(More customer reviews)DIAMOND PLAYGIRLS follows the lives of four twenty-something single African-American females who move into apartments in the same Harlem brownstone. All four women are smart, beautiful and embarking on new career opportunities in the Big Apple. "Dior Emerson" written by Miasha is about an impressionable marketing executive from Canada . Dior has it all together, but what she still lacks is a good man. Written by Daaimah S. Poole, "Tamara Murphy" is the tale of an event planner from Atlanta who is hired as a promoter for a new nightclub in New York. Her job keeps her too busy to spend time with any man, much less the two pursuing her.
Deja King's offering is "Chloe Johnson". She is a pampered princess from Houston who wants to be recognized on her own merits and not those of her successful, millionaire father. She lands a position as an assistant for a fashion magazine and the heart of one of the top music executives. When put in the position, she has to choose what's more important - her career or her man. Finally there's "Mona Lisa Dupree" written by T. Styles. A casting director with an impressive portfolio, Mona Lisa does not concern herself with matters of the heart. She is content with a steady supply of boy toys to keep her happy. When a blast from her past reaches out to her, it may cause her to rethink her stance on relationships.
DIAMOND PLAYGIRLS is a wonderful book of new beginnings. The book is a compilation from four of the hottest fiction writers. Each character starts a new job, meets new loves and makes new friends. The title and author lineup alluded to an edgier more urban tale, yet I was still satisfied. I like that each of the authors included some recurring characters who are totally hilarious in each of their tales. I can easily see a sequel in the works because the book seems to introduce the characters. Each author wrote with a solid and stimulating pen, therefore I could not pick a favorite.

Four beautiful, professional women, living on separate floors of a Harlem brownstone are about to discover they have a lot more in common than just their address... Dior's name is no accident--she's got a taste for the finer things in life, and New York City is just the place to find them. So far she's got the job and the apartment. Now she needs the man--and she hopes she's found him on the Internet. Dior is prepared to find out on Valentine's Day... Party promoter Tamara has been recruited from Atlanta to open a hot new club. All the women in her family are known for their great looks, great cooking--and the fact that they can't stay married. Tamara is hoping to break that tradition. But is dating three different men the best strategy? With beauty, brains, and a hefty bank account, Chloe is a BAP on a mission: she wants to run a top magazine. But just as she's up for a big promotion her boyfriend gives her an ultimatum. Will Chloe choose to follow her ambition--or her heart? Casting director Mona-Lisa works hard--and plays even harder. She's avoided relationships her whole life. When a tragedy opens her eyes to the possibility of true love, she's compelled to share a special day with a man from her past. But she's overlooked some crucial details... One by one, each woman crosses paths at a local club on Valentine's Day--and the secrets about to be revealed will forever change their lives...
