This is too fast of a read. I understand that Turner wrote this book so her readers could get better acquainted with Desember (and to make a few more bucks before the wheels fall of this wagon) and she did that. We know Desember better.
That being said, would have hurt to flesh out the plot line a bit? 100 pages is hardly enough to really get to know a character. Turner has real talent so she pulls it out as well as any author could IMO, but I still would have liked to have had a full novel here. This isn't the kind of book I usually spend my money on.
Turner is calling this a sort of "bridge" between the first two books in the Hustler series, A Hustler's Wife, Forever a Hustler's Wife, and the third book, Heartbreak of a Hustler's Wife. I'm quickly losing steam when it comes to urban fiction series'. Most of them should be one book wonders, not three-seven book series. Turner is one of the few authors that can pull this off.
So, it's fast, can easily be read in one sitting, has all the usual Turner highlights, and the talent is definitely there. I'm eager to read the next (and hopefully last) book in the series.
