To Have:

I step on the dark stage, the cheap plastic of my platforms cutting into the top of my toes, every step bringing a pinch of pain. I keep my eyes down, following the flecks of silver on the unforgiving stage, waiting, exhaling a breath in controlled anticipation, my abs tightening. Then, the lights come on and I have almost three minutes to forget.

Welcome to my life, a drained bank account and six nights a week spinning around a greasy strip club pole. When salvation comes in the form of six feet of drop-dead-gorgeous, complete with a limo and a thick wad of cash, my stilettos run happily out the door to freedom. They say that money doesn’t buy happiness. But it does buy escape. Happiness is an overrated fairytale.

Review:

I think it could be every strippers dream to turn out as lucky as Anna Nicole Smith.  It’s not every day a wealthy gentlemen comes in an selects you to be his arm candy, his squeeze, his wife.  Candy didn’t know who the stranger was in her club, she’d been his personal stripper a few times in the VIP section, but didn’t know his name.  She did know her bank account was usually in a pretty good spot after he came to the  club.  What she wasn’t expecting is the night he came to take her from the club.

I think, Author Alessandra Torre, has done a great job in these 60  pages to describe the meeting of these two characters.  It isn’t until close to the end of book 1 that Candy learns the name of her high paying client.  He always asked for her when he came by the club.  She was thrilled.  You could tell by the way the story was written Candy was not happy with where she was in life and barely scraped by.  This is a great lead into the other three books in this mini-series.  It will leave you hungry for more.  See what happens next kind of anticipation.  Alessandra captures you with this book.  You won’t be able to just read one.  I’m sure it’s going to definitely be one that you’ll have to read all four so you can see what Candy will do next.  Will she be able to survive what’s being asked of her?  Who is this seemingly knight in shining armor?

 

To Have (Dumont Diaries Book 1) EXCERPT:

He leans forward and kisses me, and I suddenly don’t need the image of dollar bills to distract my mind. Everything floods the moment his lips touch mine.
Soft, sweet lips. Not what I expect from this commanding man. He brushes my lips softly, my lips parting for him, immediately wanting more. A groan slips from my mouth before I have a chance to capture it. His hands move up through my hair, gripping and pulling its strands. He tastes me, spreading my lips gently with his and dipping his tongue inside. I respond eagerly, my body taking over my mind, shoving it aside forcefully as a wave of arousal hits me. His touch turns harder, his mouth more demanding and he moves me backward, my heels skittering over tile, ’til the edge of the table is against me.

His hands grip my ass, squeezing it roughly, one hand on each cheek and lifts me easily, setting me on the table, the surface cool against my skin.

“Lay down,” he bites out against my mouth, taking one, last, torturous sweep with his tongue before he pulls off, stepping back and watching me.

I grip the glass top, sliding backward until my elbows are resting on the glass. I watch him, watch as he unbuttons his sleeves. He breathes hard, his eyes glued to mine and walks towards me, stopping a foot from the table.
