Switching Tracks #2
High Class Harlot
The language in this book is rough, but I feel it's a must due to the setting of the book. If you liked Trailer Park Princess and liked Mando then you already know she is over the top, but she is a lot to take in when it's nonstop. If you don't like foul, crude, mouthy females don't read this book. Trailer Park Princess finished where you could be content simply because Mando's story isn't for everyone. I am well aware of that.
Release Date July 1, 2014
People spend their whole lives being condescending cockstars. Assuming they know something when they don’t. Assuming they know who someone is when they have no idea. Assuming that, because they can see something, they understand it. Let me tell you right now, STOP ASSUMING! Until you walk a day in someone’s gold-studded hooker heels, you do not know them or their story. Do not assume your struggle is worse simply because it’s yours. Do not assume they are ok just because they look to be so. And do not assume you are a better person simply because someone chooses to sin differently than you.
My family has money. We buy what we want without fear of being destitute, and we will never worry about having food or any other necessities. My struggle in life is not with the money, but where it comes from. My father’s secret is carrying a hefty price tag that I can no longer afford. My soul is priceless, and he is stripping it away from me. My world isn’t all rainbows, sparkle, and diamonds falling from my exit hole like Rory’s story portrayed. For every high, there is a low, and the higher you go, the further you have to fall.
I have the best things in life, except for life itself. Everyone I love has moved away; my passion to exist has deflated; my job is a joke; but more than anything, I hate who I am allowing myself to become. Is there anyone strong enough to hold my hand on this road to self-preservation, or am I to travel it alone?
If you start my story, please find it in yourself to finish it before you judge me. Don’t assume you can know where I am headed without seeing where I have already been. I am Amandolette Riaz, and I am a glitzed-up glitch in today’s delicate world.

About the author
Delia Steele
6 books83 followersI live in Mississippi better known as “THE SIP”,were I was born and raised, except for a short time I spent wondering the beaches of Destin Florida. I have two wild and weird (I’m told they take after me) kids, Dominick & Oliviana, who are the light in my life and married to a very patient and loving man named Rob. I work a full time job Monday – Friday in collections (No I didn't call you). I am half Mexican and half American in other words I AM BROWN! =] I enjoy singing extremely loud thou I can’t really, dancing around for hours which I do often, and watching my kids just be kids. I enjoy old music and great books. I am eclectic, and I’m pretty much always happy. I believe we should all have fun sometimes and then when we do something stupid, WE SHOULD WRITE ABOUT IT! If I could be anything when I grow up (yes when I grow up because I currently refuse to) I would want to be a full time superhero. Wear awesome boots, have long full flowing hair, wear my panties on the outside of my clothes (and have it be ok), ride on a magical horse with wings, and save the world. Who wouldn’t want to do that?

