Looking at her reflection, Deanna can barely recognize herself. She’s used to being pretty, sure, but the brunette sitting at the hotel bar looks as good as the $800 heels she’s wearing–she knows this because of all the stares she gets from the men around. Not that they have a chance; she has a good husband and a comfortable life waiting for her on the other side of the country. Question is, can the woman in the mirror remember that?
A nice erotic short. With just enough back story & intrigue to have you wondering how it will end or what will happen next.
While the execution of the story & the dialogue is on point, I didn't really care about the characters involved. And up until the "Reveal Twist" I was really starting to not like the heroine.
This is a hot read, I just think cos I didn't care about who all this hotness was happening to, it didn't affect me. You know, when your heart beats a little faster & your breathing increasing a bit? You just have to know more about these people you're reading about? Yeah, that didn't happen for me.
But If you're looking for a short erotic read with just enough mystery & intrigue, I would recommend you look here.
So I can’t really say too much about this without spoilers. So just a few facts.
A very short tale of a lawyer wife away from home. The writing is flawless of course even though this is probably the shortest book Kenny has ever written.
Don’t read any reviews if you really want to enjoy it. Not knowing is the fun part. Without the surprise it’s just doesn’t really work.
This is a fun little erotic about a big shot female lawyer, who gets picked up by this mysterious man at the bar. He thinks she's taller than on tv, then he notices the heels. It was the best $800 she had ever spent. He does her right, all night long. Then the next day, they both have questions and want more.
Deanna Adams sits at a bar in LA, stunned that so many men seemed to be watching her, wanting her. A nice little story, that just manages to introduce the main characters before it reaches its conclusion. Well written, as you would expect from Kenny Wright, nice way to while away an hour or so, but it did leave me feeling a little disappointed that it ended so soon. As it was so short, difficult to give it any more than 3 stars
Wonderful writing and a solid plot to this short story. The author did an excellent job crafting character detail, giving them very plausible depth to the story. The heroine's occupation justifying the expensive ensemble as well as the plot setting to set the stage for her getting picked up in the fancy hotel bar by the "stranger".
Definitely adding this author to "read more" given this first sampling I've tasted.
Attorney Deanna in LA for a high profile case finds herself relaxing in the Hotel Bar in her Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes and her Five Hundred Dollar Lingerie. When a male suitor gets a bit too brisket an Adonis steps in to save her. Is he a reporter looking for the next story or a sexual savant looking to push her boundaries.
This was a short read. The writting flowed well. The story takes one path and then does a 180 on itself. I must admit I did not see it coming. A good little hot read for when you have the odd 15 minutes that need filling.
Eight Hundred Dollar Heels, is a short story that takes place in a hotel, where a top lawyer named Deanna learns a different side of herself while playing out a scene during her time in LA on a high profile case...
Review based on a free copy. I had heard about Kenny Wright and found I had one of his books in my ‘to read’ list. I guess the title didn’t grab me. I’m sure I downloaded it for the picture which was all right, but I fell victim t reading catchier covers first.
Ok the Characters - this thing is like 20 pages, there is only so much character development you get in 20 pages. Reading other reviews I don’t fault Kenny for lack of MC depth. He did alright with the pages he used. I too didn’t like the female MC because I felt if she was going to cheat, it shouldn’t be based solely on the man’s looks. Also didn’t like the first male character who came off as a total player. Not sure how he could have gotten around this, but just sayin’ what I felt.
Plot - Reviewers are right, it’s a 'been done a lot’ plot twist, but one you’re ready for to get your HEA ending. Erotica is about the heat and he did bring some heat. It’s just the fire was dampened by my first impression of the characters involved.
Over all I feel authors put freebies out so you can sample their writing and decide if they have the chops to get you to part with your money. I think he did this with his free sample. For that I give him five stars. But this should be a review of just the story so people know if it’s worth the time to read it. For this I give it less stars, good writing of a used plot with characters who start out less than likable.
It was a bit interesting. I knew from the beginning it would be her husband. If you like a pretend roll play between husband & wife. You will enjoy this little short

An excellent short novella. Hot, loving, and fun to read. I love his sense of choreography. It’s easy to understand what’s going on. Really well written with vivid characters.
Okay first off the MC is a complete B**** who is rude and judgemental. And just the sentence "She had been with her husband a while but never strayed" made me hate her even more.
But although this B**** is crazy and possibly stupid I still like her and the story. Holy moly she isn't the B**** I thought she was.. Cool Story Great Ending and I love the surprise in the story. I love it when an author can shock me in such a little amount of time.
The premise of the story was fun, though it was sort of rushed to the point some of it was confusing. Tons of editing errors, such as "Deanna found her feet and offered her his hand. He didn't take it immeadiately..." {typo included in the text} It really throws me off when stuff like that isn't corrected.
A little more effort on the editing and fleshing out the story instead of hurrying to the twist like an over-eager teenage boy, and this short story would have garnered 5 stars instead of 3.
