An Shocking Page-Turner,
By
This review is from: G-Spot: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
G-Spot by Noire is not for the faint at heart. A mature audience sticker needs to be on each book, for this book is X rated. G-Spot is violent and delves into sexual and emotional abuse. For those who live close to the streets, this may be the norm, but for most of the people I know, to live this type of life is unimaginable.
Born to a crack addicted mother and raised by a sanctified number running grandmother, Juicy is 19 years old when she becomes Granite McKay's woman. Granite, better known as G, is the king of the drug world in Harlem. G's position places Juicy and her brother Jimmy in a world of luxury that they have never known before. With all that she is privy too, Juicy is unhappy. She is sexually unsatisfied and has to rely on her own fingers to bring relief. Much to Juicy's dismay, her younger, mentally unstable brother is in awe of G and wants nothing more than to work for G. The bright spot for Juicy is when G's son Gino returns to Harlem to work in his father's empire. Juicy and Gino find themselves dangerously attracted to each other. The punishment for double crossing G is brutal. G-Spot has been called urban fiction meets erotica, but each reader will have to make their own determination of what they call erotica. The sex scenes are graphic and sometimes none to pretty. The punishments endured by Juicy are horrific. However, if you can get past the explicit violence and sex, the story underneath is well written about a young girl who grows up too fast, expects too much and finds out that living high is not what it is cracked up to be. While shocked through most of the book, it was a page-turner because I had to find out what was going to happen next. While I can not recommend G-Spot to everyone, if someone asks I will encourage them to pick it up and read it for themselves. Jeanette APOOO BookClub

Itching To Get Scratched,
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: G-Spot: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
Nineteen year-old Juicy Stanfield, realizes she has bitten off more than she can chew by becoming the property of the notorious, old enough to be her father, Granite "G" McKay. G, as he is called, is the owner of a nightclub called G-Spot, where patrons pay $1,000 just to enter the door. Once inside
they can partake of a number of illicit activities, for an extra fee, that include: drinking, drugs, lap dances, and sex. When Juicy, who was a virgin before she met G, gets a little taste of sexual freedom, she seeks fulfillment in the arms of G's son, Gino. She feels guilty because G has been taking care of her and her brother since their grandmother's death. Gino is just the opposite of his mean-spirited and domineering father, and Juicy feels safe and protected with him. When G finds out about their little sexcapades, he makes it known that one of them has to die. Filled with quite a few explicit sex scenes, G-SPOT lives up to its name. Some of G's actions where a little far fetched and I found myself asking could this really happen. After pondering over that question for a mere second, I soon realized that by my not being privy to this particular lifestyle, anything is possible. G-SPOT clearly defines the age-old adage, that "nothing in life is free." I truly enjoyed this novel and will wait patiently for Noire's next contribution to the literary community.

A good urban story but I'm not to sure about erotica part.,
By
This review is from: G-Spot: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
It's a G Spot for sure, because it touches the very core of all emotions. This was a hell of story!, first time reading from this author too. Juicy-Mo was just caught up! Had no escape and was from the streets but had no street training. Her main focus was her brother Jimmy and taking care of him. If it wasn't for him I don't think she would have settled for that low down G. He cared for no one but himself and enticed Juicy with his bank. The way he treated his own son proved he had a black heart made of coal. Juicy scarified her life and her soul at the G-Spot for her brother. She loved him to death. But she got what she wanted in between all the rage.
Juicy's tale was definitely an unfortunate one and it was written in such a detailed manner that I felt empathy for her and her brother Jimmy and could totally imagine the scenery and surroundings as if I were there by her side. The characters spoke to you clearly with their actions in the mean streets of NYC. However, the story line seemed a bit extreme and almost bordered on the thin line of impossible. It bothered me that the word "rape" was never used in the novel at all and that was clearly a theme throughout the book. I would have like to see some information in the book letting young women know that they do not have to be subjected to this violent environment regardless of how they came to be in that situation. There is help out there for women like Juicy. I was not convinced at the end that she truly learned that the materialistic life she lived caused her to lose everything that was important in the end. With the trauma that she went through, the average person would need YEARS of counseling to get closure before having a happy ending. True this book does have a combination of "Addicted", "Nervous" and the "Coldest Winter Ever" as many reviewer had stated, but Noire manage to put together a well developed storyline, along with a believable cast. With the recent boom of street and urban literature that has left much to be desired, G-Spot makes its own place in the literary world, making others take note and wanting more from Noire; a name given to her at birth. This book is not for the faint at heart. If sexual, physical graphic violence is a problem for you - this is not the book for you. A MATURE ONLY sticker is highly recommended.

Gritty and Sexy In One Book,
By Book Reading Sistah (Book Stores Nationwide) - See all my reviews
This review is from: G-Spot: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
Noire did the dang thing with this book! I felt so bad for Juicy-Mo, and Jimmy and I hated G so much. This story was so realistic, and there are young girls getting turned out like this every day. I was glad at the end when Juicy came out on top, and I'm reading the Candy Licker as we speak. I look forward to more books from this reader. Job well done!

