Robyn Harding - The Arrangement review

So first, let me say that I was completely drawn in by this book. Were there things I didn't quite believe, yes, but that didn't stop me from liking the overall story. I was drawn into Natalie's plight. She was juggling a lot, most of it her fault, but she learned of a way she could make life easier for herself. Or so she thought. At first Natalie seemed like a normal girl, trying to make ends meet. The reader quickly falls into her world and once she finds her sugar daddy, we see how things shift. This was a fast-paced read and I found I didn't want to put the book down. I found myself rolling my eyes a few times as things seemed over dramatized, BUT I wasn't sure how things would go or what really happened. I guessed a few things, but I didn't see all that was coming. Overall, this was a enjoyable read and I wasn't expecting all that this book held. I recommend this read!  

A Pretty Woman tale turns toxic and deadly in this provocative thriller of sex, obsession, and murder from Robyn Harding, the “master of domestic suspense” (Kathleen Barber) and the USA TODAY bestselling author of The Party and Her Pretty Face. 

Natalie, a young art student in New York City, is struggling to pay her bills when a friend makes a suggestion: Why not go online and find a sugar daddy—a wealthy, older man who will pay her for dates and even give her a monthly allowance? Lots of girls do it, Nat learns. All that’s required is to look pretty and hang on his every word. Sexual favors are optional.

Though more than thirty years her senior, Gabe, a handsome corporate finance attorney, seems like the perfect candidate, and within a month, they are madly in love. At least, Nat is…Gabe already has a family, whom he has no intention of leaving.

So when he abruptly ends things, Nat can’t let go. But Gabe’s not about to let his sugar baby destroy his perfect life. What was supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement devolves into a nightmare of deception, obsession, and, when a body is found near Gabe’s posh Upper East Side apartment, murder.

Emotionally powerful and packed with page-turning suspense, The Arrangement delves into the sordid, all-too-real world of shadowy relationships between wealthy, powerful men and the young women who are caught in their web.
