Stripping used to be fun…
A successful career as an aerialist is all Dakota has ever dreamed of, but his job as a dancer at Glitter Boys is what pays the bills. However, the owner of the hottest male strip club in Vegas lusts after Dakota and will stop at nothing to possess him. Then Dakota’s thirteen-year-old brother runs away from home to escape their abusive father, and he becomes determined to rescue him from the danger of the streets.
Patrol officer Reed hasn’t been attracted to a man in a very long time, but when he’s called to an assault in progress at the LGBTQ teen shelter, a young stranger changes everything. Reed fights the instant spark of attraction, certain that nothing will happen between them. Yet when he stumbles across that same man during another call, he wonders if fate has already set their future in motion.
Destiny is one thing, but the stark reality of daily life is another. Dakota isn’t sure he and Reed stand a chance. If Reed can’t be there for him and his brother as a family, then Dakota fears he has no choice but to say goodbye.

This book was unique in the sense that it is a couple of different stories rolled into one. The first part of the story consists of the main character Dakota being a stripper who is trying his hardest to make a new life for himself by saving his money. But his does not come without the complications of his boss not being able to take no for answer and believing that Dakota “belongs” to him.
The second part of the story involves the fact that Dakota has a younger brother who is being abused by their father and has run away. So now Dakota is focusing some of his time on trying to find his brother so he can fight for guardianship of him.
Both storylines were good but I also found that with the new romance blossoming between Dakota and a police officer named Reed, it was just a lot for one book.
With all that being said, I did enjoy the story but I honestly felt there were too many different storylines happening at once that did not leave a lot of room for each one to be expanded on. In my opinion, the whole love story over took most of this book so I did not feel like the other portions of this book got enough attention.
Although I have my reservations about what I just mentioned, I did still enjoy this book and believe that others will as well. There is a lot of information to take in but I did connect with the characters of this book.
I look forward to reading future books by Morticia Knight!
