Me cuesta admitir que anoche, después de pelear conmigo misma y mi sentido comun, termine las 20 paginas que me faltaban. Y realmente, no cambie mucho de opinión.
Hay algo en este libro que no me gusta y simplemente el hecho de que todo pasa muy rápido y a pesar de ser un libro muy bueno y con una buena trama, la autora no lo desarrollo bien. Y cuando por fin, el libro parecía ir por un buen camino con un poco de drama ¡boom! ¡se acabo!
Es obvio que la autora no sabe mucho de Londres. Porque sinceramente, ¿quien conduciría una range rover en londres? nadie. Puede que yo no sea una experta ni que viva en Londres pero parece que la autora conoce tanto de Londres como yo, osea, nada.
Y si me preguntaran: ¿Porque solo dos estrellas? Yo diría que Ethan Blackstone y el intento de trama merecen una estrella.

Ethan Blackstone is the kind of man women fantasize about. Strong, alpha, possessive, and obsessed all at once. He works in security. He fell in love with Brynne the second he saw her picture, and took a job to protect her out of instinct, not necessity.
Brynne is a beautiful, charismatic, and damaged women. She carries a lot of pain from her past and Ethan is both patient and insistent when it comes to her. She needs time to trust him, yet because of the way he is, he doesn't quite give it to her. Their instincts are constantly warring, yet underneath it all is an undeniable attraction that Brynne can't deny.
The book ends on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to find out if Ethan or Brynne's demons will win in the end.
Save for the prologue, it is written from Brynne's POV. The half star deduction was because it ended abruptly with no questions answered, and I would've preferred at least some of the secrets being uncovered.

I finished it ~ only because it was an audiobook and I was too lazy to turn it off. I think the fact that it ended on a (completely copied from FSoG) cliffhanger and I had no interest in the next portion was a good indicator of how little it holds my interest.
If you haven’t read Fifty Shades or Grey or the Crossfire series ~ you might enjoy this more. However, there were a LOT of the same elements/plot points/angst “issues”. Granted the writing skill is superior to FSoG (though that’s not much of a benchmark). It was nice that the MC’s had actual tangible employment and Ethan was protective, but not to the level of creepy/stalker of Christian. The nightmares (though given to Brynne) felt lifted from Crossfire.
It just felt like too much like a piecemeal from other popular series.
Audiobook note: The cover says Shane East and Grace Grant are narrators. East only does a 2min prologue from Ethan’s POV and the rest is completely from Brynne’s (Grant) POV. I like Grant as a narrator, however, she can’t seem to stick to British accents consistently here. I’m no expert on the UK, but I feel I know enough to know that she also seemed to be mixing different dialects when she wasn’t completely dropping to American English. I wish they’d found someone more skilled in the accents as it definitely detracted from the story.

A love story on speed, it moved too fast, and for me, totally skipped over the actual falling in love part of the story. I hate that feeling of missing out on what everyone else sees. All these rave reviews, and here I am with a lost look on my face, going "that's it?"

While Brynn is studying overseas, her past tries to haunt her. Enter: Ethan Blackstone- the security specialist, retired special forces, sexy as sin man who makes her forget, even if for a short time. Their relationship develops and Brynne is head over heels. Will her past stay where it belongs? Will it ruin her and Ethan?
I am going to binge this series. Book 1 is fairly short but the information packed into this is insane! The amazing twist at the end has me running to grab Book 2. Great character building, the subplot that I am hopeful will turn into an amazing ending, everything about this book is a work of art.

I'll admit I was not really into this book when I started. So I left it sitting for about a month at 46% and came back. I was pulled in faster the second attempt. This book has a lot of potential. And I really enjoyed the characters. So I'm going to keep reading this series. I feel that I need to know more about Ethan and Brynne. They have a a sizzling chemistry and they both are fantastic characters.

3.8 stars for Naked. A very good and fast-paced read. The story was compelling and I really want to know what happens next to Brynne and Ethan's relationship.
At times I felt a bit frustrated that Ethan was falling in love with Brynne faster than she with Ethan. I would have liked to have seen more character development for Ethan and Brynne but considering that this is a novella with less than 120 pages, maybe I'm asking too much.
The writing is effective but I would advise for better editing next time. I found some rather obvious typos that I was surprised were even included.
Overall, a steamy and likable story and I look forward to reading the next novella.
