Adonis Hill is one of Atlanta's black, young, and formidable defense attorneys. He is engaged to, SIdnee, a high society socialite whose grandfather just so happens to be his boss at the law firm. He has it all; a wonderful family, an exciting career, and a beautiful fiance. That's not enough. He strikes up a hot and steamy sexual relationship with a young, black man trying to find his way in the world. As the affair grows more serious, Adonis must decide if he's willing to risk it all and live in the truth he wants to deny or be bound to keeping up appearances. Love, sex, lies, domestic violence, and mental illness takes you on an exciting ride in this short novel.
The author definitely has talent. He is able to write characters that you instantly begin to identify with. The initial storyline is pretty strong as well. The sex scenes are pretty hot too.
He needs to take his time and really develop the characters and give them all a unique voice. Some of the characters like the mother and grandmother are introduced but don't really serve a purpose in such a short read. The ending was rushed and completely turned into a crazyass Kenya Moore straight to DVD movie - which was still entertaining. But the first third of the book shows a writer that clearly has more talent than just the hijinks that he resorts to at the end. Also the grammatical errors really pick up towards the middle to end.
this was a good story, I can't wait to read the second book in the series. Good character development with the main characters: Adonis, who is on the DL, the author shows how black men feel about the gay life style, but lives the DL, with a wife, or girlfriend on the side. Rayvick, whos on the outside looking in, has no knowledge that his partner is on the DL. A good story. Adonis Hill is a User! That is why I gave this book 5 Stars. I enjoyed it.
