About Electrified (The Electric Tunnel Series #1):
Everyone knows her as Sienna Flower.
Her curves and long lashes tease and taunt from her very own billboard where the desert meets the Las Vegas Strip. She’s the hottest stripper in town, known for her sultry and indecent moves coupled with her virginal eyes.
She’s a heady and unique combination, and a mystery to all who come to see her.
Sienna captivates crowds nightly at the Electric Tunnel, leaving them wanting to know more about the sensual enigma. But no one ever sees beyond the heavily guarded stripper onstage. She is Sienna Flower 24/7.
No one other than her closest friend and boss, Asher Peterson, who helped turn a young and frightened girl into who Sienna is today. Together they created the sexual illusion known as Sienna Flower. They will go to any lengths to protect her image, which is why Sienna is convinced she must remain unattached and alone.
Like everyone else in Vegas, Sienna is hiding something and playing a role. A good girl in her former life, she was raised to be obedient and accepting of her fate, but there are some circumstances no one should be expected to accept. She escaped to a world light years away from the one she was subjected to…the Electric Tunnel.
Now she can never be anything other than Sienna Flower. Not only would she be hurt, but everyone around her would suffer the consequences.
That is, until she meets private detective Carson Graham, the dark and mysterious ex-FBI agent who watches her dance every weekend. With his dark hair and chocolate-brown eyes, Carson begins to heat Sienna’s heart and body, melting away the layers and secrets. Sienna doesn’t want to get attached to Carson, but when another man surfaces and starts hunting her down, bringing out the scars of her old life, she can’t help but seek comfort in Carson’s protection.
With everyone trading on the secrets of her past, Sienna finds herself caught in an awful web of lies. Her ultimate fear is hurting her friends at the Tunnel, but she doesn’t know who to trust. Namely, Carson. Is he good? Or bad? Does she have the luxury of finding out?
My Review:
Electrified by Rachel BlaufeldMy rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Sienna Flower is a well-known stripper in Las Vegas who mesmerizes nearly all who watch her dance. She has incredibly sexy dance moves coupled with an innocent look in her eyes. Her best friend Asher is one of the only people who knows some of the terrible things she ran away from and who she used to be. Her secret is well-kept and she plans to make sure it stays that way. Sienna never expects to be attracted to a patron of her club, but when Carson Graham starts coming to watch her dance every weekend she begins to feel attracted to someone for the first time. Carson is an ex-FBI agent who is not into relationships, but finds himself attracted to the amazing Sienna Flower for reasons he doesn't understand. They begin to explore their intense attraction to one another when Sienna's past starts to come back to haunt her. Sienna and Carson find their situations intertwined in a strange way, and things start to get really complicated and dangerous.
Sienna is a great character. While some of her success is a little implausible, the story of what she overcame and how is very interesting and inspiring. It is great to see her find a support system in her Vegas family and know that there are people who will protect her and encourage her happiness. Carson is a pretty swell character as well. Sexy, and kind. Even during his time of no-strings-attached sex, he is not out to deceive or mislead anyone and specifically avoids situations where someone may be hurt. Watching the way he makes Sienna feel safe to explore her sexual desires and begin to open up to someone was really rewarding. The dialogue was a little choppy at times, but overall the story was intriguing and held my interest throughout. I would read more by this author in the future and will likely continue on with this series.
