Rashida Reviews: "Dirty Red" by Vickie Stringer

Truly a classic right here! I remember when a friend of mine first asked me if I had heard of Triple Crown Publications. When I told her I hadn't, she went on to tell me about the story of a scandalous chick in a book called "Dirty Red". From that day I told myself that I had to read it.
Well, I gotta admit that I love books, but I don't buy them often. I get most of my books from the library and it took FOREVER for me to find "Dirty Red" but I finally did. It was definitely worth the wait. I read the book in one day! This was truly one of the best books I've read. The plot and all of the twists involved in the story kept me on the edge of my seat. Here's a brief summary:

From the "queen of urban fiction" ("Publishers Weekly"), Vickie Stringer, comes a scorching tale of love, lies, loss, and the indomitable spirit of a woman scorned.
Mischievous and manipulative, eighteen-year-old Red is an expert at deception with a provocative femininity. She employs her dirty ways -- even faking a pregnancy with her boyfriend -- to win a closet full of Gucci bags, a deluxe condominium full of baby accessories, a new car, and a book deal. But when one of Red's scams backfires and she winds up truly pregnant by her inmate ex-boyfriend, Bacon, she finds herself in more trouble than she's ever known. The drama truly unravels when Red's picture-perfect cons fall apart due to the power of -- surprisingly -- love.
As always I have the link for you guys to get your own copy of the book, or you can preview the book HERE.