I would recommend reading Trailer Park Princess (TPP) before reading High Class Harlot as it is the first book in the series and will give you a little more background on all of the characters. If you haven't read it yet, you are missing out. It is a great story with some seriously funny and swoon worthy moments.
Delia Steele has a talent for writing sassy, strong, mouthy women and she did not disappoint when she wrote Amandolette's character. I couldn't wait to get my hands on HCH. I love how she writes to you, as if her characters are are sitting down with us catching us up on their life over coffee or in this case a vodka.
HCH finished were TPP left off. Rory and Rome are married, they have a new baby R.J, and have moved to Atlanta with both Rory and Rome's brothers. Rory runs The Diner 2 and Rome and Clay are partners running a garage. Toby and Ashley are popping out babies and Amandolette is left behind.
"Strap on your seatbelt, bitches, and get ready for one hell of a ride. If you can't handle it, you may want to jump ship now."
Amandolette aka Mando, was born on the other side of the tracks, she is known as
high class. While she may be known as high class she is far from it. Yes she's
gorgeous and she uses her looks to her advantage. Secrets she has kept bottled up
are holding her back from having a life, living and moving forward. She feels
worthless and doesn't know who she is anymore. Gone is the beautiful girl on the
inside and out, who was care free and loved by all and is now replaced with
someone she herself hardly recognises, she has lost the person she once was. Mando's story id proof that money can't buy happiness.
"I am what people considers a diamond, when the truth is: I am a cubic zirconium
- inexpensive; a knock off; a cheap-ass imitation of the real thing; that flawed
facet that appears perfect to the naked eye, but when you look close, you see
chipped pieces."
Mando loves her best friend Rory but she hates that everyone adores her, specifically Mando's parents. After some choice
words from her grandmother she really starts to think about her life. Grans
words are very wise...
Had enough she heads off to the one place, to the one person who loves her for
her who makes her feel grounded, Clay in Atlanta. The sexual chemistry between
them is HOT.
Clay can read Mando's like no one else he knows her insecurities and doesn't
understand how some one like her can have them, for him it makes him love her
more. He wants to take the next step with Mando but as usual she gives him the
run around. Why can't she take the next step, know what it likes to be happy and
move in with him? I loved Clay's character...so strong and loyal. Always there for Mando even when she wasn't there for herself.
Mando puts herself through the ringer, hitting rock bottom before she is on the
path of self discovery, acceptance and learning to love herself.
This wouldn't be Mando's book without the crazy ass references and her own unique vocabulary that will leave you laughing out loud or blushing like a school girl. Gran is back and in rare form, she is a force to be
reckoned with. But she is a trip and one of my favorite older characters ever written. Like Mando she is not afraid to speak her mind and isn't scared
of using her shot gun.
Delia Steele has taken us on a funny, emotional journey of one of life's many
struggles. No one has a perfect life, including those who comes from money and
seem as though they have it all. Mando and Rory are among our favourite leading
heroines. We love sassy, mouthy, speak their mind type of girls and Mando is
definitely one of a kind. Mando and Rory are best friends and in this book you
can see why.
Mando's journey isn't an easy one. It is difficult to see someone with so much potential being so self destructive. My heart broke for both her and Clay. This book is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and swoon all in the same chapter. I am very much looking forward to see what Delia comes up with next!

TITLE~ High Class Harlot (Switching Tracks #2)
AUTHOR~ Delia Steele
GENRE~ New Adult-Romance
PUBLISHED~ July 1, 2014
PURCHASED/COST~ ARC for Review
MY RATING~ 5/5
I chose to read this book because I loved the first one in the series and I was provided with an ARC for review.
High Class Harlot was an amazing second edition to the Switching Tracks series. In my opinion, this book is even better than book 1, Trailer Park Princess.
High Class Harlot picks up right where Trailer Park Princess left off, but in different POVs. We still get a lot more of the characters from the previous book and that's awesome! We got to go on an emotional roller coaster throughout this story. The main character's story is no fairy tale for sure. It's real and it's rough.
Delia Steele did a great job writing this book as well as the one before it. I can't wait for more of this series!

We know her as the best friend who has it all, but sometimes those who smile the most, are the ones who's covering up a world of hurt.
This is Mando's story
"I'm a high-class harlot, motherfucker."
Amandolette has it all. Her parents are rich, she's beautiful, she has the money for whatever she wants, but Doll's it's all a cover.
Her life is spiraling, it has been for a while. She's full of hatred to those who love her most. She's lost, and finds herself at the bottom of the bottle... Not the person you thought she was, huh.
"I'm just a trashy girl in rich butch clothing."- Mando
She's been holding a secret in for a while, one that makes her the way she is. It's eating her from the inside out. It's destroying the person she was, but she has to keep it to her self.
"i just want to be worthy of being loved."- Mando
Pushing everyone who loves her away is what she's doing. They don't know this Mando, shit maybe they never knew her at all... She hardly knows herself.
Crossing the tracks, she'll end up where Rory escaped from, falling down the rabbit hole.
Can she find the Mando she wants to be, can she ask for help, or at least say she needs it? Will pushing those who love her away hurt her more than she would ever know? This is Mando's story and she's ready to tell it.
#buckleupbitchesandenjoytheride #letsfindthatsparkle
High Class Harlot was more than I thought it would be. Shit, it floored me. We thought we knew her, but honestly we didn't. Not even a little bit. She's hurting, alone, mad and full of hate. Her character is a force to be recon with. Her story has a way of pulling you in and holding you tight. I teared up, I felt for her. You can relate to this character, as you did with Rory. Thats what I love about Delia, she write a story, yes, but we know or we were like her characters at one point in life. It's believable. Poor Clay, I felt for him. I wanted to hold him and his mandoconda! Lol! I loved Gran, that lady is feisty. I want one like her, hell, I want to be her in another 30 years. We get a peek into Rory's world and a few of the other characters as well. Like in Trailer Park Princess, I've learned a whole lot of new words. I'm ready to see what else Delia has in store for us, because she rocks me with her books.

