It is explicit about the sex so beware if that offends you, and is a rivetting story of the rise and fall of a very modern male sex worker. We always assume we would always do the right thing, pick the right choices, but when life becomes difficult and then you are presented with an opportunity, what do you do, do you take it and repent later, or do you jut walk away?

The author gives us an intimate excursion into the world of the rich and soulless, where anything shiny and new is coveted and the dim and dull are quickly discarded.

Operation Jihadi Bride (Hachette, 2019), John Carney's covert mission to rescue young women from Isis, was released to a mass of TV and press publicity - 'Fascinating . Ben doesn’t describe himself in much detail but from the way women reacted to him, I picture him as tall, well built and good-looking.

So our protagonist finds himself propelled in a world where houses don’t have postcodes, where your services are rewarded with the agreed upon fee but you might happen to get a brand new car. The only slight criticism I have is that I feel the book ended a little too quick, ( maybe I just didn't want it to end ) it went from a great chapter about an eye opening event to then reading how Ben decided to change his way of life in the last chapter and it was all over so quickly.

I was angry at some of the decisions he made, I wanted to yell at the Committee for putting him in this situation. The funny thing is even while Ben is giving Olympic gold medal-standard performances, you still worry about his welfare.

The prose is rich and flows amazingly well, taking us with Ben and making us feel the weight of his choices. This is a book that literally gets your pulse racing as you journey through a world at once attractive and dangerous, populated by characters that are both sophisticated and yet child-like. Kevin Phillips, James Morrison, Ben Foster, Paul Robinson to mention a few have been highly inflammatory towards us over the years and we just had to accept it as banter.

But in addition to too many descriptions of touching this and that, Ben Foster, the Gigolo, also tells us his personal story from 2005 to 2007- and it’s a good one.

STANDING before a room full of beautiful women, including a Hollywood actress and a famous TV host, Ben Foster froze as he was asked for “a massage – with a twist”. I will say, however, that the book is well written for what it is and Ben’s own voice comes across loud and clear. Again another stark contrast with the loving but plain sex life Ben shares with his inexperienced wife. Details about his encounters are covered in his book 'Gigolo: Inside The Secret World of the Super Rich', which is up for a People's Book Prize.As his fortune rises, and he provides more for his family, even his sweet, unassuming wife begins to change and see a future for herself.

I whole-heartedly recommend this book and will without doubt, be reading more from this talented author.I have to say that it's not a book I would give to my grandmother - the descriptive writing style that paints Ben's world so well loses none of its detail as he carries out the duties that books title suggests, but if you are looking for something that has the style and grace of James Bond with the PG rating well and truly stripped away, then this book is for you. To get the inside scoop to the how’s and the why’s people get into the life of a paid sex worker intrigued me. The 44-year-old former bouncer from Great Yarmouth works as a carer and lives in a caravan at Mill Lane in Bradwell.
