Dirty Girls on Top » (Bargain)

ALISA VALDES-RODRIGUEZ is an award-winning print and broadcast journalist and a former staff writer for both the Los Angeles Times and The Boston Globe.  She was named one of today’s twenty-five most influential Hispanics by Time magazine. Dirty Girls on Top is her fourth novel.  She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with her husband and son.

The Sucias are back in this sexy showstopper of a novel from the bestselling author of The Dirty Girls Social Club. Dirty Girls on Top is all about sex and love—-getting it, not getting it, yearning for it, having it with the wrong person, fighting it from the right person, trying it a new way, giving up on it, and, in the end, if your fingers are crossed, having it come out just the way it should.
