Bobbi Hayes was a trained concert pianist who was being groomed by her parents for a full time career as a classical performer. Bored with the idea of playing the piano for the rest of her life and eager to blaze her own path, Bobbi heads south to the hot streets of Miami to pursue her own dreams, leaving behind a handsome inheritance and the support of her parents. Bobbi dives feet first into the gritty underground music scene and it’s met by sugar daddy after sugar daddy who helps her to gain notoriety as the hottest DJ in Miami. With very little substance, this book was lacking in comparison to Ms. Smith’s debut effort, Rolexxx Club. The action was slow to start and predictable as day when it did kick in. The premise of the story is a decent one, but the situations encountered by the main character are a little unrealistic, and leaves the reader to wonder why the main character never sat down for a moment in the story to reevaluate her life.

1. What did you like best about this book?
I like how this book tries to expose the evils of the music industry.

2. What did you dislike about this book?
I didn’t like that the book was very slow to start and extremely predictable.

3. How can the author improve this book?
The story wasn’t a bad idea but I think it would be improved if the author made it more believable.

I have this book and have yet to get p ... ed the first few chapters. It is just not a book that can hold my attention, which says alot because I'm an avid read and rarely do I not finish a book. I did enjoy the Rolexxx Club.
