Strip Search, by Shayla Black, was a phenomenal and titillating novel. Nicki DiStephano is the main character of this thriller/suspense/romance novel. Nicki has been on her own since her parents dies and her uncle, Pietro, is the head of the Gamalini mafia ring, but she doesn't know it. Nicki is frustrated because she has sunk all her money into a strip joint and her uncle helped bank role her, so now he thinks he can do what he wants. He puts one of his goons, Blade Bocelli, in as an accountant, and Nicki is hard pressed to get rid of him, but women have to keep their mouths closed and know their place in the family. Nicki has a knockout, half sister, named Lucia, a very intelligent professor home for the summer. Nicki wants to get rid of Bocelli, but the only way out of the situation is to first pay her uncle back.

Mark Sullivan owns an undercover investigation agency with his brother in law, Rafe. They are doing a job for the feds, and have to bring down a thug with connections to the mafia, Blade Bocelli. In order to do this, Mark, must act as if he is a stripper to infiltrate the business and find out who is laundering money and where it's going through the strip joint. Mark used to be married, and his wife, Tiffany, destroyed his life, setting him up for embezzlement and prison. The man that helped bring him down was Blade Bocelli, and now he is in this job deep for the ultimate pay back. He has never been the same again once he found out Tiffany never really loved him, and he was just a patsy for her greed. Mark got cleared, with the help of his sister, Kerry, left Florida for New York, and never looked back. He has had a tough life, including the death of his parents, the loss of Kerry for three years to foster care, stage two melanoma, and chemo therapy. Mark eventually petitioned to get Kerry back and they were very close from that point on. He has a lot of one night stands, but never repeats, till him and Nicki get together, and both have an undeniable attraction to each other.

Bocelli was a voyeur, waiting around every corner. Always lurking and giving Nicki the creeps. She tried to stay clear of him as much as possible. He was definitely attracted to her little sister Lucia, and that was a problem for Nicki. Mark and Nicki begin a mutual sexual relationship, but every time Nicki thinks that they are getting closer, Mark is long gone once the deed is done. Mark has a lot of conflict, and trust issues due to his past experience with Tiffany, and he never wants to fall prey to another woman. He over analyzes everything. Mark just needs to earn Nicki's trust, which she has a hard time doing also, so he can get a chance at doing the books for her to see what is really going on. Does Nicki know what is going on? Is she part of the illegal crime going on? Is she outsmarting and outwitting Mark like Tiffany did? Will Mark find the answers before someone kills Nicki or him in the balance for power? These are all questions the reader will find themselves asking.

This novel was fantastic!!! It was fast paced, non stop action, near death accidents, coincidences or not, and the hottest...swoon worthy...love scenes ever! Mark is some yummy eye candy on a stick, and it takes a beauty like Nicky a whole lot of time and effort to melt the ice around this man's heart. Ms. Black has just made it to the top of my list for sexy and erotic novels.

I give Strip Search, by Shayla Black 4 Intriguing, Scary, Enticing, Swoon Worthy Stars!!!

Ok I have read some of Shayla Black other books and they were good thats why I bought this one. Strip Seach was an OK book. Mark Sullivan has to go undercover as a stipper because they are trying to bust some Mafia guys. Mark meets owner of the strip club, Nicola DiStefanos and they hit it off right away. Mark doesn know if Nicola is involved with the whole Mafai thing so he has to be careful around her. Nicola is a really good girl and she just wants to love someone and feel loved. Nicola thinks that she might be able to get that with Mark.
Mark has been burned before by his ex-wife. She really does a number on the guy. So as far as Mark is concerned Nicola is the same way. Mark gets her into bed and he is kind and gentle to her and as soon as the sex is over he becomes the biggest Jack*** to ever walk the planet. He does this over and over again. Nicola needs to fine her spine and her witts because she just lets him wall all over her.

Mark finally realizes that Nicola is not his ex-wife and she has done nothing to deserve they way he has treated her. Mark lays himself bare and asked for forgiveness.

I think that I would have liked this book better if Nicola had been more of a fighter and didn't let Mark just walk over all her because the sex sooooooo good and she was falling for the guy. Mark was just mean and didnt seem to care for Nicolas feelings at the time. Of course he would start to miss her and he would say that he was sorry and she would always forgive him.

Mark was coming off of a bad divorce and was more than happy when his boss (and brother-in-law) at an electronic security and surveillance company asks him to go undercover at a bar in Las Vegas. The FBI thinks it’s a front for a money laundering business for the mob. They want a free-lance investigator’s help because the agent they have working the case, hasn’t been heard from in several months and may have gone rogue. They need someone to get a look at the bar’s books and see if there are any illegal activities going on. Mark is a natural for the job because of his CPA background. The only catch is the bar, Girls’ Night Out, is a male stripe joint. Mark has to become an exotic dancer and he’s not happy about it.
Nicki DiStefano is the owner of the Girls’ Night Out. She has put her blood sweat and tears into making it successful so she can pay her overbearing uncle back the startup money he loaned her to open the place. She’s holding auditions for a replacement dancer, and is dismayed at the Michael Jackson want-a-be that was just on stage and is really hoping the next guy is better. In walks Mark Gabriel, a tall, blond haired, green eyed, Adonis. If he can dance half as good as he looks, he’s hired.
Mark is on a mission to discover is the bar is being used to launder money and to find out is Nicki is involved. If she is, he’ll take her and anyone else connected to the illegal activity down. What he didn’t count on was falling in love with her.
This book is a fun and easy read. The author does a great job of developing the characters’ personalities and story line. Nicki and Mark are intelligent, stubborn, frustrating, funny and totally likeable. The story draws you in and has enough twists and turns to make you want to hang around to see how everything turns out.
