The book description states the following: "Hip-hop diva Stacy Watts is living large and keeping secrets. Secrets of her former life on the streets that she is desperate to keep hidden from wealthy Omar Masterson. Then her deadbeat ex-manager threatens to blow her cleverly constructed world apart. Stacy can think of only one way to save her new imageâpretend that clean-cut Omar is her new beau. But it isn't long before their playacting backfires and the attraction between them burns out of control. Soon Stacy's public displays of affection with hot-blooded Omar turn into sizzling nights of private passion.~~~~~~~Now Stacy must fight to keep her unsavory past from destroying her chance for a future with Omar."~~~~~~~~This is the first novel I've read by Michele Monkou and I have to say the author rushed the plot of this novel. She makes you think that Stacy has this BIG, horrible secret, that could destroy her career and budding relationship with Omar, but the revealed secret wasn't nearly as bad as the book description led me to believe, it was actually a BIG let-down. And the ex-manager that was threatening to reck her world, was hardly that BIG of threat. There were many significant details of the story that she mentioned, but she never actually followed up with a good explanation or she just dismissed them and left you hangin' which made the conclusion unsatisfying. The story just seemed scattered and too confusing. The romance between the characters was just luke-warm and uninspiring. Many times I had to put this novel down, and make myself come back and finish it.
