**I received a copy of Stripped from Kensington Book and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review**
Stripped by Zoey Castile is the first book in the authors Happy Endings series. Ms. Castile is a new author to me and I'm hoping we'll find out how Lily and her soon to be husband. This was a cute, sexy read and who wouldn't like a book with a male stripper who has a husky puppy named Yaz and a 5th grade teacher?
Robyn Flores is having one of those weeks where nothing goes right and she's constantly late for students. Plus she's having trouble adjusting to her BFF getting married after all shouldn't she be happy that she's the maid of honor? But when her laundry gets mixed up with her neighbor in 6-A the entire day just goes to south quickly. Now if she can get to school without Principal "Platypus" finding out she's late again. When Zac asks her out on a date she decides that there may be a spark there even though he's only going to be there for 4 more weeks.
Zac Fallon is happy with his job as a stripper plus the money is dang good but when they begin to date it will take all of his moves to convince Robyn that he's her soul mate. But when her best friend's bachelorette party is at his club will he be able to dance in front of her friends? He'll have to find a thief among the club staff, convince Robyn's principal that his advances toward her aren't welcome and also come to grips with his family when his sister suddenly show up.
Loved the book and all of the drama plus I can't wait to read the next one. I give Stripped 4.8 stars and recommend reading it.

I really wanted to like this book. A stripper with a heart of gold. A teacher who has given up on her dreams and become a bit of a walking disaster. The whole mixed up laundry bag had meet cute gold written all over it. But from that very first meeting, this book just didn’t work for me. Neither one of these characters felt real. They were flat and uninteresting. Her fall from Uber organized to late all the time just felt like such a cliche. He’s been stripping for 10 years because it’s easy money and doesn’t require much from him. Is that an existence?
Maybe I’m just on a judgy mood. But this didn’t work for me on any level.

Bad book book club strikes again and this book was … bad. But also hilarious and illogical in so many ways. A fifth grade teacher falling in love with her stripper neighbor in NYC? What more could you ask for! If you’re looking for a silly fun romance novel, this would not be my recommendation. I didn’t feel very invested in the characters nor was the romantic aspect much fun. But I did like the New York references and love the teacher representation.

This was my first stripper romance! So entertaining, it kept me from white-knuckling during the long plane ride on our recent trip to the UK. Robin and Fallon meet over a laundry mixup involving a star-spangled thong, and the flirty fun that follows is just what you’d expect from a meet cute like that. I wasn’t expecting, however, the conflicts that arise between them. I assumed her family wouldn’t be cool with his career, or she would be jealous of his clients, but Castile takes the story in a different direction and I loved that. There’s nothing formulaic about it. You’ll forget you’re reading a book about a male stripper and a teacher and just be sucked into the story of two people who genuinely like each other trying to reconcile their differences and make things work. And audio is a great choice here if you’re too shy to flash that ab-licious cover around in public, but also because the voice actors are perfectly cast and really bring the chemistry.
