Waitress Hotel 1953

A beautiful young girl, eager for love, finds herself plunged into a whirlpool of demanding men

From the back:

There Are Things A Girl Has To Do… and whether she liked them or not, Gracie knew that she would do them.

There was the shabby Marine Inn, with its run-down bar and dance floor, its dark little rooms upstairs. But the place needed a waitress… so Gracie took the job, because…

There was Joe Bent, the bartender, crafty-faced, leering, his eyes on her young beauty unmistakable in their demands. He needed a partner in evil… so Gracie became it, because…

There was Nick Panos, the boss, tired and drunken, sloppy in his handling of his money. He was just asking to be cheated… so Gracie cheated him, because… 

There was Dirk Halsey, the young stranger, wise and kind, demanding in his own breathtaking masculine way. He was there to be loved… so Gracie fell madly in love with him, because…

Because Of A Burning Need, A Ruthless Demand In Herself That Could Not Be Denied, Even Though It Meant Ruin For A … HOTEL WAITRESS

A private nurse learns the naked truth about men!

From the back:

A Nurse’s Job Is To Pamper And Please Men…
She came into their homes, a private nurse who was well paid to soothe the nerves of rich men, to quiet the fears of lonely women. But Kay Taylor was too beautiful, too inflammable herself, to soothe any man, rich or poor. Wrecked bodies and tortured hearts need healing, and a private nurse is supposed to help them . But Kay, it so happened, had a love-hungry heart of her own. A nurse’s lob is to pamper her patients, especially the men, but Kay needed pampering herself, and as a private nurse she was able to find it, with the husband of one patient, the sweetheart of another . . .

The outrageous account of a light-fingered artist, brilliant drinker, heavy-footed lover and inspired misfit

Heavy-footed lover?

Tom Jones in suburbia, Casanova with a bad liver, Gauguin with no Tahiti, Ulysses on a commuter train. A Don Quixote who stubs his lance on a red-headed windmill… Meet the realest, bitterest, dirtiest-minded, losingest, funniest anti-hero of the year — Brooks (Everyman) Wilson
