This book was just ok - I've read Emma Holly's books before and enjoyed them. This one seems to rely on hot sex scenes more than an actually cohesive plot. The "mystery" part of it was easily figured out very quickly. Having a slow moment - throw in a hot sex scene!

I read a little more than half of this book before getting bored and putting it down. The plot, what there was of it, consists of a woman who owns a diner called "All U Can Eat" (did Prince name this?) who is jilted by her lover and proceeds to soothe her ego by sleeping with a whole bunch of men. After one romp she finds a dead body in the alleyway near her diner. The chief of police arrives and, wouldn't you know it, he's always had a crush on the sexy diner owner but stomps down his lust when she turns out to be one of the suspects. Who killed this strange woman and why should I care? I'll never know because I'm not going to finish it. The reviews keep calling it "toe curling" and "delicious" but I must've missed something because I found it repetitive, forgettable and tamed down when compared to Strange Attractions. There's just no pleasing me, I guess.

Contemporary and in no way supernatural. But if you have read other Emma Holly's novels, you find the same characters she works and re-works in all her books. This is a very erotic story, with a murder mystery, too. I just hated the ex-boyfriend, glad she was rid of him. Wished he had made it on the hit list,too. Not, one of her best. My favorite is Menage and the first two Demon World novels. Personal Assets isn't bad,Stange Attractions was good, too.

Very graphic- contains bisexual scenes. Lite on the plot, heavy on the sex. Charcters not all that likeable.

Last book I read by Ms. Holly was Strange Attractions.....that was one hot book. This book is also very steamy, but has great characters you can't help but like and a story as well. Excellent book, took me 2days to finish. Looking forward to more by her. She does not disappoint.
