Book Description

January 2004
In Pretty Boys (three sassy and entertaining novellas) Linda Dominique Grosvenor gives readers a look into the lives of three different classes of women with one single dilemma; pretty boys.

In "Sweet Tooth," Shanta Barrett and her sister Abby listen to the popular call-in radio show Thirty-Something religiously. On a dare she's fixed up on a blind date with an eligible caller. He's good-looking, charming and self-employed, but Shanta is a determined woman with high expectations, will her gorgeous date be able to live up to them?

"Indian Summer," finds Phyllis Henderson struggling to get rid of her on again off again boyfriend Rod, when she meets her single neighbor, handsome biker Levi Jones. She's had her fill of men, but when her apartment is burglarized, her neighbor chivalrously comes to her rescue. However, Phyllis is still convinced that all men want one thing. Will Levi disprove or confirm her suspicions?

In the title story "Pretty Boys," Phaedra Dean finds that when she made the transition from unknown to the glamorous life of a supermodel, one thing didn’t change, her affinity for scrumptious-looking men. Men have always been plentiful in her life, but when her ex-photographer is murdered and she becomes the prime suspect, her boy toy Julian proves one thing, loving the one she’s with may not be the best option.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book Containing Three Excellent Novellas, July 24, 2004
By

This review is from: Pretty Boys (Hardcover)
Author Linda Dominique Grosvenor, delights her reading audience with Pretty Boys, her new book that includes three enjoyable, captivating, lively and enlightening novellas. Sweet Tooth, Pretty Boys and Indian Summer are all astounding novellas that kept my attention from the very beginning until the end and without a doubt left me pondering over the characters long after the completion of the book. Grosvenor's poetic literary style as well as her strong characterization left me satisfied once again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three Enticing Tales, February 3, 2004
By 
Shelia M Goss (Essence Magazine Best-Selling Author of My Invisible Husband, Delilah, Hollywood Deception and more.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pretty Boys (Hardcover)
Each one of the novellas are good enough to stand on its own. I was engrossed in PRETTY BOYS from page one. Shanta in Sweet Tooth reminded me of myself. She was happy by herself, but underneath yearned for 'the one.' Phaedra in Pretty Boys was a character to be reckoned with. She demanded your attention and she definately got it. Watch her transformation from the beginning to the end of the story. Phyllis in Indian Summer had a lot to learn about herself. On her journey, she discovers love in an unlikely place. Three Enticing Tales for the Price of 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and Entertaining..., February 3, 2004
This review is from: Pretty Boys (Hardcover)
In the acknowledgements of Pretty Boys (PB) the author prays that these novellas "teach, entertain and enlighten." Ms. Grosvenor has exceeded her prayers; part mystery, part love story Pretty Boys was a captivating read.

One of the novellas had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to find out why. Why did he do it? Why was her best friend being so evasive? Why did she leave Kelly? In another I was overjoyed at Shanta and her sister Abby's luck at finding their potential love mate in a very unlikely place.

Ms. Grosvenor has five works of fiction, one non-fiction and one poetry book under her belt. An author whose bio is as colorful as a bag of skittles proves she has skills. I was truly entertained by all three stories in Pretty Boys, and look forward to future works by this author.
