Review: Good Read, but pissed off at the heroine
Rating: 4 out of 5

Aside from the fact that this book was interesting, I really had a major issue with the grammar, the punctuation (or lack thereof), words being used out of context or incorrectly and the spelling errors.  This book has the potential to be best seller material if the editing was done thoroughly and completely.Plodding through all of that, I still managed to read the entire book and I was highly disappointed especially at the end.  However, given the ending, I think this book would make for a very interesting sequel surrounding the characters as with the "All My Queen's Men" chronicles.Yes it is just a story, but unfortunately the heroine is a prime example of what is wrong with many women today, Black and White who fall under the "Super-Athletes-Millon-Dollar-Man Spell".SPOILER ALERT.I really didn't care for the choices made by the character Toy.  She was impetuous and obviously infatuated with "F-Bomb-dropping" Logic - (King of Rebounds himself I might add).  She comes across as some sex-starved, sex-addicted insecure trollop with a Law Degree who wouldn't recognize the gates of heaven even if someone opened them for her. She struck me as one of those women who would accept being treated less than the queen that she really is by having some "here today rich athlete, but gone tomorrow at the first injury" fool because he lavishes her with stuff he originally bought for his ex?  Really?  What sane, educated woman gives up her livelihood, an educated, gorgeous (not to mention powerful man, yes who happens to be white) as a trophy "side- ????" to be with a revolver-slinging, every-other-word-is-the-f-bomb talking, uncouth athlete, just cause he is worth millions??? Amazing!!!! Then she goes to the other extreme of the spectrum by involving herself with trash-talking, can't-rub-two-dimes-together "he-is-fine-and-can-crack-a-sister's-back-but-he-is-broke-as-a-joke" Jamar and his ghetto fabulous self?Toy was way to superficial, easily swayed and fell for the "bling bling" or the "good looks" way too easily and then made choices that unfortunately is reflective of some of the choices that too many Black women today make. She was totally self-destructive, self-loathing, and self-deprecating.  If there is a sequel to this book, I do hope it tells what happens to Toy when Logic is no longer "The $100 million dollar man" or he leaves her for a "??"!