Where do I even start. In the first book in the series Trailer Park Princess we got to meet Rory's crazy best friend Mando, this is her story. And I anxiously awaited this one. I loved Mando and here we get to see a different side of her. As she struggles with new revelations and relationships we find her #Sparkle starting to fade. Being as stubborn as she is she keeps it all on the inside and tries to deal with it on her own. Will she be able to bring her shine back? Or will she self destruct and take everyone down with her? And although I love her craziness I was glad to get to know her on a deeper level. The story was well written and I devoured it in NO time. I cannot wait to see what the other stories in the series bring. I like to get to know the character's back story. It really helps you understand why they are, even if you hate them. Ugh of course we have to deal with #DRAMA and #ISSUES but this would not be Mando's story with out it. This is a must read for those who like an excellent story-line filled with twists, romance, and a grandma just as crazy as Mando. And don't forget to #LetYourTacoSparkle

Oh my #F***GWAD!! Delia Has DONE IT! It's been a long Time since i've CRIED/SCREAMED/Laughed at my kindle! I was Lucky enough to get this story before it comes out on the 1st of July! I haven't been this RAW,full of emotions in a Long TIME,Mando's story isn't for everyone, and not for the "faint at heart" or your normal #HEAStory! I fell in love with Mando's Gram, who Reminded me so much of my Late Grandma,Polish/catholic/Pregorie making/wooden spoons finger hittin' back talk gram/momma who made me WHO I AM TODAY because of HER, who passed away(stage 4 breast cancer) two years ago a day before my birthday. Mando's story isn't perfect,it isnt the "HEA story" you're used too. This is real life at it's finest,and you better hold on to your seat baby!!! Someone's life may look "Perfect" but it isn't/ Never judge a book by it's cover! *bowing Down to Delia* This Story won't be for everyone,but it's A MUST READ NOW before i #Slamitdown#yourthroat!!! OK thats as Badass as white midwest girl girl get ;)
June 30, 2014
Delia you have done it again. Mando is awesome!!! I love her vocab!!! This is about Mando trying to find herself and deal with things she feels her friends won't understand. She has to decide what track to take for her life.
I love how Delia has made Mando's problem believable. You can really identify with her and the others. OMG Gran so reminds me of my grandma. With exception of the way she dresses. I love her.
My heart broke for Mando, Rory, and Clay. I also laughed with them, It was a great book You need to read Trailer Park Princess as well if you haven't already.
I cant wait for the next book. #Hurryupalready lol. <3

Fabulous Follow up~
It's a good thing Rory and Mando are girls because dang if they're not neck and neck. Steele has another winner on her hand and I dare anyone to get through this without laughing, crying and everything in between. Follow Mando's misadventures and life lessons. You won't be sorry. And if you're a Switching Tracks Series newbie you best go grab Trailer Park Princess first before YOU become Mando's mouth's next target ;)

