At twenty Kylie never imagined her life as it is.
She finds herself alone with a baby, abandoned by her husband without any answers.
When their daughter, Emma is 5 months old Brad simply doesn't come home. Leaving Kylie with a mountain of debt she is forced to look for a job, but as a high school drop-out her choices are limited.
A year later still working at a job that makes her feel dirty every night Kylie feels a connection with a stranger. A businessman that for some reason she can't take her eyes off of. Running into him again the next day at her waitressing job, he tries to ask her out, but she knows she doesn't belong in his perfect world.
The problem is Evan can't seem to get the sexy stripper out of his mind. He looks at her and knows she doesn't belong there. Something about her makes him feel alive. Kylie makes him want things that he felt he would never have. If only that stubborn woman would just let him take her out just once. He knew he could make her want the same things…he’s sure of it.
Their paths continue to cross at every turn when he is finally able to persuade her to take a chance on him.
After finally agreeing to a date they both can feel the undeniable attraction, but when her past comes knocking and his trust issues leave him running, it could ruin them before they are ever really given a chance.
Can they overcome her past and his controlling parents? Can the life Evan so desperately wants survive the train wreck of their past when they continue to drive them apart?

Stripped is an amazing book. It truly portrays how hard it can be for a single mother at times. Kylie may hate what she had to do, but she did it to take care of her child. I loved witnessing how strong Kylie was, yet so vulnerable. She has been through hell and back yet still manages to remain kind and nurturing.
When Evan enters her world, you can immediately tell its going to be flipped upside down and back up again. Evan is an amazing character…ladies get ready to swoon. He takes on things that some men wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole. He dealt with her past and his also. He wouldn’t let anyone disrespect her, no matter who they were to him. That is something all of us women can hope our men will do for us.
There are a few characters that even though you want to hate, you eventually start rooting for them to succeed also. Brad is definitely one of those characters. I despised him, loved him, despised him some more but all in all I secretly wanted him to do better. Then there are the characters that all good books have…the ones you love to hate. And yes this one definitely has one of those; Evil, manipulative and oh such a witch (for all of those who don’t mind switch that w out for a b)!
I fell absolutely in love with this book over and over again while reading it. I completely recommend it as a great read and personally will probably read it again. I don’t know if there will be, but I can hope that there will be another one after this! I absolutely adored this book.
I'm glad you enjoyed the book. It was a fun red.
