When the Lights Go Down by Heidi Betts (SD 1686)

Gwen wakes up on her 31st birthday and decides to change her life: starting with her image and losing her virginity.  She's been a quiet reserved librarian sitting at home for years… she decides to go out clubbing.  She meets the bar owner, Ethan, when he pulls her away from a sketchy man.  He takes her home, and she asks for a birthday present: him.  Then she leaves in the middle of the night.  He's incredibly frustrated to find her gone and be unable to go after her, because he knew so little about who she was.  When he eventually finds her, he wants to wrangle her back into his bed, he's become obsessed with her and he's starting to wonder if it might be love.  She's afraid if he gets to know the real her he'll be bored with her, so she tries to be the bed-hopper he expects. 

It's charming how disappointed Ethan is to find her gone and putting distance between them.  This was a good read, I liked reading Ethan's story, it was fun to see him FALL and leap into a real relationship with the heroine.  They made a cute couple, especially at the end when they managed to blend his "club" lifestyle with her "bookworm" lifestyle. 

Rating: 4/5 stars, an enjoyable read.  This was a sequel to "Blame it on the Blackout" by Heidi Betts as well.  Both were great.
