Book Description

November 14, 2004
Engrossing, Brash, and Brimming with Emotion When self-serving affairs threaten to ruin treasured relationships in the lives of Portia, Laila, Simone, and Fatima, will they find the moral and spiritual strength to accept their destinies? Portia traded in her church roots for the XXX nightlife as the scene s hottest stripper - Mystique. Street savvy and textbook intellect make privates easy targets for this 5 5 hourglass shaped vixen captivating the hearts and loins of many men. The hood respects her, and the men in suits lust. Jay, a thorough Brooklyn hustler en-route to record company executive delights in late night, prepaid sex-on-demand romps with this conniving kitten. But will the top dog in town make a lady of the night his lady? And if so, can Portia escape her past without penalties? Simone is enjoying trips, jewelry, and extended lunches - perks from playing in the sheets with her married boss. When she learns that her supervisor turned sugar daddy, Kyle, has a deadly secret, can Simone cope with the discovery? Laila, the meek, married mother of two feels her spouse Khalil is slipping away from their wedded union. He is aloof, and comes home late smelling of liquor and other sour stenches. Will Laila salvage her relationship? Fatima, a verbose, control freak who s had her share of unprotected sex becomes panic stricken after taking her first HIV/AIDS test. Caroline McGill s debut novel is an exhilarating fusion of sex, treachery, lust, vengeance, and murder. In this realistic, intriguing, suspense filled tale, readers will be exposed to a raw side of life that has yet to be revealed. If you have read True to The Game and A Hustler s Wife you will fall head over heels in love with A Dollar Outta Fifteen Cent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Let Money Rule Ya!!!!!!!, August 14, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Dollar Outta Fifteen Cent (Paperback)
Portia Lane is tired of using what she got to get what she wants. At 25 she's ready to give up stripping and become a regular 9 to 5 girl like her friends Lalia, Simone and Fatima. She has a degree in accounting and a good head on her shoulders so it shouldn't be too hard. But life is always hard especially when trying to win the heart of a man who met you while dancing as Mystique.

In the begining of this book I detested Portia's character for a costly mistake that she made while chasing that almighty dollar. Giving full credit to Caroline McGill's writing style she made me do a full 360 and root for a character that I swore I'd hate. This book is simply remarkable!!! It's African- American Contemporary Fiction at it's best and it's difficult to believe that this is Ms. McGill's first book.

A Dollar Outta Fifteen Cents made me laugh out loud and shed plenty of tears. When I got 20 pages from the end of the book I actually closed it because I didn't want the story to end. After I picked it back up and read the final pages I decided not to pick up another book for a couple of days so I could remain a little longer in the environment that Ms. McGill so skillfully crafted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steppingstone, November 21, 2005
By 
This review is from: A Dollar Outta Fifteen Cent (Paperback)
Portia Lane from "Do or Die" New York is a natural born street savvy hustler that traveled the coast paper chasing with a prudence for the night life. Even with a college degree, she never ruled out any options especially involving fast money and excitement. A gift for gab granted her game enough that she could utilize her kitty as her lethal weapon. Mystique about her "privates," Portia is feeling that the game maybe old as she bids herself into the arms of "thug passion."

Jay Mitchell is one of NY's justifiable thugs. His lady is Luck, Wife is a Desert Eagle and his main mistress is his .45. M.O.B. forget wasting time and energy on love. It was all long- term stability. Without a father guiding his steps it was his goal to be a role model for his mini me, Jayquan. That was fine until he found himself caught up in Portia-ville. Despite what he says P had him open in a major way.

Now can this ambiguous pair survive baby mama drama, lifestyle, drama, and growth?

This is a very explicit account that will immediately draw readers in with drama, jealousy, skepticism, passion, betrayal along with a range of risqué behaviors that depicts the reality of HIV/AIDS and the importance of practicing safe sex. It's all STREET with the characters and their attempts to maintain A DOLLAR OUTTA FIFTEEN CENT.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
