What happens when you combine one part fast-talker, one part hustler and one part taste for danger? You get Honey Davis; a twenty one year old Harlemite who knows what she wants and knows exactly how to get it. When her parents cut her off from her trust fund after a bout of irresponsibility, the spoiled Honey knows she's going to have to work to get back on her feet. But growing up an overpriveleged child hasn't left her with the skills needed to survive in the corporate world. So Honey takes matters into her own hands. Using her taste for alcohol and her finely tuned skill for attracting men, Honey turns her desperate situation into a turn for the better, sucking dry the pockets of every man she meets. No bar is safe when she comes around and neither is any wallet. Everything is smooth sailing until the unexpected happens and her past comes back to haunt her at the same time. Now smooth-talking, fast-walking Honey will have to protect an innocent life as well as her own while she desperately seeks to turn back the hands of time.

Shot Glass Diva was neither completely boring or off the seat, page turning. It was just in between. Honey Davis is a teenager who comes from a rich but strict family. After betraying her family, they kick Honey to the curb and she moves with her boyfriend down south. After things go bittersweet there and Honey gets older, she decides from now on men have to pay big bucks to be with her. She soon meets her jackpot, Sammie Lee. She plays the ultimate role as his mistress and gets great benefits and everything seems wonderful for Honey. However, things go wrong again when Sammie Lee's wife is murdered and everyone thinks Honey's the murderer. On top of that, Honey learns that her other love is in danger. Now she has to grow up, prove she isn't the murderer and fight for her young daughter. Luckily she has lifelong friends to help. Shot Glass Diva was a decent read, not absolutely have-to-read fantastic but not downright terrible either, just an ok urban fiction read. 3/5.

Conquer and Defeat,
This review is from: Shot Glass Diva (Paperback)
Growing up with the best of everything was nothing new to Honorina Estelle Davis, simply known as "Honey." Coming from wealthy parents, Honey experienced the good life: the best clothes, culture, anything that Honey wanted, she got it. But sometimes looks can be deceiving. Honey did not get along with her strict and domineering mother who had a drinking problem, and Honey rebelled in the worst way. Sex and alcohol became accustomed to Honey at a young age. When Honey brings shame to the Davis name, she is "cut off" from her trust fund and is left on her own. Honey does what she knows best, hustle. Honey learns fast and quick how to get what she wants from men. Whatever is needed to get the job done, even if it includes drugging men and unsuspecting victims, Honey is down for it. Honey then comes across Sammie who turns her world upside down. Now a suspect in a murder, how will Honey get out of this mess?
Mikaylo was Honey's first love. He was eighteen, half black and Puerto Rican. Mikaylo was a pretty boy who could speak fluent Spanish and keep it hood when he wanted to. When Honey discovers she is pregnant, she looks to Mikaylo to come up with a plan to get her out of the situation. But the plan involves leaving her child with people she doesn't even know. Upon the birth of their daughter, is Mikaylo the stand-up guy he appears to be? Ritchie, a friend of Honey's from back in the day, is known as a "booster." Anything you need, Ritchie can get it. He takes Honey under his wing as her mentor. He teaches her the trade of everything he knows and also opens up his home to Honey. But Ritchie has problems of his own: a crazy girlfriend named Tatiana who doesn't buy the platonic relationship between Honey and Ritchie. What is Ritchie supposed to do? Should he put his friend out on the street to appease Tatiana, or end his relationship with his girlfriend altogether? Sammie Lee was an investment broker who meets Honey. He offers her a proposition she can't turn down: the job as a "mistress." Her living expenses and a condo are all at her disposal as long as she is available when he needs her. Sometimes everything that looks good isn't always good. When Sammie Lee's wife is murdered, more skeletons come out the closet, including questions about sexuality, lies, and deceit. Is Sammie the man he says he is? Shot Glass Diva was an interesting read. It showed how one person can go from wealth without a care in the world to being on the other side, hustling and doing whatever it takes to survive. I enjoyed the book because it showed the growth of the main character Honey. She went from being a spoiled brat to a mature mother doing whatever she has to do to regain the custody of her daughter after she finds out her daughter is in foster care. I also like how Jacki Simmons gave detailed background on all the characters involved because it allowed you to set the scene and get a grasp of the storyline better.
