Keep in mind, The Dumont Diaries holds a special in my heart because it was my introduction to Alessandra Torre.

With her sinful and seductive prose, Torre has readers like myself loving the Trophy Wife, which happens to be a revamp and newly improved storyline of The Dumont Diaries.


It was refreshing and a novel that shows a sexually empowered woman instead of making it seem women are just toys for men to play with for solely their enjoyment.Īlessandra Torre has cemented herself as an author who has perfected and honed in her craft as she vividly delivers a sexy, provocative and highly intoxicating erotic romance. Candy is an uninhibited girl who still ends up having morals and modesty, a conscience AND on top of all of her good traits, she also loves really great sex and doesn’t shy away from her desires, wants or needs when it comes to her body. Too many times the men in these books are dominating shy “good” girls who act inhibited and afraid of their sexuality. This story is definitely a fantasy novel story, but it’s not too far fetched to engage the reader and it’s refreshing that not only Candy, but Torre herself lays the carnal, animalistic desires of women all out in the open and spread eagle in a proud and shameless way. She’s flawed, she’s in a bad place, she probably chooses to get herself way in over her head with Nathan, but her intentions are good and her heart is golden (like all great strippers). Sure, Candy isn’t the example of a perfect heroine, but her dark and twisted insides paired with her sexuality and romantic daydreams make her a lovable and realistic woman. Let’s just say from the very beginning I knew this was not going to be anything like The Ghost Writer was! This book was super hot and steamy, so much do I had to keep reading it fast enough so the pages turning could cool me off! If the future is female, Candy represents what all females should be when it comes to their sexuality-voracious, hungry and unashamed. After reading The Ghost Writer, I decided to read this Torre novel without knowing what the synopsis or genre was.
