The Man Handler: A Novel
An intimately raw, sexually explicit, voyeuristic glimpse into the life of a single, thirty-year-old woman with an overpowering love and passion for sexuality, and the ability to satisfy it without fear or regret.
Bianca Rivers makes no excuses for her highly charged libido as she shares her fantasies and explosive sexual encounters. Embracing her womanhood and indulging in her sexual desires without regret, Bianca satisfies her urges with any man willing to feed her insatiable appetite. But what will happen when one of the men decides that he wants to love her and be in a true relationship? Will Bianca be able to resist a man who fits her perfectly and is determined to take things to the next level?
The Man Handler is a bold narrative that challenges beliefs and attitudes about men, women, and sex, while posing questions about sexuality, sensuality, love, infidelity, and the potential consequences of risky sexual behaviors. Informative and entertaining, it forces readers to take an honest look at their own actions and choices.

The Man Handler
Cairo captured my attention quickly, but lost it just as fast. I like the wittiness, sassiness and brashness of his character Bianca; unfortunately after that all is lost. A great character and little to no story. Instead, Cairo , via Bianca, vents, narrates and gives readers a piece of his/her mind. A monologue, if you will. Occasionally a small anecdote from the past is told. But, again, where’s the story? Readers stand still in time while the main character finds something else to talk about, much of which is repetitive, and ultimately leads back to sex. Don’t get me wrong, some of her observations are on point, but then what?
Bianca has sex. Bianca thinks about sex. Bianca wants to have sex. Bianca remembers good sex. Bianca remembers not so good sex Then it’s back to Bianca has sex. Are you dizzy yet? High off of sex-overload? Gratuitous, detailed and graphic sex doesn’t a story make either. Throwing out the words d*ck, p*ssy, nuts and clit may work for some, but this reader needs an actual story It was like the author was trying too hard. Here’s my chance and I may never have this chance again so I’m going to cover everything! I also felt the author was looking for shock value. Upping the ante. Instead of just mentioning a dude’s balls, let’s talk about their size, shape, texture, the amount of hair, smell and taste. But then what? I know what his balls looks like, but how does that advance or better the plot?
This style of writing may work better as a ‘Ladies, listen up’ type of blog or a self help book. But when you’re going to write a book, you need to write a book. Tell a story with a plot and some structure. “The Man Handler” was a never ending carousel of sexcapades. I got rug burn and whip lash trying to keep up.
I’ve read this author as himself (yes I know who you are) and twice as Cairo now. He has talent. And I like what he’s doing with his alias. The potential is great. His characters are memorable. But bring it down a notch and get back to the basics of telling a story. Like “Kat Trap,” this was simply too over the top. You kept it too cute! Somewhere lost in translation was a plot, I hope.

Mm.. I didn't finish the whole book 'cause I slowly lost interest as I read along. I came to the conclusion that this book is pretty much a "ho's" manual. Bianca Rivers teaches the reader how to live a "ho" life, the smart way. Reading this book was like reading a sex blog. There was no story or thrill. Strictly sex scenes & descriptions of the guys she'd encountered with. I found it boring after awhile since I was expecting there to be a story (i.e. she fell in love with one of her fuck buddies or something), and because she constantly talked about how sweet & tight her pussy was & how much every guy loved it. All I know is that the book could've been better (my opinion) and that I wouldn't recommend this book unless you're interested in becoming a "classy" ho. No disrespect to anyone who enjoyed this book. There's nothing wrong with having a lot of sex scenes in your book, just have to make sure there's a plot or else it'll get boring. What I liked was how much she stressed never to talk your business to anyone & how to deal with your man properly in the bedroom. But that's about it. Again, it could've been better.

I read this book at a very slow pace b/c I lost interest in the beginning. I couldn't understand Bianca's motive for being the way she was but the further I read it became clear to me that she was after all who she said she was. Bianca was not only a certified Ho she was a bonafide, freak nasty, nymphomanic, Ho. Lol, and she was true to her heart with it.

Can You Handle the Man Handler?
Bianca Rivers is a sexy thirty-something who knows what she wants and demands it accordingly. With a sex-drive only matched by her high sense of self and extreme independence, she handles her men with the structure and precision of a sexual engineer. Make no mistake, she is a 'ho', a self-proclamation that she shows immense pride and confidence in. She schools the reader on her rules of the game: keep your men in threes, rotate them every ninety days, always use protection, don't mess with married men, and never get emotionally involved. Following these rules means the difference between a smart 'ho' and a trifling whore or a silly b**** and she makes that brutally clear. If you don't like it, she will not be the one to apologize. She keeps a roster of men on the line in order to feed her insatiable appetite for sex. They are willing to succumb to her demands and give it to her just how she likes it. Picking her men like a connoisseur, she insures her satisfaction as long as they follow the strict rules she enforces upon them. However, no matter how good the sex is, she makes it very clear that she does not want a relationship - not now, not ever. But, what happens when the rules of the game abruptly change? When one of her men relentlessly pressures her for something more than "no-strings-attached" sex, Bianca finds herself faced with the challenge of confronting her true desires and possibly admitting to an addiction.
THE MAN HANDLER by Cairo is a bold, erotic tale with vividly written depictions of eroticism and uninhibited desire. The author made good use of colorful description, leaving nothing to the imagination as he detailed Bianca's sexapades. However, although Cairo portrayed Bianca as a strong, liberated woman who was not afraid to speak her mind, I found her character to be fairly unbelievable and simply unlikable. I was baffled by her unrelenting need for sexual stimulation and the unrealistic way she interacted with and "handled" her men. The bulk of the novel was nothing more than accounts of random, raunchy sexual encounters, accompanied by vivid nightly dreams, and obsessive self-pleasuring, neglecting to engage the reader in a story of some kind. I was disappointed to find that the plot to this story did not emerge until the last fourth of the book. Additionally, I found parts of the novel to be repellent and sometimes offensive. The lack of a storyline caused what would otherwise be considered hot, stimulating sex scenes, to be little more than meaningless attempts to spark some arousal from the reader (a task in which I feel the author was unsuccessful in achieving).

This book is pretty much a manual for those aspiring to be whores, ho's, slutbuckets, etc i read the whole thing through hoping that it would get better unfortunately it did not. The last few chapters was the only part of the book I somewhat liked.

Bianca is a single successful woman who loves to have sex, but doesn’t want a commitment. She juggles several men and rotates them out often. It’s all fun and games until it’s not and Bianca has a life changing decision to make. One that may include her slowing down a bit.
It pains me to say that this is my least favorite book by the author. Normally I breeze through these books, but this one was a bit of a struggle. I was determined to finish, and I did. My favorite character was Garrett, because was do patient with Bianca, who just happens to be my least favorite character. She was very selfish and could’ve possibly gotten hurt for playing with people the way she did.

July 4, 2016Honestly thought that this book would be better than what it was a little disappointed in this author. Cairo's books normally keep me entertained from the beginning to end but this one felt like I had to force myself to finish. It had some decent parts but for the most part to me it had no plot or storyline and it was becoming a repeat of the same thing each chapter.
