I like how Night's character developed. You learned clearly what lead him to be a male escort. As time went on Night's take home pay increased as his clientele became more "upscale". However, through out all of this, one can feel that Night still had genuinely good intentions.
Night's true dream was in the music business. But his sister was his number one concerned. There was nothing he would not do for her. His night life, however, almost gets in the way of his family life when dealing with the wrong people gets the NYPD looking for him.
This book is a page turner. It's suspenceful and exciting. I look forward to reading more of Nelson George's books.
Night's goal is to be a R&B singer. On the way to realizing his dream he is side-tracked by side jobs which include being an exotic dancer and then he gets into the business of "pleasuring" wealthy clients. One night while out in a nightclub he meets the supermodel Beth Ann. She gives him a cold shoulder until it is apparent she needs him as much as he wants her. Unbeknownst to him, dealing with Beth Ann could have a detrimental effect on his life. His paying job could also have a detrimental effect on his freedom.
Nelson George has the ability to provide wild and witty erotic twists to his stories. In this novel, Night's escapades into the underworld are delved into as well as his estranged relationship with his father. The journey into the world of the sexual deviant and the underworld bosses of New York streets provides a kick and adventure to this novel. If you never read a book by Nelson George I suggest you pick this one up. If you have read his books, you will not be disappointed in this quick, but exciting read.
