Product Description

Chastity Jones is the real thing. She s beautiful, she s classy, and she s got money to spend. Other people s money. As long as there are men around, 19-year-old Chastity will be rolling in their dough. It wasn t always like that her father was sent to prison when she was 16, and after being placed in a foster home, she was brutally raped. She runs away, and starts stripping at a men s club, and there she catches the eye of Legend, a mysterious and handsome 6-4 hunk with straight black hair that hangs over his shoulders. His brownstone parties are famous attended by celebrities, ballers, and hustlers alike. But the real parties are in his basement; sex parties that include girl-on-girl action, and even kinkier fare. His parties are so successful he easily clears $25,000 to $40,000 a weekend. For Chastity it s love at first sight, but try as she might Legend only treats her like a little sister and under his tutelage Chastity is soon hanging with the big dawgs. They buy her cars, pay the rent on her condo, buy her expensive jewelry and take her on shopping sprees. But the man she wants most shows her no romantic interest; and that s Legend. And then she meets Hunter he s a drug kingpin with millions of dollars, and also Legend s cousin and he falls for Chastity in a big way. Suddenly Chastity is caught up in a whirlwind of money, sex, drugs and danger and the only way out lies in death.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa! This book is sexy as all hell!, December 19, 2008
By Cynthia Robinson (Bronx, New York) - See all my reviews

Raw tells the story of Chastity Jones, a street-smart 19-year-old young woman from Harlem whose father killed her mother when she was 16. After being sexually assaulted while in foster care (and boy, is the rape told in vivid detail!) she runs away and becomes a stripper in a men's club. It's there that she meets Legend Foster. He's a mysterious and gorgeous man who makes a mint by hosting parties for ballers and athletes in his Harlem brownstone. His parties are so famous, that people are willing to pay hundreds and thousands just to get into the VIP section. And let me tell you, some of the things that goes on in those parties will have you panting, sweating, and embarrassed to keep reading, but unable to stop reading!
Legend takes Chastity under his wing, and teaches her all the tricks to get men to spend big time money on her, and soon she's the toast of the town. But she's also fallen in love with Legend. But while she thinks he MIGHT be interested in her, he never makes a play.
Then she meets his cousin, Hunter. Sparks fly immediately, especially after he takes her shopping at Tiffany's and Winston's, and flies her to places like the Bahamas just to do more shopping.
But when Legend finds out that Chastity and Hunter has become an item he has a fit.
No, this is not like some of the urban erotica books where the main female character is beat up by the man (or men) in her life (come on, what's sexy about that?); I've read way too many of those books, as it is. This is a book about sex, love, lust, and money . . . and a woman who decides she wants it all -- and gets it all. The only question is, can she come out on top.
I cannot believe that this a debut book, and I really found it incredible when I heard that the author was only 21.
Raw is an incredible book. Incredibly written, and and incredibly exciting. And incredibly sexy!
And I'm just hoping there's a Part II!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but not exactly RAW, July 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Im ah book fanatic.. Read the best authors like omar, nikki turner & noire!! I noticed that ah reviewer said this was close to a noire book.. Confused??? Not 2 talk down about this author b/c it was ah great book, done in a day and ah half but it couldnt been better. First things that were wrong was the book start off 2 fake.. I luv 2 read these hood novels b/c it feels kinda real like what we go thru out here in our local hoods but this book started out talkin bout sum gurl getting $9000 from sum dude. Not sayin it cant happen but it jus didnt seem as real. Then the editing was bad, that were sooo many typos and mess ups. But other wise very very good book. Next time the author should cum slower into the book before puttin out such big money makin. Make it seem real.. I jus new i was reading ah book most when most times i feel like im in reality.. But good start and i would consider buying another 1 though.

4.0 out of 5 stars RAW..., January 22, 2009
APOOO Rating: 4 stars
Amazon Rating: 4 stars

Ninteen year-old Chasity Jones seems to have it all. She is beautiful, classy and has plenty of money. That is...other people's money. She has men buying her cars, a condo, jewelry and taking her on shopping sprees.

When Chasity was sixteen, her father was sent to prison for murdering her mother and she was placed in a foster home. After being raped, she runs away and starts stripping at a men's club. This is where she meets the infamous Legend, who throws all the hottest underground parties. Where you will see some of the most famous celebrities, ballers and hustlers attending. Legend's sex parties include pretty much anything and everything, the kinkier they are, the better. Legend takes Chasity under his wing and teaches her how to use her assets to get what she wants and more, and although there is an attraction between the two, they keep it strictly professional.

When Hunter, a drug kingpin, whom also happens to be Legend's cousin, meets Chasity he falls for her instantly. Chasity figures if she cannot have the one she really wants, why not be with the closest thing to it. Little does she realize she may be in over her head. When dealing with a kingpin, danger lurks and death is looming around the corner.

Raw by Shay was a very entertaining read. It had me totally engrossed. A few chapters into the story, my mouth literally dropped open...like, no Shay didn't. The story is raw and uncut. Shay just may be crowned the new "queen of erotica."
