Kitty Bradshaw is facing eviction from her apartment; if she doesn’t pay her rent her landlord will kick her out. So, when her best friend, Sandra, asks her do a birthday strip-o-gram for a guy at work, for which she will be paid, she agrees. After all, it’s not that different to what she did in college, though admittedly that was children’s parties with a different ‘uniform’ involved entirely. It helps that the strip-o-gram is part of her friends plan to show the louse up for what he is; a man who is flouting company policy of no inter-employee relationships, for which he had Sandra put on probation and the other employee she was seeing fired. Anyway, she’ll be wearing a mask and no one will recognise her, since she doesn’t work at the company. Only when she turns up to do the strip-o-gram, she comes face to face with the man she got to know intimately at Sandra’s office Christmas party. How could her instincts have been so off-course about him? Or were they?

Nathan Guillaume was stunned when a woman came into his office, proclaiming herself to be his birthday present from a co-worker – then proceeded to strip, sing and dance for him. No longer a teenager, it’s been years since he got an instant hard-on, but this is the second time in recent months. The first time was at his office Christmas party, before he messed things up. Now, with his entire office watching, he gets one to rival the first – especially when she starts in with the private moves only he can see. But there’s something niggling at the back of his mind. She seems familiar, somehow. Will he remember before she leaves his life again?

Strip-O-Gram is the story of two people who tried to get it on when first they met at an office Christmas party, but due to a lack of necessary precautions, went their separate ways without even exchanging names, let alone a means of contacting one another, with uncompleted business between them – something they both always regretted, each not having been able to get the other off their mind.

Strip-O-Gram has been beautifully crafted by Ms Marvel. The characters engage in rather risky intimate activities, tending to be so into each other they end up in places where their intimate acts risk exposure by someone finding them in a very compromising position. Strip-O-Gram is a really enjoyable story about two people who unknowingly fell for each other when first they met but did not fully seize the opportunity presented to them, and have now been presented with a another chance to get their act together – and get together. This is one I suggest you try out, definitely one to add to your light summer reading pile.
