THE CLIMAX by Allison Hobbs
December 13, 2008 by Daniel · Leave a Comment
A seductive tale of lust and revenge, The Climax charts the entangled lives of two women - Terelle and Kali – who have both suffered irrecoverable losses in pursuit of Marquise, who is believed to be dead. Kai is in prison, and Terelle suffred a mental breakdown after losing her fiancé. After two years of catatonia, Terelle is awakened by a sweet and mysterious kiss, and the voice of her lost love.
As Terelle recovers, she clings to the idea that Marquise (who is the father of her child) is still alive and out there, waiting to reunite with her. She goes into grueling rehabilitation in order to find a way back to him, all the while enduring the concern of loved ones, who think she is delusional.
At the same time, Kai is jailed for a murder she didn’t commit, but that doesn’t stop her wanton behavior. Not a day goes by that Kai doesn’t plot a wicked revenge on Terelle. Throughout steamy prison encounters, and despite a lifetime sentence, Kai vows that Terelle will never know a moment of peace, so long as she lives.

November 18, 2008 by Daniel · Leave a Comment
Victoria Carlton invested everything into her dream of becoming a singer – her hopes, her time, her life savings – only to fall victim to the harsh realities of the recording industry. Devastated, broke, and unemployed, Victoria is propelled into action when an eviction notice forces her to choose between committing herself – and her young son – to a world of homeless shelters or entering the seedy world of prostitution. Desperate, she puts her ethics aside and applies for a job at Pandora’s Box, a downtown Philadelphia brothel that bills itself as a “massage salon.” Victoria’s lifestyle quickly improves, and the gratification of instant cash replaces her wiliness to find a low-paying, legitimate occupation.
One day an unlikely customer appears at Pandora’s Box. Young, handsome, and well-dressed, he is immediately drawn to Victoria. The two begin a love affair fraught with complications, leaving Victoria plagued by guilt and insecurities until a botched robbery and the murder of a coworker compel her to look beyond the fast money and reclaim her morals – and her life.