Well…she’s gone and done it. Author Delia Steele gave Mando her own book. *shakes head* I don’t know if the world is ready for this much fuckmazingness! Can our Kindles handle the #mandomania held within its pages? In Mando’s own words, “Strap on your seatbelt, bitches, and get ready for one hell of a ride.”
"You may think you know me, but rest assured, you do not know me."
If you read Trailer Park Princess (Switching Tracks Series, Book 1), there’s no way you’ve forgotten Amandolette Riaz and her unfiltered, polluted mouth. *If you haven’t read it, you definitely need to remedy that because it’s great!* In High Class Harlot, we get to see a deeper side of Mando—her struggles, her loves, her losses, her breaking points. She isn’t just the rich, sassy fashionista we knew her to be in TPP. There’s so much more going on behind that thrashing tongue than anyone is aware of, including her those closest to her. Will you love her, or will you hate her? Will you pity her, or will you blame her?
HCH picks up where TPP left off. Rory’s married to Rome, and they have a new baby, R.J. They’ve moved to Atlanta where Rory runs The Diner 2 and Rome has opened his own garage. Toby and Ashley are in ATL as well, popping out babies left and right. Clay followed Rome to Atlanta and works with him at the garage. And Mando is…
"I have searched my entire life trying to find myself, but in my heart, I think I’m designed to be lost."
Secrets. It’s Mando’s secrets that keep her from setting her life on the right course. It’s Mando’s secrets holding her back from true happiness. It’s Mando’s secrets that are threatening to destroy her. We’ve witnessed the fight in her more than once. Question is: Does she have enough?
“Can your Mandoconda come out to play?”
This just wouldn’t be a Mando book without some crazy reference to the substantial…delights Clay is packing in his pants. (Again, you gotta read TPP!) And speaking of Clay’s manmeat… Mando and Clay will set your Kindle on FIRE!
“I dare you to break this crotch!”
See what I mean?! Warning to the prudish: THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU! Eyes and panties may melt from the vulgarity in this book. *eyes turn devilish* But it’s a whole helluva lot of fun!
"Clay is such a beautiful creature."
Oh-so-gorgeous, oh-so-sweet, and oh-so-well-endowed… That’s the Clay we all know and love. And you can’t help but love him. He may not be sex on a stick like Rome or a hot-ass football star like Toby, but he’s still #hotstuff, and he can sling that sex-saber like a Master. (That’s right, Rory; I’m a Star Wars fan, too!) His devotion, his heart, and his patience make him perfect for handling Mando’s bite, fight, and flight nature. But how much can he take? Will Mando push him too far?
“And tell that little shithole if he doesn’t pull those pants up, I am going to take my double barrel, stick it right up his asshole, and…”
Folks, meet two new characters: Gran and Chico. I guess Gran isn’t technically new since we were told in TPP that she lived in the same trailer park as Rory, leading to the creation of #TeamSparkleforce, but we don’t really get to meet her until HCH. And Gran is a force to be reckoned with. Her mouth and libido rival Mando’s, and she’s not afraid to break out the shotgun when necessary. I can tell you before you ever get started reading that Gran is going to become one of your favorite characters from this series. Chico, on the other hand, should come with a gag reflex warning label. His rekindled friendship with Mando is not condoned by anyone, but she keeps him around because he facilitates her walks on the wild side. She feels free with him. But will Mando let it go too far? Will Chico become her point of no return?
“All the fancy shit in this world couldn’t hide the disgust I have inside me…for myself and for you.”
The girl’s got daddy issues! In fact, a lot of the turmoil that leads to Mando’s downward spiral is a direct result of her father’s scoundrel ways. She lets what should be his shame devour her sparkle and leave her empty inside. She worries her loved ones won’t accept her once they realize the lie she’s been living, the secret she’s been keeping, all because of him. She hides the dark truth at the risk of smothering her light forever.
"#reembracethesparkle"
This book is about Mando’s struggle to find herself. It’s some heavy stuff that brings her to that crucial junction in her life, and it’s up to her to decide which track she’s going to take.
Once again, Delia Steele has taken real-life struggles and turned them into an endearing story that will hit close to home for more than just one reader. With High Class Harlot, she proves that even the loudest character can be stifled by her demons, even the toughest bitch may not be able to fight alone. We all have to make choices, and those choices set the course of our lives. I’m elated Ms. Steele chose to give Mando her own book, and I can’t wait to see where she takes us from here in the Switching Tracks Series! #iwantmore
"You may think you know me, but rest assured, you do not know me."
If you read Trailer Park Princess (Switching Tracks Series, Book 1), there’s no way you’ve forgotten Amandolette Riaz and her unfiltered, polluted mouth. *If you haven’t read it, you definitely need to remedy that because it’s great!* In High Class Harlot, we get to see a deeper side of Mando—her struggles, her loves, her losses, her breaking points. She isn’t just the rich, sassy fashionista we knew her to be in TPP. There’s so much more going on behind that thrashing tongue than anyone is aware of, including her those closest to her. Will you love her, or will you hate her? Will you pity her, or will you blame her?
HCH picks up where TPP left off. Rory’s married to Rome, and they have a new baby, R.J. They’ve moved to Atlanta where Rory runs The Diner 2 and Rome has opened his own garage. Toby and Ashley are in ATL as well, popping out babies left and right. Clay followed Rome to Atlanta and works with him at the garage. And Mando is…

