Starrshma Fields, a.k.a Starr is a bold, bodacious, young, beauty and the leader of the double G's. The double G's are a powerful, ruthless, lesbian, social club of plus sized women. The gang of women are professionals by day and gangster biker chicks by night. Starr and the double G's prove that this isn't just a man's world, as they put the squeeze on their targets. Manipulation and blackmail are their weapons of choice and they set their sights on powerful men. As the temperatures rise in Vegas, so does the pressure that the double G's apply and no man is exempt from their greed. These women are on a mission and they have the game in a choke hold!

In the novel Squeeze by J.M. Benjamin readers will immediately be introduced to Starr a big, beautiful woman who is leader of the Double G’s- a powerful gay social club for plus sized woman in Sin City’s Las Vegas. There is so much going on within the 200+ pages. The women within the organization are true professionals by day but ruthless yet powerful by night.
It was very refreshing to read about characters that weren't what society normally deems beautiful. Mr. Benjamin’s characters were BBW that were all sexy and it was something unique that each person brought to the story. There were stories within the story and I could not put the book down. I completed it one day because I had to know what was going to happen next, was the undercover cop going to ever be exposed or would we find out who the mysterious Queen Fem was.
Squeeze is an action packed page turning story that will leave readers engrossed from the very beginning until the end. I felt that the story line was well developed with perfect plot execution. As a reader I saw the scenes in my mind as I read each page, to me that is what makes for a great read.
Fans of suspense, action and just overall a sexy tale will definitely enjoy Squeeze the same way that I did. I most definitely cannot wait for the sequel. Literary job well done Mr. Benjamin!

The Double G’s
Las Vegas, Nevada is under the grip of a bodacious, dangerous gang called, The Double G’s. By day this gang of plus-sized gay women work professional day jobs such as lawyers, bankers and so on. By night they transform into sexy biker chicks whose mission is to bring down men of power, using sex, blackmail and manipulation.
Starr, is the front woman for The Double G’s, but behind the scenes the real boss and brains for the operation is Queen Fem. Setting up targets and murder for those who don’t comply, is the initiation fee and the pledge is for life! For years they have been one step ahead of law enforcements, but no-one took them too seriously until now. A snitch has been planted within the gang and their blackmail victims want to fight back. But can they take down this gang without incriminating themselves or worse, end up dead?
A good fast-paced, well written plot and I love the concept of the Double G’s having the upper hand in Sin City. Since this is book one of three, I’m assuming some of the questions I have will be answered in the next book.

In this novel the author takes us into the mix of an all female lesbian clique that uses their femininity to gain power, control, & finances. This fast-paced entertaining story definitely embodies female empowerment. Several people want to infiltrate them and take them down including law enforcement but we're shown throughout the story that they are not to be reckoned with. It appears that there will be a follow-up and I'm here for it!

Double G
You just completed the first of an awesome series. Each scene was action packed and full of excitement. I'm just hoping the loyalty stays in the front running because up until Monica this was the most amazing loyal group of ladies. Yes StArr has some good ideas but the most calm calculated results comes from the Vets like Queen Fem. So lets see what the next installment will show. If you don't 'read this you will miss out on a Banger. #supportyourauthors

I have to agree with some of the other readers, this book was all over the place. At times I found myself confused. Too many characters too much going on with a lot being unsaid. If part two of this book is the final book then I might read it but if it's going to continue like so many other series with no conclusions, I'm not reading it.
