Product Description

Essence- bestselling author Kiki Swinson keeps it coming with a gritty, new drama about one cunning sistah playing a very dangerous game with the law.

Playing dirty is a skill that Yoshi Lomax has perfected. By bribing cops and officials, sleeping with her boss, and convincing her friend in the DEA to make evidence disappear, Yoshi has become a top criminal defense attorney. And she has the multi-million dollar Miami pad and Aston Martin to prove it. But when she takes the case of badass Haitian mob boss Sheldon Chisholm, her usual way of doing business--by any means necessary--doesn-t work. Someone has gotten to the people on her payroll and her funds are beginning to dwindle. Now she has no choice but to defend a dangerous murderer with nothing but her brains and the law. And while an unknown enemy keeps trying to sabotage her, Sheldon makes it very clear what-s at stake. Either Yoshi wins the case. . .or loses her life.

3.0 out of 5 stars She really was Playing dirty, April 22, 2009
Yoshi Lomax had it all:A career as a lawyer,good looks,the crib and car and the wardrobe to go with it and her own money.On the flip side,Yoshi bribed people and represented wealthy clients but still that wasn't enough.Yoshi's character was money hungry and selfish.It was never enough for her.She was so full of herself and her greed is what got her into all the stuff she was in.Now I found this book to be an okay read.It had a slow start and I will admit after I got passed the slow parts it picked up but what killed it for me was the ending.I didnt like how it played out even though there will be a sequel.I will read the sequel to see what Yoshi is up to.The book could have ended sooner rather than later.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sequel for what? 2.5 stars, August 16, 2009
I ordered Playing Dirty from Black Expressions and was soooooo disappointed when I read it. Ms. Swinson's skills seem to be on the downslide. For Yoshi to be so successful, she was shallow and unintelligent. She seemed to be so saavy in the courtroom, but when it came to everything else she was naive. From her cocaine addiction to being a court officer caught with drugs in her car. This book had no real substance or plot. It definitely was not good enough for a sequel. It was already short so this author could have just put the two books together to tell one mediocre story. The first two wifey's seem to be all that this writer could produce well because all of her books after that have been horrible. It's not worth the fifteen bucks. Choose something else and leave this one on the shelves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Being Bougie and Low Down Can Cost You..., November 29, 2009
By Dawn Chambray (Michigan, United States) - See all my reviews
It can cost you friends, contacts and your life if you're not careful. This book shows how the stuck up Yoshi puts the lives of everyone around her including herself in danger. By not working hard but scheming her way to the top. For what some money and status? High profile players in this game are getting caught and paying the price for dealing with this broad. Don't ever risk your life for money or status. It's not worth it. Now what does Yoshi get for it...set up and being on the run.
