Chastity Flame is back and hotter than ever. She’s sworn off meeting her irresistible colleague Damien, but how long can they really stay apart? Fortunately she’s got an international human trafficking ring to crack. When an upscale sex club for women opens in London with great fanfare, Chastity hopes it will prove distracting as well as providing a potential break in the case — until she runs into Damien with a gorgeous woman clinging to his arm. Maybe a broken heart will make it easier to bury herself in work – and kick a few asses.

I was very pleased to find that book two in the Chastity Flame series was to be released. I really enjoyed book one, the humour and its uniqueness.
Lush Situation is no exception to this rule. Chastity is on another adventure, this time investigating human trafficking and prostitution, which brings her to a newly opened club in London. In her own typical kind of way, she gets deeply embroiled in the situation and gets ever closer to finding out what she needs to know in order to bring the network crashing down. Naturally, this kind of work is dangerous and Chastity must be careful, very careful.
Distracting her is the fact she's sworn to stay away from Damien, her colleague. They both got in too deep and know that they can't continue as well as do their jobs - so when Chastity sees Damien with another woman on his arm, it makes her reckless, irritated, and desperate to kick some asses.
Will she crack the trafficking ring? Or has she gotten into trouble one too many times?
I very much enjoyed Lush Situation and found it a great addition to this series. It has the author's signature humour, skilful writing and intriguing plot. More please, Ms. Laity!