You must read Trailer Park Princess to understand this story and its character Amandolette Riaz.
You need to Know who Rory is and Toby, Rome, Clay and of course Mando.
This is Mando's story and its not as pretty as you would think it is.
From what we learned in TPP, Mando is a rich spoiled brat that gets whatever she wants. Its nothing she needs, its what she wants. Her parents own a small restaurant in town. What you don't know is why she gets whatever she wants and her father sees she has all her wants but at what cost? But Mando doesn't want the things her father can give her or does she?
Mando loves to party and DRINK and loves to dress in the classiest way possible. Shes beautiful and has it all. More Sparkles and glitz the happier Mando is. Mando is a "High Class Harlot, motherfucker." She has the mouth of a sailor and don't care who hears what she has to say. She has a very wild and vivid vocabulary. Her vocabulary alone will make you love her. Its one of a kind and only Mando can speak it. She doesn't settle in relationships well at all. She is from the upper class on the other side of the tracks. She lives in a very high class home full of demons. This is why she decides college life will be her getaway where the rest of her friends remain behind and create their own new life. Rory is her best friend and is one that starts a new life and gets the HEA she always wanted but never dreamed she would have. Mando doesn't feel worthy of this lifestyle Rory has.
After Mando comes back from college Rory has moved to Atlanta and runs a chain restaurant from Mandos parents. And Clay and Rome has their own shop. But Mando doesn't go where her love is she goes back home until her demons start to haunt her. She loves Clay but isn't ready to commit to him. She goes and lives with her grandmother in the trailer park. She was always happier at grans than at home. Gran doesn't judge her or push her into someone she isn't.
Mando has some issues to work out. She pushes everyone she loves away and bury's herself at the bottom of a bottle. She needs help and is afraid to ask for it. She's depressed and things at home with her parents aren't the best. She discovers her fathers main source of income and isn't quite happy about it and who he uses to gain his fortune. And she's afraid her friends wont want anything to do with her after they find out who her father is. Her mother stays with him out of fear.
After reading TPP you would have never thought this about Mando.Will Mando get the help she needs? Will she find her own HEA with Clay?
Who is going to help her find her way back to the Mando they all love and care for?
I gave 5 stars for this is true realty in the world. And for the crazy antics of Mando. You cant help but love her. Her filthy mouth and all.If you cant handle the language Mandomainia then you don't want to read this coz its pretty wild. I loved the story and laughed at all Mandos crazy language and the things she does and is as crazy as the author of this story.
Delia has created a true to life story of a girl that's lost and needs help to find her way back to her friends and mostly to herself. I laughed at all the crazy words that she has created for Mando. Mando is truly one of a kind girl! This book kept me captivated all the way thru and couldn't put it down.

Title: HIGH CLASS HARLOT
Series: Switching Tracks #2
Category - Genre: N/A - Contemporary Romance
Recommended for: 18+ due to sexual content and foul language
Grammar/editing: B – a few small errors
Received from: Delia Steele (in exchange for an honest review)
This is the second book in the Switching Tracks series. They do need to be read in order.
If you cannot tolerate inventive and invective language, do not open this book. TPP can stand alone and you do not need to sully your mind. If, on the other hand, colorful, dark, and real do not bother you, then I highly recommend this follow-up companion story.
Do you remember Mando from TRAILER PARK PRINCESS? She is Rory’s BFE (best friend eva). She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but for some reason her grandmother is living in the trailer park while her family enjoys the high life? At the time that I reviewed TPP, I said I would like to read Mando’s story and here it is!
Mando’s family has secrets…the secret of how they have earned the money to live their good life and the secret of what really goes on in the mansion behind the triple gates. The secrets have been tearing Mando apart for years, eating away at her soul until she is left with nothing and nobody. She has lost sight of her own worth. This is a story of prejudices, self-discovery, redemption, and forgiveness. This is Mando’s story, not only of her life, but also her hell and her heaven.
Throughout the book, Ms. Steele has added hashtags related to the events currently existing in the story. I hate hashtags and found them annoying, but even I have to admit some of them were downright funny. Then there is a part of the book when the hashtags are not merely add-ons to the chapter for a bit of whimsy, but actually serve a purpose in that chapter of Mando’s life. What I had at first found annoying was then seen as a writer’s tool to prepare you for this part of the book. Not only does Mando grow as a human being, I grew as a reader. I appreciate that.
Speaking of hashtags,... do you remember a few months ago I said I met the boys from the band Far Young. At that time, I told you that they played a couple of songs that I couldn't reveal titles. This one is going to be huge:

Thank you, Ms. Steele, for another, very well-written story. I could not think of a better way to spend a Saturday night alone that could compete with curling up with one of your books.

