To be honest, I bought Set Loose by accident, too one-click happy while browsing, but I liked the opening so much that I did not return it for a refund. Besides, for the price of 99 cents, I thought it was worth a try to see what a new-to-me author was like, and I ended up really liking what I read. I liked that the hero is a Native American hunk falling for this petite, blonde dancer stranded temporarily in Las Vegas and in need of some extra cash as she makes her way back home to Boston. The heroine, Emily, was once a top ballet dancer, but an injury has ended her career and left her pretty in debt. Creditors are even hounding her. While waiting on an unexpected car repair, she gets the idea to earn some fast money doing stripping/exotic dancing in Sin City. "It's like Flashdance, only in reverse."The hero, Cutter, is a bouncer at the gentlemen's club, and he likes Emily right away, but he has a rule not to date the dancers. And you so know how that turns out! I really enjoyed how they interacted together, his being teased and turned on by her dancing, and her being turned on by that sweet, protective hero who insinuates himself into her heart. Good sexual tension there. I have to say that this hero was really a sweet one, definitely one for the Sweet Hero shelf. He's so kind and protective of her, just really sweet how he treats her. He's the hero who says 'I love you' first, if that tells you something, a nice romantic feeling to him that I loved. Plus, the sex was good and steamy with some good erotic detail for the most part, like urgent sex in the club's supply closet; that scene was nice and hot. Although I have read hotter or grittier, I do think the sex here was good and went with the overall feeling of this sweet hero. I enjoyed the action.A good, very enjoyable read for me personally. It was easy and quick (about 1660 kindle locations) with a satisfying amount of heat to it, plus a very sweet and sexy hero to fall for. I sometimes like a good 'stripper' romance, and this one had a bit of many things I like-- the down-on-her-luck heroine, the blue-collar and sweet hero (who's a bit down on his luck, too), and a touch of IR. I was happy and pleased with this by-mistake purchase. Would definitely read this author again.
