| Bax Dixon is just starting to put his life back together. Falsely accused of murder, his acquittal for lack of evidence doesn’t make up for the time already spent behind bars. It doesn’t make up for a lost career and it sure as hell doesn’t make up for the horrors endured in the prison showers. Grateful to be given the menial job of yard boy, Bax wants only to do his work, take his pay and lock himself away from the rest of the world in the rotting-orange shag carpeted, avocado decorated nightmare of a pool house allotted him.
Tannie Hogan needs help finding her missing sister. The police can’t help her since her sister left with the scum bag she’d married. So Tannie determines to track her down herself. She just needs a bit of information. And who better to ask than the scum bag’s former boss, Bax Dixon. But seeing the muscles ripple and the sweat drip from the yard boy’s powerfully built body gets Tannie a little sidetracked. She’s a rebellious Catholic girl with a penchant for wearing short, tight, marginally legal mini-skirts and no panties. He’s an ex-con who hasn’t seen a body this lush in. . .well, ever. Together, they break a few laws, including indecent exposure in public places, while on the trail of Tannie’s sister. Hot August Nights, by Evelyn Starr, combines mystery and down-and-dirty sex with a surprisingly quirky wit that will have you coming back for more. An excellent read.
