    In this vivid reimagining of the French classic Les Liaisons Dangereuses, in the summer when Jackie Robinson breaks Major League Baseball's color barrier and a sweltering stretch has Harlem's elite fleeing the city for Westchester County's breezier climes, two predators stalk amidst the manicured gardens and fine old homes. Heiress Mae Malveaux rules society with an angel's smile and a heart of stone. She made up her mind long ago that nobody would decide her fate. To have the pleasure she craves, control is paramount, especially control of the men Mae attracts like moths to a flame. Valiant Jackson always gets what he wants - and he's wanted Mae for years. The door finally opens for him when Mae strikes a bargain: seduce her virginal young cousin, Cecily, who is engaged to Frank Washington. Frank values her innocence above all else. If successful, Val's reward will be a night with Mae. But Val secretly seeks another prize. Elizabeth Townsend is fiercely loyal to her church and her civil rights attorney husband.

    Garlic and Sapphires is Ruth Reichl's riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine anonymously. There is her stint as Molly Hollis, a frumpy blond with manicured nails and an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque. The result: her famous double review of the restaurant: first she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic.  What is even more remarkable about Reichl's spy games is that as she takes on these various disguises, she finds herself changed not just superficially, but in character as well. She gives a remarkable account of how one's outer appearance can very much influence one's inner character, expectations, and appetites.As she writes, "Every restaurant is a theater...even the modest restaurants offer the opportunity to become someone else, at least for a little while." Garlic and Sapphires is a reflection on personal identity and role playing in the decadent, epicurean theaters of the restaurant world.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

    Well, to be honest with you, I have never done this sort of thing before. You know, bring home a law student after a lecture. But the way you look at me and undress me with your eyes. I want to…I want to…I want to do so many things to you. Victoria said. I felt myself become even more excited. The very idea of this sexy, intelligent, hot woman wanting to do things to me, even though I had no idea of what those things could possibly be. I heard myself blurt out hopefully, "Do you want to do sexual things to me?" "Have you ever been spanked, tied up or dominated by another woman before?" Victoria asked. My heart began pounding harder and my eyes became wider. Did I hear her right? She then reached for my hand. I put down my glass of champagne. Her hand was soft, yet firm. I noticed that her nails were beautifully manicured with French tips. She began to lead me upstairs to her bedroom all the while calling me her "good little girl". I desperately wanted to be her good little girl, too, and do anything she told me to do. No matter what it was. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Candy Kross.
