Joe is a gay man who prefers to date Transsexuals.

Never attending work parties before, Joe decides to attend one after receiving an invitation from his boss but becomes a bit worried, as he is required to bring a partner.

His best friend Angel suggests he hire an escort. Joe goes through the pages on the Internet and finds Star, a stunning, petite transsexual, and books the evening of the party with her.

After spending the most glorious evening and all night with Star, Joe decides he will continue to book Star every weekend. When he gets in touch with the agency he finds out that Star has quit escorting and they can’t give him any more information on how to get in touch with her. Joe becomes obsessed with finding Star.

Star Search is full of hot, sensuous, tender sex, with underlying currents of crime, intrigue and suspense. Lots of twists and turns, with the ultimate question being…

Does Joe find Star, the woman of his dreams?

Review: Joe only dates transsexuals and finding one on short notice to take to a company party is difficult, until his best friend suggests he use an escort agency. He has the time of his life with Star and is desperate to see her again but she leaves the agency. So Joe begins in his quest to track her down and uncovers a viper’s nest of abuse, crime and murder.

This is a pretty good story that is extremely erotic with multiple partners. Joe is gay and his preferred partners are transsexuals, when he needs a date for a party he ends up hiring someone from an agency and ends up wanting to spend more time with Star. But she vanishes and he tries to find her, but he gets threatened to stop looking for her. With the help of his best friend, Angel, Joe goes undercover to find Star and the danger she might be in, and discovers that it goes much further than a disgruntled agency boss.

This story isn’t the most well written book and there are a few inconsistencies that throw you a bit (this is the author’s first published book), but it had something that kept my attention, and no, it wasn’t the hot sex so get your minds out of the gutter (although there is a lot of it and it was well played out). It was the way that Joe became so entranced with Star after just one night and would do anything to find her again, and I do mean ANYTHING. it was the way that it surprised you with its escalation from being a, lust at first site/have to see her again, to the minefield of a slimy sexual underbelly of the transsexual escort business with the danger and abuse involved.

The story is written from Joe’s POV ,so you do get to know him a little bit, but I wanted to know a little bit more about him and Star. I liked the comradely friendships that developed between all the transsexuals and Joe and his friends.  The way they supported each other, even when hateful jibes were thrown their way, and the way that they came together and acted to rescue themselves and each other. I did think Joe was slightly insane at first, when he began his undercover plan and the danger he put himself in… no sorry I still think he was insane *nods head*.

So I have to recommend this to those who love transsexual/transgender stories, danger, slight suspense, twists, a plethora of erotic, hot, steamy sex (and a huge group sex scene), love in awkward circumstances and a happy ever after.
