"Fun, contemporary Cinderella tale continues the mystery of the sexy Black Stockings Society"

Fresh Fiction Review

A Gentleman's Offer

Multicultural Romance | Multicultural African-American

In A GENTLEMAN'S OFFER, dog groomer and business owner Yvette Coulier is resigned to servicing the rich and spoiled. She certainly never imagines becoming one of them. Then she is invited to join the secretive Black Stockings Society. When she meets Nate Blackwell, he makes her an offer she finds difficult to refuse. Thirty days living the life of a wealthy, socially-connected woman— with him as her vale—and then they go their separate ways. Yvette must decide whether she truly believes that money can lead to happiness while Nate, who seeks a less complicated life, decides whether money really changes people. A quick, provocative read, A GENTLEMAN'S OFFER continues the mystery of the sexy, secretive Black Stockings Society. Dara Girard weaves a fun, contemporary Cinderella tale that challenges beliefs about both the abundance and the lack of money. I continue to be intrigued by the notion of a secret society that makes women's dreams come true by way of gifting them with unique pairs of black stockings. My pantyhose have certainly not done anything like that! I enjoyed this second book in The Black Stockings Society series as much as the first, and look forward to more from this series as well as to learning the true secret behind this secret society.

SUMMARY

Will Cinderella for a month lead to happily ever after?

Dog groomer Yvette Coulier dreams of living the life of the wealthy clients she services. Tired of rich men who want fun and games and no commitment, she’s thrilled to get a mysterious invitation from the Black Stockings Society. When she wears her sexy sheer stockings to work the next day, she catches the admiring eye of Nate Blackwell…

Nate craves a taste of the simple life, out of the spotlight and away from all the demands and obligations taking a toll on his sanity. So he makes this sexy siren a deal: he’ll introduce her to the upper crust she longs to rub shoulders with if she lets him pose as her valet. Soon this fairy tale has a twist when passion forces them to take off their masks…to expose their hearts.
