Philamina Zorn is taking a leave from her police job with Internal Affairs because her boss says she needs street experience. Wouldn't it figure that the undercover assignment she nets is with Lt. Ty Jamerson? He was the subject of one of the first cases she investigated with IA and she couldn't find enough evidence that he was a bad cop to make the charges stick.

Now she's under his direction and what's worse, she's working in a strip club. Thank goodness she's not stripping, just working as a cocktail waitress. At least, Phil thinks that until she sees the miniscule uniform. Ignoring her feelings of embarrassment, Phil slips into another persona to get the job done and when she's on duty, she becomes Kat. Her total focus should be trying to find out who was involved in the disappearances of three women, the last one an undercover cop. They were working at the club and left notes saying they'd been called away. But Ty knows something happened to them and is determined to find out what.

Getting in touch with her Kat side has pumped up Phil's sexuality, and the sizzling anger that had always been there between herself and Ty turns hot. In a nightclub atmosphere where sex is selling (and for sale), the two can't keep their hands off each other.

Whew! An erotica book with a plot. What a relief. While some of the dialogue is a little stilted, Karin Tabke's first novel is a blast of hot air. It's a fun female fantasy come to life. There are probably many women who've dreamed about strutting the stripper stage, leaving men falling in their wake. While obviously this isn't the way it goes for real-life strippers, Kat gets the experience in an ideal atmosphere -- with three undercover cops keeping her safe. You'll need a cold drink, a tub of ice or a little action of your own to get through this one.

Book Summary

Straight-laced, by-the-book police officer Philamina Zorn has always lived by the letter of the law--that is, until she is assigned to work with Lieutenant Ty Jamerson, a tough-as-nails, arrogantly handsome cop who knows exactly how to press her buttons.

Staking out Klub Kashmir, Lansdowne's hottest gentleman's club, Phil and Ty go undercover to bait the kidnapper of three young women--including two strippers from the club-- while trying to keep their clashing personalities at bay.

Baring more than just her inhibitions, Phil dons a barely- there ensemble, straps on stilettos, and reveals her feisty side as Kat, a seductively sexy cocktail waitress who lets her luscious curves do the talking. Not only is she determined to expose a criminal, but she has vowed to show her hot-headed lieutenant, a.k.a. floor manager of Klub Kashmir, that she's no shrinking violet.

As Phil and Ty become deeper entrenched in the sordid underground world of exotic dancing, where money means everything and passions run wild, flaring tension becomes uncontrollable lust. It's all they can do not to surrender to desire--a hunger that intensifies with each playful encounter. Meanwhile, a cold-blooded criminal is hiding in the shadows--and a devastating secret that if revealed, could shake Phil to her core.
