BLURB:
Mama always warned her that a sense of adventure would only lead to trouble…
Tall. Dark. Delicious. Trouble.
Mabel Lee Montgomery lives in the cradle of the church’s stifling arms. A disgraced preacher’s dutiful daughter, she’s protective of her mama and works endlessly to abolish the stigma left by her father’s scandal. But sometimes a woman just has to hang up her good girl ways and break free for a night. What better way than a bachelorette celebration at a wildly popular and completely taboo strip club outside the city limits?
Kellen Savage never thought a brief stint stripping would be more than a quick infusion of cash to repair the wreckage of his tumultuous past. Repelling the hungry pursuit of a serious relationship by the female persuasion just served as an added bonus. Until the prim and proper hot mess sitting front and center gives him an unintended show of her own between her tongue, a cherry, and enticing cleavage. Fascinated by her resilience as she stubbornly tries to keep up with her fast friends, he might just have to rethink his bachelor status.
Call it fate or call it a night of sin ending with a phone number scrawled on a condom. Either way, Mabel Lee and Kellen are about to embark on the joy ride of their lives. Their adventure starts out with fun and games, but the blind curves in the road ahead may prove too sharp for this unlikely match to maneuver. When the dust settles, Mabel Lee may have to face that fact that she’s more apt for scandal than a church pew, but will she be cut out for the scarlet letter it comes with?
My Review:
My Rating: 3 Stars
I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. Mabel Lee's best friend is getting married and to celebrate her bachelorette party they decide to go to a strip club. Since Mabel Lee is the most innocent of her friends they make her a list of challenges they want to see her do that night. While trying to do one of the challenges Mabel catches the eye of one of the entertainers "Viper." As soon as Viper sees Mabel Lee he knows she isn't like any other woman he's met. Leaving Mabel his phone number on a condom he hopes she will call him. After the two start talking Mabel realizes she likes Kellan and wants to know more about him. The two start dating, but Mabel has to be careful with the eyes of her father's church and mom watching over her. This was a cute story that didn't have too much drama. I thought it was a little too insta-love for my taste, but it's only 192 pages. I was expecting more drama the way Mabel was raised. I wanted to see more of how they fell in love and their relationship play out. I thought Mabel Lee was too perfect of a character and it just made the book seem that much more unbelievable. I will read the second one as I think it is longer and more of my trope of best friends sister. This wasn't a bad book, just not the best book for me. I also didn't care for how fast everything worked out. I just wanted more.
