She is on the mend after battling with depression, a fight which culminated in a failed suicide attempt the year before we meet her. While this might prompt some to think that she has been completely babied her entire life, it just goes to shed light on the internal growth that Alexis has had to work on, both within the context of story and even before we meet her. She comes from a family of privilege who has achieved much and they have the money and abundance to show for it. I think it’s clear that she was my favorite character.Īlexis Chambers is an 18 year old who has had to do some quick growth of her own in a completely different way.

She didn’t let her profession define her and her strength was incredibly admirable. I found her to be thoughtful, kind, compassionate, bright, witty, charming, respectful, level headed, logical, and a strong woman who wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself and what she believed in. She had a real personality that jumped off the page at you. She thought about what she wanted, she decided on it, and then she went after it with spunk and tenacity. What I loved about Trisha was that she didn’t feel sorry for herself. But what I found is that Trisha doesn’t spend one minute bemoaning her situation or even dwelling that much on how difficult her life is. She is living on her own, supporting herself, helping her mother with finances and putting herself through college with the money she makes from working as a stripper. Trisha Hamilton is a 20 year old who has had to grow up quickly. Oh this book! This is the first book I read by Rebekah Weatherspoon and I am undeniably hooked on her writing. What unfolds is a delightful exploration of the attraction they share for one another, how that attraction enhances and enriches their lives, and how they navigate the challenges of a relationship between two people who come from very different walks of life. Weeks later, a chance encounter on the college campus brings the two women back together and sparks fly immediately. After a private dance, and a shared sultry moment, they part ways, both young women returning to their separate lives.

Alexis isn’t the only one captivated by their first meeting and Trisha also finds herself unable to stop thinking about the baby butch she saw that night in the club. There she mets and is instantly taken with Treasure, a young woman whose actual name is Trisha who is working at the club that night as part of the entertainment. Alexis Chambers accompanies her older sister to a strip club for her sister’s bachelorette party.
