Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Jason Richards is a plain and safe kind of guy. He recently began working at a prestigious law firm and aspires to make partner. When the dud case he has dumped on him is settled, he receives a $4-million bonus. Jason shares the news about his good fortune with Steven Cox, the other black attorney at the firm. Steven casually introduces Jason to the eight-step Titan lifestyle, in which men abide by a code of conduct. Steven rationalizes that with his good looks and charm and Jason's money, they can become a powerful team and truly live the Titan lifestyle. Jason begins to fall for Carol, a woman from his past who is following Diva magazine's friends-to-lovers plan. Jason follows the instructions to lure Carole into a friendship with benefits while living the Titan lifestyle with Steven. Just when Jason gives up the lifestyle and Carole is convinced the plan is working, Jason's indiscretions are exposed. Their relationship is in turmoil, and only real friends will be able to weather the storm. An engrossing story. Lillian Lewis

Product Description
Lawrence C. Ross, Jr.'s irresistible debut novel charts one man's journey of self discovery through a series of wild, unforgettable adventures...

His profile as an up-and-coming attorney at the powerful Los Angeles law firm of Ketchings & Martin doesn't quite jibe with the fact that Jason Richards barely has a social life, much less a love life. So when his smooth-talking colleague Steven Cox entreats Jason to join him on a regimen of sex, style, and more sex touted by the men's magazine, Titan, Jason is intrigued. Under Steven's tutelage, Jason soon gets with the program--and suddenly nights are filled with supermodels, swanky loft parties, a fine Ducati motorcycle, and all the hot sistahs he could ask for--if he even had to ask.

But something--someone, really--is making Jason itch to break the Titan code. Carole Brantford, the beautiful director of Mama's House, a community center for single mothers, has Jason longing to get back to a real life that's headlined by real feelings for a real woman. But then he agrees to one last party, this time at his place. Little does he know that what's about to go down will change everything... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Are you a Titan man?, September 11, 2006
By jgrier (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This is a story about a man talked into living a wild party lifestyle based on Titan Magazine. The main characters were Steve who upward bound in his career but naive and Carol who was Steve's bitter ex from college who caught him cheating. The plus is it's a good storyline. The minuses are it's predictable, too much cursing, and dry humor. The book was hard to put down because even though it is predictable it does has some graphic sex scenes which are well done.
