“Love the Black Stockiing Series”

Very enjoyable read...I loved seeing Mary come out of her
shell and to become this woman with a purpose of having all she can have
in her career and in her personal life. She blossomed into a beautiful being,
and I just loved how Edmund becomes her friend, lover, and the man of her
life...Great story!!! Definitely recommended!!!”
“By Invitation Only
“Power Play” is a sweet and charming “fairy-tale”. And despite the “fairy-tale” feel of this story, Ms. Girard still made the story plausible with some of the “real-life” issues her characters had to deal with throughout. I was thoroughly CAUGHT UP in the witty and humorous dialogue between Mary Reyland and Edmund Davis. Edmund came on the scene as a man in TOTAL control of not only his business, but his personal life, as well. And he was DEFINITELY used to getting what he wanted. He was powerful, sexy, arrogant, yet surprisingly he had a kind and gentle nature. Poor Mary, never had a chance after her first encounter with Edmund. After discovering he sabotaged her career plans, he is determined to make it up to her, while attempting to become a permanent fixture in her life. Mary is portrayed as a plain, unassuming, average looking woman, who has been taken for granted in all areas of her life, but upon receiving the invitation to the secret society she decides to take her life back. With her new makeover and her new stockings she's transformed into the bold, assertive and desirable woman she's always dreamed of being. But can she trust a man like Edmund with her heart?!! Or will he up and leave her like all the other men in her life?!! I thought the concept of the secret “Black Stockings Society”, was fun and intriguing. I found the main characters engaging and the secondary cast with their hilarious antics and vivid personalities only aided in making this an entertaining read. Once again Ms. Girard has created a heartwarming and romantic tale. I can't wait to read the next installment in the “Black Stockings Society” miniseries.”
