Heroine is an ex-cop who's asked by a friend & ex-lover to keep a witness to a murder safe. The witness is a male stripper with an agenda. A little uneven in spots, & it took me a while to warm up to them, but a nice story nonetheless.
Overall Rating: 4.25 // Action: 1 / Emotion: 5 / Romance: 5 / Sensuous: 4 / Suspense: 2 // Laughter: 5 / Tears: 9
::Michelle Jerott:: A strong, vivid story-teller who knows how to reach deep into the heart of a romance reader by generating feelings of empathy for both the hero and the heroine. There is something about the way she writes that works for me.
::Absolute Trouble:: Michelle Jerott's debut novel. First book in 'The Pre-Avalon Series' (a four-book series).
::Hero:: Julien Langlois. Male stripper. Self-confident. Eye-candy. Full of Cajun charm. Strong alpha male presence. Musician. Estranged from large catholic family. Bent on revenge.
::Heroine:: Dulcinea "Dulcie" Quinn. Strong-willed. Headstrong. Determined. No longer a cop after show more back broken in bust. Currently living on houseboat and preparing for next doll show.
::Story Line:: Dulcie is asked by her former partner to protect and hide Julien from drug dealer who wants to kill him. Julien and Dulcie spend a week together as they travel down Lake Pontchartrain on her houseboat.
::Action:: Only one action scene in book.
::Emotion:: Strongest positive quality to book. Tears and laughter are drawn forth as Julien and Dulcie must face and come to terms with their flawed pasts before they can go forward.
::Romance:: Julien and Dulcie are immediately attracted to each other. Snappy come-backs are thrown out as they engage in humorous and revealing dialogue. Julien and Dulcie spend very little time fighting the physical attraction which eventually leads to the emotional connection and a happily-ever-after.
::Sensuous:: Lots of hot, steamy lovemaking scenes and interactions.
::Suspense:: The only suspenseful aspect to the story was whether or not Dulcie could convince Julien to give up his quest to go after the man responsible for killing his sixteen-year-old brother.
::Secondary Characters:: Well-written, minimally developed supporting characters added great enjoyment as watched the relationship building between Julien and Dulcie.
