I like Ms. Wright's writing.  She has a way with words that pulls you into her story and won't let you go. For example: "Noc, claimed he was a spoken word artist, but he was actually just a skinny Puerto Rican guy who sold drugs and wrote lyrical rhymes that would cause Dr. Seuss to rise from his grave and slap him."She also makes me laugh out loud which not enough books do frankly.  I will be eternally grateful to her for sharing the V.I.B test as well as the meaning behind it (if you wanna know read the book). Her characterizations are well thought out, fun, and the protagonists as well as some other characters seemed to leap off the page and announce themselves occasionally as here for a good time. I even loved how she sensually used food throughout the story.So why four stars you ask?Again for me it's a matter of opinion and personal likes (oh alright it's a personal quirk).  I have a problem with polygamous relationships. I just don't get it and not being a prude or being open minded (both of which I am) hasn't helped me to change my mind. I've read many books about them and I still feel woefully confused and behind the eight ball on the subject.It was particularly difficult for me in this book cause I liked Jasmine. She seemed like a smart, interesting woman who would not put up with the crap Chase Stone put out (I don't care how fine or rich or sexy, or... did I mention he was really rich?).  And as for his other women, I kept wishing for female characters in other books who are tougher than me to come over and put a nice case of whip a$$ on them. They needed it.  Believe me.Alright I'll get off my peevish soapbox and get to the important point.  Like many others I read this book because my book club strongly suggested it and it is not only worth the read, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I would recommend it as a fun read that will challenge your social mores. Life's a bore without some challenges so I'll be reading book 2.
