Book Overview
Isabel Preston spent her teenage years with a mother who struggled to pay the bills in their suburban home as she covered up the whereabouts of Isabel's absent father. Fueled with anger, frustration, resentment and pain in her heart, Isabel loves nothing more than to be defiant towards her mother by refusing to attend college with a full scholarship. Instead, she spends most of her time running the streets with a crime lord named Bruce Tripson. After a bitter breakup, Isabel is left with nothing but the sweet cravings for the glamorous life. Money, clothes, shoes, cars, jewelry and luxurious apartments are what she most desires. To regain her preferred way of living, Isabel becomes a gold digger who commands five thousand dollars for a day rate and ten thousand dollars for a night rate. CEOs, tycoons, NBA players, and NFL players are among the few who can afford her. After seven years of being someone else's toy, Isabel is wondering whether she should settle for the simple life with just one man and seek out true love.

I read it twice!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Meisha Camm's latest book is NOT boring. I read it when it first came out in February. Recently, on a trip with my girlfriends, I read it all over again. I let one of my girlfriends read one of the sex scenes and she wouldn't put the book down. It also gives encouragement to women who are in abusive situations. You can get out! The twist at the end, I never saw coming. Meisha Camm is a talented author. All of her books are laced with laughter, tears and joy with many twists and turns. I have confidence she will be around for years to come. Out of her other books, Mistress and Hidden Intentions, this one is my favorite.

I'm a serious fan of Ms. Camm's writing. Her ability to tell a story in a way that gives the reader no choice but to feel as though they were actively participating is unique and refreshing. The sex scenes were beyond steamy and the dialogue was colorful and fun. I believe that Meisha Camm has a long and very promising literary career ahead of her and look forward to reading her next book.
Full of drama!

I thought that this book was an excellent read. I loved Meisha Camm's other book, Mistress, so I figured I would give this one a chance too. I didn't think it was possible for her to top the "drama factor" that was in her previous novel, but she did it again. "You Got to Pay to Play" was full of drama and my emotions were constantly being taken from one level to the next. Camm was so descriptive with her sex scenes that it just added to the intensity of the book. I would tell anyone to get this book and I can't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy it. Can't wait till her next one!
I AM A FAN!!!

"You Got To Pay To Play" is another steamy read by Ms. Meisha J. Camm. The dark plot is an everyday reality women endure and envelopes the reader completely. Izzy is a powerful character that becomes entangled in a cycle of abuse from childhood, but she perserveres none the less! The sex scenes are blushingly explicit; your imagination runs wild! I love it when an author can get you to smell, taste, and, ahem, feel, what the characters are motioning through! I thought "Mistress" was my favorite, but, "You Got To Pay To Play" has stolen 1st place! Great, fast reading that sucks you in immediately! I can't wait until #4 book, Ms. Camm!
Excellent book- I give it a 10!!!!!!!!!!!!(Go get it!)

Meisha Camm's latest book, You Got To Pay to Play was excellent. I read it in one day. It's like a roller coaster ride full of laughter, excitement, joy, sadness and pain. Izzy was my favorite character. She goes through not having a father around to an abusive boyfriend and deals with being raped. I definitely could relate to some of the characters in the book. This book is quite empowering for women. Izzy eventually held her own, overcame her obstacles and didn't need a man to take care of her. Instead, she had her own business. The person who first reviewed this book and who goes by"Loves To Read" is a hater plain and simple. That person has nothing better else to do.Haters are simply bottom feeders wishing they could write a book and get it published. Most of all, this book taught a lesson of consequences. ULTIMATELY, THE SEX SCENES IN THIS BOOK ARE TOP NOTCH!!! My favorite book by Meisha Camm is Hidden Intentions. I definitely look forward to her future work.
