    About this ebook

    If all of the good men are gay, married or in jail... just how far would women go to get one? Frankie figured they'd dig deep into their knock off Prada bags-and she was right! Frankie Brown needs a serious hustle to get her out of the hood or at least allow her to live Hood Rich...After several failed attempts she finally strikes Gold with her new business: The Hook Up... it's a unique dating service that finds the man of your dreams--but there's just one catch... Your future Mr. Right may be on lock down. Despite this, Frankie is hooking up the ladies left and right. Women like Yvette, who's flying solo after she catches her man cheating with three other women. Then there's Carmen who was just about to bust her man creeping with his baby's momma, when he was gunned down in a drive by. And Vicki-the white girl everyone loves to hate--simply has a thing for thugs and wants to find them any way she can. Who says there'd be no war if women ran things? The Hook Up is a fast-paced, drama filled urban tale that's sure to please those who can relate to keeping it real. With the streets of South Central Los Angeles, Compton, and Watts as a backdrop for a ruthless tug of war over money, power, and revenge, these fierce females are about to set it off!

      I have read several of Pat Tucker's books and I have to say this book was very disappointing. The book starts off introducing the characters and describing their failed romantic relationships. This is done to set up the premise of why they would be willing to pay someone to hook them up with a prison "soon to be released" inmate. The whole dating service storyline was very unbelievable - I find it hard to believe any woman would pay $500-$1500 to be paired up with a prison inmate. Then these inmates turn out to be perfect gentlemen when they get out. Only for the reader to later discover some of them had their own motives for participating in the dating service. I found the whole premise of the book and the plots to be a very long stretch of the imagination. They just did not work for me and, therefore, I did not find them entertaining.Unlike her other books, I found the characters in this book very uninteresting. I will have to confess that I even skipped several chapters - it was either skip the chapters or stop reading the book. I think I should have chosen the latter - stop reading the book all together. Thankfully, I have been renting the books from my local library so I was not out of any money. Although, this book was a disappointment, I have already reserved "Proceed with Caution" and "Led Astray". I am willing to check out her other books because "Infidelity" was a great book! So I know the author is capable of writing books that keep you glued to the edge of your seat.
