Publisher's Summary

Only I would put a fully clothed man on the cover of a male stripper novel. Why? 'Cause I'm a rebel. And because this book is about so much more than a guy shedding his clothes. It's a love story. A hot love story that includes redemption, second chances, finding your voice, and fighting for what you believe in. Fighting for who you believe in. Oh, and male strippers. Did I mention that? ;)

Blurb:

"I may have had more lovers than you, and I may take my clothes off for countless women, but you are the only one who can strip me bare."

Do you ever stop loving someone just because they're gone? Five years ago, Ryan Pierce disappeared from Alana Remington's life without a trace. He was the one she gave her heart to, her soul to - and her virginity to. So, imagine her surprise when she finds him dancing at one of NYC's hottest male revues as "Jack the Stripper".

Ryan never stopped loving Alana, and now that she has serendipitously dropped back into his life, he's vowed never to lose her again. But being together has its costs, and challenges Alana isn't sure she can handle. She finally has Ryan back. But how in the world is she supposed to share the love of her life with half of the women in New York City?

Strip Me Bare is a second-chance standalone romance. It contains angst, heat, humor, heartbreak, and one seductive male stripper who will not only have you handing over your panties, but also your heart. You've been warned.

I really thought I knew what to expect with this book but this one was different, it didn't have the OMG twist I've grown to expect from this author. I stayed up all night finishing this audiobook. The characters were very honest and emotional and their story was beautiful and sweet with some tragic circumstances to boot. The connection between them was so palpable and the sex was extremely hot. I really enjoyed this book and have leaned that this author doesn't have a specific "type" of story which I love and can't wait for more of her audiobooks in the future. I always love a book that I didn't see coming. Brooke Bloomingdale does a great job narrating this book alone. I may have even liked her Ryan voice more than her Alana voice and when a narrator can voice a character of the opposite sex this good you know she is talented! Listened: 12/6/17

REALLY.. REALLY.. REEEEALY GOOD

I got this book purely on the strength of Moto which absolutely blew me away and I didn’t think Ms Never could do it again.. well I was wrong wrong wrong. Not only is this a multi-layered beautiful second chance love story, you also feel the sexual chemistry, intense loyalty and in-harmony dynamics between the two very likeable characters. Added to that there’s sexy times, romance, family conflict, tense twists, heartache, smiles and good secondary characters.

It was a compelling sweet and emotional listen that had me riveted to its unfolding storyline way waaay into the early hours of the morning.. totally gripped, utterly glued and unashamedly gleeful. And, as we all know, it’s the narration that brings the characters and the stories to life.. making or ultimately ruin them - well Brooke Bloomingdale absolutely rocked it.. and her voice of the hero was 5 star perfection. This delicious second chance love story was told from the heroine’s POV and it didn’t have the usual (and, IMO, sometime a wee bit frustrating) ‘then’ and ‘now’ or ‘past’ and ‘present’ chapters which was refreshing.

Worth a credit? Well that’s an easy one... an unshakable and undeniable YES.

M.Never, never disappoints.

M.Never hit this book out of the park. It's not like any of her other books, but this achingly beautiful and twisted love story is like nothing I have ever read. The absolute literary brilliance she delivered is unbelievable. Five stars don't even come close.

varied

mixed feelings here. HAD to listen to this because the first book was so amazing. glad they had their HEA. .....however..... spoilers!! he was a stripper, fine. eventually opened a new strip club where he was on the stage. fine. at the first club though, he was rubbin' and grinding and feeling on the customers, that was disturbing. especially the part behind the glass bead door openings. cheating. seemed like if he actually loved her so much he wouldn't want such contact with random women. just bothered me. the way the second club was set up was much better. loved the book?? no, not really. would recommend? no, but had to hear the conclusion to the 1st book. peace

Had to stop at chapter 5

I am such a fan of this author but I couldn’t get through chapter 5- too fast and in my opinion too unbelievable following a five year break/disappearance off the face of the earth... and “money, girls, sex” the dozens claimed... how can he still so nonchalantly say he loves her... and that reason he went mia only explained 3 1/2 years- he loved her so much though- through the 1 1/2 years of sticking it to dozens of other women... and he never sought her out- she happened upon him.. I will just stop here 🛑

Loved the different type of plot line!

I think this one (2nd of the duet) was even better than the 1st. I liked all the excitement of this part of the story, the scenes of Ryan stripping, and the other parts with his family were very heartfelt! Loved the narration!!! I wish the first book was done with the way the mothers accent is in this book. I think she did a better job of the Jersey accent. I know Jacob Morgan can do that accent too I think there must of been miscommunication before recording maybe? But thats so minor! I really did like this duet!!!

Amazing Narration and story!!!

Before you listen to this, you absolutely must listen to the first book, Stripped from you, by M. Never. I have listened to some great romance series but this was awesome. If you know Jacob Morgan, from the first book then you know the story was told with so much emotion and passion. But Brooke Bloomingdale did a superb job with the male narration as well as with the Alana character in Strip me Bare. She is an awesome narrator and I had to finish this series in one day!!! I loved listening to Ryan's initial infatuation grow to love for Alana in the first book. This 2nd book is filled with just as much passion and excellent narration. Every time I listen to these romance stories I am sometimes blown away. There were times I thought Ryan was conflicted and selfish but once you listen you'll feel and understand his emotions too. No spoilers, just listen to both books. Highly recommended and excellent writing by the author M. Never. Thanks for a great series. 👍👍👍

This book....

First audible book I listened to. I watch floribama shore and saw this book promoted. Thought I would give it a try. Even thought it took me about a month to complete, I have to say, it most definitely kept my interest. Amazing author as I felt like I could see every “scene” that was described. I felt like I was their and like anybody know, an amazing author makes it seem as so. Like any romance novel must have its ups and downs , this one had plenty; that is for sure! I have recommended this book to my family and friends. Can’t say I wasn’t imagining it was the writer and I during the whole reading.....

Pretty good but...

I enjoyed the story and Brooke Bloomingdale really brought it to life. The only thing I would change is that I wish we could’ve gotten this story told from both characters like we did from book one (finally on audible). I feel like it would’ve made the story more intense! But overall pretty good!

No. Just No.

The only redeeming quality of this story is narration by Brooke Bloomingdale. Otherwise, you have a twenty something privileged white girl whining throughout. Too many crude sex scenes. Not enough of a plot to warrant 8 hours. I like M. Never's other stories because they were interesting, but this one just didn't muster any at all. I would like to know why so many romance writers seem to think there's no actual romance for anyone over the age of 30. Seriously. I try to stay away from any plot with characters under the age of 30 so when I chose this one, I didn't realize they were in their 20's. Maybe that's why there's no substance to the story. When you have a 23 yr old girl saying her life has been ruined by some guy leaving her 5 yrs previously - which would have made her 18- then I have to just say no. Ridiculous.
