‘Falling in love …is not to be rushed’ – compassionate advice for seeking success in love
Canadian Author Kimberly Love has been a ghost writer as well as publishing her own books – YOU TASTE LIKE WHISKEY AND SUNSHINE, DIVINE VENGEANCE, and now BARE: LOVE, SEX, AND FINDING YOUR SOULMATE. She is also a radio host – Crushing 40 on Impact Radio USA - a Resilience and Mental Toughness specialist, the CEO of Viking Queens, and an international speaker! A glimpse at her spirit is evident on her website where she states, ‘My goal is to make you feel empowered to not only feel confident but to watch to reach beyond your fears and live a truly magical life.’ Translate that empowerment into creating a successful love life and this book blossoms!
One of the several reasons BARE as a book makes such an impact is the manner in which Kimberly ‘talks’ with us. She writes very well indeed and her advice and structure for healthy relationships is solid, but her book reads like a conversation over coffee – relaxed, factual, personal reflections, and supportive. She describes her current self, that person who has experienced bad aka failed relationships and has grown because of them, as a Viking/warrior/alpha woman – and all the strength those terms imply! She describes the qualities of a warrior woman as ‘She is unapologetically herself, She chooses herself every single day, She lives her life and follows her dreams, She doesn’t wait around for a man, and She doesn’t chase a man.’
So how can her reading women achieve that status? That is the subject matter of this book – ‘I’m here to help you make better choices for your future so that your next relationship is your last relationship.’ Continuing to use her own ‘love history’ shared with candor and authenticity, Kimberly gets specific about kissing, marriage conflicts, healing after unhealthy (read ‘abusive’) relationships, sex (‘Sex is important. Some might even say that sex is crucial to having a healthy and happy relationship’), finding your soulmate, self-sabotage, avoiding ‘red flags’ in dating, dating in a ‘hookup culture’ (‘When it comes to pictures on dating apps, it’s really all you have to judge a person, so we’ve gone back to “judging a book by its cover”) - each topic soundly grounded in Kimberley’s own experiences, making her ‘trial by error’ wisdom credible.
Reading this book is fluid, entertaining, conversational, and valuable, pertinent to young women just knocking on the door of relationship exploration as well as to experienced bruised women searching for recovery and reinforcement from a fellow traveler.

An entertaining look at love, sex and everything in-between.
What a title, and what an author! As the CEO of Viking Queens, and radio host on Crushing 40, impact Radio USA, Kimberly Love daily inspires and coaches listeners to change their lives. That she practices what she preaches is obvious when you read this entertaining and thought-provoking book aptly titled ‘Bare: Love, Sex, and Finding Your Soulmate.’
What makes this book so engaging is that the author has no problem laying bare her own romantic and sex life, on the road to enlightening her readers. Candidly she admits to loving kissing and, well everything about being in love, and demonstrating that love to a partner. However, in with the romance of kissing, and exploring relationships, this no-holds-barred author is equally open about some not so wise choices she has made, and the lessons she has learned. This openness gives the reader a chance to reflect on her words, and really think about their relationships as well. From a ‘having been there and got the tee-shirt’ standpoint she has no reservations about using her own experiences to illustrate the character traits she can only see now she is free of the person, and I feel sure this will be invaluable to some of her readers. I have to say that I’ve never been attracted to ‘bad’ men but have known others who have been, and who also suffered in abusive relationships, and the insights she gave me will definitely make me a more educated listener in future.
I thought that her reinforcement throughout the book that it is okay no to be in a relationship was something I found personally very comforting. Being older than the author, not being in a relationship now, after years of happy marriage is extremely strange. This book came at just the right time for me, as I have been struggling with being alone and after being with a partner since I was 21. The author’s words made me realise that now is the time to discover me, and it’s okay to do so.
I loved her views on soulmates. Don’t despair, if, or when you find yours, it is wonderful. Despite the belief that love dies down as the year’s progress, in my relationship it never did. Personally I found it lovely to read that it’s normal after years of marriage to fancy the pants off your partner! It appears kids aren’t always right, when they say you are too old!
At the beginning of the book the author gives a great list of soundtracks for this book, something which I really enjoyed listening to. I found that reading this book is like having a really good sleepover with your best friend. You know, when you’re sharing a bottle of wine, or two, and the topics starts getting steamy. Your inhibitions go and, you find yourselves giggling about those ex’s, the things they got up to, and what you really thought of them...
If you’re looking for love, fed up with it, just got out of a relationship, or just fancy a really good read, then this is the book for you! Highly recommended.