What a powerful, strong-willed story I have ever read in my entire life! This story as so much meaning to it, I cannot begin to list them! I am left speechless and teary eyed! If ever you need to be reminded what your means or is suppose to mean to yourself, all you have to do is read this book!
Addiction, in any form, is addiction and it not only effects you but everyone around you. Until you realise you have an addiction and want help yourself, it continues to destroy you and everyone who loves and cares about you. This story makes you think your own life and people you love. The ones who have addictions in your life and all you can do is hope and pray they realise they have it and get the help they need and very much deserve. Thank you Delia Steele for such a powerful series.

I wouldn't recommend reading this book unless you've the first one, Trailer Park Princess. This book is rough with language and X-rated that you have to be ok with. This was also a warning from the author and said Mandos book would not be for everyone. With that being said, I really liked the first book and was curious about the second. This book was about struggling with addictions and that you can over come them.
July 22, 2014
WARNING:
This book is adult rated (graphic, adult situations, language)
If you not read the first book in the series, Trailer Park Princess, you must do so before reading this book. I demand it.
My girl Delia has done it again. We are taken through the life if the colorful Mando! This story is so realistically feeling that will keep you on the edge. I laughed and sobbed while reading this book. Such a great series to read (if you dare #winkwink) BTW grams is the BOMB!

Mando is a total trip. She is loud and outspoken, the total opposite of Rory. Amandolette Riaz aka Mando, has some major issues going on in this book. Read and find out about her problems and how she deals with them. I loved this book and recommend it to all my adult friends. It is an awesome book 2 for the Switching Tracks Series.

incredible!
I loved Mando in the first book, but I absolutely adore her in this one. The hashtags killed me and her grandmother is funnier then she is. We all deal with struggles, even if we all do it differently.

loved this book... it had a strong meaning for people struggling with adfiction.

A really fantastic follow up to book 1. A story that was both funny and extremely sad in places; it really opens your eyes to addiction. A really great series. Will 100% carry on this series
September 17, 2014
Well…she’s gone and done it. Author Delia Steele gave Mando her own book. *shakes head* I don’t know if the world is ready for this much fuckmazingness! Can our Kindles handle the #mandomania held within its pages? In Mando’s own words, “Strap on your seatbelt, bitches, and get ready for one hell of a ride.”
"You may think you know me, but rest assured, you do not know me."
If you read Trailer Park Princess (Switching Tracks Series, Book 1), there’s no way you’ve forgotten Amandolette Riaz and her unfiltered, polluted mouth. *If you haven’t read it, you definitely need to remedy that because it’s great!* In High Class Harlot, we get to see a deeper side of Mando—her struggles, her loves, her losses, her breaking points. She isn’t just the rich, sassy fashionista we knew her to be in TPP. There’s so much more going on behind that thrashing tongue than anyone is aware of, including her those closest to her. Will you love her, or will you hate her? Will you pity her, or will you blame her?
HCH picks up where TPP left off. Rory’s married to Rome, and they have a new baby, R.J. They’ve moved to Atlanta where Rory runs The Diner 2 and Rome has opened his own garage. Toby and Ashley are in ATL as well, popping out babies left and right. Clay followed Rome to Atlanta and works with him at the garage. And Mando is…
"I have searched my entire life trying to find myself, but in my heart, I think I’m designed to be lost."
Secrets. It’s Mando’s secrets that keep her from setting her life on the right course. It’s Mando’s secrets holding her back from true happiness. It’s Mando’s secrets that are threatening to destroy her. We’ve witnessed the fight in her more than once. Question is: Does she have enough?
“Can your Mandoconda come out to play?”
This just wouldn’t be a Mando book without some crazy reference to the substantial…delights Clay is packing in his pants. (Again, you gotta read TPP!) And speaking of Clay’s manmeat… Mando and Clay will set your Kindle on FIRE!
“I dare you to break this crotch!”
See what I mean?! Warning to the prudish: THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU! Eyes and panties may melt from the vulgarity in this book. *eyes turn devilish* But it’s a whole helluva lot of fun!
"Clay is such a beautiful creature."
Oh-so-gorgeous, oh-so-sweet, and oh-so-well-endowed… That’s the Clay we all know and love. And you can’t help but love him. He may not be sex on a stick like Rome or a hot-ass football star like Toby, but he’s still #hotstuff, and he can sling that sex-saber like a Master. (That’s right, Rory; I’m a Star Wars fan, too!) His devotion, his heart, and his patience make him perfect for handling Mando’s bite, fight, and flight nature. But how much can he take? Will Mando push him too far?
“And tell that little shithole if he doesn’t pull those pants up, I am going to take my double barrel, stick it right up his asshole, and…”
Folks, meet two new characters: Gran and Chico. I guess Gran isn’t technically new since we were told in TPP that she lived in the same trailer park as Rory, leading to the creation of #TeamSparkleforce, but we don’t really get to meet her until HCH. And Gran is a force to be reckoned with. Her mouth and libido rival Mando’s, and she’s not afraid to break out the shotgun when necessary. I can tell you before you ever get started reading that Gran is going to become one of your favorite characters from this series. Chico, on the other hand, should come with a gag reflex warning label. His rekindled friendship with Mando is not condoned by anyone, but she keeps him around because he facilitates her walks on the wild side. She feels free with him. But will Mando let it go too far? Will Chico become her point of no return?
“All the fancy shit in this world couldn’t hide the disgust I have inside me…for myself and for you.”
The girl’s got daddy issues! In fact, a lot of the turmoil that leads to Mando’s downward spiral is a direct result of her father’s scoundrel ways. She lets what should be his shame devour her sparkle and leave her empty inside. She worries her loved ones won’t accept her once they realize the lie she’s been living, the secret she’s been keeping, all because of him. She hides the dark truth at the risk of smothering her light forever.
#reembracethesparkle
This book is about Mando’s struggle to find herself. It’s some heavy stuff that brings her to that crucial junction in her life, and it’s up to her to decide which track she’s going to take.
Once again, Delia Steele has taken real-life struggles and turned them into an endearing story that will hit close to home for more than just one reader. With High Class Harlot, she proves that even the loudest character can be stifled by her demons, even the toughest bitch may not be able to fight alone. We all have to make choices, and those choices set the course of our lives. I’m elated Ms. Steele chose to give Mando her own book, and I can’t wait to see where she takes us from here in the Switching Tracks Series! #iwantmore

