This book was a quick read, that showed the side of men getting hurt in the game. Tryin' to be a playa and look where it got them. A must read!!!!

I felt so bad for Carter in the end. He had me laughing at him something awful..I loved this story. DSJ, you have done the dang thing. Keep up the good work. Roy Glenn, of course, U did your thing...your story was bananas, keep your fingers tapping. Jahid's story, Who's your daddy was amazing??? I hollard..keep up the good work...

A page turner. When I pick up a book, I expect it to capture my attention right away and keep it with some twists and turns. This book is just that, three different writers, three different stories, with three different outcomes. This book has something for everyone. I especially enjoyed Dwayne S. Joseph's story of a man who fell into the life of being a gigolo and had his world turned upside down because the next thing he fell into was love. My first time reading Roy Glenn and Jihad, both stories had me talking to the characters and laughing out loud.

After reading Mr Joseph's story, I could have closed the book. I've never read anything by the other two authors but after reading their efforts in this book, I'm not encouraged to purchase their work.

I love this book a very good story great read I learned a lot from carter and samantha or sam about taking care of your woman right.sam had to be a super fox to get a man with skills to change his game an become more positive an real 5 stars I would buy his next book if he does another great job CS out

I thought about being a gigolo... dont kno about that after reading this..

Jihad has managed to pull us in with another one---- a tale that is so real that you would swear it is about someone that you know! One of the things that gets me about his contribution to GIGOLOS is the way he is able to bring social issues such as HIV to the fore, giving the reader more than just a sexy tale. He makes you think a bit as well. Kudos to you, man.

I picked up this book only because Dwayne Joseph was a contributing writer. I was disappointed. Only When You're Lonely wasn't terrible... It was just a bit far-fetched and didn't grab me. Carter was a self-confident player in the beginning simply concerned about the $ signs and nothing else. He does a 180 and becomes smitten for Sam in a love-at-first sight episode that I couldn't connect with. Sure the feelings they had for one another were confessed...but it didn't seem real. Maybe because the story wasn't long enough? Who knows? Even the way Carter got caught up seemed fake. After this disappointing read, I barely gave the other two stories a chance before losing interest in the book. I wasn't a fan of Jihad's writing style and Roy Glenn's story was just filler.

Dwayne, get with it again. I couldn't even believe you wrote this tiredness. I would like to see more work from you like Choices, The Womanizers, and your contribution to Dollar. I won't give up on you yet.

Dwayne Joseph opens up this novel with a story about a gigolo who is making straight cheddar,he finally falls in love but then has to choose between his getting money career or his new love in his life you will be shocked by the twists in this story. Roy Glenn comes in next with Playa Chronicles the ending will leave your jaw on the floor. This was a very realistic thing taht could happen if you don't keep it real with people's feelings.
And last but most certainly not least is Jihad. Jihad is doing big things in this read. He is by far a wonderful great AA author who I feel is going to bring avid readers nothing but the best his stories just keep getting better and better each time that I have read him. He is a very intelligent smart brother who is going to take you the reader on a ride that you won't soon forget. I hope to see his short story "Who's Your Daddy" as it's own novel someday.

Once I picked up this book and saw DSJ name on the cover I already knew his story was going to be off the chain and I was right it was not a disappointing story and I really hope he bring back those characters in the future.

In DSJ story: Money makes it way over love and the consequences one had to take makes readers realize; don't let a good thing go.

In RG story: I hate to say this but I wasn't feeling his story; I lost track of some of the characters. But let me say I've read some of RG's work and it is good. I believe he's not used to really writing these types of stories/story lines. Overall he's still a hot author. Keep um coming RG:)

In J story: All I gotta say is DRAMA..DRAMA....DRAMA...OH AND MORE DRAMA. Story was off the hook; I never read anything by this author, but now that I did. He has a new fan now.
