Bared by Stacey Kennedy

5.0

This was an excellent book. The connection that Cora and Aidan have is electric! It starts off with a bang too! hothothot! Hints of their past and how Cora feels for Aidan had me emotionally invested right from the start.

I really liked Cora and her sass, she’s so sweet and spunky. How Cora sacrificed her own feelings was touching. Aidan cares for Cora tremendously and wants to understand her. I could see and feel how Aidan felt for Cora – waiting for him to realize it was agonizing (but it a good way). Aidan is dominating, sexy, and compassionate and watching him come to terms with his heartbreaking past was an incredible journey. There were so many emotional moments throughout the book I found myself getting teary eyed on several occasions.

I really enjoyed watching Aidan and Cora connect outside of Club Sin as well. They had some fun, playful times and some lighthearted moments. There is a beautifully written camping scene, so full of sensuality and emotion. Oh my goodness. My heart. They're so sweet and loving. It was a real turning point for them and I could feel it in every word I read. There was another very intense scene in a cemetery and I was so proud of Cora for finally realizing her feelings, opening up, and standing up for herself and being honest with Aidan but my heart was breaking. I'm not sure who I felt more sad for.

This book was incredibly hot. STEAMY HOT. There were some seriously intense scenes and even though the content was BDSM related, it never felt overdone or awkward.

I liked Aidan and Cora’s back stories and learning more about them. I loved the introduction of Porter, he’s a great addition. I like him a lot and am excited that he's getting his own book. I was really glad that Presley and Dimitri were in this story too, they’re great characters. I absolutely loved seeing Kyler (he gets his own book too – yeah!). You could tell that he was holding back on what he wanted to say about Aidan and Cora's situation but when he unleashes, it was freaking fantastic! I was all heck yeah, go Kyler! I enjoy all the friendships and in the book, they seem so genuine and sincere. I liked when the guys hung out on their own too, those were great scenes.

Bared is a hot, emotional journey that captured me. 5 I-was-emotionally-invested stars! It ends just as hot as it starts with an incredible story in between!
