Customer Reviews

Superb writing!!!!

Although this book is somewhat dated, there are somethings that never grow old. Sharon and Tom Curtis are superb and talented writers and their abilities with the written word are truly timeless. I read Fallen From Grace by Laura Leone which has a similar plot. Male stripper forced to use body for financial purposes. I liked that book, but not nearly as much as this one. Fallen From Grace is very dark in it's plot line while this book is refreshingly witty, sweet, and light in the midst of a serious story. I liked the 2 main characters. Jenny was you stereotypical librarian, but she was also passionate and fun. Philip was you stereotypical stripper, but he was also sincere, serious, and brilliant. I enjoyed the dialogue in this book immensely. I found myself chuckling several times and moved a great many times as well. While this title doesn't touch the Windflower in intensity, depth, or complexity....the same quality of writing exists. I recommend these authors and this book highly.

Still One of the Best

This was one of the first romance novels I ever read, and these many years later (and after many, many re-reads), it is still one of the funniest and sweetest of all the romances! Tom and Sharon had a winning team and I can honestly recommend all of their books--buy them if you can--but this was my "first love" and still has the power to enchant and entrance!

Best Single Category Romance Ever Written (A+ Grade)

The Loveswept Line was a treat for romance lovers. Many well know authors have come out of this line and it is a shame that it is no longer around. Lighnting That Lingers could possibly be the best book to ever come out as a single category romance. This books is very sweet and telling of human nature and what we see is not necessarily what we get. Jennifer is a very shy librarian who has just started out on her own. One night her co-workers go out for a night on the town. They go to a strip club where they salivate over stripper Philip. Jenny is just plain embarrassed by the whole situation, which Philip senses, but tries to help her enjoy herself by offering her a little kiss. Philip is not only a stipper. He is from a very old school family upbringing, has a love for animals and is very very lonely. He needs money and the only way he knows how is to strip for it. He sees Jenny again in town and knows there is something special about her. Perhaps she can help erase his loneliness? The Curtis duo have written Jenny and Philip in a beautiful way. Philip is described as drop dead gorgeous whereas Jenny is a little plain but also cute. Philip handles her like one of his baby owls. Jenny in turn allows herself to accept what Philipis offering. These are just two people trying to find their place in life. Hopefully Jenny can get past Philip's job so they can build a life together. Philip is a true gentleman in every sense and Jenny maybe a little nieve but when she is with Philip, she shines. For adults and teens alike, this book will "Linger" long after you have finished.

The Stripper and the Librarian

Once in a great while, a book comes along in the stream of tired, overworked romance series that blows away all hint of catagory: This is such a book. A strait-laced librarian, who supercedes the stereotype, falls in love with a male stripper who is both more and less than he seems. There is nothing superficial about this book. The story is told with a tenderness and honesty that made this jaded reader squirm uncomfortably, laugh, and cry. If you can find a copy of this book, get it.

The most amazing Category Romance ever written!!!!

Simply put...the most sensitive, amazing, funny, heartfelt and sexy romance I have ever read. I hear this one is on a lot of people's top 10 lists.
