J.C. Winters
is finally being given a chance to show her true potential as an
undercover cop. Strippers are being attacked and murdered in her
town and she wants to do anything she can to stop the fiend guilty
of the crimes. She is even willing to go so far as to pose as a
stripper and dance for a strip club. Meeting a boarder at the same
lodge she is staying in throws her off course, especially when she
gives in to her inner desires. Trying her best to stay in
character, J.C. is upset when Pete leaves her in a fit of anger when
he finds out she’s a stripper.
Pete Plummer
is just in town for the week to have some fun in the sun and
possibly get laid. When he spies an extremely attractive blonde,
he goes all out with the charm but her prickly demeanor has him
stumped but knowing that her attitude is just skin deep, Pete
figures it is only a matter of time before she is his. When he
finds out she is a stripper, he is both angry and dismayed and
doesn’t know what to do because there is no way he can bring a
stripper home to his family.
Shocking
Summer caught my eye
with the blurb, “Hot Studs in Construction series.” However, that
is as far as I saw of anything resembling construction. I was not
convinced that a female police officer would find Pete sexually
appealing because I didn’t. However, what I did find appealing
about Pete was his ability to care for another person and his heart
and soul went into loving and caring about J.C., even when she
didn’t want him to. His loyalty to the woman he loved got me
through this book. J. C. often times made me roll my eyes in fury
because of her stubbornness, in fact, if I could have yelled at her,
I would have. Personally, I would have not continued to want to
have anything to do with her but, alas, Pete was more resilient and
so it all worked out in the end.
I have read
Blaise Kilgallen books before and have enjoyed every one. I think
that Shocking Summer is the exception to this. I plan
to read more from this author because I know that she is a talented
writer. Shocking Summer just wasn’t the book for me.
