This book combines the emotional truth of memoir, the passion of romance, the anxiety of coming of age and the excitement of erotica with a little BDSM lite thrown in. Beyond that, it's a plain story about the thoughts and emotions of an enterprising young call girl, escort, erotic masseuse, girlfriend and wife who thinks like an entrepreneur. But, be careful. The Scarlet Entrepreneur is not soft porn or frilly romance. Etoile speaks to you in a clear voice with a sex provider's honesty and play by play detail of her racy romps. It's as if you were listening to your fellow book club member. On the other hand, she makes no attempt to sensationalize the normal, so it's easy for readers to enter her experiences. It's conceivable she may tell about an experience that is relevant to an issue, sexual or otherwise, in your own life. If you like delectable grown-up pleasures, you'll have fun reading this character-driven, nicely detailed, swiftly moving recounting of a young call girl's life adventures. Early readers confirm the above. Several add that Etoile makes her story compelling by interweaving a lot of unvarnished information about entrepreneurs, gambling, home mortgages, the Internet, government overreach and much more. One early reader called it emotional Viagra.
