What if Pride & Prejudice took place in a burlesque club complete with sexy playing cards and nipple tassels?

Vanessa King took this idea and ran with it in her newest novel, A Certain Appeal. Complete with a brooding main man, a strip tease centering around a single glove, and twins spinning on silks hanging from the ceiling, this book has it all.

The expert of all things romance, Sierra Marshall, joins me today for this purring conversation. 
 

In this episode we cover: 

• What a sex print is


• Why Sierra and I are always drawn to main romantic interests who are tall, dark, sexy, and brooding


• How taking off a glove can be so damn sexy

Grab a drink, open the book, and press play on a podcast that will leave you Googling all of the dance tutorials from Burlesque.
