So how did I get myself into this situation, you ask? Simple: desperation. When you’re faced with being homeless and hungry or taking off your clothes for money, the choice is easier than you’d imagine. That doesn’t make it easy, though. Oh no. I hate it, in fact. There’s nothing I’d like more than to quit and never go into another bar again, never hear the techno beat pulsing in my ears again, never feel the lecherous gazes of horny men again.

Then, one day, I meet a man. He’s in my club, front and center. He watches me do my routine, and his gaze is full of hunger. Not the kind of desire I’m used to though. It’s something different. Something hotter, deeper, and more possessive. I know who he is; of course I do. Everyone knows who Dawson Kellor is. He’s People Magazine’s Sexiest Man alive. He’s the hottest actor in Hollywood. He’s the man hand-picked for the role of Rhett Butler in the long-awaited remake of Gone With the Wind.

He’s the kind of man who can have any woman in the entire world with a mere crook of his finger. So what’s he doing looking at me like he has to have me? And how do I resist him when he looks at me with those intoxicating, changeable, quicksilver eyes?

I’m a virgin, and he’s an American icon of male sexuality. I’m a stripper, and he’s a man used to getting anything and everything he wants. And he wants me. I know I should say no, I know he’s the worst kind of player…but what my mind knows, my body and my heart may not.

And then things get complicated.

I must admit I have become the biggest fan of Jasinda Wilders.  With Falling into You and Falling into Us being such gut-wrenching emotional reads, I really didn’t know what to expect with Stripped. I mean what a conundrum?!?! A stripper who is a virgin?!? How can that be?!?! Well let me tell you Grey is such an amazing character. She is such a strong yet vulnerable character that you cant help but fall in love with her and hope for her happily ever after. Growing up so sheltered by her strict southern preacher of a father it is amazing she survives LA alone. She ultimately has to do what ever she can to earn her college degree.  I love the fact that even though she starts stripping for a living she doesn’t become hardened.  I love that she keeps true to herself.  An then we get to meet Dawson Kellor. Holy sex on a stick!! He is so swoon worthy and I instantly loved him! He may be Hollywood’s bad boy but I couldn’t help but fall in love with him.  You get to see his inner demons and understand why he does some of the things he does. He see’s right thru Grey/Gracie’s façade and see the inner beautiful women.  Every girl wants the happily ever after with the famous hottie but Grey fights in every step of the way. This was such a fun book that did evoke a lot of emotion, and it has really hot sex! This is another must read and don’t you want to find out if Grey gives in and gets her happily ever after.
