I thought all the rooms at a Ranch had recording devices to, among other things, keep this kind of situation from happening...thoughts?

I do not believe that the rooms at the BunnyRanch or Chicken Ranch or any other ranch in Nevada have any recording devices, audio or video or otherwise.  The only "intrusion," if you can call it that, is the signal to the room if the lady runs over her scheduled/negotiated time which, in Sunset's case, happens quite often.

My understanding is that there are listening devices in each room but they are not turned on all the time.  They are there to protect the girls and my guess is were not turned on for a "repeat" customer who has not caused problems in the past.

There are speakers in the rooms, to let a girl know that the time is up, and a panic button for a girl to push, and she can then speak to the office.  As for Nevada being a two-party-state,  that's not completely true, they way the law is written, it's a real gray area.  Doing searches on the subject, NV. sometime comes up  as one party, with an explanation, and sometime as a 2.

 I don't know about recording devices.  I've been told that the Bunny Ranch has recording devices in some of the rooms which were put in place when they were making their HBO series but, even when they were filming for the series, the recording devices were not on without permission of both the client and the girl.    
   
 I believe Nevada is a "two-party state" which means, generally, that all of the parties involved in a conversation must consent to the conversation being recorded.  So, even if Sunset's conversations were recorded unless the guy had consented to the recording, the ranch would be in serious trouble if they revealed the existence of a tape.  Oh, and that consent had better be on the tape.  
   
 In any case, I've talked with Sunset on occasion in the past.  I know the type of person she is, and I know that she does give out her phone number to clients and potential clients (I had her number at one time).  I believe her.  I know some guys cannot distinguish between the business/hobby and a "personal" relationship.  The line does get blurred a bit sometimes but we have to remember that even a girl that provides a "girlfriend experience" is not a real "girlfriend".  I think this guy forgot that and now wants to "punish" Sunset for not leaving her husband for him.

Not to argue with you Kathy but my search shows that NV is a two-party state.  While the law may be unclear, the court decisions have not been.  The courts have repeatedly said that it's a two-party state... except in emergency situations.  At least the court decisions I can access online...

in April, paid $1200 but then went back and shelled out another $1000 in May?  Don't think so, homes.

Just did a quick search, it's gray, when you can argue that getting a subpoena is not practical, and not needed for conversation between cell phones.

 And I forgot about the book/rebook uses of the intercom.  I should have remembered that.  I'm getting old.

I believe that you have focused on the "heart" of this story, Mr. French.  In the big picture, choices in the sexual and romantic world fall between the extremes of Total Monogamy and Total Promiscuity.  The only way that it is possible to have a lasting relationship in the worlds of Porn and Prostitution is to take the attitude, for example, that Francesca Le and Mark Wood have:  the secret of their relationship is that they allow each other to "F*ck other people."  A person has to be genuinely open minded to have such a lasting "open" relationship.  But some people, by nature and experience, are extremely possessive; the best advice anyone can give to them is "don't try to find a real girlfriend in the worlds of Porn or Prostitution."
