When she runs into Kavon "Big" Jackson, an NBA player and former college classmate of hers, she finds it really isn't so hard to snag a high-profile husband. But it sure is hard to keep him satisfied. "Big" lives up to his name in every way, including his temper and his libido---neither of which Loletta can control. As violence and infidelity escalate in their home, so does Loletta's resolve. She's got a few surprises up her own sleeve, and the drama is just beginning.…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The lesson in this book is BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!! The protagonist wanted to lead the life of a NBE wife. She went from groupie to wife. Loletta soons finds out that ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD. The author gives very sensual and explicit details of the intimate life of this couple. Couldnot put it down.
