Relentless Aaron (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 29, 2009

Welcome to Fool’s Paradise where the women are devious, the men are ruthless, and the raw, undeniable climate of smut dominates. This is Douglass Gilmore’s kingdom, a family business that grew to become one of New York City’s premier adult clubs. But money, power, and seduction makes for an explosive combination—and something dangerous is about to go down…

The most famous stripper at Fool’s Paradise has been gunned down in the parking lot. Was it a lovers’ quarrel? A rivalry between jealous dancers? Or a deliberate attempt to destroy the man behind the curtain? Douglass has won plenty of enemies in the business. Now, with the cops, the FBI, and the mob at his door, everything is on the line…and Douglass has only once chance to defend the family empire—or lose it all.

The book never clearly told a continuos story, too many sub-plots that were "forgotten" for most of the book. Read more like a documentary that a mystery thriller I expected

Relentless Aaron is a very detailed and great writer. I love his books and have read several of them. I love that he includes diverse characters and players to spice up the novels. I want to know when they will be made into a movie. Continue the great work. I look forward to reading more of them in the very near future. Pearl I.
