Veron Darcey is a twentysomething African American woman who wants it all: a successful career, an upwardly mobile life, and a loving, attentive man. But the last few men Veron has been with have either added her to their five-woman rotation or relegated her to the dreaded “just friends” zone.

After one particularly bad date, Veron caves in and asks her best friend, Demetria Sparks, to share her secrets. Demetria is a gorgeous woman who has something special–men line up to paint her toenails and lavish her with Caribbean cruises and diamond rings. Demetria tries to give Veron a mind-and-body makeover, but sweet Veron struggles with being aggressive. And when Demetria demonstrates her method on Veron’s dream guy, Seaphes, his lack of interest provokes her to pull out all the stops–and forces Veron into a fierce competition between mentor and student. With pressure (and sexual tension) mounting, Veron begins to wonder if changing herself is a mistake. But is it too late to back off her new game now that she’s gotten a juicy taste of just what she’s capable of?]]> 130531 3.42 106 24 2008 0 2009-06-30T00:26:59-07:00 954678 286 2009-06-30T00:26:59-07:00 0 2009-06-30T00:26:40-07:00 954676 27 2009-06-30T00:26:40-07:00 0 2009-06-29T01:11:43-07:00 949781 242 2009-06-29T01:11:43-07:00 0 2009-06-29T00:58:50-07:00 949766 242 2009-06-29T00:58:50-07:00 0 2009-06-28T02:19:13-07:00 945897 231 2009-06-28T02:19:13-07:00 It's taking me awhile to finish thus and it's not that bad of a book. 0 2009-06-27T01:16:56-07:00 942369 206 2009-06-27T01:16:56-07:00 0 2009-06-24T02:57:50-07:00 929140 180 2009-06-24T02:57:50-07:00 Not even halfway thru. :( 0 2009-06-22T01:01:15-07:00 918787 148 2009-06-22T01:01:15-07:00 Slow 0 2009-06-21T00:54:06-07:00 914865 128 2009-06-21T00:54:06-07:00 0 2009-06-20T03:10:51-07:00 911450 100 2009-06-20T03:10:51-07:00 Slow.
