The Mistake I Made, Paula Daly

The Mistake I Made opening line: Bodies were my business.

My blurb:

If you were about to lose your house and the only way out was being paid to have sex, would you do it? This is the conundrum facing Roz, when one of her physiotherapy clients offers to help her get out of the debt she is in. But, to complicate matters, the man making the offer is a friend of her sisters. And he decides that this ‘relationship’ is far more than what Roz agreed to. Can Roz save herself from him?

The Mistake I Made

We all think we know who we are.

What we’re capable of.

Roz is a single mother, a physiotherapist, a sister, a friend. She’s also desperate.

Her business has gone under, she’s crippled by debt and she’s just had to explain to her son why someone’s taken all their furniture away.

But now a stranger has made her an offer. For one night with her, he’ll pay enough to bring her back from the edge.

Roz has a choice to make.

My verdict:

This was another of the December reads and I paged through the novel as quickly as possible, to see if Roz could work everything out without losing her house, her family and her dignity. A light read, perfect for anyone.
