Blurb

He needs to get her out of his system. Just once…

Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He’s always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte’s messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfortunately for him, the town’s prettiest charity case doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words nope, no, and never.

Charlotte Mitchell doesn’t much like Hank Weller. Once upon a time, she used to. Years ago, she liked him a whole heckofalot despite other folks in town labeling him as “eccentric” and “nonconformist,” which were polite southern alternatives to “filthy rich” and “self-centered douchebag.” Her opinion of him changed dramatically after he volunteered to be her date to junior prom and then promptly stood her up. They haven’t so much as acknowledged each other in over a decade. But a sudden family emergency means Charlotte needs access to Hank’s club ASAP. Unfortunately for her, the narcissistic fancy-pants doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words help, generosity, and compassion.

But he’s about to find himself schooled. Charlotte is going to teach Hank a lesson once and for all about basic human decency, whether he likes it or not.

Spoiler alert. . . he likes it. 😉

Review

4.5 “you blindsided me” stars!

When Charlotte comes to Hank for a job at the gentleman’s club he owns he immediately says no because he doesn’t think she should be a stripper but also because they don’t really get along. Things change when he learns she’s going to get a job at another local strip club. He has no idea why Charlotte needs the job but if she is determined to work at a strip club he figures could have her do something around his club other than stripping.

Charlotte has a plan and need inside intel that only the strippers can provide. As she works on her investigation, sparks fly between Hank and Charlotte. She doesn’t have time to date and he thinks she can do better than him so they try hard to keep their hands to themselves. However, that doesn’t last long when they really get to know each other the more time they spend together.

We didn’t click together like hard edges of a puzzle, but with fingers linking, giving and taking, reforming, accommodating, our bodies moved in perfect unison.

On the outside, it doesn’t seem like Hank and Charlotte should click but they do and they are so good together. I love that Charlotte wants him for all he is and doesn’t worry about what people think. She just can’t give him everything as she splits her love between her children and works hard to provide for them. He on the other hand wants to deserve her and doesn’t want the town to talk about her dating a strip club owner so it makes their relationship challenging.

I love Hank and Charlotte. They bring the right amount of serious and fun to the pages and really make you root for them. I adored how Hank was with Charlotte and her kids (especially Joshua and Sonya). Those scenes absolutely melted my heart. They gave him a whole new way to look at kids and I saw him in a different light. From that moment I was a goner.

Hank had an idea of how his life should be and he couldn’t have anticipated the change Charlotte would bring. I loved them figuring out their relationship and putting everything on the line for each other. They bring so much heart and heat to the story and the epilogue was icing on the cake.

Overall, I loved it! This series is fantastic and I can’t wait for more!!
