When I received an email and the opening line read:
Dear Blogger,
We wanted to provide you the opportunity to review Virtue, the summer’s sassy, sultry must-read!
It peaked my interest. I needed a break from my usual reads and wanted something a bit sassy! When the book arrived the cover was a bit “wow” and my husband did a double take.
The book is about two very different women and each chapter is about one of them and they go back and forth.
Susan comes from a wealthy family in the South and went to charm school and was bascically brought up to be a good wife. Candice on the other hand lives in the penthouse suite in Manhattan’s’ best hotel. She is their in-house call girl. But it’s not all about sex for Candice. She pays attention to the psychololgical longings of her clients.
Susan finds out that her life is not what it should be and her husband became a different person after marriage. Candace has to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life until…
Seriously, this is a great book! A must read. I love Susan and Candace and felt very connected to them both. It’s one of those books you don’t want it to end!
Virtue, debut novel by Allison Bassen, available on Amazon and other top retailers, is summer’s hottest new read, and the perfect beach or poolside companion. This sexy, sassy novel chronicles the lives of two very different women—swanky Manhattan-based call girl Candice, and charm-schooled, wealthy Atlanta socialite Susan. The plot builds as this steamy page-turner takes you on an unexpected journey of psychological intrigue and sexual self-awakening.
From the opening paragraph, Virtue hooks and captivates its reader:
No, I’m not a virgin, and no, I’m not a prude, but I have slept with only three men.
The first was my husband. The second was the private investigator I hired to see
if my husband was cheating. The third was my first one-night stand to see how it felt
to have sex with a stranger. Anyway, that paltry number will most likely soar to three
men a day as if it were a toothbrushing or vitamin regimen.
Allison Bassen is a transplanted Southerner, raised in Atlanta, and now living in New York with her husband and three children. When her son read the first chapter, he asked, “This is fiction, right?”
