A spangled, American flag thong is the last thing Robyn Flores was expecting to find in what she thought was HER bag of clean laundry. Having a laundry mystery is not what the frazzled elementary school teacher needs when she is already at risk of losing her job for chronic lateness and floundering to accomplish pretty much anything, including being the maid of honor for her best friend's wedding.

Zac Fallon, Captain American lookalike and devastatingly charming, is the owner of the thong and and Robyn's new downstairs neighbor. A world traveler and male stripper, Fallon is blown away by the woman he finds desperately using his clean clothes to clean up a coffee spill.

Despite their immediate attraction and a sort of first dinner date, Fallon shuts down Robyn's further attempts to get to know him. She can't understand why, until she realizes she made a crack about not having trashy male stripper's at her best friend's upcoming bachelorette party. The same bachelorette party Fllon and his fellow strippers show up at.

What follows is a breathtakingly sexy romance where both Robyn and Fallon come to realize that what is on the surface is not the whole story, and that despite their decidedly opposite careers, upbringings, and families, what they have in common is far more than they could have ever dreamed.

So fun, with lots of witty banter but also wonderfully serious moments. I loved the entire story arc and could not put this one down. A perfect next read for those who loved The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory or The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang!

Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced reading copy!

FYI - the audiobook is fantastic! I listened to it for my second read and the two narrators were wonderful and really brought the story alive.
