Five Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!

Mark Sullivan has been recruited by his brother-in-law, as a favor to the FBI, to infiltrate a Vegas nightclub. It seems that one of the agents already in place hasn't been heard from in three months and the feds want to send in a civilian to see what is happening. There is just one catch...the nightclub in question is actually a male strip club run by a supposed Mafia boss' niece. Mark's assignment? He is to get close to the niece and then get into her computer; two things Mark knows he is qualified to handle. He is a bit unsure about the male dancer role he will have to assume but agrees anyway. Mark decides that getting close to the niece will not be a hardship since looking at her photograph instantly garnered his attention. Nicki DiStefano needs a new dancer and she needs him now! The men she has been auditioning just aren't what she is looking for. Figuring the next dancer trying out will be another loser, she settles in for a boring afternoon. Watching Mark walk through the curtain and onto the stage, Nicki can't believe her eyes! Before her is a living, breathing Adonis and her curiosity gets the best of her. Mark Gabriel doesn't have a resume, but what he does have is a wonderful set of pectorals and the best looking dimples she has ever seen. During their interview, Nicki questions Mark on his ability to flirt with the female customers and Mark tries out his skills on Nicki. She almost falls under his spell and finally agrees to see Mark dance. And dance he does! Hot and bothered after the audition ends and desperately trying not to show it, Nicki calmly tells Mark she will be in touch. Feeling extremely smug, Mark knows he has her. All he has to do now is get Nicki to trust him, and his job is done. Mark doesn't count on the feelings Nicki stirs inside him, nor does he count on her stubbornness to fight what she feels for him. To add fuel to the fire, there is the small matter of trying to find who is doctoring Nicki's books and transferring huge amounts of money to bogus accounts. While Mark doesn't want Nicki to be guilty of such devious crimes, he doesn't put anything past her or her family. Confusion reigns, however, when things begin to happen to endanger Nicki almost immediately after Mark arrives. STRIP SEARCH kept me spellbound and on the edge of my seat from the time I started reading it until I read the very last word. As far as heroes go, Mark Sullivan has to be one of my favorites. He was burned by his ex-wife and still leery of females, but his attraction to Nicki couldn't be denied. Nicki, on the other hand, is one stubborn but loyal heroine. I can't blame her for either since she knows that the employees and her club depend on her. This aside, the chemistry between Mark and Nicki is undeniable and makes for an extremely torrid affair that will leave readers sweating! Add in the elements of intrigue, suspense, and downright surprise, and I was hooked. STRIP SEARCH, as far as novels go, really delivers. I couldn't

Vegas Hot!!!

Nicki DiStefano needs a new dancer for her club if she is going to make it on the strip. She needs a sexy guy who will cause the ladies to melt. So when she hires Mark Sullivan she has to worry about her own melting factor when it comes to the virile dancer. The heat that she feels from him could melt the polar ice capes...and the icy protective wall she has around herself. But will she still feel the same way when she uncovers Mark's secret? Mark is working undercover for the FBI in what they think is a mobster run strip club. But Nicki seems to innocent despite the fact she might be in bed with the mob. Well, he will get in and do what he has to...hopefully not having to take too much of his clothes off in the process. But, plans are never easily pulled off when you don't count on the burning passion that he feels for the potential bad girl. Will he be able to do his duty and keep his heart out of trouble...or will cupid have other plans? Ms. Bradley has picked up where "Bound and Determined" ended with her latest effort. Mark and Nicki's attraction is Vegas hot without being Vegas "over the top." The storyline is unique and Ms. Bradley manages to pull this off with quirky characters and steamy attraction. Mark is one of my all time favorite romance hero's and the reader will find themselves drawn into this make believe world until the final page.

Hot...Hot...Hot!

This is the first Shelley Bradley book I have ever read, and I am hooked. Mark Sullivan is the ultimate hero! He is hotter than hot! This book had me running to the freezer to cool down! Between an undercover investigation that keeps you riveted and an undeniable passion that keeps you in flames, you will not want to leave your house. You will just want to read more...

Thrilling!!!

When Mark Sullivan's brother-in-law gives him an undercover assignment, the handsome CPA finds himself working as a stripper at a Vegas nightclub. A nightclub linked to the mafia. The club's owner, Nicola DiStefano is possibly unaware her club is being used to launder mafia money. Before Mark can prove her innocence, he has to get a look at Nicki's books without breaking his cover. Nicki has been neglecting her love life in her effort to make her business successful. But her new employee, Mark, is very distracting and very mysterious. And very, very sexy. While the romance is heating up between Mark and Nicki, the danger surrounding Nicki is escalating. With both Mark and Nicki keeping secrets, will they trust one another with the truth before someone gets hurt? I have been anxiously awaiting for the follow up to Bound and Determined! I was thrilled to see Mark get his own book. I've been dreaming of him for months! Mark is so incredibly hot! He makes me melt like an ice cream cone on the Fourth of July. And speaking of the Fourth, Mark and Nicki shoot sparks off of each other! Those two are hotter than a firecracker! We are talking Tomahawk Cruise Missle Hot! Strip Search is delicious. The heat level intensifies in Strip Search and I was left all tingly and wildly aroused. Ignore the sugary cover because inside is a thrilling, erotic and searing read! I highly recommend Strip Search and am already panting for the next book from Shelley Bradley! Annabelle Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
