I am so jazzed about this story line!! Nicole Williams just writes characters I can slip right into their skin and follow the story as if I were the character. This plot line is fresh, intriguing, taboo-ish, but doesn't come across as taboo! How do you pull that off?!The concept of the Eves, G (an older, sexy woman that gives Mafia bosses a run for their money),a broken heroine who has pulled herself together into this incredibly sexy, calculating, temptress out to help women being run over by their wealthy husbands, and making a darn good paycheck in the process just captivated me. You might think a woman out to set-up a wealthy man, sleep with him, get the picture proof for the wife so she can get out of a pre-nup as a tacky and 'all about sex' novel. So is not the case with this book! I want to be this woman's best friend. I kid you not. The writing is sharp, precise, story so well played out for you it's easily one of the best fiction stories I've read in the genre. Somehow the reader feels the 'real' woman who was heart broken herself, who had been in a similar situation feeling lost and alone. I never once considered not liking this character. Why am I not using her name? Because it changes depending on her current 'Errand' as the jobs are called. In this first book we know her as Sienna and the job she is assigned is perfect to let us know what her life is like, what the Errands are about, and a slight glimpse into the personal torment of her past and what propels her to do this job. So on to book #2 because I'm on this series like it's Velcro.Fans of H.M. Ward's serials such as the Arrangement series will definitely be interested in the Great Exploitations serials.
