The Total Package !!, July 3, 2007
This review is from: Paper Doll (Paperback)
Karen Whitaker always dreamed of being rich and famous as a young girl. She wanted the fancy cars and a house on a hill for her mother. Now a grown woman, Karen's little girl materialistic dreams become a dangerous obsession with money, sex, and power. Karen now has the beauty and brains to get what she wants no matter what the cost. She doesn't care whose toes she has to step on in order to get to the top. But Karen's thirst for the high life may be the death of her when some questionable situations are brought to light that may destroy her career and her relationship with a multi-millionaire. Karen also needs to deal with a shocking revelation from her past that will turn her world upside down. Will Karen come out of all this drama unscathed or will she hit rock bottom?
Paper Doll is an electrifying page-turner by Nicolette. Nicolette brings readers in head first into the fast world of Karen Whitaker. This author does an excellent job of character development when creating Karen. On one hand, you love her for trying to make sure she never gets the short end of the stick in life by going to college and having a stable, professional career. On the other hand, you hate her for her ghetto, risky, money-hungry mentality. These two very different sides are what make Karen such a wonderful character. Readers will find several unique, jaw dropping twists that will keep you glued to the pages until the very end. This novel wouldn't be complete without a good helping of mind blowing sex scenes. The hard lesson in this story is that what goes around comes around. From the book cover, the storyline, and the characters, Paper Doll is the total package. This novel is hot, tantalizing with the right amount of drama, sex, and street grittiness that will leave you highly anticipating a sequel. With Paper Doll, Nicolette proves that she has what it takes to make it in the literary industry.

Worthy Debut, June 13, 2007
This review is from: Paper Doll (Paperback)
It's killing me not to be able to share, word for word, what occurred in "Paper Doll". LOL
It's an excellent read. The main character, "Karen" or "Kay" reminds me of Winter Santiago (The Coldest Winter Ever). The comparison is not to say that the author has "copied" anyone's style. I feel that Nicolette is in a class all of her own.
In "Paper Doll", there's plenty of drama and more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
In my opinion, "Paper Doll" is a debut worthy of admiration. I look forward to reading Nicolette's upcoming work.

Nicolette did a wonderful job in this novel. She showed you how greed and wanting to always be on top can be the down fall in anyone's life. Well done
