“Talking After Midnight.” In
Plum Orchard, Georgia Marybell Lyman works as a phone- sex operator at Call
Girls. She has the voice for seducing
men though many of her customers would be shocked by her Goth look enhanced by biting
sarcasm. Contractor Taggart Hawthorn is
attracted to Marybell. His attention
scares her as he persistently asks her out and she persistently says no. Though she likes him and his obvious desire
turns her on, Marybell fears once he knows her dark secret, his love will
die. When she finally finds the courage
to tell Tag, Marybell is too late as a cruel person tells him the truth about
his beloved
“Talk This
Way.” In Atlanta Catherine
Butler never takes a respite as she works at any job she can get in order to
pay for her cancer-stricken mom residency at the Oakdale Nursing Home. Cat loses her job at a coffee shop due to an
exchange with annoying Flynn McGrady whose mom also is at Oakdale. However, Landon, who was a resident at Oakdale
where Cat met him, offers her the position of managing his phone-sex company in
his penthouse. She accepts unaware that
Flynn lives in this building too.
Talking After Midnight is an engaging Plum Orchard entry (see Talk
Dirty To Me and Something to Talk About) with two “outsiders” falling in love
while the phone-sex crowd continues to provide culture shock to the rural
residents. Talk This Way is the print version of a delightful
e-novella that introduces readers to Landon who in death shook the complacent
conservative town when he willed his thriving business to relocate there.
