not one of the best I have read from Jasmine Haynes
May 31, 2021
it's been probably a decade since I read it, but I'm fairly new to goodreads so I'm going back and adding books I've read over the years. My wife was always into historical romance, so I bought her this as something a little different, but a hot read. A couple years later when the world was hyping up the Grey books I didn't get what all the fuss was about because there's a lot better erotica out there than E.L. James' cash cow.

really enjoyed the differences between each story, great short stories to loss yourself in

The stories I rated as follows:
**** The Girlfriend Experience (it was almost a fairy tale escape - well written)
**** Payback (Decidedly not fair! He gets her an anklet to wear for dinner, and she puts it on an unidentified ankle?!? It actually means something if she puts it on the right ankle, and has since at least the 1970's) 4 Stars, that anklet prank really annoyed me! I really wanted to know which ankle!
**** Triple Play
Not my usual set of reads. Too normal/vanilla but excellent nonetheless, and I'm very much not sorry I dabbled into the vanilla.

YOURS FOR THE NIGHT
All three short stories were okay. Not my favorites by Jasmine Haynes.
The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict these stories.
She was raised to believe that the only measure of self-worth is money, being a courtesan gives Marianna Whitney value beyond her wildest dreams in “The Girlfriend Experience.” She discovers a world where she holds the key to unlocking a man’s fantasies—until one of her “dates” opens her eyes to the delight of complete surrender to her own fantasy...
After being devastated when her husband leaves her for a younger woman, all Dominique Lowe wants is “Payback.” Becoming a courtesan and having her pick of men is the perfect revenge. But when she meets a man determined to resist her, she wonders what she’d be willing to give up to make him hers…
In “Triple Play,” three divorces have taught courtesan Noelle St. James that her sexual appetite is far too insatiable for any one man. But even she is shocked by her newest patron, who wants to prove that one man can give her everything she needs…

This was another fun book with the Courtesans, one where the stories deal with the women that do this. Each of them has their own reasons, they are a vast range in age, but what they all have in common is that even with this job they are still looking for one guy that can keep up with them and live with their chosen profession.
The first story has the innocent, the second has the jaded lady, the last one a hopeless women yearning for someone that can play like she can. Of these the middle story struck me a sad, she really couldn't accept Gabriel and almost lost a good thing.

Ms. Haynes tells 3 stories about either a Courtesan or a client and why they do what they do, why they need Courtesans' services. Each story and the characters are well-developed, believable, emotional, thought-provoking, and leaves you feeling like you understand totally. And they are hot and steamy! I highly recommend this book and the following books. I read all three books this weekend and was very sorry that I am finished.

I love a good raunchy story about a woman not afraid to embrace her sensuality and sexual needs, but somewhere in each of these novellas the women went from strong to insipid. The stories were hot, but by then end I disliked all three women. I hovered between rating three or four stars.

Outstanding! All three stories in this book by Jasmine Haynes were very well written and enjoyable. Very steamy, lots of non-vanilla sex, but not so much that it detracted from the stories. I loved it.

Three women who become modern-day courtesans to not only earn money but to fulfill their desires to be with several different men. The three stories were well written. Characterization was well fleshed out for novella length stories.

This book was just ok for me, that disappoints me because I really enjoyed her other books with short stories.

Obviously another one of my adult erotica novels. Fast read, detailed, and sexy!

2 of the 3 stories were great! 3rd was a little over the top.
