One
embarrassing moment in time will haunt Miranda Dale for a very long
time. After putting herself through
college by
stripping, Miranda has just accepted her dream accounting job in
Chicago. Although she isn’t embarrassed by what she
did to get her degree, she would prefer to keep it a secret. The night before she leaves for Chicago, Miranda
goes out
for drinks with her girlfriends. She
spots the sexiest man she’s ever seen and after a few drinks and some
sexy
music, she can’t resist putting on a little show for him.
At the conclusion of her performance, she
drapes her bra around the man’s neck as a souvenir to remind him of
what he’s
missing. The next morning she can’t
believe what she did and neither can her friends. They’ve
never seen her like this and think
she needs to expand her social life. She
decides not to worry too much about it; after all, she’s leaving
tomorrow and
will never see the man again.
Jack Steele
can’t believe what happened in that bar last night.
In Albany
on a business trip, he never expected to be treated to a strip show in
a local
bar, but the woman was so sexy and bold and he has her bra to prove it. Jack can’t seem to get her out of his head,
and
since he will never see her again, what will a little fantasizing hurt. When he gets back to Chicago, Jack has to
deal with trumped up sexual harassment charges filed against him by a
former
disgruntled employee, plus train his new Junior Accountant. On his first day back, Jack comes face
to
face with his new employee and low and behold, it’s the sexy stripper
from the
bar in Albany. He can’t believe his luck or lack of it. The woman who haunts his dreams is right in
front of him, but because of the sexual harassment charges he can’t
touch her.
I really
liked this story and I loved Jack and Miranda.
Neither of them can forget that night in
Albany.
They dream and fantasize about each other constantly. Jack knows he can’t pursue Miranda and hides
his powerful attraction to her by avoiding her. Amanda thinks Jack is
avoiding
her because he doesn’t like her and she’s embarrassed over what
happened that
night in Albany. They fight the attraction until it’s
impossible to deny it. Once they give in
to the attraction, look out!! It gets
mighty hot in Chicago.
Miscommunication,
misunderstandings, sexual tension that’s through the roof and fantastic
characters makes LASTING IMPRESSION a great read. Charlotte
Vye does a superb job on this book. She
takes on the sexual harassment issue and
writes it into the story with amazing believability and her facts were
on
target. LASTING IMPRESSION left a
lasting impression on me, and it will you too, so don’t miss it.
