Romance Suspense

Dr. Saylor Oz promises she'll find some way to prove Angel Morales is innocent. In the mean time he sits in prison, railroaded into a conviction of murdering three women models. It's impossible. His personality doesn't fit the MO. The person who committed this crime is a psychopath, and Angel doesn't have it in him to be a cold blooded killer. Saylor profession as a sex-therapist (and personal tastes) gives her a theory as to the psychopath's identity after remembering a scene from a 70's porn film, Bad, Bad, Babydoll. Her prime suspect if it isn't a copy cat killer, it is the mediocre porn star wannabe Nikki Cumrite. However when she tells her best friend, roommate, and Angel's big sister, Benita only shrugs off her idea. Until she finds her suspect, Saylor isn't giving up, because the appellant court won't take his case seriously if they don't have awfully convincing fresh evidence. She brings the tape to the PI, Johnny Lavender. Even after the line "I'll kill all three," he refuses to take her seriously, and tells her to stay out of it. Leave it to the professionals. Don't tell Saylor to leave it to the cops, especially not when they think they have their killer behind bars. Is there more reason than that they believe they have the real killer? Benita's personal trainer for boxing invites them to a fashion party, the perfect opportunity to research the victims. Sidney Chen magic is lost and feels unable to produce up to his title: New York's hottest young clothes designer. But then he sees the pint size Saylor. He chooses her to be his It Girl because suddenly the petite spark with real curves is just what his show needs. Taking her queue from the film, she takes the stage name Babydoll. She's getting closer to finding her proof. That is if Eldridge Mace, an ex-pro middleweight fighter, doesn't kill her with attention first. After hanging out with a new beautiful woman every week, he comes back into her sight, and thoughts, and body. It is a battle of egos between the private investigator/ex-cop to retired fighter. Saylor's not their only beef. They have history. BABYDOLL by Allyson Roy is a laughter-fest. If there's anyway the subject of sex can be brought into the discussion her character Saylor Oz finds a way. Either you join in her madness or get out of her way because there's no stopping Saylor when it comes to protecting her family and friends.

SUMMARY

A new novel featuring a downtown-Brooklyn sex therapist whose caseload includes the occasional murder.

In the last three months, three models have been found dead around New York City, each with a lock of hair missing. It would be just another tabloid headline to Saylor Oz—-except that her best friend Benita’s brother stands accused. Saylor is convinced someone is reenacting the events of an old movie called Bad, Bad Babydoll. But no one else thinks so—not even the sexy P.I. on the case. Undeterred, Saylor and Benita must infiltrate the modeling world—and put themselves at risk of becoming the killer’s next victim.
