Wow! This was a different twist from what I'm used to reading from M.L. Stephens, but I enjoyed it from the very beginning. It's very captivating not to mention that the twists in the plot will keep you reading as you scream in your head (or out loud) at the characters for some of the decisions that they make because you know it just can't be true.Angela is a hard ass, take no shit strip club owner in Dallas. She's worked her way up to her position and has earned it. Of course, her attitude was not something she woke up deciding to have. She earned it by the various pains that she's had to endure in her life.Bare Assets may not be the biggest club in Dallas, but it is one of the classiest and the busiest. Mr. Benson wants that in his portfolio. Besides, he doesn't seem to like that Angela is the only female club owner in the area. Or that she refuses to sell to him. So he does whatever is necessary to gain the club as another source of income (not that he needs it).Dean is a man of mystery. He comes into the club but never flirts with any of the dancers and only ever talks to one waitress. Plus, there are rumors circulating the club about the trail of broken hearts that he leaves behind.When Angela finally opens up to Dean, mayhem ensues. One thing after another falls onto Angela's shoulders until she finally breaks.When everything falls back into place for her, she allows herself to fix other things that were broken when everything shattered around her."I am afraid of you," she breathed against his back."Why?" he demanded."Because you make me...feel." The whispered confession against his back sent him spiraling into an abyss of abandonment.
