Music producer on the rise Cyn Tha Starr knows what she likes, from her sickening beats in the studio to the flirty femmes she fools around with. Her ever-rotating roster has never been a problem until her latest fling clashes with Jucee, her best friend and the most popular dancer at strip club Sanity.

It makes Cyn see Jucee in a different light. One with far fewer boundaries and a lot more kissing.

Juleesa Jones makes great money dancing the early shift and spends most evenings with her son, her Sanity family or at Cyn’s house. Relationships are not high on the priority list—until she’s forced to admit that maybe friendship isn’t the only thing she wants from her bestie.

Cyn and Jucee are amazing. 

This was a really fun, really hot journey that these two friends went on. Who would have thought a short work trip away would have you coming back and realizing that your best friend is actually someone that you definitely want to bang? Not Cyn, I can tell you that. But that's exactly what she realized. And what do we do when we realize that we have sexy feelings for our best friend? We make out and hook up and then panic and avoid one another for a while! Duh! Everybody knows that. 

I'm obsessed with the way that Houston strip clubs are described in this book. And just the view of sex work in general that's portrayed in this book. This is Jucee's career. She's not working her way through school or using the club as a way station until she moves on to bigger and better things. She's a dancer and this is her way to dance and do what she loves. It's incredible.

I also really love that these are fat women. Not just "curvy" or "voluptuous" but fat. And still super hot. Top of their games hot. And they celebrate their bodies and each other's bodies. It's really a beautiful study in body positivity. 

Thank you to Carina Adores and NetGalley for this ARC.
