FINAL DECISION: I really enjoyed this one with opposites attract. The story was tense with the stalker on the loose, but it also increased the tension between these two as they are stuck together. I loved Mae and Ziggy!
THE STORY: Mae Cooper, plus-sized model, ends up with a bodyguard when she receives a threatening package from a stalker. Ziggy Thayer considers himself a consummate professional until he finds that Mae shatters his non-plussed demeanor.
OPINION: I adored Mae. Sometimes reading one character's thoughts can be too much, but I loved the quirky way she thought and how positive she was about her curvy self. Because we are reading Mae's thoughts, it is a little difficult to get to know Ziggy, but his actions are clear. But I ended up absolutely loving the quiet steady man. They are a great match with the differences in their personalities.
The story is a sexy little treat. The pacing of the story worked really well. The characters get to spend a condensed amount of time together because of the stalker threat and so there is definite heat between these two. The sex scene was romantic and sexy and really funny. I thought it was a perfect culmination of these two.
As a fan of the Stage Dive series, I love the chance to get to reacquaint myself with some favorites while getting to meet those around them.
I also really loved that we get to see the Stage Dive crew with some updates on everyone and, of course, I loved seeing Mal.
WORTH MENTIONING: This is a novella and it is told from Mae's point of view in the first person.
CONNECTED BOOKS: CLOSER is book 4.6 of the Stage Dive series. Although appearances are made by characters in the Stage Dive series, the romance here is self-contained and it is not necessary to have read any other book in the series. This book operates as a standalone.
STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.

About the author
I loved the chemistry between Ziggy and Mae
Mae is at a loss when she receives a package that was hand delivered to her apartment building that contains, well lets just say it's not something you can order on Amazon and leave it at that. Thankfully she lives in the same building as some of the Stage Dive families and she is friends with Lena who right away calls Sam so he can get security on her because she isn't going to let some crazy stalker get close to Mae if she has anything to say about it. I loved the chemistry between Ziggy and Mae, which you feel as soon as they lay eyes on one another. Mae is a beautiful woman, hence why she is a model but she does have her insecurities especially after her ex publicly humiliated her, but I seriously loved the way she handles him..lets just say he definitely got what was coming to him. Okay, lets get back to Ziggy and Mae who definitely try to keep things as professional as possible and in all honesty that probably adds to the sexual tension that surrounds them. This was not only a great addition to the Stage Dive Series but also to the 1,001 Dark Nights Series as well. This book can be read as a standalone and is written with the intention of giving lovers of the Stage Dive Series a bonus read on a couple we may not have had otherwise, while the 1,001 Dark Nights Series gives us a peek into different authors worlds and hopefully entices you enough to fall in love, and I really think Ziggy and Mae will do just that. Welcome to the crazy wonderful world of Stage Dive I hope you love them as much as I do. Happy Reading!!!
