Game Over by Winter Ramos / 248 pages. Read in 36 days via Nook

This book can be considered a “tell-all” like every other girl’s book in the world of love and hip hop but it wasn't  It was a story that kept getting interesting by the sections. The way Winter decided to tell her story was not by blasting those she slept with in the industry but more by telling how she honestly met these hip-hop moguls and became a natural breed of the hip-hop game. At the age of 16, Winter was a former house member of the now infamous “JR Mafia House” a place where you can see upcoming artist just hanging out on a daily basis. This house was located on Atlantic and Saint James in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, NY and it became a very popular for some of the most famous artists like “Biggie, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, Foxy Brown, and Lil Cease”. Winter started off with trips and how she met so many people. Early in the book she revealed her true love for a local guy from around her way name Smiley. Smiley gave her the world and she looked forward to everything he did for her because she never loved anyone else like him. When she lost him, her world and meaning behind love became cold, like her name WINTER. As expressed through many chapters in the book, Winter never set out to date and love every person she met in the entertainment industry. However she did what most women do when the opportunity arises, she slept with them but after loosing Smiley, she was not into finding love during most of these sexcapades. Although she became well known throughout the hip-hop industry and have admitted to sleeping with Swizz Beats, Young Berg, Damon Dash, Rafer Alston, Ja Rule, Slim Thug, Jadakiss, Dorrell Wright, and more…she made it clear that she did not sleep with everyone that crossed her path. She even revealed how there was a time when Jay Z was interested in her but she chose Damon over him and admitted in her book that she always felt like she chose the wrong one and she could have been “The Beyonce” in Jay’s life now.

Besides spilling the juice on her personal relationships, Winter also went into details explaining how rocky her business relationship was with the rapper Fabulous. She revealed things from how he only paid her 300.00 a week, even when his career skyrocketed to the highest it had ever been to how she walked out on him during a video shoot due to some disagreement about him not bringing a change of clothes which ended their business relationship. The book ended with the details of her shaky relationship with Jadakiss and how he was not in support of her doing Love and Hip-Hop.

This book may be pegged as the next “tell-all” of a vixen but the difference is Winter had a real styling career and has been able to maintain that today. You can find her now working with on movie sets as a stylist. Her story will change your mind about her intentions for sure!
