I want to say thank you to netgalley for allowing me access to this eARC of this novella as I have read the previous book and I am really enjoying this trilogy so far.

This was an interesting read especially as we got further in the mystery part of the trilogy, this is sexy erotica with a sprinkle of mystery. The main female seems to have had a very troubling past which we see more of in this book. I liked this better than the first one as you get more about the main female lead although there should have been trigger warnings for past sexual assault, stalking etc. this book does have some very good sex scenes although the predominant amount of them is FF sexual scenes which I personally didn't mind just to be notified before you read the book as the first one had only a single FF scene.

I really found the first book a little dull and long winded, and I thought I might get into the story a little easier with this one, but again I really struggled with diving into the storyline. I find that the writing style just doesn’t grip me. I think that the writing it’s a great in general but just not to my liking.

I was quite happy to receive this ARC for the follow-up of The Paris Hook-up. Book is short, but still quite informative to understand what was happening and we learned more background on our main girl Miri. Mystery with some sex mixed in, I can’t wait for Book 3. Many thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. 

The Monte Carlo Hook up is the second book in this series, I hadn’t read the first and I don’t think it hindered me in any way.
The books main character is Elise, flight attendant slash expensive hooker. The book follows her life over a short time in which she meets her men and finds out she’s being followed and being sent texts ind.imaging that someone knows what she does apart from flight attendant.
The book doesn’t really cover much ground, I found it was written fairly basically and the sex chapters were just missing something, maybe the way it was written but had no effect on me. Nothing really happened that stands out but maybe in the next one everything will come together? It was a quick read so that was nice for a change.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Victory Editing for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

I think it was TOO simply written?? And while I expected good smut, I didn't get it. Not even halfway there.

I guess I had more expectations, but it was a lazy read, so that's enough???

Nothing memorable to be honest.

A bit of a James bond feel with erotica for days. Secret life of a escort/flight attendant and the stalker out to destroy her. Lots of sex. Lots of detail. A bit much for me. I didn't like any of the characters and found it repetitive.

This is a great short and spicy read. I really like Miri/Elise and although I read this mainly for the spice there is also a great story with a bit of mystery thrown with the element of Miri being blackmailed. I also like how you got to know Miri and about her background more.
The spice is hot and like how Miri has a mixture of both male and female partners
If you want something short and spicy I would definitely recommend this! I'm looking forward to reading book 3

DNF @ 25%

I hadn't read the first in this series so I didn't know exactly what to expect with this one. Unfortunately I couldn't get into the writing style at all, it just felt ridiculously over-the-top and silly. I can't judge the story or smut at all, because I didn't make it far enough for that, so people who are familiar with this author's writing may enjoy this.

This is book two of which there will be at least three if not more in the series. Of course, this is the return or continuation of Miri or Elise who is flight attendants for private jets. She also has the side business of being an escort. In these books it is about work and pleasure, and both continue in this book, and they are hotter than ever. If you remember from the Paris Hook-up someone is stalking the main character by sending her cryptic text messages threatening to expose her and you dig a little deeper into who it just might be. There is also a little more information about Miri's parents and what a messed-up bunch. Miri's fascination with both sexes continues on in this one and the scene between Cara and herself is hot enough to melt your screen on your e-reader. If you like the first one you will definitely like this one also and if this is your first read of the series, I encourage you to first read The Paris Hook-up. I look forward to the next one.

Wow, this series keeps the heat on and cranks it up. I am loving Ms. Moore's erotic delights and will read all of them. This bite-size erotica comes with a plot and delicious sexy times. Yes, in case anyone is wondering, I can be bribed with great sex scenes and this book definitely has a couple that is finger-licking good.

This second book could possibly be read as a standalone. I recommend reading the first book to fully understand what is going on. And also to enjoy the benefits of having two jobs that work so well together. Hah. Miri is our main character and she continues to be a flight attendant by day and escort by night. In this tale, the plot deepens as someone is threatening to out her secret life. I am not sure why she exactly cares because it doesn't seem in her character to care about her family since she is estranged from them. Still, society is prudish and has a cow over her second job.

In between blackmail texts, Miri enjoys a sapphic feast to a menage treat. Ms. Moore excels at writing steamy hot sex scenes. I enjoy them greatly. Honestly, Miri is living the life many people can only dream of, but it came at a big cost. More is revealed about her past which makes me rage at her parents as well as sad for Miri.

This erotic novel is recommended to readers who want to take a little walk on the wild side, vicariously.

Picking up right on the high heels of The Paris Hook-Up, Miri hires a private investigator to look into the anonymous texts threatening to reveal her secret life as Elise, an expensive escort to the rich. Along the way, Miri jets across France, stopping for an overnight romp with the flirtatious Cara before meeting her client, Phillipe, in Monte Carlo on her way to the Cannes Film Festival for a rendezvous with Owen, a friend she made in Book 1.

After setting up the basics in the opening salvo to The Seductive Escort series, Tierney Moore is able to more fully develop and flesh out Miri and her balancing act as a private flight stewardess and escort. Although Miri is pretty quick to blur the lines between the two, frequently mixing business with pleasure, thus saving Moore from having to write more than a chapter or two without some sexy and risqué hijinks.

Now that the threat of Miri's anonymous blackmailer has been revealed, it allows for the stakes to be raised considerably, as well, as the two are drawn closer together. The only question remaining is why Miri's blackmailer is after her and what links them, and if the texter has some link to Miri's past life. Prior to becoming an elite call girl, Miri was subjected to grooming and abuse by her wealthy father - a subject Moore explores with sufficient detail but not so much to overshadow The Monte Carlo Hook-Up's more enjoyable aspects. Miri's background is certainly sad, but she's come through it with a heightened sense of self-worth and plenty of agency.

Miri knows what she wants and confidently goes after it, whether its answers about her stalker, sex in secret casino backrooms with debonaire company, or enough money to retire in luxury. The fact that all of these elements are fundamentally intertwined makes for thicker bit of erotic escapism, and gives this slim novella a bit more heft than expected.

This is a captivating read that often reads like a stream of consciousness so you definitely feel the emotional whirlwind of the main character's life. Lots of intriguing characters and a constant shifting scene which keeps the reader engaged. I already can't wait for the third in the series!

As a follow-up to the Paris Hook-up -I was intrigued and happy to continue this erotica and mystery. This is how a short story is done - there was enough information for me to understand what was happening and the mystery was easy enough that I was intrigued with fewer pages.

The sex was spicy as expected but I cannot wait for the netbook to find out what is going to happen next

we found out more background information from all the characters. I love the change of location for each book.

Loved this whole thing
