Stockings Required-Tales of a Cigarette & Candy Girl

Self-Published

Community Rating

Description

After growing up adopted in the quiet suburbs, 26-year-old Pale is still struggling with identity and career. On a dare from her best friend, she takes a job as a cigarette and candy girl in San Francisco. Some of her customers are downright scary, others a delight … all of them high-maintenance and ridiculous.

Felix, one of the company drivers that she lusts over, is either coolly distant or unnervingly protective, depending on his mood, but insists he just wants to be “friends”. His bravado won’t hide his secret for long; Pale’s determined to find it out.

And if that wasn’t stressful enough, the Fates weren’t even kind enough to warn her of the worst, still to come. Some answers may lie in a letter from her mother, but how can she trust it won’t make things worse?

So... let me first say that it is obviously apparent that this story is being written by a professional... The plotline, the character building, the world, all of it is extremely smooth and pulls you right into it. Additionally, I have thus far, in ten chapters, not had to make a single edit suggestion for spelling, grammar, sentence/paragraph structure, or anything! That is an extreme rarity here on Rotal Road and is something to be celebrated.
This is completely slice of life, and while some of the adult themed tags are present, thus far I have not really seen anything that would truly warrant their need. Perhaps in the future we will see more. It is early days yet and I look forward to see where the main character takes us on her exploration of the San Fransican Night Life.
This story is not action packed, it does not have werewolves or vampires, it may not seem sexy at first glance, but let me tell you that it is indeed sexy! It does indeed have action, if of a different nature, and it is well worth the time to read. Five stars in all categories... and yes, it truly deserves them!