G-Spot,
This review is from: G-Spot: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
This book was great. You can really learn a lot from reading it. The author really hit the head on the nail with this one because it makes you realize that life is short and that you shouldn't let anyone take that away from you. Buy this book for you.

I've been here before,
By
This review is from: G-Spot: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
The G-spot jacket review says: "The Coldest Winter Ever Meets Addicted." Whenever you get a comparison to other works, you should expect something derivative, and Noire's book is only a partial exception.
Take the Coldest Winter Ever, Sista Souljah's "opus de hood," and keep the same heroine. Keep her with approximately the same age, same obsession with styling top shelf gear, same ravenous sexual appetite and raunchiest language for her exploits, and the same dysfunctional family upbringing. Keep the family mental illness, except turn Winter's crazy, crack-addicted mother into two characters for Juicy - her crazy father and her prostitute, crack addicted mother. (Unfortunately, the ignorance surrounding mental illness is framed the same, giving the impression that "the hood" can't tell the difference between a DSM and DMX). Keep a young man who serves as an "ebony knight" who ultimately (and by some lazy plot conveniences) saves the ladies in the end. Now make some cosmetic changes - the name goes from Winter to Juicy, and the game goes from being a gangsta's daughter to being a jealously possessive gangsta's lover. This is not to say G Spot lacks new angles. Its language is raw, and the brutality inflicted by pimp/nightclub owner "G" exceeds anything in Winter by three shades of black eye. But herein lies the conundrum for the reader/reviewer. Is this book "good" because of character development and colorful prose, or is Noire just willing to serve up "shock schlock" to sate our prurient interests? As you turn the page, half in disbelief, yet half titillated that you have only hit the tip of the iceberg in "rawness," you'll unfortunately have your answer. In short, if you are the type of person who can avoid staring at a car crash, you will absolutely hate this book. But if you are the type who has to stare when you see that sheet on the roadway, you will not be able to put this book down. Not for a second. What that says about us as a society (including myself, as I read it to the end) is tragic. But can I fault Noire for serving, as if it were haute cuisine, the raw carcasses we're so eager to eat? Not in an Amazon review. See you all in counseling.

If you loved "The Coldest Winter Ever", I'm almost certain that you'll love this book. It was a GREAT READ! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a real page turner. I finished it in 2 days and wanted more. Im ready to try more selections by Noire. It was my first time reading her and I was very pleased... GO NOIRE!!!

Everything Is Not Always What It Appears to Be,
By Venessia Young "Mississippi Chocolate Chick" (Ridgeland, MS United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: G-Spot: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
After hearing the title G-spot, I thought this was gonna be a Zane knock-off with no plot just sex. Boy, was I wrong!! Meet Juicy, the seventeen year old girl who was born to a junkie ho and was later taken under her grandmother's strict wings. She and her brother Jimmy were raised sheltered,sexually repressed, and poor until............ she was chosen by Granite McKay, b.k.a. G, the biggest dopeman in Harlem, owner of the exclusive G-Spot club, and the coveter of virgin P***y. He scoped Juicy out and after finding out that she had never been touched, he claimed his right to her and she went from rags to riches. She was glad of this because she only wanted to take care of her brother so that he could make something out of himself in life.
She sooned learned that the glamorous life she had envisioned came with her freedom. G owned her. As long as she waited to have her first night of head-bangin sex, the nine-inch packing G couldn't even touch her G-Spot and only lasted about two minutes. To make matter worse he thought women were nasty so kissing and oral sex were out of the question. So, masturbation for Juicy became an obsession. Juicy wanted to break out and be free but it all came at a cost. She soon found out things about G that were unreal and terrifying, it put her and her brother's life in danger.He wasn't what he seemed, but nothing ever is. This book was a roller coaster of action. I was forced to read it in one sitting where I was laughing, crying, and wanting to take a cold shower . Don't sleep on this one because it is a gem in the midst of lots of street lit out there!!! I didn't even tell half of the stuff that went on because I don't want to spoil this sexy thriller mystery. BUY IT NOW before they run outta copies.

The Grown-Up Reality of a Child, Who has Never Been a Child!!!,
By shamari scott "ASouthernFan" (Houston, Texas but from New Orleans Lousiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: G-Spot: An urban erotic tale by (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the book in about 2 days and I thought it spoke to the young female that thinks money can make you happy. I understood the loyalty she and her brother felt for G. Some may find it had to believe, but sometimes pain with someone is better than pain alone. I have read some of the other reviews, and I have to come with a counter response. Some called the book unrealistic, but those people don't get out often and they don't go to the hood. Men like G. are all over, some may not be as rich, but every bit as cruel. I gave the book 5 STARS, and if I could have given more I would have. Noire Great Book!!!! Keep writing REAL books and I will forever be a FAN!!!!!
