Lady First [Paperback]

Relentless Aaron (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 13, 2007

Spencer knows he doesn’t have but so many chances left.  He’s trying to stay off the streets, but bagging groceries in the local supermarket is just not bringing in the kind of cash he wants.  And then in a very unlikely turn of events, an obviously well off woman walks into his supermarket, looking out of place and more beautiful than any other woman Spencer has seen.  When he goes out of his way to assist her, she offers him a job.  Tia Stern is looking for a new personal assistant and Spencer just might be the man for the job.  The pay is more than he could dream of and the hustler within sees this as a chance to make it into something even more. And when it quickly becomes clear that Tia wants an assistant who is personal in more ways than one, Spencer is more than happy to oblige.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In Aaron's latest steamy relationship drama (after Extra Marital Affairs) a sharp African-American kid goes from bagging groceries to bedding a famous retired African-American TV actress and co-creating a successful modeling firm, Premium Fudge Unlimited. Only problem is, Spencer Lewis gets a lot more than he bargained for when he becomes Tia Stern's personal assistant to handle the common things in life. That includes cleaning her bathroom, helping her spend her divorce settlement and being at her beck and call in the bedroom and out. Becoming her live-in help is fine by Spence and he's thankful for the fabulous perks, including his new digs in the moneyed part of Stamford, Conn., and Tia's help in launching his dream modeling agency. But her dramatic, self-obsessed ways begin to bother him, especially after they hire Cassandra Evans to help manage Premium Fudge. Suddenly, being Tia's nurturing confidant with hot young models around, plus two women who want his body begins to spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e. Aaron's depiction of Tia as the dream woman–turned–nightmare devouring diva is over-the-top, but that's Aaron's style, and the book's a hoot. (Nov.)

This review is from: Lady First (Paperback)

Spencer Lewis is your average eighteen year old male from the hood working at the local food store. In walks rich divorcee Tia Stern who notices his helpful manner and decides he's just what she looking for in a personal assistant. Spencer is more than interested when Tia offers him a job knowing his pay will be double what he's currently making. Eager to start saving money Spencer proves to be the ultimate assistant and Tia uses this to her advantage.

Over time the two become close and Spencer reveals his hopes and dreams to Tia who with her money and contacts slowly begins to make his dreams become a reality. "Premium Fudge Unlimited" is born and the operation is run from Tia's estate in Connecticut.

With "Premium Fudge Unlimited" targeting the entertainment/advertisement media audiences, of course some serious female eye candy had to be hired to represent!

Will being the president of his own company change Spencer?
Will Tia become jealous of Spencer's young beautiful employees?
Why is Spencer becoming suspicious of Tia?

I am a big fan of Relentless Aaron's books, but this one was just ok for me.
This novel reminded me of a previous novel written by him, but the other novel was better by far...
There was a good twist to this story, and I loved the Premium Fudge concept. But I felt there could have been a bit more drama involving the girls...I just don't believe that some many women lived under the same roof and EVERYONE got along!
