Not what i expected and that's always great for me when the book takes a different turn from what i expect it to go, I really liked Peyton's character she's strong, Stubborn but very independent, Liam's character was hot and all alpha male (my kind of man), The story was so well written and it feel like Pawnie's been writing a very long time i read this all in one sitting as i couldn't put it down, I will be recommending this book to my friends, I can't wait to see where book 2 goes as i know i will be so good. Thank you Pawnie loved it.

I was gifted a copy of Bare With Me from the author in exchange for an honest review.
4.5 stars !!!
Peyton, a stubborn but successful event planner, does not want all the drama that a man brings; shes content with the way her life is and doesn't want some guy coming in and complicating things for her. That is until she bumps into Liam, who doesn’t know it yet, but has the power to turn her drab gray existence into a life worth living again. She wants to let go of everything and just enjoy, live in the moment, and let go of the control that she desperately needs in her life. But Peyton has a past, and shes scared it'll come back to haunt not only her, but Liam.
Liam is a straight-forward, gorgeous hunk...I think I'm drooling a little bit. When he purposely bumps into Peyton, hes convinced that this is it for him and that hes owned by her. Liam soon learns about the demons in Peytons past, and instead of running away, he only wants to run too her and protect her.
The chemistry between the two is sooooo hott... and there's no doubt that the moment the two meet that something more is there and soon the passion and intimacy is rolling off the pages. Literally melt your panties HOT!
Wanting to forget it ALL... Peyton does not want Liam involved in her drama. Just as Peyton thought she could have a normal life and normal relationship, in an instant her past has caught up with her...wanting revenge... This person will not stop until they get what they once had back in their hands.
Bare With Me is written in a dual POV. I would love to get to know a little more about Liam. We know he is a true gentleman and it shows his mother raised him right. We know his mother died of cervical cancer, but he never really talked about it. I also LOVE Peyton's friends Kennedy and Max. I love that they can tell each other anything and not judge the other and the banter between them is comical. I could totally be friends with them.
The sex scenes are hot and steamy and UGH! Just so beautifully done. I wanted to say that this is your typical story. Blah, blah, blah, but Pawnie reeled me in from the beginning and I could not put this book down. It is a must read!!!!! Sometimes reading a new authors work is scary because you don't know what to expect, but let me tell you that Pawnie is meant to be an Author.
I know you will love Bare With Me. So when it comes out, out the kids to bed...grab that glass of wine and enjoy. But beware it's a total cliffhanger and you're going to be left with wanting more.
I also hope that Kennedys story is told...I think it would be amazing to get inside her head..at what she really is thinking when she goes on these blind dates..maybes she scared of commitment? Scared because of what happened to Peyton?

“Okay, so… now where were we? I believe you made a certain promise to take me to the high heavens tonight… or something along those lines?”
He laughs and I smile shyly.
“I’ll make sure you get there so you can join the rest of the angels, babe.” Um, swoon!!!

So, the other day I was looking through some groups, honestly can't remember which one it was (lame excuse, I should be thanking them) and I run into a new book that was going to be released today, Nov. 7th. So as a the book junkie I am, I searched for the author and this upcoming book, and it caught my attention. Long story short, I got to participate in the promotion, and received an ARC to review.
Let's just say, this book was AWESOME! I loved it. The book tell us the story of Peyton, an amazing woman, stubborn, with a bit of an OCD (BS, she's a complete control freak!), strong headed, independent. A very down to earth woman. My kind of woman! And as you can expect, we have the male character that is going to make her lose all that control, and yes, he's a total Hottie! Liam Powers, tall, amazing body, and a bit powerful. What I loved about Liam, is that he is an ALPHA in disguise! I'll admit, i'm obsessed with our Alpha Men, Cavemen, or however you chose to call them; but Liam here, oh he's good. He doesn't force her, he just talks to her, really smooth, until he gets what he wants. I love that about him.
But, as any good book there's got to be something or someone (iugh) that won't let them be happy. So, here's where the bad man shows his ugly face.
But, hey, I won't tell too much. What I'm going to say is this.
In my opinion, Author Pawnie Santana did an amazing job, describing the characters, situations. I laughed when I read the interactions between Peyton, and her two BF, Max and Ken. The three of them, are amazing. It made me think of the relationships I have with my girls and sister.
And she did one hell of a job, showing Liam's POV, and the relationship he has with Aiden and Colt, his best friends.
Another thing it was great, is that she didn't held back the "Past" as if it was some kind of poison that was going to ruin everything. And that makes the relationship between Liam and Peyton much more healthy!
Now, when you get to know the "bad man" (Him) and the past, you're going to feel a bit scared, and in that point of the story, all of your momma's advices about not talking with strangers, are going to come rushing back to your head!
I'm not going to spoil my review revealing to much info about the book, because I hate when that's done to me.
But for me, #BareWithMe is definitely a #MustRead
Pawnie, you did one hell of a job writing this book, and I can't wait to read the next one...

