Review: Candy Coated Chaos - Book #1 Sweet Treats - Charity B. - February 2018 This book can be deceiving as it might look from the cover colors and pictures and even the title that this is a light-hearted fun read but in fact; it is anything but . This book goes deep in the world of drugs, overdoses and selling yourself for money. Alexander owns his own company and goes from female to female; he doesn't have a connection with any females except his housekeeper and best friend. His use of females is they are there for sex, one night stands and disposable. That is until he spots Tavin coming out of one of his associates Eric's office. She is nothing like he has ever seen before and her voice, she is captivating and alluring. Alexander finds himself wanting her and can't get her out of his head. They go on a date and have sex, and then he finds himself wanting more of Tavin - she's like a drug to him. One thing leads to another, and he di...

Review: The Lost Girls - Book #2 Suburban Murder Series - Alexa Steele - October 2015 In the mood for a murder mystery novel? Detectives Bella and Mack have been sent down to Jamesport after a girl was found badly beaten and unrecognizable in a swamp just down from a sleazy motel. It turns out that this girl was part of a human sex trafficking ring that has been getting girls via the modeling route or a social media site Wazo. Months ago, three teen girls went missing from the Mall. Now Bella and Mack will try to discover what happened to the girls and if they are part of this sex ring to try and save them. What they will discover though is two sets of parents willing to do everything they can to cover themselves even if it means never getting their daughters back. The Lost Girls I found was a bit of a slower read than I wanted as I normally enjoy my mystery novels to be a bit more fast-paced. The one thing that had me going OMG was the ending when one of th...

    Review: Broken Girl - Gretchen De La O - April 2016 Life hasn't been easy for Rose since she was a little girl as she was molested by a friend's stepfather. Often when we read stories like this , we have an understanding about what road they will take and how they become so broken and damaged. For Rose Newton , her life took the road of becoming a prostitute - though she took the route of being her own woman and not having a pimp or someone supposedly looking out for her. One night while out with the girls , she witnesses a guy standing up for one of the new girls Crystal. She watches the interaction intently and he notices her briefly. Turns out that he is the manager of the local laundromat - Shane West. I have to admit at first it was weird seeing his name like this as all I could think about first was the actor Shane West and what happened to him as haven't seen him in any movies lately. Anyway, back to the story - Shane West has been noticing Rose w...

  Review: Naked - Stacey Trombley - July 2015 As readers will know , I am a cover girl and that is what drew me to this book as the cover was so innovative and creative. Who would have thought to create a cover like this to explain Stacey's new book "Naked".  In Naked, we meet Exquisite ,a sixteen year old prostitute living in New York. The first scene takes place in a police station and we learn that Exquisite was in fact Anna - a girl who ran away from home when she was fourteen years old.

The social worker has now taken her back home to her parents, the thing is in Anna's eyes - her life was much better living on the streets than under the thick thumb and ruling of her father whom we discover is abusive towards Anna and her mother.  He enrols Anna back into school and we read how difficult it is...
