Even after 10 years, Kelli has never recovered from Mitch breaking her heart. She left Mitch and her home behind to live with her father after that devastating night. Her father turned her into a tough as nails bounty hunter. Together they are after a bank robber in the wilds of Garner State Park. When her father is shot, Kelli must learn to work together with Mitch to make it out safe. But will her heart still be safe?
N Kuhn grew up in a small town in Western New York. Having spent her afternoons outside or with a book, she grew up with a love of reading and writing. Her mother and grandmother fully encouraged this in her. Many years later, after a husband and children, she made a promise to her dying grandmother to fulfill her dream of being an author. Her grandmother lived to see N's name in print. This was a turning moment for her. Driven by ambition and a promise made, she has since published several titles including the Mohawk Trilogy, Tucked In, Buffalo Rocker and the Tricks series.
N Kuhn has several other books that will be out later this year. When she's not writing, she is in college for a Business degree, runs her blog, bartends and promotes for other authors. Family and coffee are her two staples in life.
wow! I'm not sure what I was expecting when I bought this book but N. Kuhn outdid herself.The plot was well thought out, detailed, the characters were lovable, ( the good ones lol) or completely despicable. The storyline was fresh and unique, and I loved reading it. I finished in about an hour it was so good
wonderfully written book I have enjoyed this plot and characters the gangster,ranger,and bounty hunter twist was great. I loved the strong heroine that knows what she wants and goes to lengths to protect her heart.
The cover equals me reading the book. Mitch that boy sure knows how to start off a reunion, "Hi Kel. Nice to see you after all these years. You look amazing." I say to her. When she remains silent, I mock a woman's voice. "Oh Mitch, thank you so much for coming to my rescue. What would I ever do without you? You're my hero." Kel though she doesn't take no sh** especially from Mitch, "as suddenly as the kiss happened, she's backing away again. Before I can react, her hand flies up, slapping my across the face. Standing there dumbfounded, I hold my jaw." Also I am learning from books that a man will offer you anything when it's naughty time, Imma thinking I need to try this strategy out, of course I need to find a man first, "I'll buy you a new one. I'll buy you anything you want, just as long as I get you," he murmurs, burying his head between my breasts." I'm hoping Dodge gets a story.
Loved this book! This was a journey of pain, loss, betrayal and rediscovery! Kelli felt betrayed by her true love Mitch, so she ran! Things are not always as they seem and both Mitch and Kelli learn this the hard way. When tragedy and danger bring them back together, will they find their way back to each other? Will they both get a second chance at the love they thought they lost? This was a thrilling adventure and I loved it, definite must read!
This was one book that I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint. I wish that Kelli had used her karate skills more, I was I guess hoping her to be a bit more badass, and she really wasn't. But that's ok, I still enjoyed the book, still truly enjoyed Mitch. Would love a book with Dodge in it. I like meatheads I guess...lol
I liked this book. it was a short, quick read. I liked the storyline, I just kind of wish it was longer. there was so much more I wanted to know. did they get married, pregnant, did she get some one on one time to beat up Cam? why did she stay away if she loved him? I have so many unanswered questions!! gahhhhhh!!! but this really is a hot steamy drama filled little number.
“They bicker like little sisters but have a mean streak that would scare most men.”
“Paul is the little brother who fumbles everything he touches. He’s also done time, but for stupid things, like discharging a gun into his own foot or trying to steal something he couldn’t carry.”
“Before me stands a goddess warrior. Her blonde hair blowing in the breeze, cheeks red from running and a stunning body. But what makes her so gorgeous is the strong willed, kick ass attitude emanating from her. There’s no weak kneed damsel here, waiting for a man to lead the way from danger. She’s right there with her gun in hand.”
My Review:
Going from the book cover and title – I was expecting rodeos and cowboys. I wasn’t expecting a strong, nut crunching, woman bounty hunter – but I like it! I also like the second chance romance, but honestly, who isn’t a sucker for those? And I enjoy having both points of view and hearing the inner musings and memories from both sides. It was a quick, enjoyable, and easy read. Although the book cover sets you up for a steamy read… while the characters often think about and mention sex frequently, there really wasn’t much sex – shucks! Yet it somehow still seemed like a steamy book anyway, as the characters sizzled.
I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.
This is one action packed story. It never stoped or slowed down.
The author begins by setting up the back story when Kelli is 16 and it begins with a very YA vibe. We are quickly moved on to 10 years later where Kelli is a tough chick and a bounty hunter, able to take care of herself.
I enjoyed the comedy of errors that leave her in the woods with Mitch, they guy to broke her heart 10 years prior. The initial chapters are told from Kelli's point of view but the author switches it up and we get the story from Mitch's side as well.
I had a fun time reading this story. Lots of action, just the right amount of love story and steam. I'd recommend Bare Back. It is an entertaining story. This is my first time reading a book by Ms Kuhn and I'll be looking out for more of her work.
