Accidental Man Whore by Katherine Stevens
Ben Wright isn’t an escort.
Except when he is.
All he wants is to make some extra money to pay off his dad’s medical bills. He never intended to be tied to beds while making the Benjamins.
Miryam Wexler never intended to be dumped by her fiancé before their wedding.
But she was.
Now all she wants is to put her life back together and not tell her grandmother about her humiliation.
He needs money and she needs a stand-in fiancé. They can help each other, if they don’t kill each other first. Two people with double lives equals four times the chaos and four times the comedy.
I am not a male escort.
Okay, technically I am a male escort in the sense that I take money from women to go out with them and sometimes have sex with them. But it didn’t start out that way. I own my own business, for Pete’s sake. It’s not turning a huge profit yet, but it’s mine and I don’t have to answer to anyone. Now I have a madam and a Little Black Book. Except I couldn’t find a real little black book, so my escort contacts are scrawled across the pages of the October 2016 Men’s Health that I hide in a kitchen drawer. My whoring schedule is written on a Chinese takeout menu.
Life used to be simple. I barely remember that life now. The past several months are a blur of lies, and sex, and more lies, and a lot more sex, and yarmulkes. Now I’m standing at my door with some eager beaver Miami detective flashing his badge in my face and wanting to know why they found my contact info in a madam’s office during a prostitution bust. I don’t have an answer that won’t land me in jail. I missed the hooker orientation where they tell you to have prepared statements for events like this.
How did it start? How did I go from a guy who waters plants for living to a part-time escort? I would like to say it started with a woman, but it didn’t. It’s kind of a funny story. I took money to bang chicks for my dad. It’s only a little less creepy than it sounds. I wonder if this cop will get a laugh out of it.

Laura's rating: 5 of 5 iScream ConesThe title literally says it all! LMFAO! This book was freakin' awesome! Katherine Stevens knows how to write a great RomCom. I haven't laughed so hard in a while. My daughter kept telling me to be quiet and then she would ask me what was happening in the book. She is 15 mind you and we have a pretty open relationship, so, of course, I had to divulge a little to her.
When I first started reading this book, I wasn't sure what to think of the lead male character Ben. My first thought was this guy is a bit of a geek, he runs his own plant care business and some of his clients are hysterical. For one his profession is a unique one, one that I have never read about and the author does a great job at explaining what it is that Ben does on a daily basis. Who would have thought that you could make money watering plants and caring for them in office buildings? Ben has recently had a bit of bad news, his father has been diagnosed with butt cancer and being a veteran, they go to the local VA Hospital. When the treatment plan is not what they expect and it is going to take way longer than they like, they reach out to Ben's father's longtime friend and doctor about paying cash...yes you heard me right. They want to pay cash for butt surgery and cancer treatment. When the final cost is given, Ben has to think fast and figure out just where he is going to get the money from...hence the title of this book.
Seriously! You need to pick this one up NOW! It is hysterical. Ben's dad is a nut case, his best friend Steed is whacked as well and his pet ferret, Mr.T, who suffers from birth trauma will have you laughing so hard, you just might pee your pants. Throw in a now single, Jewish heroine named Miryam and her crazy best friend Sheba, yes, I said Sheba and you have the makings of an absolutely awesome, funny RomCom that be read in a few short hours. So, if you are looking for a refreshing storyline and some awesome one-liners, with a quote-unquote escort, grab your copy now and sit back and laugh and swoon a little and laugh some more.
5 iScream Stars!
When Katherine Stevens isn’t writing, she can usually be found opening juice boxes and looking for lost shoes. Her kids keep her quite busy and always zig-zagging across the line of sanity. She is a lifelong Texan with a terrible sense of direction and even worse memory. She thinks life is entirely too hard if you don't laugh your way through it.
As a child, she dreamed of being the most sarcastic astronaut in history, but her poor math skills and aversion to dehydrated food kept her out of the space program. Now she writes to pass the time until NASA lowers their standards. Your move, NASA.
