Dutifully performing her bridesmaid duties, prim and proper Elizabeth Marks is anything but turned on by the strip club dancers at the bachelorette party. Her awkwardness catches the attention of Bare Assets owner Matt Stokes, who believes that the fantasy his dancers create can tempt her if she learns to let loose, so he challenges Elizabeth to attend the club every week for a month. This art therapy teacher is about to find out how much pleasure she can experience if she sheds the idyllic life she envisions for herself, even if only for a couple of nights. Yet when the experiment jeopardizes her father's chance to run for governor, Elizabeth will have to decide whether to be the perfect girl her parents hoped for or to embrace the woman she is with the only man who fulfills her every desire—physically and emotionally.
VERDICT Despite the promotional comparisons to the film Magic Mike, Kent's (Nameless) story offers readers much more in the way of teeth by bringing together two unlikely but completely compatible protagonists. Readers can also bank on more going on between the sheets than on the stage, which makes for a sexy and titillating read.
