4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to Stew's world..., April 26, 2005

PlatinumDolls.com - nothing beats a fantasy fulfilled! If you want it, Platinum Dolls has it. All types of beautiful women to tickle your fancy coast to coast, from the ghetto chick to the beach babe to the southern belle. As the owner of Platinum Dolls, Stew Gregory is sitting pretty. What started out as a small-time amateur Internet web page is now a multimillion dollar conglomerate. Stew is making money hand over fist. The black Hugh Hefner has homes across the U.S, garages full of "toys," and beautiful women at his beck and call all pledging their loyalty to him. It can't get better than this, right?
The good times come to an abrupt halt when a platinum doll is murdered. Yes murdered at a beach party. Who could have done this? Was it a random killing or was she the intended target? Being the consummate businessman, Stew rallies the troops. The show must go on. That is until more platinum dolls across the country end up dead. Is someone trying to sabotage Stew's business? Is Stew next? Has his dream become a nightmare? Who else must die before the sinister plot is revealed?

Initially I had not intended to read anything more from this author after previously being disappointed by a book that had MAJOR hype surrounding it. But being an avid reader, I decided to give this author one more chance. I was pleasantly surprised and drawn into this erotic thriller of lust, murder and mayhem. It was good and I recommend it as a read. I do take issue though with the self proclamations of this author being the "father of urban fiction." While he did his thing in this book, claiming such a weighty title is absurd. Remember an author by the name of Donald Goines? I sure do. Recognize the great ones that paved the way and made this thing here possible. Issue two - the back of the book. OMG! It looked like still photos from a cheesy amateur porn flick. Please STOP! All in all though, it was an enjoyable read.

This review is from: Platinum Dolls (Paperback)

At 28 Stew Gregory is multimillionaire entreprenueur. His business, PLATINUM DOLLS INDUSTRIES, a porn website operating from several locations around the world. Californina, New York, Seattle, and North Carolina just to name a few.
Stew has hundreds of girls working for him selling sex fantasies to an audience of men who click onto Platinum dolls dot com. Business is going great for this web porn king until someone targets his empire for destruction. Girls are being killed off and although the media coverage of the murders draws more interest and money to the business, Stew is mortified about what is happening to his world.
Treat yourself to a thrilling ride while Stew and his associates try to find out why and who is behind the killings. Mystery, suspense, sex and drama are all rolled into this one great book making it a satisfying read. Stew is suave and sexy he lives every man's fantasy. The women have interesting personalties. One character stood out for me and that was "Brianna" who seem to be a smart wise woman.
Relentless Aaron has shown he has versatility and originality in this fast paced well plotted novel. I can't wait to read his latest, "Rappers R in Danger".

This review is from: Platinum Dolls (Paperback)

What an imagination on the part of the author! WHEW! It's loaded with suspense, drama and fantasy. I was hooked reading the book from the page "one".

The story is fascinating as you try to solve the murders.

The suspense is intense in the storyline! The story is much more than just sex (and yes it's there...but not the way you think it is); it's the murders and beatings (and not of who you would think), the deception, the glamour, the travel and too many more things to mention ( I don't want to give away the book), will have your brains twisted and going through roller coaster emotions when you read this novel. It's even comical at points... PUSH (by the same author) was a great read as well,...but Platinum Dolls is in a whole different category.. It was refreshing to see this author's talent is not limited to only thug novels. Congratulations Relentless Aaron, and WHEN is your next book????
