Review: Terrific urban parody of FSOG that sizzles and delivers!

Fifty Shades of Jungle FeverI LOVED this hilarious, smart, sexy BDSM interracial romance parody. Keisha Beale and her Triple G (Ghetto Good Girl) and Hootchie Fairy Mama had me laughing so much. Tristan is the business mogul half of the White twins; his brother, Nathan, is a successful NBA player. When Jada, Keisha's friend, yells, "Master" to Nathan and reveals her bdsm play, I knew without a doubt that this was even better, to me, than the original.Princess Danai (rapper) and Jose add to the crazy fun. I really liked Keisha and her earnest, stubbornness to get her business going, while challenging the controlling Tristan. When her mother meets him, who can resist him? Then Keisha's biggest fear comes to light in a major way. I can't wait for the next book!! I even own the audiobook which has great narration. I highly recommend it, whether you've read 50 Shades of Grey or not. You don't need to read it in order to enjoy this.Exit StrategyI had eagerly awaited this sequel.  When Tristan unknowingly sets off a trigger from Keisha's past, she bolts."My Fairy Hoochie Mama boycotts the hell out of me come daylight when she realizes I'm not bluffing about leaving Tristan. She's carrying her "Down with Keisha" sign, pacing back and forth through my subconscious like we're back in the sixties and I've been violating her civil rights. I know I'm in a whole mess of trouble when my Ghetto Good Girl, or Triple-G, joins her, wearing a more contemporary "Team Tristan" T-shirt."I loved how Keisha's Fairy Hoochie Mama and Triple-G hounded her to get back with Tristan. ..."once you've gone kink, vanilla stinks." I enjoyed that Keisha kept her Kente Studio Records and had a life of her own. Her independence and stubbornness are both fun and irritating, in that order. Tristan was being pressured by his twin to get Keisha back. But because of a past breakdown with a sub, Tristan was reluctant to commit to anyone. Keisha and Tristan were so hot together, and the issues that tore them apart seemed insurmountable. The sex/bdsm scenes were not as frequent in the sequel.I enjoyed the sequel almost as much as FSOJF, and to me, Tristan and Keisha were more relatable, fun, and made a great, sexy couple better than Christian and Anastasia.
