Stripped Back
A sizzling friends-to-lovers romance featuring a wealthy businessman whose expectations of love are so high, he’d rather engage in meaningless one-night stands than believe something better exists for him, and a down on her luck heroine who is running from past traumas and current life of misery.
A self-confessed party boy. A broken girl with no name. Forty-eight hours that change everything.
Brody –
When I travelled out of town on business, the last thing I expected was to stumble across something I couldn’t walk away from. In one of those twist of fate – sliding doors moments, I made a split-second decision that was set to change everything.
Back in New York with no way of contacting the beautiful girl with the sad eyes, I know I should forget about her and move on. The problem is, I can’t seem to get her out of my mind.
I left her with my number and the promise of help to start a new life.
She left me with a lasting impression and desperately hoping she would make that call.
Her –
I swore I’d never rely on anyone but myself again. It was my mess and I was determined to get myself out of it. But when fate came knocking and I saw my chance to run, I took it.
I wasn’t prepared. But there was no way I was going back.
There was only one way out. Make the call, the call that could change my life.
I just hope he really is the man I believe him to be, otherwise I could be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Such a raw and emotional story of surviving some of the worst things that life can throw at you, and managing to come out stronger on the other side. I loved Meadow and Brody's relationship, why can't every man be as caring and head over heels in love the way Brody is with his girl??!!

Wow! I have just finished Stripped Back and im so shocked at how underhyped this book is! I read this within 24 hours because I simply couldn't put it down and was absolutely hooked from page 1. Its giving pretty woman vibes along with a heartbreaking story of the FMCs past. And wealthy businessman MMC Brody - yeah I need one of those please! The way he takes care of her and the patience this man has is just everything.
There are some heavy topics covered in the book so please check the TW and decide for yourself if this is something you want to read. In my opinion, I feel the topics were covered well and with empathy but please make your own mind up before reading ahead
I loved everything about this book, the characters, the plot, the spice 🥵 and most importantly the closure we (and the FMC) gets at the end.
Yes there were a couple of grammar mistakes but I honestly didnt care. That's how much i enjoyed it!
I know from chatting with the author that this book is some of her early work and thats shes super proud of her upcoming book as it showcases how far she has come as a writer and im here for it 🙌
Can't wait to read the next one 😊

I had a feeling this would be a good one after reading the first book, and wow—Stripped Back really delivered! The author has seriously stepped it up. The story pulled me in right away, and I couldn’t stop reading. It’s emotional, gripping, and full of lovable characters. Can’t wait to see where the next book takes us!

Stripped Back is the kind of book that leaves your heart pounding 💓 and your mind drifting long after the last chapter. Highly recommended for anyone who loves romance with depth, danger, and the courage to heal 🥰

Aww this book 😭 I felt all the feels! Brody was just *chef’s kiss*. The FMC has been through it… but she’s not weak or whiney! Really loved this, it was an easy ready that I didn’t want to put down.

DNF’d. I think my new hate trope is: billionaire’s falling for strippers. This was far toooo slow and annoying for me.

Love love loved this story!
I knew I'd love this book based on ace of hearts but it exceeded my expectations! Had me hanging onto every chapter. Another beautifully written story that again had me in tears of sadness & happiness! An unexpected new character but I can't wait to dive into the third book when released!
