Everything they never wanted...is everything they’ll ever need. Faye Holmes’s life is the polar opposite from her racy, best-selling romances. It’s quiet, routine, and, at the moment, plagued with writer’s block. If only just a little of the passion burning up the pages of her books would warm her lonely bed. But to be honest, one-night stands aren’t her thing. When her best friend buys her a lap dance to celebrate her latest best seller, Faye is more than shocked. She’s intrigued by the stunningly beautiful dancer whose gentle eyes seem vaguely familiar.

Charming, sometimes overly flowery, loved the music.
I enjoyed the story and the music . I found it was a bit slow in some areas with the descriptions but overall a charming vibe. The time transitions mid chapters were sometimes jarring, would probably translate better with a small musical transition. I found myself having to skip back a couple of times when these happened, thinking I’d missed something. I enjoyed it for the most part. Wonderful rainy day listening.
