About this ebook

Sometimes love is closer than you think, and for Brando Haywood he finds love in his best friend—but Brando's life takes a turn when he gets involved in a murder trial...

Brando Haywood is a handsome, popular, and successful entertainment lawyer who seems to have everything but passion. Two years celibate and a prisoner of his routine, he goes through life quietly on the sidelines while his promiscuous best friend, Omar Stevens, thrashes through life and love with all the ups and downs Brando barely realizes he longs for.

Brando's life takes a dramatic turn when he is asked to defend a female friend who has killed her rapist. The sensational and controversial trial that follows not only ignites Brando's fervor for his career but also helps him discover his passion and a true love that had been staring him in the face all along.

Looker firmly establishes Stanley Bennett Clay's reputation as a writer who spins brilliant erotic entertainment even as he challenges his readers' sensibilities.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book, the story telling excellent. Even though this is a non-fiction book, I think we all can relate. We all know someone , at lest one person in our lives that resemble some of his characters in the story. If I had to say one bad thing about the book, [the publisher should have had a better proof reader to correct a couple of typos and a couple of grammatical gender errors] which was just a little confussing while reading. I will be recommending the book to my friends.
