I have had the pleasure of reading Brenna  new book (the first in the series) - Iron Rods and WOW - she is onto something really special here.  The setting to the story takes place in my home town of Austin, Texas and centers around an aging strip club for women, called Iron Rods.  The meat of the story involves a feisty Texas woman, Tatum, and the slick New Yorker, Bennett, that wants to tear the club down.Tatum is a wonderfully complex character, educated and talented, she has trained as a dancer all her life but her dreams of a professional career don't seem to be in the cards.Bennett is a Harvard educated New Yorker who is always trying to prove his worth to a father that has been absent most of his life.Tatum is determined to revive the club and Bennett is hell bent on destroying it.  When these two collide, sparks fly.These two have chemistry and passion.  The book is steamy and sexy as hell.  It also captures the essence of my town and the people who live here in such a colorful way that I can see this fictional strip club in all it's former glory as though I've been there.  It is beautifully written and tells a compelling story of a town that is changing and the people who are changing with it.Iron Rods has me kicking up my cowboy boots in big applause.  I can't wait to see where Brenna takes the series next!
