Publisher Description
From a captivating voice in African American women’s fiction comes the scintillating, fast-paced story of a woman caught between love and lust, loyalty and betrayal—while trying to stay true to her heart.
When Melanie Sparks befriended local strip club owner Cecil Patrick, she knew her association with another man would put her relationship with her long-time boyfriend, Michael, in serious jeopardy, but she couldn’t resist the call to the wild side.
Abused by Cecil and disheartened after losing Michael, Melanie found herself on stage at Cecil’s strip club. One performance was enough to convince her that she wasn’t cut out for life as an “entertainer,” but Cecil had other plans.
Regretful of the mistakes she made in her relationship with Michael, Melanie hoped for forgiveness and if possible, a reconciliation. If given a second chance could Melanie be trusted, or is she destined for a life of unfaithfulness?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Grice (No Strings Attached) launches into a commonplace tale of a woman whose libido and eager-to-please personality put her on a merry-go-round of unsatisfactory relationships. Melanie's decision to dance at the strip club owned by charming, manipulative Cecil Patrick destroys her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, Michael. Desperate to escape Cecil's clutches, Melanie shoots him. To her rescue comes debonair Myles Cochran, a police superintendent and serial womanizer. Melanie moves into Myles's home and his bed, moving out when his controlling ways overwhelm her. Reconnecting with Michael, Melanie is buoyed by learning that their camaraderie still exists with Michael, but he's now in a committed relationship with someone else, though readers will be unsurprised when this obstacle is conveniently removed. Melanie's recklessness and the lack of emotional intensity may put off some readers off, and the explicit sexual content can only do so much to help the reader through this predictable story.
