The Rusty Nail [Kindle Edition]

D.C. McMillen (Author)

Book Description

Despite the dim lighting in his rundown bar, Randall sees the seemingly random lives of his customers intersect in the most unusual ways. Why, in just a single day, he eavesdrops on a gay man flirting with his straight boyfriend, spies a Stepford style wife slip into the shadows of a cracked leather booth to join an Italian bombshell wearing a trench coat, stilettos and not much else, and demands a lunatic in search of chocolate milk to vacate his establishment, all the while hoping his slick and skuzzy landlord doesn’t show up to collect back rent.

What Randall doesn’t realize is that, other than their questionable taste in watering holes, these patrons all have something in common. Each one of them will experience a unique sexual encounter that will awaken, enlighten, or perhaps even devastate their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Interwoven Tale of Sultry Mayhem July 10, 2012

By M. Hovermale

Format:Kindle Edition

D.C. starts the story out in a bar named, (you guessed it), The Rusty Nail.

Each chapter she weaves has a character that seems a vignette in and of itself. Each vignette tying into the next or the one before it, until all characters have brushed up against each other, (some quite intimately heh heh), at one point or another. This is a difficult feat as a writer, making certain all lines stay un-knotted and eventually carrying the reader into an understanding of what's being done so aptly for them.

I loved the usage of the vernacular where appropriate instead of 'throbbing member' euphemisms that generally just make me frustrated and jar me away from the reality that I was making come alive in my mind.

I see no other option but to give this a 5-star review as the characters were complex and played true-to-form with a few surprises, (the Irish guy was HOT and took me aback w/the heat index I felt as I read it.)

I look forward to more from D.C. and am a HUGE follower of her blog on Thursdays. (And other days too but Thursdays rock pretty hard.) ;)

The Rusty Nail

D. C. McMillen

A collection of 12 stories that revolve around the day in the life of eight people that had frequented the bar, the Rusty Nail, the night before and what happened to them all in the twenty-four period. Loved this book, it was great in a quirky way. Now the Rusty Nail is little hole in the wall bar where the drinks are cheap and the decor is the same, the lighting is non-existent and for some reason it attracts all the nuts and crazies in town; but to me it seemed that each person that came into this little place found just what they needed at just the right time.

Holly Nelson is married to the landlord of the Rusty Nail, the place where her husband has been bring hookers for the past couple months. She is not sure why, she has done everything she thinks he wants in the bedroom to keep hold of him. But after a chance encounter at the Rusty Nail with another woman, Holly knew who and what she wanted now.

Alexandria is a personal trainer in the exclusive health clue that Holly belongs too. She knows that Holly's husband is cheating on her, she has a client named Ruthie that is the high priced call girl he first used, and she loves Holly dearly. Alexandria's dream having her own health club that caters to woman of all types, she is about to get her dream.

Gianna caught her out of work boyfriend with what she thought was a broad shouldered hooker and went to the Rusty Nail. Unbeknownst to her, she had a stalker fallowing her that day, right into the Rusty Nail, but once he figured out the erotic encounter she and the lady booth she had accidently slid into were having, he left her alone. (She should thank her lucky stars for that one.) That erotic encounter gave her better understanding of her boyfriend's erotic encounter she walked in on, not with a broad shouldered hooker, but with his new best friend the gay artist down the hall.

All in all I loved this quirky little story; or this book with 12 different stories in it. It was fun, laughable as it went from one person perspective of the day to another's and the way the Rusty Nail figured into each of their day. I will definitely be looking for more from this author. Thank you for sharing your 4 star book with us, Ms. McMillen.

This blatant disregard for subject, substance, or style led to many hours surrounded by cereal boxes and technical manuals. Fortunately, D.C. eventually grew tall enough to reach the naughty books on the top shelf and a more sophisticated love of literature was born.

D.C. McMillen is an up and coming author living in Toronto She is the author of several contemporary erotic and erotic humour stories.
