Book 1: Louise by Diana Nixon
Book Blurb:
It
doesn’t hurt to dream, unless you know your dreams will never come
true.
Since
childhood, Louise Woods has wanted to become a dancer. The day she
arrives at Le Papillon – a private cabaret club where men come to
enjoy the beauty of women dancing, her life completely changes.
Louise lives in the club and the rules of living and working there
cannot be ignored or broken. Either you do your best to please the
clients, or you are out. No flirting, no secret affairs, just
dancing.
During
her first public show, Louise meets a stranger who pays for the
privilege to have her privately dance for him. He won't let her see
his face, he won't even introduce himself, but he will make an offer
that she won’t be able to refuse. He won’t make any hollow
promises, but he will make her believe she is special…
“I
hate following the rules,” he’ll say, “but I do love breaking
them.”
Will
she dare to risk losing everything she has, just to make the darkest
of the stranger’s fantasies come true? Once the decision is made,
there will be no way back…
My Review:
Louise
is a woman who is both kind and strong; locked away in a world of
little freedom. As a child she grew up in an orphanage under the role
of an evil woman. A place where your best friend could be your enemy.
Where your very survival depended on the amount of money you collect
off of the streets. It was survival of the fittest. How can this
young girl survive in a world such as this? But after an encounter
with a kind man with beautiful eyes she makes a promise that she
intends to keep. No one will harm her.
As she
turns eighteen freedom is at her fingertips. The last thing to do is
to go to a cabaret club called, Le Papillon to see about a job to be
a dancer, but it isn’t exactly what she had in mind and when she
protests the owner, Drew, makes it very clear that he has bought her
and she will work under him until her debt is paid off. The horror is
when he proves that she signed the document herself keeping her suck
there. A trick well played by the orphanage and him. Again she has no
freedom, but the illusion of. At least she loved to dance.
The
atmosphere of the story is beautiful. The scenes are elegant with
layouts that make me want to visit these places. I want to be an
exclusive member to this club. All the characters you come across, no
matter how small you grow to love and hate. And quickly you find that
everyone has a story that Louise can’t help but bring to the
surface. She is a woman wise beyond her years in a world that she has
only known as a cage.
But
there is hope. As a mysterious masked man steps into her life. What
woman wouldn't fall under his spell? And that begs an even better
question, why did he want Louise? And is there more to Le Papillon
then meets the eye?
Diana
Nixon has written a powerful story filled to the brim with mystery,
intrigue, and romance, with a character and a plot that both
captivates and steals your heart. I don’t think I had a moment
where I put the book down. I was just that drawn into it. And the
ending left me both satisfied and breathless, like I had just
experience my first kiss and then I was saying ‘goodbye’.
The
only way you could ever upset me, Diana, is if you tell me there
isn’t a book two. Haha But knowing you there will be one soon
enough. And I look forward to reading it.
Book 2: Louise: A Knew Beginning
COMING SPRING 2016
Book Blurb:
Life
is not always easy. Especially when you are in love with the man
whose life is so much different from yours. Power, money, respect –
these are the things that a girl raised in an orphanage can only
dream about. But sometimes, love is the only power that you need to
get whatever you wish for…
Louise
Woods had always been a fighter. She had known since childhood that
everything has a price. But freedom was the only thing that she could
never have.
Living
in a world of lies and betrayal, will she sacrifice her love to
become finally free?
Or
will she let her heart win?
A new