Oh-so-gorgeous, oh-so-sweet, and oh-so-well-endowed… That’s the Clay we all know and love. And you can’t help but love him. He may not be sex on a stick like Rome or a hot-ass football star like Toby, but he’s still #hotstuff, and he can sling that sex-saber like a Master. (That’s right, Rory; I’m a Star Wars fan, too!) His devotion, his heart, and his patience make him perfect for handling Mando’s bite, fight, and flight nature. But how much can he take? Will Mando push him too far?
“And tell that little shithole if he doesn’t pull those pants up, I am going to take my double barrel, stick it right up his asshole, and…”
Folks, meet two new characters: Gran and Chico. I guess Gran isn’t technically new since we were told in TPP that she lived in the same trailer park as Rory, leading to the creation of #TeamSparkleforce, but we don’t really get to meet her until HCH. And Gran is a force to be reckoned with. Her mouth and libido rival Mando’s, and she’s not afraid to break out the shotgun when necessary. I can tell you before you ever get started reading that Gran is going to become one of your favorite characters from this series. Chico, on the other hand, should come with a gag reflex warning label. His rekindled friendship with Mando is not condoned by anyone, but she keeps him around because he facilitates her walks on the wild side. She feels free with him. But will Mando let it go too far? Will Chico become her point of no return?
“All the fancy shit in this world couldn’t hide the disgust I have inside me…for myself and for you.”
The girl’s got daddy issues! In fact, a lot of the turmoil that leads to Mando’s downward spiral is a direct result of her father’s scoundrel ways. She lets what should be his shame devour her sparkle and leave her empty inside. She worries her loved ones won’t accept her once they realize the lie she’s been living, the secret she’s been keeping, all because of him. She hides the dark truth at the risk of smothering her light forever.

