Publisher's summary

If the Feds want to nail a Mafia kingpin, they need a trap. Enter Mark Sullivan, totally built for the job-to go undercover as a male stripper in the mobster's Vegas club. The club's owner, Nicki, is an unexpected perk. But Mark and Nicki have more in common than sizzling sexual chemistry. They each have their share of secrets, and with the mob closing in, what gets exposed is as irresistible as it is dangerous.

Critic reviews

"Kept me spellbound." ( Romance Junkies)

"hero" is an asshole

I was sick of the mark character. All he does is accuse and treat her bad. accuse/assume the heroine is like his ex wife. He doesnt deserve her and she shouldn't take him back. I almost didnt finish it. She forgave him to easily. Maybe. My mom likes to tell me when argue, " do you want to be happy or right"

CLUES, SUSPICIONS & A SIZZLING ROMANCE

As mouthwatering and drool-worthy Mark goes undercover as a Stripper in Nicki's Club he isn't prepared for the sizzling off the charts sexual chemistry that hits him as soon as he's asked to audition in front of Nicki (and what a hot mental picture that was!). Naive and trusting Nicki is blown away by handsome Mark and her dormant libido goes into overdrive. But he's there to do a job, to find out just who is pulling the strings in a Mafia money laundering operation..... and everything points to the woman he can't keep his hands off. There's also another undercover Agent but nobody knows who he, or she, is or if they're alive or dead because there's already been a murder.

It's a sexy, suspense romance which is fast paced and has lots of action with descriptive scenes and interesting characters which had me guessing right up until the end as to just who the good and bad guys were. There's plenty of passion, humor and angst too as Mark's past mentally tortures and haunts him making him a confused jerk towards Nicki and very nearly cost him a happy future.

Worth a credit? Sex, suspense and secrets.... it was an enjoyable listen and so it has to be a YES.

Passion and crime drama

Book 2 of a series. Can be read as a standalone but recommend reading in order so you know the background in depth.

Crime drama storyline with steamy meet-cute and passionate MF romance.

Very passionate scenes. References to Alpha male and dominant tendencies, although the sexy times are mostly vanilla.

The narration is good.

Needs a male narrator

The female narrator does a fine job with Nicki’s narration, but not so good with Mark’s POV.
