This was a cute romance. I enjoyed how Lyssa discovered her sexuality after the emotional abuse she suffered from her marriage. I thought Robert was the perfect partner for her.

This was one hot read. It was also a refreshing read as the heroine was a divorced mother of a daughter about to head off to college. After being married to a man that verbally abused her most of the marriage and killing her self esteem, her best friend talks her into going to a "costume party". Once inside Lyssa Markham realizes this is no ordinary party. It turns out its a sex club party. Left alone and in total shock and fascination of what is going on around her she is approached by many show more men. As this turns her on she continually says no until she sees a sexy gladiator. She cant help herself and starts to dance for him striping all of her veils along the way until she is naked and and need to come. The gladiator then in turns gives her the best orgasm she has ever had in her life. As she comes down she realizes they had just put on a show for everyone at the party and runs out in embarrassment.

Days later she finds out her ex does not have his portion of the schools tuition for there daughter and he is unreachable as he is on his honeymoon. So Lyssa storms off to his lawyers office to get it straighten out. When the main lawyer who handles the account is in court she is taken to the office of one of the partners. As he turns around she gets the shock of her life when it turns out to be her gladiator who's name is Robert Savidge. His first words to her are “Lift up your skirt…"

This book wasnt just about sex. It had a good plot, main and secondary characters. My only complaint with books of this length is the ending. They are always a little rushed. Regardless of that I loved the book. Cant wait to read the next one. show less

Whoa...hot book alert!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book about a recently divorced woman coming into her own sexuality.

Lyssa was married to a lying, cheating, self-esteem stealing snake. For the last 10 years he's told her she's fat, ugly, and frigid. Her bust buddy finally talks her into visiting her 'special club'. It's a sex club where consenting, fully vetted adults and couples can fulfill their fantasies. Lyssa attends dressed as a harem dancer and it doesn't take long for her to realize show more that she's NOT fat, ugly, and definately not frigid.

I always enjoy reading erotica with a story. It only took a couple of pages and I was rooting for Lyssa.

WARNING: If smoking hot sex, erotic dancing, semi-public nudity, and light BDSM offend you...don't read this book!! show less
