I think this was an okay read; to be honest I didn’t really know what to think of it. I went into it thinking it was going to be like Pandora’s Box, a movie starring Michael Jai White and the two actresses from The Player’s Club since it was a movie about swingers and it had a lot of drama. However, this book didn’t really make a big impact like the movie did, the characters were one dimensional, and I didn’t like some parts of the story. Overall, a quick fun read if you like plenty of sex and you’re interested in the swinger lifestyle.
Milan is the owner of Erotic City and I liked how she was always hustling. Thinking of ways to expand Erotic City, even writing for a TV Program about a swingers club of the same name. I even stood by her when she wanted to end things with Demarcus because of Ramada’s mess; I understood her not wanting drama from someone she was only connected to through him. However, she lost me when she re-hired Jarod to work at the club after finding him masturbating to her step-mother fucking another woman. Jarod was her sister’s boyfriend, and after he was caught masturbating to their step-mother, he actually ghosted Tamiko and continued having sex with Nancy! So the audacity of Milan to hire him back as if she couldn’t find another security person was crazy to me. Her and Tamiko seemed very close, so what she did didn’t make sense. I’d have been so mad at my sister for that.
Nancy was also a character who I didn’t necessarily like. She received a 6 figure settlement when she divorced from their father, a millionaire musician. Their father divorced her because he had suspicions she was cheating on him (she was), and still gave her a 6 figure settlement which she agreed to. When he dies, she tries to come after more of his money and feels she has a right to it. It is one of the main conflicts between Tamiko, Milan and her. That’s why I again felt Milan was crazy for offering Nancy one of their father’s houses to live in after finding out she was living in her car and had gotten raped after blowing through the alimoney she received. Nancy literally slept with her sister’s man with no remorse, and yet Milan gave her sister a place to stay afterwards in the name of “peace”. I swear, if I was Tamiko, I would have been furious at my sister, but Tamiko found her a new man in Keenan so I guess she didn’t really care.
