Pages : 226
Book Description
From African-American fiction staple Niqui Stanhope comes She's Gotta Have It, a story of a woman's one last fling... Camille Roberts is about to marry a very wealthy, much older man. She has told her best friend, Lola St. James, that she will only marry for money and not for love. She is convinced that she is not the corporate type. In fact, she has underlined the fact that she would be perfectly comfortable just staying at home and looking after an entire pack of kids. But, any dreams of children will have to be shelved since her older fiancé (57 years old), has already raised three children of his own - two girls and a boy - all of whom are excelling in their respective careers, and has neither the time nor the interest in becoming a father again. He has told her that he will not change his mind on this matter, and so she will just have to console herself with all the things his money can buy her. Camille is forced to make a hard choice. Marry for love and live a modest traditional life with a good, nine-to-five working man, or marry for money and live the lavish jet-setting life of the rich and famous. Camille chooses to go for the money, and a lavish wedding is planned. But, two months before her scheduled nuptials, Camille decides to treat herself to one final fling of the riotous kind. A "get your groove back," trip to Jamaica, where she will - for one final time, deliberately seek out and bed the sexiest, most booty-licious young man she can find - before settling down to a life of placid sexuality.

Book Description
She's Gotta Have It: A Hood Love Story is the tale of three sisters, Andi, Zooey, and Josalyn Richardson, who were abandoned at a young age by their globetrotting parents. Forced to live with their rich and overbearing grandparents, the girls grow up privileged and very entitled. When their grandparents suddenly die, the sisters inherit a large amount of money, and are finally able to live as they please; a lifestyle their poor grandparents would've never approved of. Andi and Zooey are determined to make their dreams come true, and will do anything and anyone they need to in order to get there. They will lie, scheme, and maybe even murder. Josalyn, on the other hand, is more interested in living a normal life, despite her sisters' advice. She want's someone who will love her for her, not someone who is number one on the charts. As they wished, the sisters are thrust into Hollywood by way of their very famous significant others, including unwilling participant Josalyn. All is well until they realize that these famous men are not all that they're cracked up to be. Some are crazy, overbearing, and very taken. To make matters worse, while attempting to achieve fame and fortune, Andi and Zooey develop a reputation for themselves that seems to precede them wherever they go. Will they realize that their reputation is more important than scheming to bed a famous man? Or will it be too late? On the brighter side, Josalyn seems to have snagged the man of her dreams in rapper Cassian, but is he really the man of her worst nightmare? She's Gotta Have It is filled with deceit, murder, love, lies, and plenty of sex.