This is the first book I have read by this author so I didn't know what to expect, if you are wanting a short, sexy, hot read them give this book a try. Kelli had her heart broken by Mitch so she upped and left and went to live with her father, ten years later she is now a bounty hunter. She is back and trying to track down a convict but it's Kelli and her father that end up being rescued by Mitch. They have to rely on and trust each other to make it out of a state park safely. Mitch was Kelli's true love and vice versa. Will they give their love a second chance? I found this book an enjoyable read, it is well written and moved along quickly to keep the interest level up. I would have liked it to have been longer and while there wasn't any cliff-hanger there was, for me, some questions left unanswered.
This is a review of my own personal opinions of this book. I bought it at the Amazon Kindle Store today and finished it today.
Category: Romance
I had never heard of this author or any of these books until this morning. After seeing a post on Facebook I hopped over to her page and saw the cover. YUMMY is the only words to describe it. So I bought the book thinking okay this is going to be corny or whatnot. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO WRONG IN MY LIFE! This book is awesome. The story follow Kellie and Mitch and their history and future together and let me say that it is packed with action, spice and everything nice. The length I thought would be an issue but the author does an amazing job in getting the plot developed wonderfully. I am definitely going to be getting another one of her books.
I had the pleasure of reading this before anyone else, I must say...I think this is the best by this author yet.
Kelli had her heart broken at a very young age. She picked up and left to be rid of the heart ache... It never went away... Mitchell always remained in her mind...Her First True Love.
While Kelli is on a mission to bring in a convict, she and her father needed a rescuing themselves.... No other than Mitchell himself is there to rescue them...
Kelli was Mitch's one true love also. He hurt just as much as she did when she left.

This is an exciting action romance with a clever back story and a current day adventure. If you like your lead men to be tattooed Alpha ex-Marines and your lead women to be kickass bounty hunters - then this is the perfect book for you. The writing is good; the dialogue is believable and the plot is twisted.
This is a good, quick read. The concept of the story was excellent and was well written. However, I was a little disappointed in the ending. I thought after the whole book, the end should been a big bang and it was just a fizzle.
Bare Back by N Kuhn was a excellent read! I must say if you want a short but good read about a hot guy read this one. I couldn't put it down. Loved every minute of it!
Action filled quick read that kept me turning the pages. I loved the flashbacks in the book helping to explain the mental state and emotion of the characters.
Nice short story. There are a few explicit sex scenes so this may not be for everyone. It is the story of Kelli as a teenager living with her mom on a ranch. She is in love with Mitchell the owners son. They have a falling out and she wants to go live with her father. Forward ten years later. It has Kelli working with her father as bail bondsman. They are in the woods searching for their man who skipped out on his hearing. They finally find him after a week in the woods and they capture him but not before her dad gets shot. She tries to get the bleeding stopped and she goes to the suspect and ties his hands then ties him to a tree. He tells her he is running from the mafia, Gasetti family, and they are after him. She calls in her coordinates to the ranger station and they send a helicopter. She goes to meet them and then realizes that one of the rangers is Mitchell. As they are trying to get to her father two men start firing on them. They get Mitchell in the arm. they keep going and when they get to her father. Dodge, Mitchell's friend and partner calls in the station. they hear a big explosion as the mafia men blow up their copter. They send one but can only take two people, so Dodge goes with Kelli's dad and Mitchell tries to get Kelli out. This is a good short story and it will hold your interest. There is a lot that goes on as Mitchell tries to get Kelli to saftey and avoid the mafia at the same time. a very good read
Will she bare her soul as her past comes back around?
Quick, suspenseful romance about a woman made strong by her past. Lots of ex-military muscle, the mob, and two bounty hunters trying to find their skip before the mob can kill him and send him to live with the fishes. And now a bit about the story...
Kelli and Mitch have grown up together and now both 16 are falling in love, until disaster hits. Mitch is held up by his parents and the girl, Penny, they want him to choose. He asks his brother to let Kelli know he will be late. Unfortunately, his brother is an ass and delivers a totally different message - after beating on her and trying to rape her she gets away just in time to see Mitch kiss Penny. Kelli leaves the ranch that day to start a new stronger life for herself and she is doing great, until 10 years later when Mitch is sent to rescue her.
Favorite passages: - "Girlie, you don't have to tell us what happened, but I'm telling you this. First thing we're doing is getting you karate lessons. No man or boy will ever put his hands on my baby girl again," my father says. - Guns strapped to both great legs, and a shoulder holster, Kel looks like one sexy as sin warrior.

Are you looking for a read on the quicker side with action and the possibility of rekindling a missed opportunity for love? This could be your read. Find out for yourself after 10 years, if Kelli has recovered from Mitch breaking her heart. It’s a short, sweet, and straight to the point read. You will find a flashback that sets the story, bounty hunters, bad guys, and rangers.
