The Maid and the Cook

A Devil's Luck Vignette

“I’m no man’s ‘pretty girl,’ and you know it.”

Brigit O’Creagh knows her way around knives.

She doesn’t know her way around men.

Especially not pirates.

And now there’s this cook.

John Bone.

He’s not laughing. Not sneering, like all the others.

He’s making her blush.

She’s making him think about taking a risk.

❧

The Maid and the Cook is a lusty romp below the decks of The Devil’s Luck, and can be read as a stand-alone story. Climb aboard for dirty pirates, peg legs, and any number of unsanitary ways to behave in a galley. For mature readers only.

“Every word is so fitting in the context of the story, the time it’s set in and as I’m reading it, I’m completely immersed on that pirate ship, in that galley.”

“Ms. Adderly’s writing is brilliant – she uses colorful, descriptive language that keeps to the period without fail, and creates intriguing characters that you come to root for right from the start. This story is romantic and realistic at the same time, and the juicy scenes serve to remind us all that imperfect people can have damn crazy hot sex just like the best of them!”

“I loved this story! Real people in a fantasy world, not the fairy tale couple but the couple that you might have overlooked without Eris Adderly’s expert writing to bring them to vibrant life. Every scene is ripe with development which makes a rather quick read full of spirit! John Bone is the kind of guy you hope you’d run into at the local bar, and he can cook (win!) and Brigit is the girl you’d want to show up at that bar with. Real people who can definitely have some hot, sexy fun! Throw in some pirates, salty talk, and life on a ship? Who wouldn’t want to live a while in this world?!”

“I love this story! Eris Adderly’s writing is always top-notch, but the thing that stood out for me in this story was the story theme – love isn’t just for the pretty people. Bridget is pock-marked and plain, John is missing a leg. These two people don’t think that love is for them, but love finds them, nonetheless. The book was sweet and steamy, and an excellent, page-turning read!”
