1: Ghostbustin Pat
After reading this book, like Slimer from Ghostbusters I barfed all over the place. After reading the sex scenes in this book, I felt like The Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man from Ghoustbusters: bloated.

2: Steamy Scenes with the Beautiful People
The book introduces many beautiful, but mean-spirited people stepping on each other to make it to the top. Some drug use, and plenty of sex...fairly graphic sex. Many of the characters aren't very likeable and at times I wondered if there was a plot. Take a peek into the lifestyles of NY models, South Beach's trendy set, and Miami's high society. Somehow it all pulls together at the end and there was a plot afterall.
I could have skipped some of the descriptions of her "triangle of love" and rhapsodies about women's rumps, "her butt alone could make slaves of people."
The main character are a retired fashion model starting her own agency (Christa Kenwood), a top Hispanic super-model, a wealthy socialite fighting her age, her hunk of a tennis instructor, and a Pulitzer prize winning author. Set up three overlapping, interlocking love-triangles and then take the rest of the book to sort it out. To add some extra suspense, the former agency for Christa and the super-model wants revenge for their defection.
Maybe fine for taking along to the beach or a trip to Miami for some local color.

3: a sexy, thrilling novel.
Pat Booth does it again with a sexy, thrilling romp about life in the Sin City of the '90s. With plenty of double-dealing rascals and hard-hearted heroines (who always happen to be beautiful), Booth takes us to places we've always wanted to go, and occasionally, to places we'd never want to. The dialogue is as sharp as a scythe. Characters, although glamorous, waver between the self-absorbed and just plain cruel. Although Booth's novel takes us far from reality, isn't that what we most often want a book to do? The perfect escape.

4: A Must!
For all you Pat Booth fans, Miami is a must. If you loved Palm Beach, then go south to Miami. Pat Booth's ability to articulate in words the sights and sounds, heat and passion of Miami makes this book truly a piece of art. If you can't afford to take that vacation to Florida, then bring Miami to you. You'll be whisked away to a place you'll never want to leave. Enjoy.
