Ally Danner’s sister has run away and she fears that she’s inside Club Casablanca, a private men’s club catering to only the extremely powerful. She knows from personal experience that inside the club the women are treated as property and men can use, trade or even include a girl in a poker bet as they see fit. While staking out the club, Ally finds someone else trying to get inside. Sam Sinclair has been working his way into the club for days, but now he finally has his gold key, which gives him complete access to the club. But when Ally turns up in his bed, his plans go to hell as she convinces him to sneak her inside. Now that she’s inside, just how far is Ally willing to go to rescue her sister?
Suzanne also wrote the first Spice novel, and this story has a lot of the same flavor, but is far less explicit that you might expect. Instead she pushes the tension between the characters right to the limit. I really enjoyed the book, though I would have enjoyed seeing more inside the club, along with watching Sam play a game of poker with Ally as the stake. But then again, this is Blaze – not Spice. Guess I’ve got to track down some of her other books. If you’re interested in a story that pushes the limits of what you can do in a Blaze, you definitely have to read this book.

Bottom line: A great book