The characters are fun and full of heart. N Kuhn nailed the over reactive teenager bit as well as the adult trying to protect a wounded heart. I did expect Kelli to be a little more of a bad ass with all her skills she acquired when she moved away with her father. Mitch was just the right amount of alpha man for the story. And the story was good and definitely would not have complained if there was a longer version too. However, being shorter doesn’t take anything away from this book at all.
I’m looking forward to weaving my way through the ins and outs of N. Kuhn’s writing and books. I was more than happy to add myself to her forever reader list. Give her a try, you won’t be disappointed. On a side note, did anyone else think Dodge should have his own book? Maybe, it’s just me. Enjoy!
Let me start by saying I don't understand the cover or the title for this book. Kelli and her dad are chasing a bank robber in the woods. They are bounty hunters. But the bad guys are also after the man. They have a mini shoot out and her father gets shot. Kelli calls for help. But she had to leave her father and the robber in the woods. Men are coming to help Kelli and her father. One of them she knows from ten years ago, Mitch. Kelli thought they were in love. His brother tried to rape her but she got away. Mitch was supposed to meet her at their place. He never showed up and she went to his house and she saw him with the girl his parents want him to be with. This crushed her and she went to live with her dad. She wrote Mitch letters for a year but he never answered. Kelli is not happy about seeing him again. But they have bad guys coming after them. Mitch is after these guys too. Will they make it out of the forest alive? Who is really after them? What will happen to Mitch and Kelli when it's over?
This was a great story - adventure, romance and sex.
Wow!! I really love this book, it was intense, intriguing, interesting and hot! I read this book in one sitting, it is a very quick read. Very fast paced. I love N’s writing style, it in very unique, but in a good way. I have never read one of the authors book and I will say that I will be reading more of her book. The beginning of the book was really sad in my opinion. It was 10 years prior. Kelli had went through something that was horrible. She was in love with Mitch, but his brother Cameron had done something so horrible to Kelli it made her run away to live with her father. Ten years has pass and she now works with her father as a bounty hunter. A tragedy happens and she is thrown back together with Mitch. What happens when they are face to face? This book is also action pack. I don’t want to say much about the book, but I do want to say that this book is definitely a must read , I didn’t want the book to end. Great Job N!!!
Enjoyed this story from start to finish (although a tad short), the story was well written I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. This book is action packed, emotional and so much more. It has pain, loss, hurt and love. Love the cover!..holy hotness...lol..Great characters Kelli and Mitch and so perfect for each other, after being apart for ten years tragedy brings them back together. Sigh... loved these two together, I just wish we knew where are they now, what was next for them. The book just kinda ended there but I will say it has suspense which I love and sexy too and very quick and sexy read. Another great story by N Kuhn. 4-4.5 stars review by Nanee at upallnightreadallday.blogspot.com
I was immediately sucked into the plot by the shocking beginning. I was able to get a good feel for the characters and well their character right away which made them believable, realistic, and relatable. You become emotionally tied to them right away. Without giving away to many details I must say I love a good second chance romance. The reunion so to speak was unexpected and not under the best circumstances for the characters. There is a good amount of sexual tension build up before the explosive love scene. There is danger and excitement along with a few twists and turns in the plot. I would recommend this book. You won't be able to put it down
HOLY HOT HELL!!! First of all I just absolutely love this author!! N. Khun knows what to bring to the table and how to please her readers! It took me a little time to get past that sexy man's body to actually start the book!....Guess what the cover is so damn HOT, I just had to keep checking to make sure it was still there..lol! One page turning of a book, well written! HOT!! Heartbreak! HOT! Romance! HOT! Thriller! HOT! Twist and turns! HOT!! Grab you by the seat of your britches kind of read! N. Kuhn has been one of my all times fav authors for awhile now! Holy HELL THE COVER IS HOT!!! ..... Okay...so you get the point! Buy your copy today! 5 HOT star read!
This was a fairly quick read for me and one I enjoyed.
The beginning suggested a long lost love being reunited with someone she left behind. But it was so much more than that.
I like a love story to have a good storyline, not just good sex scenes! This book went above and beyond that by including much more than a simple love story.
The author has written a story with so much action in it. By that I don't mean sex action by the way! I mean actual action scenes.
I don't want to go into the storyline as I don't believe in giving spoilers. Suffice to say that this was an enjoyable read which I would recommend.
This was the first book by N. Kuhn that I have had a chance to read and it wont be my last! I was hooked from the start. Its very fast paced and full of action and steam. Even though Kelli thinks that Mitch betrayed her the chemistry between them is undeniable. I really like both of the characters. Mitch cracks me up. He's a definite catch. Kelli is super bad ass. I love that she can take care of herself and isn't a damsel in distress. If you like an action filled and super sexy read then this one is for you!
** I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads. **
This was a quick Alpha male, badass chick, sexy read. I was hooked on the story line from chapter one. The chemistry between the main characters is undeniable. Extremely fast action paced. This is my first N. Kuhn book and it won't be my last!
