Kiss your powers goodbye.
Kidnapping a super-powered suspected felon from a Vegas bachelor party is another day at the office for Jenny Ray, alias Temptress. With one kiss, any naughty supe’s powers are hers. Except this time she’s caught by her mark’s boss, who’s no ordinary superhero.
It’s Thinktank, leader of the toughest hero crew around. One destroyed men’s room and near-toilet-drowning later, Jenny’s forced to steal an innocent hero’s powers.
For a super brain, Tank’s feeling pretty idiotic. First, he let Jenny close enough to get to him. Second, he’s helpless against the tide of desire that rises in him every time he kisses her. Which he’s doing a lot, since she’s trying to give him back his power—only it’s not working. As he shadows her on her various freelance casino security jobs, he realizes she’s no she-demon—she’s a time bomb. Her acquired powers are shredding her, body and soul.
As they give in to desire, a shadowy figure from Jenny’s past surfaces with a kidnapping plan of his own. Jenny will do anything—even level Las Vegas—to rescue the man she loves. But there may not be anything left of her when the dust settles.

Lola Dodge has gotten my attention…now I have a super hero addiction. I need to read more….
But all of Ms. Dodge’s hero’s aren't so super, they’re flawed…painfully so. Jenny Ray aka Temptress can steal another Super’s powers with just one kiss. But it seems taking other folks powers is starting to wear on her…literally. On a night on when a job goes wrong, Temptress takes Thinktank’s (a heroes Hero) powers by mistake and the kicker is…for whatever reason couldn’t give them back.
Oh boy is she up shits creek without the paddle….
Holy fucking sexy bat drawers! I just really loved this story. There was kick ass action, funny jokes and a sexy romance between a not so hero and a “hero” hero. Temptress and Thinktank are on the same planet, but are worlds apart. Jenny Ray (that's her real name) is not a bad person....she’s assisting the police in the capture of Villains & Heroes and as a side gig, she also helping the casino’s in Vegas.
I got a lady boner for Temptress…
"Ding!"
Thinktank was a alpha male worthy of the read. He was the saneness to Temptress's crazy, even without his powers, his heat level was off the charts.
Oh...Daddy!
Lola Dodge’s world is cleverly written and there is just enough humor and tensionable (I know it’s not a word…lols) sexy times to keep the reader reading. This series is about the Manhattan Ten….Thinktanks gang of Heroes, but underneath the layers…we get also the stories of the women who will bring these sexy Heroes to their knees.
I say bring it on Ms. Dodge because I’m hooked!
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
