Private Dancer [Paperback]

Sheri Whitefeather (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 3, 2010

Another scorching erotic romance from national bestselling author Sheri Whitefeather.

It's been two years since Jay and Beverly divorced- and Jay still can't get her off his mind. Even more frustrating is that Beverly hasn't given up her job as a stripper at a local club-so close, yet so untouchable, unless Jay's willing to pay.

Old passions and jealousies lure him to the club. But when Jay pays for a lap dance, it only makes him want her back, and want her bad. Now for Jay and Beverly, it's the second time around. But this time, there are going to be a few changes, and what happens between them is that last thing either expected.

Private Dancer by Sheri Whitefeather
Contemporary Romance- Aug. 3, 2010
3 stars

Private Dancer is an erotic story with an underlying BDSM themes that also includes a lush and sensual historical story.

Private Dancer is about Jay and Beverly. They divorced because Jay could not get over his jealousy. Beverly is a stripper and loves the independence it gives her. But Jay wanted her to quit and this resulted in a divorcee. But Jay can't forget Beverly and he wants to see if he can make their relationship work. But Beverly has been making changes in her life, too. She is trying to find out about her past life where she discovers she was a princess in a harem where she seduced her unsuspecting husband. During this time she also `performed' for her husband and as a result won his love. Both stories are unconventional and the sex is creative and often steamy.

However, the inclusion of 2 stories as Beverly flashbacks between her time in a harem and the present time were disjointed and frequently broke up the story's flow. I wish the author had chosen one story or severely cut back on either the contemporary or historical 'past life.' Because there is pretty much equal time spent in both times neither is really as focused on and the story suffers and so do the characters' development. Of the 2 stories I found the harem story more interesting. It was more exotic than the contemporary story.

For a quick read and hot scenes this is a good book. But unfortunately the story suffers from the author trying to put too many characters into the storyline. This resulted in an awkward and uncomfortable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars entertaining erotic romantic fantasy, August 7, 2010

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Private Dancer (Paperback)

Beverly Gilbert loves her vocation in spite of knowing that being an exotic dancer who also taught the art led to her divorce two years from her husband Jay Novak. He hated her profession and demanded she end her career as Malibu; instead she quit their marriage. Now his former ménage partners (Amber and Luke) persuade Jay to come to the Dusky Doll because he remains hard (heart and penis) at the thought of Beverly.

Jay asks her what she has been doing and she mentions regression therapy. In the late eighteenth century in the Mediterranean, Camille Renard is to marry spoiled Neylan Empire heir Prince David Abir Ron Veli, but she detests being just part of the harem. She wants to be his harem and plans to lure her future husband with her sexual enticement. As the stripper and the ex begin an affair, she wonders if he was the Prince while he is jealous of her Prince.

This is an entertaining erotic romantic fantasy that uses reincarnation to tie the two eras together. The story line is heated from the moment Jay reappears in Beverly's life especially beginning with her lap dance that readers will want to emulate with their significant other. Well written with strong characterizations, sub-genre fans will relish Beverly two times while wondering like her if Jay is jealous of himself.
