Format:Paperback
Dr Lance Montgomery has written a book for 'Playas' called the 'Playas handbook', it's got all the men talking and the women outraged. The handbook encourages men to never commit to any woman, and advises them on how to avoid women who want to control and trap them.
Dr Asia Fowler writes books which enlightens and supports women and teaches them to avoid the pitfalls of one sided relationships with men who can't be faithful. She should know, she was involved with a playa who refused to have a monogamous relationship with her,broke her heart and damaged her self esteem. When Lance is strongly attracted to Asia, he finds himself determined to overcome her reluctance to get involved with him, but Asia is not stupid enough to be just another notch in his belt.
I was wary about this book and it's sequel, 'Playas no more' because of the word 'Playas' in the title, but it was a delightfuly funny read. The would be 'Playas' in the book including Lance Montgomery are men who have been hurt by women in the past, through abandonment, adultery, and loss. They go on to try to indulge in loveless relationships to avoid more pain. When they all meet women who challenge their abilities to continue being players, they all fall victim to love, and are willing victims. Except for Lance who terrified at the emotions that Asia is making him feel, pushes her into another man's arms.

Satisfying Romance!!
29 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Dr. Lance Montgomery had messed up big time. As a relationship expert he's lived the playa's life, including giving workshops and writing a bestselling book called The Playa's Handbook. In his efforts to prove that he really didn't need any woman and that Dr. Asia Fowler hadn't really touched his heart, he'd deliberately hurt her. Now Asia is engaged to another man and Lance, having realized his mistake, is waging an all out campaign to win her back. But Asia has already had one bad relationship and she's determined that Lance is not the type of man she needs. Can Lance convince her that he's changed and ready to me more than a playa?
No More Playas is the sequel to Brenda Jackson's The Playa's Handbook, which I have read but I did not enjoy half as much as No More Playas. However, although I enjoyed finally seeing Lance and Asia finding their way back together, it wasn't their story that kept me turning pages. Lance's sister Carrie and her relationship with Conner stole this story from their first meeting. Carrie was abused as a child and is being sent pictures by a blackmailer. She's goes to Conner, a private investigator, for help. From that point forward, Lance and Asia fade into the background. I found myself thoroughly engrossed with Conner finally finding the one woman for him, and with Carrie finding the man she could trust enough to overcome the issues from her past. Brenda Jackson's No More Playas was a thoroughly satisfying romance!

Hot, Hot, Hot!
21 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
I must say that I am lifelong fan of Brenda Jackson, but not of sequels, as most times, they do not measure up to the original story. I must say that Brenda Jackson did not disappoint me at all. This book is HOT, HOT, HOT! I am so glad that Ms. Jackson decided to finish the story of Asia and Lance. Wow! What a story and what an AUTHOR!! This story was wonderfully developed, with really two story lines. Both couples kept me turning pages! This is a MUST READ!

excellent second chance at love
25 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
Psychologist Dr. Lance Montgomery became famous (infamous in some circles) when he wrote the best selling seduction manual THE PLAYAS HANDBOOK. This self help reference book helps males score without commitment. His tome leads him to confrontations with an enemy combatant, psychologist Dr. Asia Fowler. However before he realizes that he is in love, he hurts Asia driving her into the arms of humanitarian relief worker Dr. Sean Crews.
Lance misses Asia and now realizes he is ready to do the unthinkable commit to a long term relationship with the woman he loves. However, Asia is now engaged to the nice caring Sean. Though an impediment, Lance begins his moves with a zeal like none he has everfelt before. He obtains her schedule and appears "by chance" at events she attends. Still he betrayed her once and he is known as the playa's playa so he must find a way to earn her trust because the passion between them could provide a century's worth of energy for a Caribbean island.
There are other subplots involving his two pals ready to marry the women they love and his sister caught in the middle of a blackmail scheme, but the prime story line is the second chance at love between the hall of fame playa and the psychologist he cherishes. Lance is terrific as he employs his honed skills in relationships to make it with the one female who scorns him although he swears he is NO MORE PLAYAS since he wants to be a one woman man. Though this tale can stand alone, contemporary romance fans will enjoy reading both delightful tales.
