Nineteen year-old Chasity Jones seems to have it all. She is beautiful, classy and has plenty of money. That is…other people’s money. She has men buying her cars, a condo, jewelry and taking her on shopping sprees.
When Chasity was sixteen, her father was sent to prison for murdering her mother and she was placed in a foster home. After being raped, she runs away and starts stripping at a men’s club. This is where she meets the infamous Legend, who throws all the hottest underground parties. Where you will see some of the most famous celebrities, ballers and hustlers attending. Legend’s sex parties include pretty much anything and everything, the kinkier they are, the better. Legend takes Chasity under his wing and teaches her how to use her assets to get what she wants and more, and although there is an attraction between the two, they keep it strictly professional.
When Hunter, a drug kingpin, whom also happens to be Legend’s cousin, meets Chasity he falls for her instantly. Chasity figures if she cannot have the one she really wants, why not be with the closest thing to it. Little does she realize she may be in over her head. When dealing with a kingpin, danger lurks and death is looming around the corner.
Raw by Shay was a very entertaining read. It had me totally engrossed. A few chapters into the story, my mouth literally dropped open…like, no Shay didn’t. The story is raw and uncut. Shay just may be crowned the new “queen of erotica.”
