthly against her Father’s bad debt. A month with a rich man who she doesn’t have to sleep with if she doesn’t want to? Easy money. At least that’s the way it was supposed to go.
Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will release every month throughout 2015. The stories will feature Mia, told from her perspective as she continues her journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.
Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content.

Review
Money can make people do things they never dreamed of... and that’s the premise of the first book in Audrey Carlan’s Calendar Girl series, January.
It’s an interesting one, because I am so used to the neat, HEA that so
many romance novels offer. And I gotta say, Ms. Carlan NAILED it.
Mia
Saunders is in desperate need of money. Not just a little bit. A whole
damn lot. And if she doesn’t get it, her Dad will pay the ultimate
price. With no other option, Mia turns to her Aunt Millie and her high
priced, escort service.
Sex is optional and comes with a bump in
pay. With one year to make $1,000,000 and pay off the debt, Mia has
choices to make. And when she meets her first client, Wes... Well,
January has the potential to be one hell of a month.
This was a
KILLER start to Ms. Carlan’s monthly series – it launched Mia’s story
with fireworks, sizzle, sex (oh my, the sex) and off-the-charts
chemistry. January explained Mia’s predicament, it opened the
door for a year’s worth of stories – so many options, so much potential –
and it gave me strong, sassy, lovable Mia, and kind, handsome, rich and
oh-so-fine Wes.
I am utterly intrigued at how this story will
progress each month, because Mia and Wes together were the kind of
couple you root for, that you want need to get their happily ever after, and yet... it’s only just beginning. Argh! If this book had been a bit longer, January
would have been an excellent full-length standalone book. Instead, it’s
a kick butt start to a serial and I, for one, am thrilled to be getting
one a month from one of my favorite authors.
So, is it February yet?

Excerpt
“Sweetheart,
we need to set some ground rules.” His voice was a grumble against my skin. He
swirled his tongue over the ball of one shoulder and bit down.
I moaned.
“Ground rules?” I barely made out the words, while enjoying his talented
fingers as they tugged and elongated each peak. My body was on hyperalert, his
hands massaging and cupping each globe while those relentless fingers gave each
nipple the most beautiful torture.
“Rule one:
We’re going to have an insane amount of sex this month.” He pressed hard on
each tip simultaneously. I cried out in bliss, the heat between my legs soaking
the wisp of fabric I was wearing.
“And that’s a
rule?” I said breathlessly leaning further back into him, grinding my ass into
his thick erection. Sounded like a damn good rule to me.
Wes groaned
and then retaliated by twisting each nip, perfectly adding just the right
amount of pleasure and pain.
“Rule two is
when we’re together like this, it’s only me and you. The entire month we’re
monogamous.”
I bit down on
my lip and focused on swiveling my hips pressing against what I could feel to
be a pretty impressive package. “Agreed.”
Both hands
moved off my breast for a moment then they were back, though somehow wetted.
They slid smoothly around each areola and I melted, barely able to stay in a
standing position.
He must have
sensed the instability and moved to lock an arm around my waist but kept up his
sweet seduction of my breasts. Jesus, the man was my new hero. If he kept this
up, I’d come without ever being penetrated. I leaned an arm back and clasped
him behind the neck, arching into his hand, wanting so badly to kiss him, but
his lock on my waist and the firm pressure of his front against my back
prevented it.
“Rule three:
We never sleep in the same bed. We do
not want to confuse this with something it’s not. I like you, Mia. A lot. I
wouldn’t want to hurt you by making you believe I was in a position for a
relationship. Understand?”
The hand that
was around my waist shifted and crept low, very low, until he was there, right there where I wanted him most.
“Oh, fuck
yeah, I understand,” I said and pushed my hips into his twirling finger. And I
did understand. We wanted exactly the same thing. Friendship and physical
release.
He chuckled
against my neck, the puffs of air stirring my hair. Out of nowhere he flipped
my body around, sank to his knees, and yanked down my panties. They were stuck
at the ankles where I had neglected to remove my heels. As I locked eyes with
his, he opened me with his thumbs, flattened his tongue, and went to town on my
clit.
“Oh, oh,
oh.” I was relegated to monosyllables
and nothing more.
Between licks
I could swear he started talking. My brain was having a really hard time paying
close attention, but finally he pulled away and I zeroed in, gripping his hair
and trying to push him towards my aching cleft. “Rule four:”—his eyes twinkled
and he inhaled my scent then licked his lips like he was enjoying the finest
delicacy and was about to feast. “Never fall in love,” he said with a grin then
sucked the throbbing nub into his mouth and flicked his tongue against the tip.
I almost fell
over. I leaned back, and he helped me into a position where I was lying on the
bed, legs dangling over the edge, and opened wide, him in between them. “That
might be impossible…” I whispered as his tongue drove into my sex. I was right
on the edge when he stopped in the middle of a perfect combination of tongue
and finger action. I groaned loudly.
“Excuse me,”
he said, voice tight with a razor’s edge.
I gripped his
hair and did an ab curl up to my elbows. “Relax, Wes. I’m in love with your
fucking tongue. Now stick it in me and make me come so I can return the favor.”
The sexiest grin I’d ever seen slipped across his face.
“Best decision I ever made, hiring you.”
