Camille Roberts is determined that she will only marry for money. Love comes in a poor second for her in SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT by Niqui Stanhope. She has found a 57-year-old rich man who has asked her to marry him. He's not much in the love department, and he doesn't want any children, but she's willing to forego all that for the unlimited credit card he gave her while they were engaged and the thought of her life of leisure after they are married. Knowing what she'll be giving up and feeling the need for one last mad lovemaking session, she travels to Jamaica on her friend's private jet for a final fling. She is determined to find the most sexy, good-looking man for a one-night stand because she doesn't believe in being an unfaithful wife, even if her husband isn't interested in satisfying her physical needs. What she doesn't count on is falling head over heels for that one-night stand: a poor Jamaican hustler, or so she thinks. Just how important is money to her after all?

This is an amusing romp through the fairy tale life of Camille Roberts. It is well written and definitely makes you want to visit Jamaica to see the island paradise for yourself. There are enough twists in the plot to keep if from becoming an ordinary romance story. At times the suspense gets a bit tense, forcing you to continue to turn those pages.

Camille Roberts is marrying for money as she knows the comforts of wealth make up for her itch not properly scratched by her Anthony. Camille is staying at the exclusive Hedonism III on northern Jamaica as her final groove before she ties the knot. At a masquerade party, she meets attorney Harry Britton. That night on the sheets she finds her groove; Harry does too though she wore her mask throughout their sexual encounter. In the morning light, Camille is gone leaving diamonds behind as a payment.

The son of Guyana's Prime Minister Harry has access to strong support when he requires it. He needs it because he wants more from this mysterious Camille who flew back to the states in a private jet. He begins his search for her while she wonders if her safe marriage is worth the effort as she cannot get Britton out of her mind or her rebellious body. When Harry finds her as he knows he will; he plans to kiss her all over, but hide his affluent background from her.

HE'S GOTTA HAVE IT, the sequel to WHATEVER LOLA WANTS, is a delightful contemporary romance starring two likable protagonists. The key to Niqui Stanhope's tale is that although Camille appears ready to marry for money, she remains a nice person. The return of Lola in a strong supporting role adds depth of understanding what motivates Camille to go for the money though many readers will not like her attitude anyway. Harry is a fine counterpart to Camille as they reverse perceptions about one another. Fans will want to read Ms. Stanhope's fine tale.
