Stripped From You by Marissa Carmel

4.0

My soul HURTS for Ryan. This was well-written -- the pain and trauma he had to go through his entire life had my heart in knots. When Alana entered his life, she was bright light that shone in his dark. This ended with them reuniting after shit went south and Ryan's life went off in a completely different direction. I am IMMEDIATELY READING THE NEXT BOOK.

Adored this on audiobook. Jacob Morgan's narration was EVERYTHING - I could feel every single emotion viscerally. The next book takes place in Alana's POV (assumedly) and Brooke Bloomingdale's the narrator. We got to listen to her do the epilogue in this book and she's pretty good! Excited to start the next one!

(I also noticed that [b:Strip Me Bare|18001430|Strip Me Bare (Strip You, #2)|Marissa Carmel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1395672739l/18001430._SY75_.jpg|25262306] was actually released first, and Stripped From You was published after as a prequel. I read this first, and I actually think it might be better this way! My empathy and heart's completely with Ryan. We didn't get to see Alana's POV throughout this book (sans the epilogue), so the sequel should be pretty interesting.
