As heir to her father’s holdings, and chairperson of her family’s charitable foundations, Janine esteems reputation above all else.  No matter what her innermost desires are, as a member of the public eye, she must always be above reproach lest she besmirch the Bartolino name and damage their organization.

When her friends drag her out for her thirtieth birthday, she has no idea they are going to Sneak Peek, an exclusive sex club.  And she certainly wasn’t prepared to meet a man like Del, who seems to see inside her darkest fantasies, but has no regard for reputation, at least not his own.  But once she has a taste of what Del offers, she can’t stay away, and soon she finds herself exploring the boundaries of exhibitionism with Del in ways she never before imagined.

Del has always had his choice of women.  As the bachelor partner in Sneak Peek, he finds himself with more than ample opportunity to indulge his most hedonistic tendencies without reservation.  Yet when he meets the reserved Janine, he is intrigued by releasing her from her inhibitions and unlocking the passions she has buried deep down inside…

Jaci Burton has swiftly moved up my list of favorite authors, and when I learned she was partnering with Shelley Bradley to write the SNEAK PEEK stories, I jumped at the chance to review these stories by two such talented writers.  Burton’s SHOW ME picks up where Bradley’s WATCH ME leaves off, and stars the supporting male character from the prior story, Phillipe “Del” Delacroix as well as seeing a return of Alejandro in a supporting role this time.  Bradley and Burton work well together, connecting the two stories seamlessly.

Del is the epitome of the playboy/bad boy.  Rich, successful, and with some very wild sexual predilections, he is the kind of man women love to try and tame – just a little bit.  Getting to know his character, I found myself reminded of that line in one of Tim McGraw’s songs more than once: “I may be a real bad boy, but baby, I’m a real good man.”  That describes Del perfectly.  Del is wicked, tempting, and absolutely untamable, but when it comes down to it, he is definitely a good man.  He shows his concern for Janine in everything he does, and still manages to push her limits sexually, fulfilling her wildest yearnings over and over again.

Janine is a woman caught between the woman she thinks she needs to be and the woman she really is.  When her real world and her fantasies collide, she has to learn more than just how to let herself go – she has to learn to trust.

I won’t be shy about saying it – I loved this story!  Jaci Burton has penned a tale that is smoking hot, and also manages to be extremely romantic.  I felt every emotion these characters felt, and was on the edge of my seat until I finished the last chapter. 

SHOW ME is connected to Shelley Bradley’s book, WATCH ME.  The stories will be enhanced if you read them in order (WATCH ME first and SHOW ME second) but each works very well as a standalone tale.  Both stories release separately in eBook this month from Samhain Publishing, and will be released together in print in an anthology titled SNEAK PEEK in 2008.
