I just finished reading Iron Rods, book 1 of her Strip Club series by author Brenna Zinn and I loved it! Right from the beginning, the  author had me chuckling with the introduction of Bennett and his father Lyle Truitt and then Tatum Reynolds. She created fun loving yet flawed characters that you can care about. Bennett and his father have a strained relationship ever since his parents divorced when he was a young boy. He's always felt neglected by Lyle who spent all his time running Iron Rods and now, he sees his chance of finally being rid of the run-down strip club. That is until Bennett meets Tatum and offers her a manager position at Iron Rods and things are never the same again.Poor Tatum has had her share of misfortune too as she's been rejected time and time again trying to make it as a professional dancer and now finds herself completely broke. She and her friend Heather go to Iron Rods to commiserate and I ended having the best time witnessing their reaction to the strippers; it was priceless. The author injected humor into this story right from the beginning and had me wanting more.These two seemed to be a mis-match as Bennett is a New York City slicker with money while Tatum, a Texan through and through can barely make ends meet. However, nothing ever goes as planned as Bennett finds out when he cannot stop thinking about Tatum. She is intelligent, sassy and determined to bring the strip club back to it's glory days which is not what Bennett wants. I really liked them as individuals as well as a couple. The author did a great job writing their sex scenes and they were smoking hot. You couldn't help but feel their pain at what they've endured and root for them to overcome the obstacles to be together.This is a great start to what is surely going to be a wonderful series. It has lovable characters, heart, humor and hot sex. The author has done a terrific job depicting Austin, Texas and the historic landmarks that I could envision what it's like. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.
