Talking After Midnight Book Review

I had never read anything by this author but there was still a book from her in my reading pile that I picked up somewhere.  I am starting to think that some are from the free pile at another library instead of the summer book sales because for the life of me, I don't remember getting this but it was next in the pile and next to read.  Talking After Midnight (Plum Orchard) (English Edition) by Dakota Cassidy was an interesting read with different setting and characters.

Shields up, sugar—things in Plum Orchard are about to get real.  Marybell Lyman is notorious for two things: Her look. The wicked hairstyle, multiple piercings and practiced sneer that say: "Stay back—I bite."  Her voice. The syrupy lilt that's her bread and butter at Call Girls, the prim little town's flourishing phone-sex company.  Hunky handyman Taggart Hawthorn is mesmerized by the contradiction: such sweet tones inside such a spiky shell! He wants to know more about mysterious Marybell, to hear more of her sexy talk—all for himself.  But Tag's attentions, delicious as they are, have Marybell panicked. She's been hiding a long time. She's finally got a home, a job and friends she adores. She won't have it all snatched away by another stupid mistake—like falling in love. So when Marybell's past comes calling, she and the Call Girls will prove no one handles scandals like a Southern girl!

I wasn't expecting anything when I started reading this book but I was quickly surprised when I read that Marybell works for Call Girls, the small town phone sex company.  I thought that it was funny so I kept reading.  There was a great small town of Plum Orchard that this business worked out of and all of the employees stood out like sore thumbs in the strict southern town.  None more then Marybell because she had point colored hair and lots of piercings which scared the old women in the town.  Taggart is a handyman that quickly decides that he is interested in the very different Marybell because she is so very different then all of the other girls.  Find out all of the things that go on in this small town and with Marybell and Taggart when you pick up this book.  I hope that you check out this book and the rest of the series at your local library or bookstore.  I think that you will enjoy this funny story that has lots of heartfelt moments.