This book is about Mando’s struggle to find herself. It’s some heavy stuff that brings her to that crucial junction in her life, and it’s up to her to decide which track she’s going to take.
Once again, Delia Steele has taken real-life struggles and turned them into an endearing story that will hit close to home for more than just one reader. With High Class Harlot, she proves that even the loudest character can be stifled by her demons, even the toughest bitch may not be able to fight alone. We all have to make choices, and those choices set the course of our lives. I’m elated Ms. Steele chose to give Mando her own book, and I can’t wait to see where she takes us from here in the Switching Tracks Series! #iwantmore

High Class Harlot - Delia Steele
5 stars
We pick right back up where TPP left off. Rory and Rome are in Atlanta with baby RJ, Rome and Clay are running the garage and Toby and Ashley are producing babies like bunnies - ha!
Amandolette, being born high class doesn't mean she has to act like it, right? In her words, "Strap on your seatbelt, bitches, and get ready for one hell of a ride"! She's harboring some dark secrets and has bottled them up for years. They've got such a hold on her that she's not really living a life and moving on. She's gone from being carefree and beautiful to someone unrecognizable to herself, even. After an earful from her Gran she heads off to the one person who makes her feel like she has her feet on even ground. Clay.
Clays loved that girl for so long. All her insecurities, though he doesn't understand them, makes him love her more and wants to move forward with her but Mando.... She keeps him at arms length. Close enough to love the outer beauty but far enough back so that he can't see what she thinks is her ugliness on the inside.
Mando slowly learns that you have to learn to love yourself before you can truly love someone else.

I loved Mando in book 1 and I loved Clay in book 1! But and this is a HUGE but........I seriously disliked Mando in book 2 and Clay came off as a pushover! I loved the story and also loved getting to catch up with all the characters.
But Mando was one of those type of people that couldn't stand not being center of attention! She tried to turn it around on everyone saying that no one loved here! When she had more love around her then she knew! She just refused to see it, she was content with staying in misery town!
Clay on the other hand was a major pushover when it came to Mando! He kept saying he couldn't deny her anything cause he loves her. But there is a limit to that, I mean after so much you have to say NO!
In the end I was happy that she finally got some help, some much needed help. I thought they were going to give up on her if she pushed anymore.
Now the whole Toby & Ashley situation! Wow just wow! All I can say is Ashley had everyone fooled and I wonder why Toby is still with her. He deserves his own HEA after everything his mom put him through, only now its like Ashley is his mom. Scary!

Where do I even start. In the first book in the series Trailer Park Princess we got to meet Rory's crazy best friend Mando, this is her story. And I anxiously awaited this one. I loved Mando and here we get to see a different side of her. As she struggles with new revelations and relationships we find her #Sparkle starting to fade. Being as stubborn as she is she keeps it all on the inside and tries to deal with it on her own. Will she be able to bring her shine back? Or will she self destruct and take everyone down with her? And although I love her craziness I was glad to get to know her on a deeper level. The story was well written and I devoured it in NO time. I cannot wait to see what the other stories in the series bring. I like to get to know the character's back story. It really helps you understand why they are, even if you hate them. Ugh of course we have to deal with #DRAMA and #ISSUES but this would not be Mando's story with out it. This is a must read for those who like an excellent story-line filled with twists, romance, and a grandma just as crazy as Mando. And don't forget to #LetYourTacoSparkle

Name’s Mando. I like Sh$t loud and wrapped in bright colors. None of that walks-on-the-beach kind of sh$t. Dudes sucks, and chicks suck harder- Mando
This book is amazing, if not better than the first. Throughout the entire Trailer Park Princesses I kept thinking “Mando needs her own story”… well I got it and I could not be any more pleased… Amandolette Riaz was well worth the read and then some!!!. This book made me laugh out loud and than a few pages later almost want to cry. Clay has her heart and the relationship is both heart crushing and spirit lifting.
“You’ve got to stop pushing me away every time you are in trouble. Don’t flee. Stay.. Choose me. Accept me. Want me. Pick me, damn it!”- Clay
This book is a roller coaster of fun… I highly recommend it!

I received a complimentary copy of this book for an honest review.
High Class Harlot is the second installment in Delia Steele's Switching Track Series, and let me just say she has done it again. She has written another captivating book. In this book Mando, the lead female character, will have you doubled over laughing one minute and crying the next. This book hooked me from the first page and had me turning the pages as fast as I could read to see what Mando would do next. This book is filled with love, drama, complications, self-issues, and so much more. It's definitely a must read that you wont want to miss. I look forward to the next book from this author.
