When a rich divorcée, an ambitious music mogul, and an extremely horny high school virgin cross paths, their insatiable web of lust, obsession, and revenge turns . . . NASTY
Beautiful, wealthy, and newly divorced, Nicola is angry with the world over her life’s failures. Determined to destroy everything in her path, she goes on a sexual rampage beginning with one unsuspecting family. She starts up a hot-and-heavy relationship with Carlos, a young music executive with big dreams and an even larger sexual appetite. Then she deflowers Carlos’s wholesome brother, Jonathan, an up-and-coming basketball star. She’s definitely on fire, but the summer is already hot for so many other reasons. . . .
Carlos’s mother is unexpectedly reunited with the love of her life. Eli is a recovering substance abuser and the father of her eldest child, Tarik, a talented neo-soul artist on the cusp of greatness. Thanks to Carlos’s expert music management, Tarik was only seconds away from signing a major record deal—but Eli’s unexpected arrival disrupts everything. As the family grows weaker, Nicola can finally be her truly ruthless self.
This book was better than I expected. Actually, the title of the book is a poor choice because while there are scenes that place it in the urban/erotic genre, the plot is very well constructed.
Omg, at first i was doubting the title because the story was actually kinda sad. dont wanna get too deep into that but yea. GREAT book ! i didn't let anyone interrupt my reading time with this one.
This is ONE of The BEST Books that I have ever Read!!! And I have Read it on THREE different occasions — so far!!! The First time I read this book was because someone handed it to me to read. The Second time I read this book was because I needed to get a better understanding of everything and what really went down. And the Third time I read this book was because I really enjoyed reading it so much the First time and the Second time that I just simply had to read it all over again!!! And I am really looking forward to reading it all over again sometime soon!!!

This book was a lot. There were so many twists and turns. It was a good story, but you have to prepare yourself to read it. Recommend, but if you have triggers, you should not read this.
(FROM JACKET)Nicola is beautiful, wealthy-and newly divorced. Angry and bitter with the world over her life's failures, she goes on a sexual rampage and destroys everything in her path. She begins to slowly move in on one unsuspecting family with her sexual charms. She starts up a hot-and-heavy relationship with Carlos, a young music executive with big dreams and an even larger sexual appetite. Then she deflowers Carlos's wholesome brother, Jonathan, an up-and-coming basketball star. She's definitely on fire, but the summer is already hot for so many other reasons.
Things get even more complicated when Carlos's mother is reunited with the love of her life. Eli is a recovering substance abuser and the father of her eldest chlild, Tarik, a talented neo-soul artist on the cusp of greatness. Thanks to Carlos's expert music management, Tarik was only seconds away from signing a major record deal-but Eli's unexpected arrival disrupts everything. Now that the family's core strength is completely weakened, Nicola can finally be her truly ruthless self.
The summer continues to sizzle for this family as Nicola's grip tightens around the men who would sacrifice everything for her.
in the beginning when the book started, it was very slow and if the book is slow to me it will take awhile for me to get into it. Once I got to know who the characters were and how they were related it was pretty good but some of the story line I felt was not needed, like describing the way something looked I felt like that was overkill. Now again most of it was pretty good but in the end I felt like the ending was rushed, there were a lot of years that went by where we did know what happened.
I must admit I put the book down after reading the first page but once I picked it back up it was a page turner . I was intrigued by the plot and I must admit that I was very sad that the story did not end happily. It was a testament of how dangerous a woman scorned can be especially with her having a history of sexual abuse. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a good exotic read.
This was a very good read. It was a little too busy in the beginning trying to keep up with all if the characters and the ending seemed a little rushed. But overall it was a page turner.
This story had to be told, I can see where most of the content could happen in everyday life. I recommend this read, it was a great debut.
Again just sex with out any emotions. And I like books with sex in them but this left me Cold! In fact it was so badly written that I didn't feel sorry for all the things that Nicola went through that made her who she was.
Nicola was a straight up hoe!! The ending was very predictable to me as well, although I'm not sure many figured that out and were probably shocked by it. This book was such a waste of my time.
This book was slow in the beginning. I had to write down "who was who" when it got to the middle to link the characters relationship. Overall I loved the story!
Wow! At first the book started kinda slow. Then it started building and I started putting pieces together but never did I imagine it would end like it did.
