This book was very easy to read and captures the readers attention from the very beginning. I admire Mr. King's courage in revealing himself. This book will serve as standard for me when evaluating not only men but women (we have hidden agendas also) who come in contact with my family. I thought the book was very well written and very applicable to environment we are currently living in.

Ladies, it is time to know the truth. This man shares the world that many men travel in, do you know if your man is one of them.
The most surprising thing I learned was that most men "cruise" at church! That will make you think twice about finding a good man at the church, who will be loyal and true.
While I find this man's lifestyle dangerous, I give him a lot of credit for telling us how is going down, whether we want to see it or not.

This was a very interesting and eye-opening book. It was extremely easy to read with a lot of insight into brothers on the down low from the author who has experience with this type of life-style.
