Editorial Review:
The lives of three dynamic characters -- a stripper, a desperate housewife, and a sexually addicted husband -- become intertwined in this scorching thriller that takes fatal attraction to a new level, revealing the extreme risks of falling in love.
Exotic dancer Chanelle Lawson is ready to exchange pole dancing for a more traditional life with the perfect guy -- but soon realizes that the man of her dreams may be her worst nightmare.
After three years of a failing marriage, Dayna Reynolds feels unattractive and unloved -- and vulnerable enough to easily succumb to the advances of an enigmatic stranger.
Although Reed Reynolds socializes with members of an elite society, he hides a shocking life -- a life so sordid it jeopardizes his marriage, financial stability, and any chance of a successful career.
Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: An ok read! Comment: This book was not what I expected! It moves too slow. The author took too long to get to the point of the book. I wanted more and the author did not give me more. Now Reed on the other hand was something else! I will not be reccomending this book to anyone. Customer Rating: Summary: good book, messed up ending Comment: I really liked this book, however, the ending did not fit. It seems Ms Hobbs rushed the ending to the point she and the editor missed some of the facts. I agree with another reviewer when she said Buttercup had just gotten out of jail but told the police she had been locked up for days in Reed's house. The other thing that was messed up was the book never revealed how Buttercup found out about Reed stealing the money from her grandmother. She was truly a bold crack head to go breaking into somebody's house by herself in a neighborhood she knew nothing about. And why wasn't Buttercup living with her grandmother in the first place? Who was living with her before Buttercup moved with her, since she seemed to be in bad shape already? There were quite a few other things that happened at the end or should I say did not happen at the end that just put a damper on the entire book. The editor should have caught them. Customer Rating: Summary: Dangerous Comment: I found this book to be a bit confusing, I think the author combined about four short stories into one book. The character Reed was so sick and twisted that at times I had to skip through his parts. This was truly a disturbing book and I should warn you the title is much better than what the book truly is about. I haven't given up on the author though I will try one more of her books and then if it's like this one.... Well let's just say it's a wrap!! Customer Rating: Summary: New Allison Hobbs Fan... Comment: I was interested in this book due to the Zane affiliation. I enjoyed this book and I can now say that I am a fan of Allison Hobbs. I looked forward to seeing what wild and crazy things Reed would do next, he has major issues. I read this book in about a week, there was enough going on that made me WANT to keep reading. I look forward to reading other books by this author. Customer Rating: Summary: I love Allison Hobb's Books!! Comment: Allison Hobbs is a wonderful writer! If you haven't read at least one of her books, you don't know what you are missing. I have read every single one of her books, can't wait for her to write more! This book was a great book that totally engaged my attention and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I was so happy for Dayna in the ending. Reed was CRAZY!! This story could be anyone's story. A definite must-read. Loved it! Can't wait to read Hobbs' next book, "Bonafide Golddigger." I am RUNNING to the bookstore to get it her writing is so good! No disappointments here!
