Karli Logan keeps to herself, quietly going about her business preferring to operate behind the scenes than being center stage. She lives her life as ordinarily as possible but she will not deny herself one of her greatest passions. Ever since she tried on a pair of her grandmother’s gloves, Karli hasn’t looked back. She loves the silk against her skin and delights in the snug fit; gets a sexual and spiritual charge out of them and only truly feels alive when she has them on. She spares no expense in fulfilling her desires but she does so with great caution. The last thing Karli wants is to draw unwanted attention for she has a secret; a painful, tragic secret that Karli can’t stand to face. Yes, Karli Logan is in hiding.

Poised with such elegance and beauty, it wasn’t long before she caught the attention of Zach Fontaine. From the moment they meet, Zach whisks her off her feet. She feels dizzy from his sudden outpouring of affection and before she knows it, she’s spending time in his company. When Zach admits to having watched her from afar, she starts to panic and his inquisitive nature has her fleeing. Not before he kisses her though; a blisteringly hot kiss that has her knees buckling and her heart pounding.

Zach doesn’t want to scare Karli off, not after he’s finally got close but he can sense her trepidation; knows she’s hiding something. He grudgingly lets her go, in the hopes that she felt the bolt of electricity that passed between them as strongly as he did. Karli promises she’ll call but can she bring herself to let him in?

Skin Tight is one of the most erotic books I’ve ever read. It’s wonderfully decadent, packed full of intrigue and a hint of melodrama, truly a delight to read. The characters grabbed my attention and I was mesmerized by Karli as she indulged in her fetish. The description of the gloves, the clothing, music and dancing all added to the vintage feel and I was swept away with it all. The heat between Karli and Zach set me on fire; it was a whirlwind attraction but Zach’s need was completely believable in the rich setting the author created. I was desperate to discover Karli’s secret heartache and equally desperate for Zach to heal her pain. I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest.
