A proper bank employee climbing the career ladder, Shasta Brooks fantasizes about sexy computer consultant, Dane Wingate, every time he's in the bank...and even when he isn't. Much to her dismay, he hasn't asked her out even though he openly flirts. Then her friends throw her a well-intentioned thirtieth birthday party and hire the hottest male stripper in Seattle to help her celebrate. There's no mistaking the man behind the mask. Dane's secret is safe with Shasta, but now that she knows, she's ready for a private performance.
 

SRR GRADE:  B+
 

Bank teller, Shasta Brooks is interested in her customer Dane Wingate. When at her surprise birthday the Macho Marauder shows up as the entertainment she immediately recognizes him. After the guest leave Dane returns to explain why he is the Macho Marauder and ends up staying the weekend. Will they make it as a couple when Monday morning dawns?

Often when reading a book for a review I’m presented with an interesting premise and while the story is good, it doesn’t just live up to my expectations. Unexpected Encounter is just such a book. While there is nothing horrible about it, there just isn’t much that propels it into the category of earning an “A”, for me.  The sex is hot, the plot is handled very well.  Both Shasta and Dane are well defined and have sufficient complexity to make the book something I enjoyed and would recommend.
