Student Nurse (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962896399)

She Was Tortured by Temptation...and her Flesh Was Weak. Back in print for the first time in over 60 years.

Martha Desmond is a student nurse who loses her viriginity to Jordan Ainslee, a famous, womanizing playwright who is temporarily a patient there because of his drinking problems. They marry and move into his Manhattan penthouse. But it isn't long before his true nature emerges and he begins seducing an actress. So Martha abandons the marriage, escaping to a small town in Florida, where her life takes a passionate and dangerous turn in her pursuit of true love.

"I mostly enjoyed the book. The sex isn't graphic, but Martha was described in a voluptuous way that motivated me to learn more about her. Her torrid relationship with Jordan came to a satisfying conclusion and I genuinely enjoyed the rivalry between the lovers. I think if you enjoy juvenile delinquent-styled stories (Martha is 18-yrs of age) then you will probably find enough to like here." Paperback Warrior
