Everyone in Nashville knows Nathan Dumont. That’s what happens when you develop half a town and sleep with the rest.Four years ago, his fiancee disappeared.Last night, he proposed to me.I’d wanted to escape my life, the seedy strip club and the mountain of bills. I had seized the opportunity to live in a mansion, fill my days with country clubs and caviar, my nights with romance and sex.Maybe I … romance and sex.
Maybe I should have done my homework first.
Note: This book is an expanded and revised version of Mrs Dumont, which is no longer available for sale. It contains filthy hot scenes, voyeurism, a dominating alpha male, and a plot you won’t be able to step away from.

Excellent. One of my go to authors … can’t miss with one of her books.
Trophy Wife is about an arrangement between a stripper and a wealthy businessman. There is no love or romance in the arrangement just sex.
Candace is twenty-six year old stripper working her way for her fathers care. Her mother passed away four years ago leaving her father in her care. His medical bills are piling up, yet Candace is determined to continue his care. As a stripper Candy has one rule for herself No sex with the clients. When Nathan requests Candy to join him in the VIP room she is willing to break her No Sex Rule.
Nathan Dumont is a wealthy businessman who walked into the strip club requesting Candy. Nathan has certain sexual needs where only Candy can provide in the VIP room. After a nine months of requesting Candy Nathan offers her a business proposition of marriage. This fake marriage of convenience is a business arrangement for sex. There is no love.
Candy needed an escape and he provided the perfect remedy. After all he is devastatingly gorgeous and her attraction to him is undeniable.
Trophy Wife contains graphic explicit exotic sex scenes that will melt your panties off. If there is one thing that Alessandro is a pro at is her sex scenes. Those smoking hot, blushing scenes that cause friction to build between your legs are extremely hot. If you desire sex, cheating, demanding dominant male characters, and feisty female characters then take a ride on the wild side with Trophy Wife. Trophy Wife is a sexually driven story with the queen of erotic words behind the wheel at full force,
Trophy Wife is a re-release of Mrs. Dumont or formally known as The Dumont Diaries. My original read was the Dumont Dairies. With this re-release I invested in the audiobook of Trophy Wife hoping this version wasn’t too far off to follow along. It’s an abridged copy with some revisions, yet still easy to follow.
Narrators:
Trophy Wife is a high quality audiobook performed by two of the best narrators in the business. Aria Collins and Will M. Watt provide a sensual duet performance that is stunningly delicious. Both performers narrated with great energy and expertise.
I read this book originally as The Dumont Diaries and gave it 5 stars. Alessandra, the gorgeous supremely talented author decided she could do better and gave it some extra bedazzle. I guess that means it now needs a billionty stars. And it is so worthy of them.
The sex is hell fire hot, but it isn’t one of those books that’s just about sex – boy meets girl/boy shags girl/fall in love/ HEA. Trophy Wife has twist, double twist and spank me – it has Nathan Dumont. A man of few words – DANCE. I’m dancing! SUCK. I’m sucking. Let Drew watch, ok. Nathan is one of the hottest book boyfriends ever to grace the pages of a book or kindle as it were.
Candace Tapers is at rock bottom, she’s seen Pretty Woman, she knows Richard Gere isn’t going to take her to polo and lay like broccoli but Nathan Dumont will whisk her to the Bahamas and ensure her nail colour is always nude.
I loved it yesterday. I love it still. Always have, always will.
“This guy is too young to be my love story, you handsome, too perfect to have any part in the rest of my life. His type marries blue blood heiresses who keep their cardigans clean and their sex cleaner.”
“I will not love you. I will have no use for you other than sex and photo ops.”
“Lust is a dangerous thing. It can seduce your mind and lead it blindfolded to the cliff that will be its demise.”
I LOVED everything about this book! It was sexy and H-O-T-T. It was swoony and captivating. I liked the uniqueness of the story line and I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to know why things were happening and I wanted feelings to get involved! Such a great read! Highly recommend.
What would you sacrifice for love? Would you give up everything you knew; even as it might have been a crap existence as Candace paints. Would you be able to give up your pride, feeling a sense of abasement that even stripping never gave to you? Could you change the tenets of who you are at the core of your soul? Could you live with the knowledge of being unable to live without the one thing you crave, that you need, in order to give someone else what they have to have? What is the value you place on love? In Alessandra Torre’s Trophy Wife, you find yourself asking these questions and many others. I didn’t find it an easy read. I found it a gripping one. To me, the Dumont’s are no one’s classic H/h. What they will do is make you look at the question of why the author told the story the way she did. Angsty, passionate and ultimately rewarding.
**spoiler alert** MMM, this is a hard one, on the one hand, I very much enjoyed Trophy Wife and on the other, there was some real no no’s that totally turn me off when it comes to erotic fiction.
This is the main reason I’ve marked it down in my ratings.
Now obviously what sinks my ship may float your boat and more, we are all different and you may find my reasons don’t bother you at all.
Now there are gonna be some teeny spoilers ahead as It’s major unavoidable if I am going to explain why I’ve marked this down.
My major hard limit
CHEATING!!!!!
and not only cheating, the fact that no one’s really bothered and I know this may seem a bit boring, but I like my Lover & Lovee to save the honey for each other, no excuses, no we were on a break and definitely no contact of any kind whatsoever, no exceptions and that means kissing also.
Why you might ask.
BECAUSE THERE MEANT TO BE BLOODY IN LOVE!!!!!!
or getting there at least and I’m a die hard romantic like that.
So yes no bodily contact with others while still being as filthy as downright sin is the flavour I like to see in my reading.
So, of course, this is where Trophy Wife let me down a bit, I maybe could have overlooked this if either Nathan or Candy had got their knickers in a twist diva style or something to that effect, but no let’s brush it under the carpet like it never happened, and yes it’s still cheating in my book when he takes his ex-girlfriend back and sleeps with her while still being married to Candy.
So the poor boy needed to get his leg over with his ex to decide he’s in love with his wife geez!!
What happened did a shag unlock his brain.
And I do know that Candy is not exactly innocent either, They both behaved like a pair of absolute bloody pillocks in my opinion.
The second thing I had an issue with was the car incident. I have nothing against voyeurism at all but when Nathan gets candy to perform a certain service for his business associate and calls her a derogatory name in front of him well this wasn’t hot or sexy one iota I was cringing in shame for the poor girl, awful behaviour.
The third and final thing and it may seem a tad silly but it’s the name CANDY!!!
I hate it, it sounds like a stereotypical strippers name, which I know Candy is, but couldn’t the poor girl have had something more sophisticated than Candy.
Despite my above bugbears, I really did like the rest of this book. It was mucky as hell and hot hot hot.
The story flowed brilliantly and I especially loved seeing the inner thoughts of both Candy & Nathan.
I feel that we needed to see inside Nathan’s head as well as if I hadn’t I don’t know if I could have warmed to him at all.
He was such a dominant man, his vulnerability was so well hidden that it was his musings inside is own head that showed he had a softer side.
Trophy Wife by Alessandra Torre gets a three & half from me a great read with some issues that for me are just personal preferences.
You they might not affect at all.
Trophy Wife is currently free on KU.
