Review: Diamond Girl – Andrea Smith

Thirty-five year old Samantha Dennison sends her only child off to college and finds herself generally feeling F-R-U-M-P-Y and lost. Her loveless marriage to ‘the mannequin’ has become intolerable; her daughter and best friend have both advised ‘Sammie’ to get a life of her own. Her husband has his own agenda which does not include her.

Sammie finally heeds their advice and takes pole-dancing lessons to get into shape and develop self-esteem, but it serves to do much more than that! The thrill of the dance and sexuality she discovers within herself is a potent mixture. She gets a part-time job as a dancer in an Indianapolis Gentleman’s Club called Jewels. She becomes the dancer known as ‘Diamond’ and very quickly catches the attention of a ‘bad-boy’ biker named ‘Slate.’

Slate is the ultimate ‘alpha’ male; however there’s a problem: he simply wants it to be about exclusive sex; Sammie wants and needs more from Slate. Sammie’s certain she’s embarked on a dangerous relationship with the hot biker and ‘prospect’ member of the notorious Outlaw Motorcycle Club. She soon finds out she’s totally out of her league with Slate and the dangerous people he associates with in Indianapolis. Something big is brewing in Indy; and it’s not about race cars!

‘Diamond Girl’ will keep the reader on the edge of their seat from beginning to end; this book has it all: passion, erotica, romance, danger and possibly more… much more.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

After eighteen years of marriage, Samantha starts to question everything about her life.

Samantha’s world changes when she becomes pregnant at sixteen by Jack, the most popular boy in school, after a drunken encounter at a high school party. Eighteen years later, their daughter Lindsey is in college and Samantha starts to question her life. As Samantha looks in the mirror, she discovers, at thirty five, she looks frumpy. She has let herself go over the years, while staying home and raising their daughter. Jack married her because she was pregnant and he had no choice, but she doesn’t believe he ever loved her. Jack is a selfish, self-absorbed, demanding man and she suspects he is having an affair.

Samantha decides to make some changes in her life and starts exercising. She slowly gains confidence, finds a job and meets Slate, a blue eyed, bad-boy biker. Samantha doesn’t want to get involved with Slate because he is younger than her and she is married, but there is an instant attraction between them.

Slate is a handsome, hot, alpha male and under his gruff exterior he’s a nice guy. He’s immediately attracted to Samantha, but it takes him a while to open up to her. He hides from emotions and is mysterious. Slate had my heart from the first moment Samantha meets him. He is a bossy guy with a soft spot for Samantha, even though it is hard for him to admit it.

DIAMOND GIRL captivated me. Andrea Smith writes a fast paced, edgy book with a lot twists and turns. Samantha and Slate have sizzling chemistry when they were together. Is it possible to find true love with a bad-boy biker?
