Review Source: Blog Tour
Owning a strip club isn’t the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police regularly on his case, twenty-nine year old Cain is starting to second guess his unspoken mission to save the women he employs. And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict “no sleeping with the staff” rule. But being around Charlie challenges Cain’s self-control…and it’s been a long time since any woman has done that.
Twenty-two-year old Charlie Rourke needs a lot of money, really fast, in order to vanish before it’s too late. Taking her clothes off for men makes her stomach curl but Charlie tells herself that at least she’s putting her acting and dancing skills to good use. And though her fellow dancers seem eager to nab their sexy, sophisticated, and genuinely caring boss, she’s not interested. After all, Charlie Rourke doesn’t really exist—and the girl pretending to be her doesn’t need to complicate her life with romance.
Unfortunately, Charlie soon discovers that developing feelings for Cain is inevitable, that those feelings may not be unrequited—but losing him when he finds out what she’s involved with will be more painful than any other sentence awaiting her.
In Ten Tiny Breaths we meet Cain, the strip club owner that takes pride at helping out his employees. We learned he had a troubled past and no one knew about it… until now. In Four Seconds to Lose we learn why he likes to help the girls that works for him. It is such a heartbreaking story. I couldn’t believe how wicked his parents were. I was shocked to learn about his sister. Most of all, I was stunned to learn the twist of the story – YOU GOT ME!
I’ve learned to love the characters of this series. I can connect with them at a realistic level and learn from them. I love how Tucker describes these characters and she makes you feel like you personally know them. I loved how Cain and Charlie come together in such tragic events.
Cain is such a gentleman; he is kind and very honest. I love how he always has this “serious” face but in reality he is such a sweetheart. I love him. None the less, my favorite character is Charlie. With such life - I know I would be broken and weak. Charlie is totally the opposite. She is strong, in control but most of all she is very humble. I truly enjoyed reading her character. Put these together and yes, they make the best couple of the series, in my opinion.
If you are looking for romance book, this is the one to read. It can be read as a standalone but truly the other books are worth reading. I love how you learn to know these characters.

I cannot wait to read this! K.A. Tucker had me at Ten Tiny Breaths, and I know this book will not disappoint at all. Cain seems like such a genuine person, and he seems to the person you can turn to for anything. I'm excited to read about Cain & his past & how he came to own the strip club? That'll be interesting if that's in there. I also can't wait to read about his relationship with Charlie :)
