My Thoughts
Beth was still dealing with the emotional after effects of her divorce and the horrible words that he ex slung at her. She applies to have someone help her get her O back and ends up working at a sexified club that just so happens to have a scorching hot bartender. Unfortunately fellow employees are of limits. Thank goodness neither her or Anthony are able to resist each other. Crossing that line has consequences and Anthony has a secret hidden behind his mask. I really enjoyed this second chance at love story.

About the Book
Frigid bitch. The words seep into Beth Ritmour's soul, no
matter how hard she tries to deny them. A year after her divorce, they still
haunt her. So when a mysterious benefactor offers a solution to her problem,
Beth takes a vacation from her job as a dental hygienist and follows a cryptic
note to Chicago, where she’s soon ensconced as a waitress at Club Masquerade.
Although how she’s going to prove she’s not frigid is hard to figure out when
the boss makes it very clear that sex, or any precursors to sex, with patrons
or employees is strictly taboo. It’s not an easy rule to follow, especially
when one deliciously hot bartender keeps very, very close tabs on her.

My Thoughts
Jenna has let her mom run her life forever and planning her wedding is the extreme version. Her fiance Josh wants her to find her own strength and be her own person. He applies for someone to help her. She ends up attending a romance convention and speaks about her writing. This helps her confidence hugely. When she and Josh decide to change things about the wedding Jenna will have to face her mom as she goes after her happily ever after.
I have to admit that Jenna got on my nerves with letting her mom run her over so much. She was a walking floor mat for her mom. Loved her bestie and Josh as well.

About the Author
After years of searching, Lace settled down with a man whose
first words to her were "Save me a dance." That's all it took. Four
little words and she was a goner. Twenty years later, she still remembers that
first kiss, standing beside his yellow Ford Mustang cool car. (Yes, it was
yellow. "Hey," Lace says. "It was cool at the time.") And
it still is in her mind and in her heart. That kiss and the future love it
represented is the reason she enjoys stories filled with romance and emotion.
And dancing. Always dancing.
