  Marianne plans on surprising her boyfriend on their one year anniversary. In an effort to be more spontaneous and the sex kitten that Alan wants, she thinks dressing up and waiting in his bed for him to return from his Friday night poker game is the way to go. She isn't the only one who has a surprise. When she finds herself alone, and caught in a hail storm, a sexy stranger comes to her rescue. (Un)Fortunately for her, he mistakes her for a prostitute based on her state of (un)dress. He seems to be exactly what she needs to overcome her plummeting self esteem.
  
  The author wrote a lovely little fantasy tale with very likeable characters. Rob and Marianne move very quickly (this was after all a 15 minute read), but the passion more than made up for having to suspend disbelief to see them get their happy ending. After this short taste, I would read more by this author.

  I actually forgot I read this book... I started to read it again, and then was like: Oh yeah, I already read this!
  
  It really wasn't that memorable for me, obviously, and it's rather short.
  
  The premise is what really bothered me. "Nice", rich, cute. normal guy picks up a gal he thinks is a hooker because of her clothing.... Now, if that isn't bad enough, she goes along with it! OK, maybe I don't get the "I'd love to be a hooker" fantasy, I guess that is somebody's turn on, not mine.
  
  Then the plot just keeps getting more and more absurd. It got in the way of enjoying the steamy scenes, and yes there a few good ones. It was kinda yucky when I realized this guy thought he was with a prostitute. Nah.

  This was a quick sweet read. The only thing that I could not get passed was how Marianne and Rob met and hooked up. A stranger follows her, pulls up in a car and the next minute it's hailing outside and they are having sex in the car. In my opinion it just did not fit their personalities, occupations or who they were. Other than that, Marianne and Rob had very intense chemistry from the very first touch.

  I'd of given this four stars if it wasn't ridiculously corny! Although, I have to say, I probably laughed more than I should've of given the sheer nature of what was going on. I just...couldn't...believe...it. LOL!

  Very short story. Had potential but unfortunately ended too quickly to really feel it.

  Ugh. Give me a break. Maybe I read this at the wrong time because Marianne just pissed me off something terrible. This book left me so irritated. Marianne seemed a little weak-minded, naive, and immature.
  
  She catches her boyfriend screwing another woman when he's suppose to be busy with work. Obviously that relationship is over, and on the way out the door she promises herself to never let jump into a relationship so fast and with the wrong guy again. So then why in the hell does she jump in the car and pounce on a stranger within hours if her 'heartbreaking break-up'. Furthermore, why is she already falling for this stranger.
  
  I really don't like the whole damsel in distress scene and that was exactly what this was except it wasn't executed properly. I didn't get to connect with Marianne or Rob.
  
  Nice effort.

  Short story where a girl dresses up to surprise her boyfriend - except she's the one who's surprised when she finds him playing dominant to someone else. So she runs out into the storm -- it starts hailing and a regular nice guy offers her a ride. They're grew up in the same part of the state. Of course it's a romance and he turns out to be a very rich nice guy and pays her $14,000 --- well, she did price herself at $10K. But all ends well because he finds her at the school she's teaching and she tell him she's returning back to her hometown. Nothing great but cute little love story.

  This was a great little freebie. A shy school teacher decides to spice up her sex life and surprise her boyfriend only to find him with a woman tied to his bed. All tramped up she runs down the street and runs into a guy who thinks she's a hooker. LOL. Okay... so the story is a little far-fetched, but if you can suspend reality for a little while and get lost in the story it is actually quite good. :)

  Marianna was a twenty two year old virgin, until she met Alan.
  She had a big surprise for him only to be the one surprise, when she see him in bed with another woman.
  
  She run out into the storm where she meet Rob.
  
  This little short read little pretty woman, only she was pretenting to be a hooker.
  
  This was kind cute, but to unreal.

  This was a cute story about a woman who went to seduce her boyfriend only to find him dominating another woman. She meets a guy who thinks she's a prostitute because of the outfit she is wearing. They have lots of sex and feel a connection. It needed to be longer because when you are just getting into the story BOOM " the end" !!!! WTF!

  I really enjoyed this short story. I expected more "using" in an encounter like this, but the characters were very life-like and the ending was sweet. I would highly recommend the fun, fantasy reading!

  This was a sweet short story, a good read if you're stuck waiting somewhere and need a distraction.
  
  Despite the somewhat overused "ooops, i thought you were a prostitute" trope, the story was sweet and very hot.

  A really great hot short read. It was funny that he thought she worked the streets just because of the outfit she had on. I guess she could've told him the truth but who wouldn't want to live a different and life for one night and forget their problems.

  Picked this up as a freebie. Its okay, Maybe 20 percent is actually the story and the remainder is excerpts of other stuff (which I skipped, If I want commercials, I'll watch prime time TV. The story was not very remarkable, it was predictable. Not bad, but nothing to recommend it either. Mehh.

  Quick intro. Unsure about the characters first encounter and how it unfolded. All in all pretty average! I am yet to be blown away by these short stories. A recommendation would be lovely - must fall under the romance category with a powerful storyline.

  3. sweet stars
  
  I liked the short read, yes it's not very realistic but it's called fiction and that's why I read it.
  
  It's a very fast moving storyline, girls bf cheats, girl gets mistaken for prostitute......... I enjoyed it.

  I was disappointed this was such a short story. The writing could've used some improvement, but I liked the character flaws in the protagonist. I want to know more!

  A quick read, which left you me wanting to read more. Other than a lot of typo's in Patricia Ryan's e-books, I've become a big fan of her books.
