Madam X by Niobia Bryant
4.0

When a superstar basketball player writes a tell all and mentions that he was regularly serviced by prostitutes provided to him by Madam X, it becomes a best seller. The world is determined to find out who Madam X is.

Desdemona Dean couldn’t wait to leave the world of prostitution behind. She’s now settled down with the only man she has ever loved, and has set up a business. She’s also going to college and working on a degree. Once the memoir is released her life gets thrown into a tailspin and her secret life as Madam X is threatened to be exposed. Will she be able to stay under the radar? Or will she be exposed for a woman she used to be?

This was such a fun read. I had never read a book about a madam before, so it was a fun treat. The book is written very raw and does have some sensitive language – be prepared. The book also deals with sensitive subjects. It’s written in a very down to earth and real way that I really connected with and enjoyed. The story was rather interesting and I was engaged the entire time. I didn’t want this one to end, but it did come to a natural conclusion.

If you’re looking for an interesting book about a women just trying to live her life after being a madam, then check this one out April 25th. I hope you check it out.

Thank you so much to Kensington Books, Dafina, @kensingtonbooks, and Netgalley, @netgalley, for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
