Stripped

Title: Stripped

Author: Zoey Castile

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: (from Goodreads) The day Robyn Flores meets Zac Fallon is one of those days. You know, when you’re already late for work. Mostly because you haven’t really slept since your best friend abandoned you for her fiancé and her exponentially better life. The kind of day you drag yourself to the cleaners to pick up your laundry, only to discover you’ve got the wrong bag—Star Spangled sequined thong, anyone? So Robyn is definitely not ready for the ridiculously gorgeous guy at her front door, except that they have each other’s clothes. But then, is any woman ever ready to meet the love of her life?

There’s just one problem: Zac Fallon is not the love of Robyn’s life. Zac knows, despite the
all-too-intimate dinner they share, he doesn’t have a shot at her. Because the next time Zac sees Robyn, he’s front and center of the male revue headlining her best friend’s bachelorette party. So much for wooing the pretty schoolteacher, much less impressing her old-fashioned family, with his upstanding lifestyle. Now he’s only got one way to win his dream girl. It’s gonna be the steamiest, most irresistible seduction she’s ever seen. And this time it will be no act …

Review: Stripped was the best book I’ve read this year so far. It was full of heart, steam, and character. The leads were real and relatable. The storyline was too. It wasn’t overdramatized or unacceptable. It felt natural and just GOOD to read.

Zoey Castile writes two remarkable lead characters that you want to cheer for through the duration of the text. You want them to find themselves, their passions. As you read, you want them to find their way to each other.

Robyn and Zac are funny, sweet, and supportive of each other as friends, lovers, and partners, which make this HEA novel a fun and engaging read. loved everything about it. I definitely recommend it.
