Jonathan Plummer's Book: Balancing Act

***does this book sound familiar for some reason?***

Jonathan Plummer made headlines when "New York Times" bestselling author Terry McMillan -- whose novel "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" is based on their romance -- filed for divorce, claiming that Plummer hid his homosexuality in order to marry her for her money and gain U.S. citizenship. Now, Plummer delivers a sexy and satisfying novel as deliciously racy as the life he lived.

BALANCING ACT

Justin Blakeman is living an ordinary life in Jamaica, when vacationing Tasha Reynolds spots him selling sugar cane on the street. He, of course, has no idea that her modeling agency is fast becoming the hottest in the business. He plans to live the island life set out for him, stepping up to head the family sugar cane enterprise in time.

In the ruthless modeling world, Tasha is a great white shark with an uncanny knack for finding blazing new talent in unusual places. She always gets what she wants and she wants Justin -- whose hazel-green eyes, offset by dark chocolate skin, make her palms sweat, a sign that she is on to something. His perfect body and defiant attitude will make him a mega star.

But soon, a relationship that began as strictly business crosses the line into a complex game of sexual desire and control. Their crazy, volatile bond -- littered with dark influences from their pasts, complicated by ambition, and fueled by insatiable passion -- is as combustible as relationships can get. And when Justin discovers a hidden hunger for a male model, the stakes are higher than ever.

i love E. Lynn Harris...i started reading him in high school, when that whole gay thing was giggled at like it truly was funny! hell, even Eric Jerome Dickey has had lesbians in his books...i swear there is one with a threesome scene that...well, im at work, so i dont want to go there, but ah, got me a tad bit hot under the collar!!

what jonathan needs to do is follow the OJ pattern, and write a book called "i didnt marry her so i could move to the US, but if i had...here's how i would have done it!"

He's got to make money somehow. He didn't get that much in the divorce settlement, but I rather for him to make money doing a semi-work of fiction (first part Stella, rest E. Lynn) rather than doing a tell-all. I look forward to reading it. I need something to help me until E. Lynn comes out with a new one.
