Some like it dirty, some like it rough—Slade likes it all the time, anywhere, anyway.Welcome to the Walk of Shame – where gorgeous men are there for your viewing and f@cking pleasure. Slade loves sex, but he likes being numb even more. He strips, drinks, and f@cks to keep his pain at bay. He’s good at it, too. He’s got a reputation for being a giver in the sack, but you better make the most of your opportunity with him because you only get one! There are no repeat lays for Slade.When Aspen walks into his club, Slade is instantly drawn to her. When he finds out she’ll be his temporary roommate, he’s beyond thrilled. He knows she wants him and he can’t wait to show her exactly how much. Aspen may not be able to deny her attraction to Slade, but she’s determined to hide it behind a wall of hate and repulsion. But how long can anyone deny a walking, talking, sex machine.SLADE is a stand-alone novella and part of a series about the male strippers at Walk of Shame. Longer than a traditional novella, SLADE didn’t feel rushed or broken in its attempt to keep things short. I was glad that it didn’t rush Slade and Aspen getting to know each other or their attempts to stay away from each other. I will say a full-length novel would have allowed more time to explore Slade’s past, the emotions behind his choices, and especially Aspen’s glossed over relationship with her ex. I think the story would only have benefitted from the extra depth. I also thought that though Slade liked to talk dirty and was obviously the king of sexy stripping, I didn’t quite feel the sexual tension the way I would have liked. Slade is a bit of a softy once you get to know him and I’m not sure I found the transition from cold sex machine to romantic knight in shining armor completely believable.All in all, SLADE was a fun, easy ride and a deliciously perfect topic for a series! I suggest Walk of Shame be franchised and brought to every major city, starting with mine!**Complimentary copy provided by the author/publisher for an honest review.
