Rate this book
Kaliyah is a drop dead gorgeous beauty who believes in using what she has to get what she wants. She doesn't give her goodies to just anyone though. She prefers wealthy Caucasian men. Brothers are not to her liking. She has a thirst for the good life that she feels they cannot fulfill. That is until she crosses paths with Thrill. Initially uninterested Kaliyah has no words for Thrill but once she finds out about the paper that he is sitting on it changes the game. Will her thirst end up being her downfall?

La'Tonya did a awesome job creating all the characters, but she did an even better job with Kaliyah's character. The 'THIRSTY' description fits her to the tea, because the Chic would do anything for a dollar! BUT Kaliyah is not the only "Get Money Chic" in this book. Her Bestie, Xay, is making a few investments of his own. Not to mention, he has some skeleton's in his own closet that she doesn't even have a clue about! I think Xay may be better at the game then Kaliyah is! ;) Miss. Kaliyah claims she has a preference in the type of men that she likes to sponsor her every need, but when she meets Thrill he rocks her world literally, and she throws that selfish, bougie, stuck up, get money attitude right out the window. The story ended right when everything started to pop off. I want to see which investor comes out rich and who will end up bankrupt!! I'm screaming ENCORE, La'Tonya! ENCORE!

I absolutely loved this short story Thirsty!!! This story was a about a very gorgeous,sassy gold digger by the name of Kaliyah. Kaliyah only dated rich white men. She wasn't into dating black guys because she only thought of them as thugs/drug dealers that is until she ran into the very sexy and straight forward Thrill. Thrill was everything opposite of what Kaliyah liked. Dreads in hair,tattoos on his arm and dressed like a thug but she couldn't deny that he was one sexy man. Go grab your copy of this sexy short read and see if Thrill can get Kaliyah to change her way of thinking. Very nice job La'Tonya West and I look forward to reading the next installment.

Love Love Loved this boy meets girl, girl shrugs off boy, girl then gets seduced by the boy story.....

Thrill is the truth... He is a total package.... No nonsense, paid alpha male that refuses to take lip from women that try to use him for his money.

Kayliyah is a boujie gold digger that is used to using men for their money... Thrill tries to step to her but she immediately turns him down... Little does she know...Thrill is gone break her down real slow...

LOVED IT

Good book

I enjoyed this short read. I'm really interested in seeing what happens next. Greed, lies, and jealousy equals a lot of drama! I just hope Thrill doesn't get hurt in the midst of a greedy woman's bull****

Colors Of Deceit

Kaliyah prides herself on only dating white men. She calls sponsors. One day while at the gas station she runs into Trevor( Thrill) a black guy that has a body to die for. Kaliyah thinks Thrill is a typical thug. Never judge a book by the cover!!

I enjoyed this book, very fast paced and kept me interested, just when it got good it end!!.

Thirsty

This was a very good read. I love Thrill's character. Kaliyah has more than she bargained for in Kent. Where she's playing for the dollars, he's playing for keeps.
