When you open a book about a romance writer and a stripper, you expect heat and this book delivers the steam. The pacing and angst were so good in the first half. The themes were hammered home, but did I mind? No. Why? Because I was PINING. The second half dragged a bit and the plot jumped around. I did really enjoy the best friend angle in this one- I won’t say why because it’ll give it away but it was refreshingly different and I liked that the author played with gender stereotypes. Overall, I’d say this is an easy breezy steamy read that gives dancers their due and underscores the importance of trust and communication in a healthy relationship.

Short summary: Both burned by past relationships, Faye and Talia aren’t looking for anything serious. Until they notice each other. And then they can’t unsee. Or stop thinking about what life could be like with the other in it.
