I'm not sure what I just read. That had to have been one of the most rushed, pointless, and anticlimactic stories that I have ever read.

To sum the whole story up a college student becomes a stripper (though she always saw herself becoming one when she grew up), she met the DJ, he paid for some of her "private time", they went to a diner after work, then they wrapped it all up having sex. That's it, all there was!

While I've read some fabulous novellas, this one was way too short and way too rushed to be entertaining. Even the sex scene was rushed, one minute their sitting on the couch and the next their having sex. There's no kissing, no fondling, or foreplay of any kind... which pretty much sums the entire story up.

*I received a e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions*

I received this book for my honest review from NetGalley.


Wow. There's really not much I can say on this one, certainly not enough for a full out review like I usually do.

The gist of the story ~ girl becomes stripper, girl meets DJ to set up her songs, girl and DJ fall madly in lust, they talk, they joke, he buys a private dance, they had dinner, they have sex ~ the end!

That was this book, plus two pages about Oreo pies and milkshakes. I love Oreo anything, but really?! The writing was all over the place, sometimes I had to read things a few times to ty to figure out what was being said. The change from 1st person to 3rd without any kind of punctuation really threw me for a loop for a few minutes. Long long rambling conversations that made no baring on the over all story. It's just a poorly written, dull book.

I gotta start looking at GoodReads before I request a book from NG. This book is as bad as all the previous ratings have said. Will not be continuing with other books.
