February (Calendar Girl) MP3 CD – Unabridged, June 15, 2016

In the Calendar Girl serial, we have been promised monthly installments featuring Mia and 12 different clients in 12 different locations, the second novella takes us to Seattle where we meet Alec Dubois. He is a French artist who will lead Mia on a journey of self-discovery. He helps her like herself a little more… Starts a healing process that for Mia has been a long time coming…With this story Audrey Carlan managed to combine the perfect amount of longing for Wes while showing us the combustible heat and chemistry with Alec. She shows us how this February relationship became a cathartic one where Mia learned to live for herself for once instead of always taking care of and putting everyone else’s needs first. While texts and a phone call with Wes give us a glimpse of the January man that we know and love the author shows us that you can “love the one you’re with” for a snapshot in time and take moments from that relationship that will stay with you for a lifetime.This book wraps much like January did with a letter to her client. The poignant words show us what Alec and their time together has meant to Mia. We also get to see the email from Aunt Millie and pictures of our March adventure, Anthony ‘Tony’ Fasano.

F*** Oui!I'm disappointed in myself for discovering this author. I hate that I picked up January because now I am beyond invested, beyond sold by this author, and thus my wallet is going to b*tch-slap me into next week when I buy the rest of the books ASAP.I absolutely ADORED Wes, and I absolutely ADORED the way the author didn't cheapen what he had with Mia by making her fall head over heels with somebody else. You can feel a different kind of affection between Mia and Alec. It's a very heated one, chemically driven. To be frankly honest, I don't have a thing for French men. They make me cringe. Sorry, French dudes, I grew up in Canada being force-fed French classes and the language is too sweet, too feminine for me, and I love a rugged man in every way imaginary. But, Alec was an exception. He was a workaholic; a romantic at heart with a vocabulary that would make you both swoon and roll your eyes at the same time. I enjoyed him fiercely, and not for the obvious reason of being sexy eye candy. More for teaching our heroine a lesson that most women should appreciate. To love thyself. We are all beautiful in our own way, and it only counts when we believe in it too.Did Mia get all slutty? Sure. She's a freaking escort. Was it too soon? That was for her to decide. I'm not the kind of person that will read a book about a woman getting into bed with several people and call her a slut. Mainly because we have that many romance books out there where we have allowed men to do the same and not care about it. There are double standards in romantic fiction that not enough people address. What I like about this concept is the author went, "I don't give a crap, this is what I want it to be" and made that happen. With no hesitancy. No fear of rejection. She literally has balls where many authors do not. And thus the books are not recycled. The plot - of a woman entering an escort service for some life threatening reason IS - but the delivery is very different, very unique.I'm still team Wes, my scrumptious sexy blonde haired man who I'd imaginatively lick in very dark places. I mean, what?And I'm starting to wonder what happened to Mia's mother. Anybody else think her disappearing when she was a kid was out of the ordinary? I have a hard time letting issues like this sit. It simmers inside me. I just have to know.Onwards to book 3! 5/5 stars

I one clicked and pre-ordered it without worry because I know if it is by Audrey Carlan it is going to be Hot!!!! Calendar Girl is a once a month serial, but each can be read alone, as each one is wrapped up at the end of the month. WARNING!!!! If ya read just one though, you'll be hooked and will be waiting on pins and needles for the next one to come out! They are good, and the next month picks up where the previous one left off with Mia leaving for her next escort duties. So far each one has had a bit of a sad, but happy ending! Mia is growing into her character each month and comes away with something she needed to learn in her live with the giving of herself each month. February's lesson for Mia was about learning to love herself! Mia always does for everyone else and she is left out. Alec Dubois is a French artist living in Seattle, and Mia has been hired as his muse for his art this month. This month's book did not disappoint, it had love, hot sex with a French panty melting hunk, and seeing Mia learn to love herself in my minds eye, was priceless! We learned a little more about Mia and about the guys who hire her each month from the escort service for their needs. Mia learned a lot this month, she learned how to love herself and someone else too, and that it is okay to move on. I for one cannot wait for March's story to come to light, the same way I am anxiously waiting for Spring to usher out the nastiness of Winter. So far the last two months of Mia's journey has had a profound effect on me as I read it. There were tears,love,laughter. more insight into Mia's character. As I said these could each be a short stand alone novella, they tell that months story and have a semi ending. With reading each month it adds more insight to the story even more. Come on March Calendar Girl, and Spring! I wonder which one will arrive first?!

Book 2. Again states 104 pages, minus the intro, thanks, blurb of next novel, reckon there is what 90 pages! and this is a novel? I think not.Again add each 12 so called novels up and your paying just under £24. Doesn't make sense, especially well established authors who knock out one novel with say 600 pages for a five!Much better than the first novel. This one has some life lessons in them. There is a connection on many levels, mentally, emotionally. He takes her on many life lessons in a very simple way. Again she is ready to jump into bed with them on the first night. Considering in her whole life she has never had one nighters, only had 4 relationships, doesn't make sense how she is in the novels at all.This book is for you if you need to learn how many levels of love their is between different connections in life etc.Basic book, basic storyline. Now way on earth is this the next best thing to 50 shade fix,.Better novels out there and I mean novels with over 400 hundred pages and much cheaper than these in total.

....wasn't as good as January!,To be honest I wasn't that impressed with this....Mia had a hard time accepting being an escort but done it because of her dad owing money - fair enough BUT in Januarys book she slept with Wes the first night but for some reason the story came together perfectly, and I would love for to go back to him.Then comes February where she goes of to meet the French artist and is missing Wes, wondering if she should have taken up his offer to pay her debts and to love her....and instantly throws herself at Alec?? She's missing Wes but yet kisses Frenchie within minutes of meeting him and she can't wait to get in the sack with him?? Ah hello...Wes? Keeping professional? And then she goes off on one when she finds out they paid her the extra that was agreed???That aside, Frenchie knows his art and teaches her some self loving. So he's a decent guy.Wasn't impressed although because I liked the first book so much, I'll give March the benefit of the doubt and have a read.

Expensive for what it is. The idea is good and I really want to know who she meets but I do feel robbed at having to pay £1.99 12 times for a book which is no more than a short story at 100 pages long meaning I will have spent £24 on books in 12 days if I read the rest at my usual pace. I have just finished March and I'm trying to justify buying the next book. All 3 'books' I have read so far could have been much better and elaborated on to make an actual book. 24 days could be a lot more interesting, the sex is badly written but I want to know what happens.. Would like to see the full 12 months as a box set at say £9.99!

Mia Saunders continues her journey to help bail out her comatose father. Her father's life is danger to a dangerous loan-shark who is Mia’s ex-boyfriend. For the month of February Mia's journey takes her to a French artist named Alec Dubois in Seattle, Washington. Alec is making an exhibit called “Love on Canvas”which is a combination of photographic stills and painting two people who are entwined, which make the most awe-inspiring pieces the world will ever see. Each piece contains Mia who is vulnerable at that particular moment in time.Mia is shocked to be a muse to Alec. Mia is a motorcycle riding, ass-kicking, rock t-shirts chick from Las Vegas, who is Alec's muse. For a month.Mia is still working for her aunt at Exquisite Escorts and never thought she would be standing naked in front of a blank canvas in a Seattle warehouse.Alec Dubois plays on Mia's vulnerability, teaching her lessons about love, life that will stay with me through the rest of her days.Audrey Carlan is amazing. If i could give more than 5 * i would.

Really good book, definitely recommend, looking forward to reading March next with Mr Italian stallion. Hoping it’s just as good as the last two.
