Just five months ago, Valentine O'Dell started
working at a very special kind of nightclub – one where you can dance the night
away, or live out your greatest fantasy. She's learned to lose herself to her
nights, forgetting all her day time woes as she charms every man she meets.
It's easy enough to do when she doesn't let her feelings get involved.

Then Ari Sharapov walks in and changes
everything.
everything.
Working for his father's law firm has left Ari
with very little control over his life, so when he sees Valentine for the first
time, he sees a girl who is desperate for someone to take care of her. To take
over her. So what he can't get for himself in the day time, he'll simply take
for himself at night. But when power struggles lead to real feelings, who's
actually controlling whom?

Review by Lisa Kane
Valentine O'Dell has struggled most of her twenty two years. First she lost her parents, then her own sister drained her trust fund. She moved from New York to Chicago to live with her grandmother. At least she could continue her studies at design school. Oh wait a minute, about a second after she got there, her grandmom had a stroke and a serious fall. Ever since, Valentine has worked to take care of the two of them.
Where does she work? She works at Cache.
There were underground clubs, and then there was Cache. Off the map, unlisted, almost impossible to find-it was invite only, and not many of its patrons were willing to share such a special place with their friends.
Valentine dances there, fills in for the odd job or two. Of course, a girl could make some extra money if she wanted to-but so far Valentine hasn't gone that route.
A couple of guys come in one night, wearing masks of all things. One is harmless enough, but one...well he catches her eye.
She's paired up in class for a project with a total rich bitch. The two have a ton of work to do outside of class and they meet up at Harper's (the snotty girl) swanky apartment. Just as she's about to leave who walks in...yep hot guy without his mask.
"Valentine, huh," he said in a soft voice. She nodded without looking up.
"Yup."
"...like the holiday."
She's good and caught now. Nobody knows about her job at Cache. But that's about to change.
Ari Sharapov is a rich lawyer who works at his father's firm. He's worked hard for all the has, but there have been some major perks. Like the luxury apartment and sports car that the firm pays for-he may not be a fan of his father's but someday this firm will be his. He dates Harper because it's easier than listening to his father go on and on about aligning their families into a profitable marriage.
But Ari knows a good thing when he sees it and he wants Valentine.
"Ari...I mean, Mr. Sharapov, she said in a soft voice. "He said he wants to be my exclusive client for the next two weeks?"
This is when the story really flies. Valentine is so different from Ari's world. And that's why they are perfect for each other. Ari can be himself with her, and she can relax and not have the whole world on her shoulders.
Now this is a Stylo Fantome story-I mean have you read the Kane Trilogy?
"I'm not...you're not...I don't know these people, I'm not part of your world! That's a job for a girlfriend, not a whore."
I can almost hear the cracks in my heart.
Good girls did not end up in places like Cache. He just had to keep reminding himself of that fact. She'd already been working there long before he'd ever shown up, and had escorted who knew how many men. She was no angel.
Can I please just land one punch on this guy?
This book killed me...seriously, I had such a love/hate thing going on with Ari.
He'd become accustomed to a certain way of life, and he wasn't willing to give it up, not for Valentine. Not for anybody.
Come on, just one punch.
I will not post any quotes that jackass says. They cut too deep and I can't get them out of my head. But one does reap what one sows and Ari is about to tumble.
She could be the actual incarnation of a saint sent to live here on earth, and he would still be the goddamn devil.
So you are going to leave me up on this cliff, dangling from a ball of rope until September?
Well played Ms. Fantome, well played.

Crazy woman
from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a
necessity!), I have been writing since ... forever? Yeah, that sounds about
right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see
shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm
clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs
more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I
do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the
year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a
curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't
understand me.
