Sheila's Reads

Dakota strips at a dance club where the owner, Yuri, wants him to move into doing porn films. Dakota has dreams of being an aerialist in one of the shows on the Strip so he declines. He also has a 13-year-old brother who has run away from home and of whom he wants to get custody. He is attacked by Yuri on the street and it is called in as an attack by some bystanders. That is when he meets Reed, a cop who begins to help him with his brother and Yuri. Will Reed's assistance help Dakota? Will Dakota be free of Yuri?

I enjoyed this story. I liked Dakota. He was over the top but he was sincere. I liked Reed's steady presence. Dakota needed that. Reed is working out his sexuality when Dakota comes into his life but the attraction between them is real and hot. Both discover things about themselves as well as each other. Other relationships are also looked at through the book. I loved that Dakota's brother pressed him to answer questions as did Reed's daughter. It made them feel as though they were a family working together to be successful.

I look forward to more in this series.
