Alpha Book Club's review:
Four sizzling stars for this sexy and suspenseful striptease!!!
“There’s a fine line between dealing in the right side of sin and the wrong side of it.”
Grady Paulson isn't your average stripper. He's a Yale grad that is down on his luck after Lehman Brothers went under. Turning to stripping to pay the bills, Grady is a guest dancer for the next four months at The Flesh Factory, the new up and coming club in New Orleans.
Allison Wagner, or Little Al as her tenants call her, is a tough nut to crack. Working as an anesthetist for a local plastic surgeon, she likes to provide her tenants with the comforts of home, but prefers to keep her personal life separate, hiding behind her ground rules.
When Grady and Allison meet, sparks fly and Grady is determined to break through all of Allison's rules. And the wall she has built around her heart.
"Listen to us. We're two people so chewed up by life that when someone wonderful comes along, we only wonder what we did wrong, instead of being happy that we finally did something right."
I love this line because it sums up their situation perfectly. Sometimes the biggest obstacle we have to overcome in a relationship is our own insecurities. But when we finally let go of them, sometimes we find more joy than we ever imagined.
I thought the chemistry between Allison and Grady was hot. The way they connected on a physical level, but mentally and emotionally as well really drew me into the story. And I loved that there was enough story about the secondary characters that made you really care about them. Overall, I really enjoyed The Art of Sin by Alexandrea Weis and I’m adding her other books to my TBR list.
