by Diane Kelly

Death, Taxes, and Hot-Pink Leg Warmers from A Tara Holloway Novel series

Diane Kelly

It's bad enough that Tara has to go on trial against the mortgage-frauding Tennis Racketeers who cheated banks and homeowners out of millions in between doubles matches. Now she has to go undercover--in a strip club--to strip the sleazeball owner of his indeed illegal livelihood. At least she's working as a bookkeeper, not a pole dancer. And who needs tips when her undercover crush, Special Agent Nick, is the club's bodyguard?

With so many hot bodies on display, Tara agrees to join her boss, Lu the Lobo Lobozinski, in her daily workouts at the Y. Lu's on a health kick after recovering from cancer, and she's pulled her leotards, tights, and hot-pink leg warmers out of mothballs. Which is okay with Tara. If she hopes to put Mr. Geils behind bars, grab the tennis boys by the balls, and lock lips with the unsuspecting Nick, she needs to be in the best shape of her life...

Well, I'm not sure about then ending, but the rest of this book is excellent! Great characters, snappy dialogue and excellent story lines.

I enjoy the way the author goes between two or more story lines in these books, each story lines is a nice break from the other and it keeps things interesting. The main plot line was intense, so the secondary plot offered a breather and I enjoyed reading about the individual agencies working together.

The sexual tension between Nick and Tara is excellent and the author does an excellent job with the writing - enough to be steamy, not *so* much as to be veering into erotic writing.

This has been a strong series from the beginning and I'm looking forward to the next book, which luckily is only a couple of months away.
