Product Description:
Samair Jones is fed up with being a pushover for her boss and for her two-timing boyfriend. All she wants is to live by her own rules. Then she meets hot nightclub owner Valentine Ward and the decadent possibilities of answering only to herself become daringly clear. Especially when Valentine is willing to indulge every one of Samair's fantasies- no strings attached. At least none that Samair can see. Then she meets Valentine's powerful, jealous, and dangerously manipulative ex-wife Vera. Vera's about to throw a new kink into Samair and Valentine's games. But this one could be trouble.

Ms White effectively mixes sex and plot in "Trouble." Simple, easy to read with spice added. I look forward to the subsequent installment in her erotic romance books. Would definitely recommend this and her other works.

I love the growth of the relationship here--Samair might have been all about letting loose, and getting off on someone who was willing to fulfull her every fantasy--but through each interaction the relationship between these two just grew, the need suddenly not for just standard trust, but the more intimate, scary type of trust surfaces--and it wasn't Samair weho needed to fight that demon--it was Val....
I read my books a little backwards here as I had originally read "Wicked" first--loved it, and made a mad dash to the nearest book store to get Trouble--Boy am I glad I did!!!

I am an avid reader of erotic books, but for me to find one enjoyable, I prefer a good story along with the steamy sex. This book had no story to speak of, but what was worse, the characters were awful, and not developed. I didn't care if they were together or not. Believe it or not the writing was worse than everything I mentioned above. The sex scenes were forced between two characters we cared nothing about. I only got in the very first 100 pages, as that was all I could stomach. Spend your hard earned cash on something else.

Am I the only person who couldn't take this book seriously? I'm all for erotica books that have hot sex scenes and not much plot or character development to speak of (after all, who reads erotica for a plot?)... but this was just ridiculous. I can't take this book seriously because the writing is just so cheesy and awful.
I'll give you some examples of some of the horrible, cheesy writing that I simply could not overcome:
- "Saturday night and the place was packed and the music was pumpin'." (pumpin'?!)
- "She worked crappy hours in a small boutique so she could be near what she really loved: clothes." (What a poor, noble soul!)
- "... turned to see a striking readhead climb into one of the platform cages and start shaking her booty." (her "booty?" Is this book written for 15 year olds?)
- "Three steps from the top she saw a good-looking stud on his way up." ("stud???" seriously?)
And by the way, these quotes are all from the very first seven pages. I couldn't make it past page 20. Especially when the way the male love interest was described reminded me disturbingly of Steven Seagal.
I have no doubt that the sex scenes are steamy and plenty throughout this novel. But any intelligent person might have a hard time getting past the horrifically cheesy writing, one-dimensional characters (our heroine loves clothes and *sigh* poor thing, she lives a "boring" life and it's the worst thing in the world!!!), and the ridiculousness of their so-called attraction to one another (he sees her across the dance club and thinks she has nice hair and tits, and he buys her a drink so she has sex with him).
I love erotica, but come on, it has to be slightly believable! (VERY slightly... and even then, this book doesn't cut it).
