S.E.X. Review~ Sex in Seattle series by Eli Easton


Exclusive to Amazon and Available to Borrow with Kindle Unlimited 




The Trouble With Tony (Book #1) - Amazon US | Amazon UK | Universal Link

As part of the investigation into the murder of a young woman, Seattle P.I. Tony DeMarco poses as a patient of Dr. Jack Halloran, the therapist who treated the victim at a Seattle sex clinic. This isn’t the first time Tony has gone undercover, but it’s the first time he’s wanted to go under cover with one of his suspects. He can’t help it—Jack Halloran is just the kind of steely-eyed hero Tony goes for. But he’ll have to prove Halloran’s innocence and keep the doctor from finding out about his ruse before he can play Romeo.

Dr. Halloran has his own issues, including a damaged right arm sustained in the line of duty as a combat surgeon in Iraq and the PTSD that followed. He’s confused to find himself attracted to a new patient, the big, funny Italian with the puppy-dog eyes, and Tony’s humor slips right past Jack’s defenses, making him feel things he thought long buried. But can the doctor and the P.I. find a path to romance despite the secrets between them?



The Enlightenment Of Daniel (Book #2) - Amazon US | Amazon UK | Universal Link

Business tycoon Daniel Derenzo lives for his work until his dying father reminds him life is short. When Daniel starts to reevaluate his world he experiences a startling revelation—he’s attracted to his business partner and best friend, Nick, even though Daniel always believed himself to be straight. In typical type-A fashion, Daniel dissects his newfound desires with the help of the experts at the Expanded Horizons sex clinic. He goes after Nick with the fierce determination that’s won him many a business deal.

Nick Ross was in love with Daniel years ago, when they were roommates in college. But Daniel was straight and Nick patched his broken heart by marrying Marcia. Two kids and fourteen years later, they go through the motions of their marriage like ships passing in the night. But Nick’s kids mean the world to him, and he’s afraid he’ll never get joint custody if they divorced. If he can trust his heart to an awakening Daniel, they all might find their way to a happily ever after.

NOTE: This novel can be read as a stand-alone.


The Mating Of Michael (Book #3) - Amazon US | Amazon UK | Universal Link

Everyone admires Michael Lamont for being a nurse, but his part-time work as a gay sex surrogate not only raises eyebrows, it's cost him relationships. Michael is small, beautiful, and dedicated to working with people who need him. But what he really wants is a love of his own. He spends most of his time reading science fiction, especially books written by his favorite author and long-time crush, the mysteriously reclusive J.C. Guise.

James Gallway’s life is slowly but inexorably sliding downhill. He wrote a best-selling science fiction novel at the tender age of eighteen, while bedridden with complications of polio. But by twenty-eight, he's lost his inspiration and his will to live. His sales from his J.C. Guise books have been in decline for years. Wheelchair bound, James has isolated himself, convinced he is unlovable. When he is forced to do a book signing and meets Michael Lamont, he can’t believe a guy who looks like Michael could be interested in a man like him.

Michael and James are made for each other. But they must let go of stubbornness to see that life finds a way and love has no limitations.

NOTE: This novel can be read as a stand-alone.

When I first decided to read and review Eli Easton’s Sex in Seattle series, I thought how would I ever love books about sex surrogates, within the books seemingly to appear as prostituting yourself out. But….. I could not have been more wrong.

From Tony to Daniel, to Michael, I loved each and every book in the series. The Trouble with Tony was angsty, but not over the top. Tony and Jack (Dr. Halloran) were the perfect yin to the yang and they gave hope to those who suffer from PTSD, as well as those who need emotional attachment prior to sexual gratification. Tony was gruff with a large dose of tenderness, while Jack was steely but melted with Tony. Tony’s crazy family made me smile and the “sex” speak between Tony and Jack while in session had me laughing out loud.

A five handcuff review

The Enlightenment of Daniel was completely different from the first book in the series- both men were workaholics- Type A personalities. They were individually going through their own issues but eventually found their way back to each other from the friendship they had to the lovers they became. Nick’s children were adorable, especially his son. I think what bothered me was Nick’s pushover persona with his wife and how she treated him. Good thing Daniel was able to take the bull by the horns so that all received their HEA.

A four handcuff review

My favorite of the three books was The Mating of Michael. I loved Michael, sex surrogate and James, the author & man of his dreams. Both men brought their own baggage to the friendship, especially James- his disability also in his mind as to why anyone would want to be with him. Michael was a loving soul who naturally oozed kindness and compassion, regardless of his profession. He melted my heart.

A five handcuff review

Tastefully done, Ms. Easton brought forth a topic which I would fathom people rarely discuss, but she did it tactfully and with care.

All the books in the series were well written and enjoyable.
Definitely S.E.X.
