Purple Label Affairs by ZI'EREReview & SynopsisThis purple gem was gifted to me in connection with a contest/give-a-way courtesy of the author. It's not every day that I literally run into young inspiring authors but I ran into this one through another author friend who mentioned to me that this particular purple plum...one of my favorite colors was quite a delight. Laini and Zoey Jeffries are quite the business women...twice the twin and twice times ten the magnet for trouble. Scandal seems to follow her wherever she goes...courtesy the paparazzi that always seem to be in the right place at the right time whenever anything scandalous pops in and out of her life. Along with the Jeffries twins are the rich and famous Barton twins Amina and Emani...every bit of business and every bit of what fashion has to offer.The story begins with Laini caught in a scandal captured on camera for the whole world to see. It's a headline, similar to one that happened in the U.S. that surfaced not so long ago...Laini's headline  is closely related to a scandalous event that happened with one of Americas' football players who made national news... when his long-time relationship with a girl he never met, but formed an online relationship... became publicly revealed...where the online made up girl actually turned out to be a guy what was pretending to be a girl...and here Laini is found here... caught up in a `Catfish world of her own'(the players of course are quite different).Once you begin reading 'Purple Label Affairs', the pace quickens and the characters become realistic...even visual to the mind's eye and the images stay with you right up to the very end.  I was a little disappointed with the ending but hopefully the author will consider extending the story line and including a few fillers to iron things, just to clear up and air out all of the dirty laundry that's out in book one.My Rating Scale...4 1/2 Stars...1 star - for interest peak...now you've got me...but can you keep me2 stars - author tells a story that flows...it's either good or not so good3 stars - author makes you ask questions, questions and more questions...but doesn't stop4 stars - story has the element of surprise or suspense...(may be missing something)5 stars - now what... a conclusions is reached or anticipation follows.I really enjoyed the story, the characters and above all the writing style of ZI'ERE...Kudos for attacking one of the newest and one of the most controversial issues of what this newer generation is facing and coping with today. This is one of those stories that you just have to read for yourself...and I highly recommend to anyone that comes across this author and/or her works to do just that. You'll be  glad you did!
