Nina realizes that this is a business with a ton of benefits. If you are looking for a quick hot ride, here you go. I'm hooked. I look forward to seeing what happens in the future. In the first of a new series of novellas by Jayne Blue, we meet Nina, as she is being man-handled by her mother's latest husband. Nina successfully fights this one off of her by an elbow to his nose. When he tries the same thing with her younger sister a few years later, Nina's mother throws her out, and goes after the husband. So at 18, Nina is now struggling to support her younger sister Natalie and herself. After a string of waitressing jobs, one of which was performed in a bikini, shooting a calendar and lingerie ads, Nina has finally made a name for herself as a successful realtor. Unfortunately, for reasons which are incredibly confusing, she is fired from her semi-partnership position at the realtor firm. She has also just left her husband of five years after she found out he had lost his job and spent all of their (her) money on gambling. She is now broke. So, Nina moves in with her younger sister Natalie and Nat's two children- autistic Drew, and Grace. When Nina's final real estate client propositions her for a job as a very, very high paid escort, Nina takes it. She meets her john (Jack) for one night at his pleasure. Nina realizes that she likes sleeping with men for money. She's good at it. The high salary ($100,000 for the first guy- $1,000,000 for the year) doesn't hurt either.While this is a series, this book can (and should) be read as a stand-alone. The writing was okay. Nothing new here, and while it was billed as an erotica, I wouldn't agree. To me, it seemed a step above a typical romance novel. For $.0.99, I wish I had gotten more for my money, which is why I'm happy to stop at this first story. If the next few were cheaper (or free) I might consider reading more, but I'm good.
What do You think about The Offer (2000)?
If the next one is this short I might read it as well.
