The first time she met Dex Wilder she was in a bed sheet and body glitter. The second time she was in handcuffs. Could a girl never catch a break?

Sydney Stratton is a tall honey-blond light blue-eyed struggling singer. She wants to make it big and doesn't want to use her looks to get there. Sleazy talent agents, grabby hands and propositions are a hazard and ones she's learn to avoid. When she isn't with her band playing a gig in a seedy bar, she's sleepy, writing music, or most likely working her tailbone off at a caterer job to make ends meet.

She meets Dex Wilder on the eve of his fame. They hit it off, attraction sizzling between the two enough to set her toga on fire (not literally). They have wild heart-pounding, breath-stealing sex, and when he wants her number she runs off. Sydney tried to relegate their fling into a one-night stand and forget him, but soon his picture is everywhere, his music everyone.

When they meet again, she's still as she was, struggling to get her big break. The lust is at an all time high and it's only ratcheted up a notch or two or twenty with the handcuffs.  He's still interested in her, wants to take her to dinner but the perils of his fame are already zapping. Scared and unsure of his sincerity, Sydney runs... it's a good thing Dex has longer-legs or he'd never catch her.

My two favorite lines:

I instantly knew what sex with him would be like: hot, hard, and devastating.

Dex Wilder was definitely better than anything you could order from a catalog.

The story is good, solid, and sexy. The editing, not so much, which by now is a dead horse.
