Revenge (Revenge #1) by J.J. Knight

Jess moves to LA for her dream job as a music intern. On her first day, she bumps into Dylan busking on a street corner.

Dylan Wolf has a gritty voice. His eyes are soulful. His incredible body is to die for, tattoos and all.

When Dylan looks at Jess, she feels emotions she's never had before. He can be sweet, but his dark moods scare her. When he sings, the whole world falls away.

Jess and Dylan's meeting hasn't gone unnoticed. At her job, Jess is summoned to the mysterious ninth floor. Her new assignment is to get close to Dylan. By seducing him.

Jess is shocked. She's an innocent girl.

Selling her body would be immoral. It would be wrong.

But strange things are happening at the company. No matter which decision she makes, she might be in danger.

One thing is for sure: If she takes this assignment, Jess will never be the same.

I received a copy of Revenge courtesy of the author and publisher in exchange for a review. 

Jess moves to LA to pursue her dream of working in the music industry, and within her first couple days, is mugged and ends up with a black eye. Good thing she was watching a sexy musician busking on the street, because not only did she get her wallet back, she got a bonus. Dylan makes her feel something, and she's lucky enough to be hired as Eye Candy to pursue him and earn his trust.

I would love to happen upon a hot street performer, but that's never been my luck. Lucky Jess! Not in her new town for a hot minute before she's got one singing to her about her shoes! I enjoyed the way Jess presented herself, and how she interacts with her new roommate. Although, it took me a minute to appreciate her always calling Amanda a skank, since that's also my name. Call 'em as you see 'em I guess. I really am curious about the shady seeming dealings with Jess becoming Eye Candy, and I can't wait to find out more in the next installment! Dylan is a mystery to me and I want to get inside his head!
