Book Description

February 5, 2008
From the bestselling author of Pandora's Box and Insatiable -- the story of two women whose lives are consumed by their rivalry for the same man.

A seductive tale of lust and revenge, The Climax charts the entangled lives of two women -- Terelle and Kai -- who have both suffered irrecoverable losses in their pursuit of Marquise, who is believed to be dead. Kai is in prison, and Terelle suffered from a mental breakdown after losing her fiancé. After two years of catatonia, Terelle is awakened by a sweet and mysterious kiss, and the voice of her lost love.

As Terelle recovers, she clings to the idea that Marquise (who is the father of her child) is still alive and out there, waiting to reunite with her. She goes into grueling rehabilitation in order to find a way back to him, all the while enduring the concern of loved ones, who think she is delusional. At the same time, Kai is jailed for a murder she didn't commit, but that doesn't stop her wanton behavior. Not a day goes by that Kai doesn't plot a wicked revenge on Terelle. Throughout steamy prison encounters, and despite a lifetime sentence, Kai vows that Terelle will never know a moment of peace, so long as she lives

5.0 out of 5 stars This CLIMAX will leave you BREATHLESS!!!, January 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Climax (v. 2) (Paperback)
What would you do if the love of your life was accidently shot and killed....by you? All of your sanity would go down the toilet just like Terelle Chambers. Terelle now spends her days as a patient in a mental hospital in a catatonic state. Yet Terelle has a desire to return to her sanity and the arms of her one true love Marquise and baby girl Markeeta. Terelle has a strong desire that Marquise is alive. Is Marquise alive? Can Terelle recover and reclaim her sanity and old life?
Meanwhile Kai Montgomery is suffering a fate worse than death. Poor Kai was sentenced to prison for the murder of her former lover Marquise. Now the over privileged bi racial rich girl is at the mercy of her ruthless ghettofied fellow inmates. Kai is forced to have sexual romps with correctional officers and foul smelling females. Kai vows vengeance on Terelle, her biological mother(who stole her money) and her rich adoptive parents (who disowned her when she went to prison). Kai is teetering on the brink of sanity and is slowly loosing her mind. If only she can get out of prison... surely justice will be served after all Kai is innocent.
And Marquise? Is he merely a figment of Terelle's imagination? A ghost whispering sweet nothings in her ear?
Allison has done an OUTSTANDING job with this sequel! This book is a must read for everyone who read "Insatiable". No one writes a story like Ms. Hobbs!! The mix of humor, slight perversions, hot sex and truly oddball turn of events is GREAT!!! Can't wait for her next book!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars FREAKY AIN'T NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD, February 3, 2008
This review is from: The Climax (v. 2) (Paperback)
Allison Hobbs is a tantalizingly twisted story weaver! A master, at best, that knows how to suck you into a story and never let you go. I greedily plowed through the first hundred pages anxious to know where she would take me. I needed to know what Kai was up to since the last book Insatiable. I flipped through the next hundred or so pages in awe. I alternated from laughing out loud to shaking my head at their antics I just could not put the book down! I tried to pace myself to allow the book to last but I just couldn't do it. I had to finish. I had to know and I'm left speechless. Some of the phrases she used, I wish I knew someone that I could repeat them too! Read this book and you will know exactly what I mean. This book is truly OUTSTANDING and among my favorites that I will read again and again. Anybody ready to discuss?

5.0 out of 5 stars what.... in the world...., March 3, 2008
This review is from: The Climax (v. 2) (Paperback)
... I wonder what goes on inside the head of Allison to come up with some of her stories and plot lines! She takes us back to what, in my opinion, was her best novel to date; Insatiable. The characters are back and so is the drama, it's chock full of sex, sex, sex, and twists that is making this sister famous!

You will HATE Kai! I'm just being honest, this lady (term used loosely... kinda like she is) has got more issues than the Ebony/Jet warehouse. You pray and pray that she will get hers and Allison does a great job of setting her character up. The other characters aren't that swift either because... well... I've seen rocks that have more brains than them. Allison brings the pain again with this novel and you can't help but become a fan.

You will cover your mouth and cringe when you read what happens to Kai in prison and what she DOES in prison! There is one scene that will literally make you feel that pain. There is another scene(s) that will make your mouth drop when you see what happens with Kai and her father and WHERE it takes place! Stop waiting yall! Allison is bad and her books are bad-der!!!!!
