Description
Roland Marcus—rich, handsome and pushing 40—is still not over the fact that his 20-year relationship has ended, and desperately needs someone to distract him while he attends a bevvy of charity events in New York. With all eyes upon him, including his ex’s (who left him for a younger man), Roland accidentally bumps into a hot young guy in a used book store…a strapping male hustler whom he decides to hire for one week to accompany him to his social events. He offers him $5,000, with no strings attached, to just stand by his side and look pretty.
Josh Holden, a young guy who is helping to support his son and saving money to buy a business with his best friend and ex-wife, is only too happy to escort Roland anywhere he wants to go that week. And he’s not doing it just for the money…
Roland learns in less than a week’s time that his future can still hold both earth-shattering sex and a love of real substance.

I loved this book . Aside for the similarities/parody aspects of it in relation to the movie, Pretty Woman-- I found it to be a very pleasant and VERY sexy M/M Romance. This is a reprint and I'm glad it is being re-released or I might have missed it.
Roland and Josh are both interesting and lovable characters. It's funny though because as I read, I did not picture them at all like the men in the cover art.
If you appreciate the erotic content in a gay romance, this book is overflowing with it. Each encounter being uniquely different from the previous one. I'm saying-- there is sex on nearly every page. What worked best about this for me was the fact that though their relationship is 'contract based', it always felt real and casual like sex between friends. As you can imagine, things get a little complicated in the process but it never goes outside of realistic behavior.
Two different worlds collide-- between the sheets and then in the hearts of two special men-- in spite of the sometimes amusing/annoying interference of Roland's flamboyant Ex.
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Ryan Field has another winner with Pretty Man, a gay take on the Julia Roberts movie. Rich guy hires a male prostitute to impersonate his boyfriend, and they have lots of very hot, well-written sex, and emotions begin to develop between them.
Both characters are well-drawn and believable, and the book moves quickly between the many bedroom scenes and the protagonists' interactions with outsiders. If you like a good sexy read with an actual plot and three-dimensional characters, you can't go wrong with Pretty Man.

Pretty Man by Ryan Field
ARC c/o Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
Premise of the book is a M/M version of Pretty Women
I really liked these characters Josh ( hired escort) & Roland - wealthy businessman burned by his ex lover who left him for a younger man
Sex between the two is pretty explosive & just seems like it’s happening every few pages.
Really interesting concept & follows the heterosexual version of one of my favorite moves.
Enjoyable read
