About the book: He’s undercover. She’s in over her head. Yoga
instructor Kylie Roberts is the good twin. At least she was—until an
accident forces Kylie to step into her twin’s sexy stilettos at a posh
Hollywood “men’s club." But nothing could've prepared Kylie for the dead
body in the club’s parking lot or the ridiculously hot detective who
insists the killer is targeting her regulars. Detective Trevor McCade
needs Kylie’s help to draw out the killer. It means long nights
undercover and long dances where Kylie’s body tempts him with sensual
promises. Dances that leave them both wanting more. But despite Kylie's
hidden identity and the danger lurking in the shadows, it’s only a
matter of time before Kylie and Trevor take this undercover operation
under the covers…
Lover Undercover is
a romance packed with sexual tension that will leave you panting, and your
heart racing. Add some mystery, suspense,
and a sweet heroic cop and you have an addictive read. Yes, please!!
Kylie is used to bailing her twin sister, Stacy, out of
whatever pickle she’s got herself into since they were young. She’s the responsible, good twin and her
sister is the wild and reckless twin.
This current pickle takes the cake on embarrassing and awkward,
though. Her sister broke her ankle so
Kylie has to step into her role as a stripper or both of them have to pack their
things, forget their dreams and move on back home to Two Trout, Tennessee, a
place they’d both like to forget. They
can’t survive in Los Angeles without the money Stacy rakes in dancing at the
high end stripper club, Deuces.
Almost immediately the situation goes from bad to worse when
Kylie is thrown in the center of a murder investigation. This is where the handsome, charismatic, and
take charge cop, Trevor comes in. He’s
in charge of this case and enlists the help of Kylie, or Stacy as he thinks,
because the victims are Stacy’s exclusive VIP clients. Kylie has no choice but to cooperate, fearing
what will happen if the police or Deuces find out that she’s been impersonating
her sister. Trevor knows things don’t
quite add up with “Stacy,” because she’s a mass of contradictions. Blushing and shy does not describe the usual
stripper. He wants to find out why
because of the investigation, but if he’s being totally honest, it’s because
Kylie has wedged under his skin.
I have to say I was a little worried about picking this up
because the thought of reading about a stripper, and the life that goes along
with it is not something I’m attracted to.
Kylie’s role as a stripper is not as cringe-worthy or seedy as it
sounded, plus most of her dancing interactions involved Trevor!! The private lap dances she gave him we’re so
filled with sexual tension and steamy build-up, you might need a freezer to
stick your panties in after reading!!
He leaned in, trapping her with his body. Inhaling her familiar scent,
he said, “You’ve taught me something about myself.”
Into the swelling silence she released a pent-up breath. “What’s that?”
“I like bad girls.” He grazed his teeth along her neck, provoking an
aroused little moan from her. “One in particular, I can’t resist. I may have to
take you into protective custody.”
Trevor is the all-around perfect hero: protective and sweet,
and willing to put it all out there for his feelings. Kylie on the other hand is guarded after
years of seeing her mother’s bad relationships and disappointments. She’s innocent because she’s kept men at arm’s
length, scared of being vulnerable and ending up hurt, but she can’t help her
big heart from opening up and caring for Trevor. Kylie’s heart clenches with worry when their
plan to lure the killer out puts Trevor in harms way.
I always love it when my romances have mystery and suspense
mixed in. While I had my suspicions early
on regarding the murderer (the hazards of being a long-time mystery reader), it
was still exciting seeing how things played out.
I was sucked into the sweet and spicy story! Kylie and Trevor’s romance both thrilled and
warmed my heart! This is the first novel I’ve read by Samanthe Beck, but it won’t
be my last. Crystal read, reviewed and
raved about Private Practice, so I plan on picking that up next!
