I was initially skeptical when I purchased this, nonetheless, I found the title, along with the sample and synopsis to be interesting and purchased it. The synopsis is a perfect summary for the book, so I don't need to elaborate on that. The book surprised me, as it was better than I expected. Serena was scheming and up to no good. I wonder if she'll get what she wants and if she does, if she'll learn that it wasn't worth it. Will Nicole have a happily ever after or will DonTravious mess it up? It was entertaining although predictable in some parts and there were quite a few editing issues...The author constantly shifts from first person to third person, sometimes even changing characters without warning in the same chapter. For example, the book begins from Nicole's 1st person POV, but then shortly after her best friend speaks, it changes to 3rd person. Later, during a confrontation with DonTravious, it went from his first person POV to Nicole's first person POV...in the same chapter. Luckily, I was still able to follow along. Thoughts weren't italicized, either, making some parts slightly confusing. There were quite a few misspelling and punctuation errors as well. I would recommend that the author hire an editor for the next go round to eliminate these distractions. The title also had me thinking that the main character (Nicole) was going to become a 'hoe', thus the title, but it was actually the opposite. Hopefully in part 2, we will see if hoes actually win (Serena).I definitely will be buying the next part to see how the author grows, as well as to see how the story ends. For only 99cents, I'd definitely recommend that others give this new author a try!
