Publisher Description
Harlem-bred literary giant Treasure Blue serves up Fly Betty, the third installment in the acclaimed Harlem Girl Lost series.
In the multibillion-dollar entertainment industry, there is a secret society of women that few are privy to. These women all vie for one thing: the opportunity to live a lavish lifestyle by snagging a famous young millionaire.
Betty Blaise, or Fly Betty to those who truly know her, was not in it to be a wife or even the baby momma of a wealthy public figure—she had her sights set much higher. While most of these women use sex as their weapon of choice, Betty, a senior majoring in psychology, has developed a weapon much more powerful.
Up to now Betty has lived her life according to her own strict rules and standards, refusing to compromise for anyone, even if it means shielding herself from true love. But when she encounters a man she would never have anticipated falling for, these rules are put to the test. And when the tools she used so effectively against wealthy men begin to turn against her, deadly consequences are sure to follow.

"as with his other books this one held no disappointments whatsoever. rules for many women to follow and an ending to let men know don't play yourself. Overall excellent story. But I must warn you don't start if you have other obligations, the one is hard to put down once you start."
— Calita (5 out of 5 stars)

" Not the typical Urban Fiction story. This is my first book by Treasure but will not be my last. There are two stories before this one, however, I was able to follow along with out reading them. Highly recommended. I read this book in about four hours. "

" the story is riveting, this writer has a stellar mind...but I see now why all writers should really really REALLY allow reediting of their work. Repetitions, explanations and poor writing just got in the way of a fantastic story. "
— Stephane, 5/18/2013 -
" Another gritty page turner by Treasure Blue!!!! Loved Fly Betty's story and was blown away by the ending as well. I enjoyed how Betty's rules were written out and how it also told her mom's life, which was so horrific and sad. Cannot wait for more books by Treasure!!! "
— Glenda, 4/22/2013 -
" This book starts off slow and remains that way until the middle of the book,where it picks up and ends with a twist...3.5 star review "
— K, 3/11/2013 -
" Connected very heavily with the character... very well-written...love it! "
— Deszion, 3/5/2013 -
" As much as I wanted too, I did NOT like this book. Yes, it kept me entertained but the plot and the characters were too unrealistic for me. "
