Shanna York is being blackmailed by an unknown enemy. Having been sent an anonymous video tape of her dance partner in a risqué position right before a major competition, Shanna sees her dreams of becoming a champion ballroom dancer go down the drain. Refusing to bow out without a fight, Shanna goes to where the video was supposedly shot, a sex club called Sneak Peek . There she finds Alejandro Diaz, one of the owners of the fetish club and the man that she stood up at a charity dance auction. Asking for his help isn’t easy; Shanna is self-reliant and never risks depending on others. What Shanna finds, however, is that some burdens are better shared.  

Alejandro Diaz has watched and wanted determined and disciplined ballroom dancer Shanna York for months. When he is able to buy his way into her arms at a charity dance auction, he uses every ounce of charm he has to woo her; even when she abandons him on the dance floor. The next day Alejandro is pleasantly surprised to find Shanna at his club imploring his help to catch a blackmailer. Agreeing to assist Shanna, Alejandro is determined to get inside this woman’s heart. He will settle for nothing less.  

As a lover of the romance genre, I have learned that Shelley Bradley can write about a variety subjects and consistently deliver a riveting story that is entertaining, romantic, and so sinfully hot that the pages steam. WATCH ME represents all this and more.  While I know next to nothing about ballroom dancing, Ms. Bradley describes the characters and the dance moves in such a way that I can picture Shanna and Alejandro in each other’s arms gliding across the floor. Add in the wicked scenes from his naughty club and this reviewer was blushing from head to toe. Alejandro is patient, gentle, and forceful enough to be exactly what Shanna needs in her life.  

WATCH ME is the first installment of a two part ‘duet’ from Samhain called Sneak Peek . Shelley Bradley’s talent as an author continues to grow and shine. She remains one of my favorite authors to read and I find myself waiting impatiently for each and every release.
