Nasty (Zane Presents)

This review is from: Nasty (Zane Presents) (Paperback)

Nicola is a newly divorced and beautiful woman. But she harbors a lot of bitterness and resentment due to things that happened in her life. She takes out her aggression through sex and takes out every man in her path. But when she set her sights on an unsuspecting family, there may be disastrous consequences for all that are involved. Nicola first gets involved with a young music executive name Carlos. Carlos is a playboy that's not looking for a long term relationship. Carlos quickly changes his mind when Nicola starts a steamy affair with him. Unbeknownst to Carlos, Nicola also has his brother Jonathan in her clutches. Jonathan is a young man that has successfully practiced abstinence until Nicola seduces him. Things get even more confusing as Carlos' mother reunites with her first love, who is also the father of his older brother Tarik.

Nasty is an entertaining and thought provoking novel by Dr. XyZ. This author brought us a twisted tale that has very realistic consequences. Dr. XyZ did a wonderful job of linking all of the characters to one another. This story serves as a public service announcement of how the HIV and AIDS epidemic is still alive and well. It also shows the end result of promiscuous behavior and how everyone needs to be responsible for their own protection. It would have been nice if the author delved more into the past of Nicola's mother, but maybe that will be explained in a future book. Nasty is a gripping and raw debut novel by Dr. XyZ.
