If there's someone strange in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?
(Huxton!)

If your stripper cancels an' it don't look good
Who ya gonna call?
(Huxton!)

I ain't afraid o' no bad-boy
I ain't afraid o' no bad-boy

If you’re in need of a good time,
Who can you call?
(Huxton!)

An ex decides to screw you over,
Oh who ya gonna call?
(Huxton!)

I ain't afraid o' no bad-boy
I ain't afraid o' no bad-boy

Who ya gonna call?
(Huxton!)

If you're all alone, pick up the phone
And call
(Huxton!)

I ain't afraid o' no bad-boy
I hear he likes the girls
I ain't afraid o' no bad-boy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

But in all seriousness, Huxton is a jack of all traits who started off as security for and escort and worked his way up the ranks. He is now a man for hire. He will basically do whatever if the price is right. When one of his old friends needs a stripper, he gladly steps up. Little did he know that he would run into Zoe. She is a complicated girl and lets few people in; Huxton is determined to be one of those things—pun intended. Her situation goes form awkward to steamy to desperate in a few short chapters. Huxton is drawn to her and a part of him thrives on being needed by her.

Zoe’s past is one filled with hardship and despair. She is working off a debt to one of the mob bosses in town. He’s a total sleaze and is willing to take her debt away if she would offer up her body for his use and a few of his cronies. She declares that she would never stoop that low. 

Whoredom is something that is discussed at large in this book, not just the morality of it but how people view it as demeaning when in some cases the person may just enjoy getting their rocks off and likes to be paid for it. Zoe goes into the whole store slightly closed minded but as her relationship with Huxton expands so does her outlook on life. 

To me the writing was very simplistic and there were a few plot points that weren’t thought out very well or were a bit unclear to me. There were also some parts of the story that I wish had been in further detail, it just seemed that a majority of the book was skated over, made to look shiny when in reality it was just not.
