Trace McGraw
will do anything to get his career back on track. Though he never
imagined being a stripper on a Casino ship as the way to get his job
as a reporter back, he is doing just that. This latest story will
prove to his bosses that they need him and he will get his old job
back. Finding the information to take down one of the biggest crime
bosses around will be the cream of the crop in stories and Trace
will bare all and do anything to get his story. The only thing
Trace never expected was to find that the only woman he ever loved,
would end up on the ship as well.
Phoebe Deveraux
has always had to get her sister, Tiffany out of one scrape or
another, but this time, is the most important of all. A ballet
instructor, once a dancer herself, Phoebe leads a boring life. Her
sister Tiffany, a showgirl and all around good-time gal, leads the
life that Phoebe secretly wishes that she could. But when Tiffany
tells Phoebe that she is pregnant and that she and her boyfriend
need her help to get information about a Miami crime boss for the
police, Phoebe wonders where her life is headed. Willing to do
anything to keep her sister safe, Phoebe heads to Miami to become a
showgirl, gain the trust of her boss and learn all she can to put
him behind bars. Phoebe never expects to see her old college
boyfriend, Trace McGraw in Miami and is even more shocked to
discover that he is a stripper. Knowing that Trace is the ultimate
ladies man and how he hurt her in the past, Phoebe wants nothing to
do with him, but the attraction to him is stronger than ever and
she’s not sure she can resist.
Phoebe and Trace
are after the same crime boss and each have their own agenda’s. But
can Trace and Phoebe work together to obtain the information and to
save those that they care about? Will is their attraction be a
‘heat of the moment’ thing? Will the passion and love that Trace and
Phoebe share still be there, even after the last dance?
Fun has never
been sexier! Debut author, Cami Dalton, dances her way into readers
hearts with her first book, Her Private Dancer. The engaging and
extremely charming characters, Phoebe and Trace, as well as
secondary characters, shine throughout this story. Trace is
ultra-sexy and absolutely lovable. From Phoebe’s showgirl dancing
to Trace’s shaking his bootie and the enjoyment that Phoebe and
Trace find within each other’s arms…it is all fantastic. I really
connected with the characters and the steamy passion that is
instantaneous between Phoebe and Trace if strongly felt.
Ms. Dalton
balances humour, passion, and even a bit of danger very well in her
first book, Her Private Dancer. The ‘mafia’ connections in this
tale are the reason that Phoebe and Trace are thrown together after
so many years apart and they have to work together despite their
attraction and misunderstandings from the past to save those they
care about. For any reader that enjoys an exciting storyline,
endearing and charming characters, laugh out loud scenarios and pure
romance from the heart, Her Private Dancer is the book to add to
their library. It will dance its way right into your heart.
I look forward
to reading more from debut author Cami Dalton; she is an author to
watch for!!
