Blurb: Beautiful, penniless American girl meets handsome, wealthy Scotsman.
Sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale romance?
It’s not.
This story begins with a contract.
And an exchange of money.
A lot of money.
An angel perches nervously on one shoulder.
A devil lounges smugly on my other.
And even that dark little bastard is leery of what I’m doing.
Maxwell Hutcheson wants the girlfriend experience.
All of it.
And I’m going to give it to him.
I’m not supposed to enjoy being his whore.
I’m also not supposed to fall in love with him.
But I do. Both.
When our contract expires, I will walk away.
Because I have to.
But he’ll always have a piece of me.
I’ll mask my sorrow with a smile.
I’ll hide my love with indifference
… all while it’s killing me softly.
A fairy-tale romance.
It isn’t mine to have.
And this man I’ve come to love so dearly isn’t my happily ever after.
About Eighty-One Nights:
While the characters from Eighty-One Nights are entirely new, their storyline is a combination of fresh material and carefully selected themes, scenes, and settings from The Beauty Series, The Sin Trilogy, Dear Agony, and Indulge. This is intentional. I chose some of my favorite elements from previous releases and interjected them into Hutch and Lou’s story. Let’s call it a “story fusion” between our old favorites and new material. This work was briefly released under a pen name and was titled The Girlfriend Experience.
Excerpt: “No one gets to call you a whore.”
“You can.”
He stops eating and looks at me. “I’d never degrade you by calling you a whore.”
“Not a whore. Your whore. There’s a difference.”
I can almost see the wheels turning in Hutch’s head. “You’re my whore?”
“Yes. Only yours.”
“My whore.” He grins. “I don’t think that I’m supposed to like that, but I do.”
“And I don’t think I’m supposed to like being your whore, but I do. Very much.”
He reaches out for my hand and brings it to his mouth, kissing it. “You never cease to amaze me.”
“Dirty talk. Never underestimate the power of it.”
Stephanie’s 3 Star Review:
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
I’m not really sure what to say about Eighty-One Nights. For this duet, author Georgia Cates, took a mix of all her favorite parts from her previous series and meshed them together for these two books. It makes for an interesting twist on Hutch and Lou’s story.
For 81 days Lou belongs to Hutch. In those days it’s hard to that much time with a person and not fall for one another even when you’re not supposed to. There’s a force pulling them apart, however. Some that don’t wish for this union to happen. Though because Hutch doesn’t know what he’s up against so he can’t help Lou.
The second book in this duet will have a lot of answers to fill in for these characters. Between Hutch and Lou they have to get to the bottom of what’s going on and who’s behind the trouble they’re having.
Should be quite an interesting roller coaster! Looking forward to seeing those that deserve it get their due.
