You'll love these new characters....

Mixing a little mystery and drama, Blind Ambitions is a peek into the struggles, ambitions, lessons, and lives of Desi, Bettina, Sharon, Steve, & Randall. They are all in Hollywood trying to make it..one way or the other. Their dilemmas are spicy, the solutions are steamy, and the overall outcome is...well, you'll just have to read the book to find out!What I like most about Blind Ambitions is the colorful ensemble of characters. Lolita has a gift for creating spicy and unique characters that arouse our curiosity, tickle our funny bone, and lure us into their lives and battles.Blind Ambitions has something that interests everyone. This clever novel shows that Lolita is a versatile author, whose writing spans multiple arenas. Lolita still maintains her 'in your face', 'tell it like it is' voice, but she just adds a different flavor to it.Blind Ambitions is a fun and entertaining read with vivid situations, sassy language, colorful characters, and a stellar storyline.

Nothing Blind About These Ambitions!

Lolita File's Blind Ambitions is a fast-paced, quick read. I started this book and didn't think about doing anything else until after I read the last page. What a whirlwind week in the life of Hollywood heroines! From the prologue, I was hooked and glued to the pages trying to figure out "whose child is it". File takes us into and behind the scenes of Hollywood with AA movers & shakers. The reader is right there experiencing the dreams, disappointments, and secrets of Desi, Bettina, and Sharon. But let's not forget about secondary characters Meredith and Devin who added much spice and drama to the storyline. The storyline has a little bit of everything for every body-love, lust, power, politics, money, backstabbers, manipulators & schemers-and you will turn the pages quickly to see what's going to happen next. Blind Ambition is my favorite book by Ms. Files; her writing does continue to get better & better. However, I have to admit that I too was slightly disappointed in the ending(everything was a little too neatly wrapped up) and I was big-time let down/disappointed/upset when I discovered the identity of the anonymous character in the prologue. I figured out the identity about half way through the book and I was so disappointed that it was that particular character! When you read the book you will understand why. That said I still recommend Blind Ambition for an entertaining afternoon read. Blind Ambitions is well-written with a plausible storyline, good character development, vivid imagery, and off the hook plot twist and turns that will catapult you right over the edge and have you laughing out loud and talking to the characters. Check out this provocative, entertaining, page-turner today!

I read this book in two days

I became a fan of Lolita Files' after I read "Scenes from a Sister" and "Getting to the Good Part". I became hooked on her realistic characters and fast paced writing style. With "Blind Ambitions", I did not know anything about the book, before I brought it, with Ms. Files, I did not need to know, I trust that she will keep me entertained and she did not DISAPPOINT. I felt that the story was very timely, given the boycotts and disscussions regarding people of color in the entertainment industry. I felt for these charaters, I laughed with them, cried with them and cheered for them. I will tell anyone who will listen (and those that won't) to get this book. You go Girl!,when is the next book coming out, I can't wait.

Lolita is AMAZING!!!

I could not put this book down!!!!!! I thought this was going to be similar to Scenes and Getting to the Good Part... boy was I wrong. Ms. Files has outdone herself with Blind Ambitions. I suggest everyone run out and purchase this book. Lolita, you are very talented and I hope to be able to meet you in person one day to let you know just how much pleasure I get from reading your books. They always take me on a different adventure.

five stars just isn't enough!

i must give lolita files all the respect she deserves for this wonderfully crafted novel. i must say, this is my first novel by lolita files, and i can guarantee you that it most definitely won't be the last book i read by her...not by a long shot. i tell ya, in between the hilarious, and some what controversial plot line, i became a fan of lolita files...this is more like an omar tyree type flyy girl all grown up (better than the current sequel of course) with a waiting to exhale type of twist. believe me when i tell you to pick this bad boy up...you WILL NOT be disappointed!
