Oh what a deliciously hot and sexy second chance romance full of lies, secrets, angst and smoking hot chemistry between Johnny and Sammy. Loved everything about this couple and was hooked right from page 1 to the very last page. Thank you Chelle and Eden for another amazing read. Can't wait to see what you give us next!!!

If you're looking for a second chance romance to read this summer. That is engrossing, hot, full of lies, guilt and great Italian characters, then you should definitely check out Stripped Down. The last in Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler's Nailed Down series and the one that features the mysterious bad boy Johnny Carelli and the good catholic girl Sammy Nicola. Whose heart he broke and virtue, he stole ten years ago.
As Stripped Down was angsty, fast paced, sexy and fantastic to read. And the two lead characters Johnny and Sammy were perfect. Because they have so much chemistry and history. And I was really hooked in, so much so I couldn't put this story down; and even though this is the end of the series I really hope it's not the end of Chelle and Eden collaborating.
Would thoroughly recommend.

Woah... Alright, so where to begin? This book was intense, with twists and turns, and heat that was damn near melting my kindle. I love Chelle... She knows how to write a hot, all-consuming romance that sucks you in from the start, so you add in Eden who just adds to all this awesomeness, and you have the perfect duo.
This romance is kind of an opposites attract star crossed lovers romance a man named Johnny... God, I loved Johnny. He was ruthless and came into to this swinging. He has a past and it's far from perfect, he's trying to make amends, while he has his own forgiving to do. I was intrigued with him from the started and I couldn't help but fall smitten to this man. All his imperfection and his crazy self.
Sammy was his opposite, she tried to come across was perfect and clean and naive in a sense... I liked this character, I think she was perfect in every sense of the world, but I did want to give her a kick or 6 throughout the book and once you read it, I am sure you will understand. But in saying that, as the book progress so did she, and so did Johnny and reading these two was highly addictive, I honestly couldn't put the book down and when I had to, I whined and craved to pick it back up.
These two were hot, they had an insane connection and I just soaked it up from the start... And when it came to the end of the book? I was devastated, I wanted more of these two. I need more!
It's a MUST READ... Like I mean go and grab your copy now and read NOW. You'll be hooked from the first chapter just like I was.

Good book, my first from both authors, maybe I should’ve started with the first in the series but I don’t feel like I missed out on a lot either so

This is an anticipated book in the series about Johnny Carrilli. The heroine is Samantha (Sammy) and it’s an interesting take on second chance romances. Johnny brutally distanced himself from Sammy years ago because his world is dangerous. Sammy felt betrayed. This is the story of Johnny deciding to pursue Sammy and it’s a fun sexy story. Their story is complicated and it’s done in a very well written way. They really deserved their HEA. I really enjoyed this series.

Stripped Down is a beautifully broken romance. The tale of Sammy, the girl that Johnny can never be with, but wants more than anything on earth. A true story of second chances and pursuing your heart, no matter what your head says. Johnny is the bad boy that no parent wants around their daughter, but the more you get to know his character, you fall a little bit more for his charm.

Johnny Carelli has decided that he wants to change the past. Samantha “Sammy” Nicola is not going to change her mind about a past transgression. I have to say that I got a little confused at the beginning of this one. Sammy was set on a certain path. I thought she’d achieved her goal but as I see her interactions with Johnny it had me wondering if I missed something – maybe I misunderstood. I had to let that go because otherwise I would have become fixated on that one thing. That would have skewed my thinking for the rest of the story.
For Johnny being a “mafia” guy he was awfully sweet – at least when it came to Sammy. He was sex and sin personified. He was also temptation when it came to Sammy. Once I got into the story, I liked where the authors were taking me. I have to say that of the three in the series I’ve read this one is at the bottom. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the story but my confusion at the beginning slowed it down for me until my mind caught up to where our couple was going. Even the ending was sweet – even tough men can turn a corner when they have the right woman in their life.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
