This is the story of a stripper and professor who meet, fall in love and they have to deal with the trials of their relationship.I wasn't bothered by the premise of this book. A stripper that meets a wealthy man and they start something. My problem came about when the main character said she wouldn't date anyone who was financially unstable. I found that weird since she wasn't that well off and the fact that her ex bf was wealthy and she was living with him. Second, the accent. I am black American but I have spent my entire life around Caribbean ppl. The accent was just...ugh I don't know... crazy. There are points and times in this book I felt like the female character was a gold digger and very immature but well spoken for someone who was just 22. Matter of fact every one was too well spoken. Even the strip club owner said "be gone with you"...ok. The misunderstandings that were happening in this book were things that should have happened in Junior high. By the 3rd time the main character ran...I was like I hope this heffa stays gone!!! and the professor was just as stupid. Instead of him ever taking a stand he begs and pleads with her to not leave him. One of the things that I did find funny was the fact that every time I would say this is dumb or why would he/she do that? the next few pages the author would answer my question. The story was about too many happy endings and it had too many separate stories that could have developed into other books and the author then could have tied all of those books into one. Even though I enjoyed the length of the book and was upset that it would foreclose every time it got to certain page on my kindle app, I am still wondering what the hell did I just read? I liked that everyone was trying to better themselves but again the book wasn't long enough to expand the stories that needed to be told. There were scenes that were just taking up space and the way the author was describing body parts was just ridiculous "chocolate boom-shocka-locka-booms." What the hell is that? I don't want to know...there were times I was wondering what they were doing because the description was just....stupid.If you need a book to read to take up time...this a good one. The story could have been so much better.
