A Rose for Mr. Dillinger
Kate SnowContemporary romance
Available from Scheherazade Tales
January 2005
| Glenna Rose finds on the night of her bachelorette party that, instead of the quiet dinner shes expecting to have with her sister and friends, she is visiting a stripper club with them. The embarrassment she feels at first; after all, she has a certain position to uphold. What if someone from the College sees her? What would her fiance think if he knew? Does she even want to be here? And then the lights go down and Dillinger happens.
She wasnt always like this. For staid Professor Rose, her repressed inner self begins to come to the surface in this night, for the first time in a long time, and in the next few days she begins to think about just what she desires physically and emotionally. Questions begin to pop up in her mind. Should she be experiencing more romance and affection, after all, she IS engaged. Is she settling for something that should be more? What happened to lust, the fresh new excitement of new love? Is her fiance going to be enough or will he bore her silly after a while? This is truly a romantic story, just yummy, for all those romantics out there. And the excitement of being part of the audience in the club definitely comes across; I found myself anxious to check out the next entre..Definitely read this book, all you romantics. There is a wonderful line in this story and I just have to mention it---look for it in the scene where Matt visits Glenna and wants to know what she thinks of his books (the word analyze is in this sentence). This line sums up so well the essence in every bookworm out there in Readerland.
