Madam X
by Niobia Bryant
Second book in the series to follow-up Madam, May I. The author delivers a scandalously spicy novel about a woman who discovers her past is back with a vengeance.
The novel follows Desdemona Dean once an exclusive madam in the high-end prostitution game who planned to turn her life around by leaving the game for good. We all believe in second chances right? So, did Desdemona until her hidden past came back to haunt her. A celebrity client releases a book filled with dirt, an anonymous tip to the police, and a major price to pay are only a few obstacles Desi will have to face. Settled into her new life with the love of her life Loren the last thing Desdemona needs is to be the center of a social and tabloid media firestorm . . .
This was a pretty quick read and had some interesting highlighted moments. Her father’s ex-wife was trash and part of the reason Desdemona’s life turned out the way it did. Her relationship also started to crumble due to the lies and secrets she kept. Wish I had read the first book so I’d have a better understanding of the character. But nonetheless I was entertained by the twists and turns.
Overall, the book was cool I think reading the first book in the series would be best. But you can never really go wrong with any urban fiction. It gives all the vibes with the drama, violence, betrayal, money, and sex. Most of the characters have no depth and are a little one-dimensional but the premise will keep you engaged. Special thanks to the author, @kensingtonbooks, & @netgalley for my advanced copy!!!
Rating: 3.75/5
