Whore by Willow Aster

This novel was brilliant and gutting and full of healing all in the same breath. Lilith and Soti's story was beautiful and wonderful. I love the fact that Willow took a story that could have been purely devastating page after page and let us heal words after word. It was an experience I wont soon forget. Throw all of that on top of a gripping story that you actually want to finish and it was fantastic. It isn't often that an author can weave a story line this one together and have it flow perfectly and this book was IT. This story was everything that I loved about romance books with a compelling story about healing and finding peace. Add to Goodreads Buy on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2yJuTyh

Synopsis:

“I need a reason to exist.” Beautiful, intelligent, independent, strong-willed, wealthy—Lilith Fontenot seems by all appearances, to have it all. But that’s not how the highest paid prostitute in New Orleans sees herself. A stain on society. A scourge. A waste. Outsider. Prisoner… Any idyllic dream of the normal life she may have once imagined, Lilith buried long ago. Her only plan now is survival. But mob boss Nico Santelli and community center owner Soti Christos have not given up on Lilith. Each has his own very specific, very opposing, plans for her, and neither will rest until it becomes a reality. WHORE is a singularly bracing take on an ancient tale of tireless love, betrayal, and the possibility of redemption.
