off the hook

this book was so good it is my seconcd time reading it an omg !!! it's offical but i think the author needs to make a sequel. it left me hanging i want to kno if they made or is Lenox is still up to no good. i think everybody agrees with me to have a sequel shud come out ASAP!!!

Did they get back together?

I really enjoyed this book. I found it very interesting. I started reading the book at 8:30 p.m. and finished reading it at 2:45 a.m. I kept reading it thinking, How can Farrah let Lenox get away with this stuff. I felt so much anger towards the French girl. I mean was she a 304 or what? The aunt was pretty ruthless as well. I could not believe the relationship between Lenox's mother and father. His mistress was leavning in their home? No wonder Lenox was like he was? He got it from his fater. I really felt that Farrah's mother really pressured her about being with a man. Overall the book was very good! I really like the part when Farrah gave that french girl a good butt kicking. That was over due! I have a question did Lenoz and Farrah get back together at the end? Did she accept his proposal?

USE me or lose me!

This book was good and very interesting! It was full of steamy sex scenes, drama and an awkard relationship between a high maintenance woman name Farah and a wealthy, ladies man name Lenox. If you're looking for a fast paced story with lots of drama get this one! LOVED IT! I will be reading more from Maryann Reid. FIVE STARS NO DOUBT!

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!

I wish I could give this book 6 stars. After my bookclub, Girlfriends are Reading read it a few weeks ago, we were amazed that we hadn't heard about it until an email. This book is definitely a diamond in the rough! Out of all the books on the bestseller list (Essence), I have to say that this far outweighs most of the fiction titles. The book was written in an easy style, with few if any errors I could remember. From the moment I picked it up, I was taken away on a roller coaster. It wasn't a bumpy, rickety ride, but one that took me up, up, and away! The plot flowed smoothly, reaching its highs and some lows, making me want it more. The characters Farah and Lenox were unique, and dynamic. I almost became jealous of Farah for a minute! I mean, really jealous, and sided with Lenox. I was angry at Farah and even stopped reading for a few hours, until the book called me back. I actually could picture the scenes in my mind playing like a movie. Especially, the party and sex scenes. And this book was the bomb. I have already placed my Christmas order for friends. It was a refreshing read that showed a strong black woman handling her man, her business, and herself in a way that I can learn something from. And Jamaican Lenox, wasn't too bad either.

Excuse me....

But this book is hot. Ever time I think it is slowing down it picks up. And it picks up fast....I think the trips to St. tropez and Jamaica make it even hotter. And that sexy Lenox...he is finger licking. This is better than Reid's first book! Which was OK.