5 Stars!
I was given this book to read in turn for an honest review!!!
Peyton and Liam are happy living the single life, neither looking for love. One chance encounter and the attraction these two share is electric, both plaguing each others every thought. Peyton’s past comes back to haunt her, the depth of her past is more than Liam and Peyton could have ever have imagined.
Falling in love was far from Peyton and Liam’s mind. Liam knows without any doubt that Peyton is the woman for him. Will Peyton’s past haunt their every move? Is Peyton’s life now at risk?
I absolutely loved this book! Peyton is a strong, independent, and stubborn woman with a great sense of humour, I loved her character. Peyton’s friends are just as loveable, I would love to spend a day with these girls, I have no doubt a whole bunch of memorable moments would be made. Liam is a bit of a playboy but with a charm, he isn’t afraid to show the feelings he has for Peyton. This story is full of passion; some scenes will have you melting. I never expected the storyline that I uncovered, I devoured this book in a day and Pawnie Santana leaves you hanging! That’s right a cliff hanger and what a cliff hanger! I can’t wait for book #2 so please get writing Pawnie Santana I need my Liam and Peyton fix!!!
If you love romance, suspense and mystery you will love this book!

First off I'm a guy and I have never read a book like this. My wife wanted me to read it so I did and I was pleasantly surprised. What I mean by a "book like this" is reading sex on paper. I've never done it. Let me tell you, the sex scenes are intense, vulgar and just plain fun. I really enjoyed reading those parts. It was exciting. The next best thing is the witty, funny remarks throughout the book. I found myself laughing quite often! I liked how the author makes you feel like your interacting with someone in real life; no formal jibber jabber. What is spoken person to person and in soliloquy feels like what a normal person would say and do. Also the author is very descriptive and does a great job at making you feel like you're right there in the book with the characters; seeing and doing as they do. What I didn't expect in this book is the feeling of suspense and really wanting to know what was going to happen. I enjoyed my time reading this book. It's an easy read and I definitely recommend it!! Can't wait to see what the next book in the series reveals!!

Pawnie weaves a beautiful love story that is shrouded in mystery, fear and heartbreak.
As we learn about Peyton's past and how she is very still fearful of falling in love, we see how she tries to overcome that fear when the amazing stud named Liam comes into the picture.
Liam manages to swoon your heart and turn your brains into mush with his words and smile. And though I'm not much of a fan of 'falling head over heels' stories, Pawnie really did an amazing job and I fell in love with these characters and their story.
Even the supporting characters, Max, Ken and Aiden (who is mine, btw) were amazing as well. True friendship there, I tell ya.
And I loved this story so that's why I'll forgive Pawnie for that ending. Also, thanks Pawnie for getting me out of my reading slump which I was in for the last four months! Could not put this book down at all!
So overall, great job. Loved the way it was written, and hands down, 5 stars!

Event planner Peyton is a success in business but her love life has had a less than stellar rating. But when she meets Liam, the brother of the bride for a wedding she is co-ordinating, she is unaware of just how much he will change her life.
I enjoyed how Peyton is strong and is not a victim. She has fought hard for control of her life and also has some wonderful girlfriends whom I loved! They could easily be your girlfriends!
Liam is gorgeous, sexy as hell and is a man who never thought he would fall in love…but he does when he runs into Peyton.
I loved the chemistry between these two and believe me, when I say it is HOT!!!!
The story also deals with a very serious subject, as the past that Peyton has tried so hard to get away from, returns!!! EEEKKK!
The ending of the book was a cliffhanger of note which makes you want to read more from this author and I for one, cannot wait!

3.75*
Peyton was a successful wedding/events planner, her life was in order and just the way she liked it! she wasn't looking for love and a tempestuous past scared her from reaching out for it when it ran into her...literally! Liam is a big hunk of manliness and the more he learns of our leading lady and the demons that nip at her heels, the more he's drawn to her! Initially, the chatty and slightly informal tone of writing in the first chapter put me off a little, but i read on...and boy I'm glad I did, this is a gem with on hell of a back story! Santana has created a character that i genuinely begun to feel for, she's funny and sweet and adorable all at once. I cant wait to see what she comes up with next! Get your one click on! 3.75 stars! just because of the chattiness and I'm English!

You must be looking for a new author to add to your one click list, which is why you stumbled upon - Pawnie Santana's Bare With Me. This book has two things I absolutely love in my characters, a bold fearless heroine and a swoony gentleman.
Bare With Me is a spellbinding sexy story that will have you aching for more. It is a story with angst, wit and humor that will have you glued to your kindle. Peyton and Liam have off the charts chemistry.
Watch out for that cliff-hanger, it's a nail-biter! No worries, BOOK 2 is already here Bare To You.

I started this book one night not knowing what to expect. It was clear, 2 hours later (when I said I would only read for 30 min), that this is a great book. I had a hard time putting the book down. It is well written, witty, and suspenseful. I can't wait for the next one to come out!
January 26, 2015
I really enjoyed this one!
It's fun, romantic, sexy, action packed brilliance!
Fantastic characters, great storyline, intriguing cliffhanger...everything a girl could ask for in a book!
Definitely getting number 2!

Bare with me is well written and well thought out. The chemistry between Liam and Peyton is hot. The sex scenes hotter. The storyline though..... What's going to happen? Tick tock on the next book. You can't leave us hanging.

Four stars!!
I really liked this story. The interactions between all the friends was great! Also, the way Liam is protective and loving towards Peyton, makes me want to swoon. Lastly, the sex scenes are sensual and hot.

Great story
Great story but wasn't expecting such a cliffhanger. The storyline is strong and intriguing. It keeps your interest. Liam is strong, sexy, fun, and romantic. Peyton is confident, independent, stubborn, fun, but she seems dense when trying to figure out "Him" and his motives. After what she's been through and seen because of "Him" I would expect her to know and understand what he wants. But it didn't really take away from the story for me, just notable. Would love to read the next part and find out what happens. Will definitely be a great second book!
