Strip Me Bare by M. Never, Marissa Carmel

3.0

This book grabbed my attention right from the start but it held my heart to the end! It was funny, sweet, emotional and so very hot and sexy! The prologue had me so intrigued, I wanted to find out more. It begins with Alana Remington going with her cousin and best friend to a male dance club for a bachelorette party. Alana seems to have it all, privileged upbringing, starting law school in fall, and her own beautiful apartment in the city. But the one thing she yearns for is the love of her life, Ryan Pierce, who disappeared without a trace 5 years earlier. When he turns up on stage as 'Jack The Stripper', her world is turned upside down. Ryan has secrets that he has kept from Alana. But now that he has found her again, he will stop at nothing to keep her. Ryan & Alana work hard to resolve their issues and make compromises in their lives to be together. But there are those who work to keep them apart and it might be for good this time. This refreshing and updated forbidden romance is a true gem. Alana and Ryan are both strong, caring, and loyal. They are so perfect together and their chemistry is explosive. This story is also filled with intriguing secondary characters, supportive, & adversarial, that make it feel genuine and honest. There are a few twists and turns that kept me engaged and anxious to see what happens next. I highly recommend this emotional, sweet & sexy romance!
