Book Description:
Exotic dancer Sierra Lavotini's latest brainstorm to help the Tiffany Gentleman's Club turn a profit is a disaster. Sierra, headliner for the classiest strip joint in Panama City, Florida, and the club's owner, Vincent Gambuzzo, invited a gallery of porn actresses to guest star on the Tiffany stage. It's a gutsy plan, considering that most of these silicone-enhanced creatures don't have much in the way of true talent. As Sierra likes to say, at the Tiffany dancing consists of more than T&A working a pole.

Still, under Sierra's firm guidance, the venture seems to be raking in the cash. At least until a sniper begins taking exception-starting with Venus, who is shot and killed. Sierra takes a bullet in the, ahem, posterior region during the attack, and would like nothing more than to forget about the whole thing and convalesce with the help of her on-again boyfriend, Homicide Detective John Nailor. But when the investigation hones in on Marla, another Tiffany girl, Sierra is forced to focus her energy on finding the real killer. No small task, considering the interest of the local "organization" in the situation, even once Sierra enlists the help of her landlady Pat; Raydean, her psychotic neighbor; and her oldest brother Francis.

Steamy romance, intrigue, laugh-out-loud humor, mob bosses, and Sierra's overprotective Italian family-it's all here in Nancy Bartholomew's latest hilarious tale.

Stripper and cop have the hots for each other. Meet the neighbor who thinks everybody is an alien when she forgets to take her meds, a nosey Italian family, a strip club owner who fluctuates between being nice to his girls and being a pig, and yep, there you have it! A laugh a minute! This is the third in the series, and I have the 4th on the way.

I thought this book was the best so far out of the 3 in the series - I can't wait to move on to 'Strip Poker', which appears to be the last in this series. This book was more intense than the other two but it still so reminded me of the Stephanie Plum series and I just love all the quirky characters and the binds that Sierra gets caught up in. Great book and great author! :p

Unfortunately, this series seems to have been abandoned at 4 books, but all four are light, breezy, funny reads. Set in Panama City, FL the main character is a dancer at a men's club, solving crimes on the side with the help of her more than eccentric alien hunting neighbor and her attack chihuahua. There is occasional rough language and some jarring sex scenes that throw off the fast pace and don't really seem integrated into the author's writing style.

A fun continuation of the Sierra Lavotini saga. A delight to read.

This is a funny mystery in the style of Evanovich and Ledbetter, and if you like either of those two, you'll enjoy this series. Sierra is a dancer at a gentlemen's club, and becomes embroiled in solving the murders of visiting porn star-dancers, after she herself is shot.

Funny engaging story. First I'd read of the series, but I plan to seek out the others.
