Selfish: I Want You All to Myself
Denise Smith is a good girl growing up sheltered and on the wrong side of the tracks her whole life. She's lived next door to Bryanna Dawson her whole life not knowing that their lives were intertwined more than they would ever know. Denise's parents kept her away for years, but there's only so much you can protect someone from.
Eventually Denise realizes Bryanna is not all bad and they become friends quickly. The only problem is Bryanna's lifestyle proves to be more than Denise can handle. Bryanna is a sugar baby looking for love in all the wrong places, but no one knows her hurt comes from a real place and her past and upbringing has molded her this way. She doesn't see another way of life.
Bryanna introduces Denise to the lifestyle and because she is a virgin, those same men cling to Denise which makes Bryanna jealous. They try hard not to let this ruin their friendship and over time they both decide what's best for them is to not share these men. Denise starts to develop feelings for Derek Reynolds, but their relationship ends before it really begins because of Bryanna's longtime feelings for him and also because of Denise's own personal issues within her family.
Ultimately, she sees this as just another man that has the potential to ruin a friendship built on a massive lie their parents hoped they would never find out about. This is a story of a friendship too closely linked as family. Will this just be another replay of their parents’ family drama?

Denise is a naive young lady who falls under the spell of her best friend Bryanna who is into adult things. Parents have secrets that the girls are not aware of there past. Derrick is in love with Denise but Bri is in love with him but he isn't interested what has changed in the last 4 years. Who was that at the dinner table I think it was Derek so he doesn't seem to be loyal. Hurry up part 2.#0108

Left me needing more
I just could not put this book down. I read it all in one sitting and am left wanting more. I just have to know what happens next. I bet Bri's fiance was Derek. Excellent story. Kept me wanting more right up to the last sentence. I definitely will be looking out for a second part.

This was an okay read... There was so many problems with this book that it really took away from the storyline... There was so many mistakes in spelling... There was a mix up of characters constantly... And the timeline was off some... It was all just so distracting... I feel that if all of this was fixed then this storyline would flow so much better...
Denise was a good girl that ended up get caught up with her neighbor Briana that was always into something... Brianna was out here sleeping with all kinds of older men for money... she pulled Denise into her world... The only thing is that Denise just watched... But all the men that Briana was feeling, was feeling Denise... And if they couldn't have Denise around then they cut Briana off... This caused Briana to become jealous of Denise and she tried to cut her off as a friend... But Deniese was so Naive that she kept forcing her way back into Briana's life... Time and time again Briana kept pulling Denise into some of her mess... It took one final incident to finally have Briana walk away...
In the mean time Denise had Derick coming at her time and time again trying to show her that he wants to be with her and will treat her the way she deserves.. But because of the fact that Briana liked him and she felt like she didn't deserve to be happy... She did all she could to push him away...
4 years later and fate has brought them all back together... It all looks like everyone is on the road to happiness... But sometimes looks can be deceiving...
Are Briana and Denise both in a relationship with Derick? Hmmmm... Need to wait for part 2 to find out how this story will go...

Great read! Even with a few formatting errors, the story is hard to put down. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Denise as she was clearly being used by the person she wanted so desperately to be accepted by. Bri comes from dysfunction and has no idea how to love anyone, much less herself. Can't wait for Part II.
