Hate to See It End

Anna Marie was a lovable three-dimensional character. As you're reading, you can't help but root for her to get the man of her dreams--Desmond. Although their worlds seem far apart, they have more in common than differences. This last book in the Black Stocking Society ended on a good note. The secondary characters were just as interesting. Anna's sister was something else (you'll have to read the book to find out why). I'm hoping the author adds more to the series. I wish I could get a pair of those black stockings :)

super Black Stocking Society contemporary romance

Anna Marie Williams works as an Information Specialist at the Virginia Department of Health and Human Services. She has two wishes in life: to tell her drama queen martinet boss the "Cobra" to shut up and to spend a night with Desmond Rockwell, her unrequited high school love. Neither will happen though her boss' tirades impact her minimally as she grew up abused by her parents and most of her foster parents. At night Anna Marie is Malika the exotic dancer at Sin Palace. During her last performance in Sin Palace, Desmond shows up and is excited about Malika; he wants to meet her outside of the club, but she is wary of the big hurt once he meets shy Anna Marie. The next day lawyer Glenn Thornberg of Thornberg and West calls to inform her of a surprised inheritance. Anna Marie tells her boyfriend Bruno and her boss she is leaving him and her job. Next she is invited to join the Black Stockings Society and her life continues to improve as Desmond makes it clear he wants her. The fourth Black Stocking Society (see POWER PLAY) contemporary romance is a super tale due Anna Marie, one of the best lead characters of the year. The story line is driven by the heroine who trusts no one including her younger sister Tracie and her inability to tell the truth re Malika for instance may cost her the love of a lifetime. Fans will enjoy this terrific entry as Anna Marie freshens up the latest visit to the Black Stocking Society. Harriet Klausner

End of a Unique Series...

A wonderful ending to a UNIQUE series...I've enjoyed each and every book in this series...some more than others...but as a whole it is very ENTERTAINING...I enjoyed the different cast of characters...and the whole concept of the secret Black Stockings Society was fun, sexy and INTRIGUING...I'm actually sad to see the series come to an end...WELL DONE, Ms. Girard!
