| Kitty Bradshaw has a simple job to do for her friend Sandra. It's not
the greatest job, but Kitty needs to pay her rent, so for five hundred
dollars, Kitty will perform a strip-o-gram for her Sandra's boss, a
man known as a bit of a jerk and who Sandra wants some revenge on.
Nathan Guillaume, Kitty's unsuspecting victim, is about to have the
birthday shock of his life. Kitty just hopes she can avoid meeting the
man she had a scorching sexual encounter with at the company's
Christmas party months back.
The job isn't quite as easy as she had hoped however. For one thing, Sandra's boss turns out to be the delectable man she had been trying to avoid. For another, Nathan's office doors are made of glass, so the entire floor can see what's going on inside. Only when she's with Nate, the world seems to melt away and her raunchy strip tease turns into a seductive and oddly intimate moment between herself and Nate. When it's over, Kitty flees, but not before Nate catches her. Will these two finally get the chance they've been waiting for since Christmas or are they doomed to only have one-day stands? Strip-O-Gram is a very endearing story, and it's all because of its feminine protagonist, Kitty Bradshaw, a woman who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. She's nervous, she's excited, and she's falling in love. Written in the first person, a point of view not often explored by the romance writer, the story switches between Nate and Kitty, which allows the reader to get a glimpse into their lives and personalities. Ellie Marvel does a great job of turning the strip-o-gram into a defining moment in the lives of Nate and Kitty. This is a short, but definitely charming romance between two very likable people.
