Only I would put a fully clothed man on the cover of a male stripper novel. Why? ‘Cause I’m a rebel. And because this book is about so much more than a guy shedding his clothes. It’s a love story. A HOT love story that includes redemption, second chances, finding your voice, and fighting for what you believe in. Fighting for WHO you believe in. Oh, and male strippers. Did I mention that? ;)Blurb- 😉

“I may have had more lovers than you, and I may take my clothes off for countless women, but you are the only one who can strip me bare.”
Do you ever stop loving someone just because they’re gone?
Five years ago, Ryan Pierce disappeared from Alana Remington’s life without a trace. He was the one she gave her heart to, her soul to — and her virginity to. So, imagine her surprise when she finds him dancing at one of NYC’s hottest male revues as ‘Jack the Stripper.’
Ryan never stopped loving Alana, and now that she has serendipitously dropped back into his life, he’s vowed never to lose her again. But being together has its costs, and challenges Alana isn’t sure she can handle. She finally has Ryan back. But how in the world is she supposed to share the love of her life with half of the women in New York City?
Strip Me Bare is a second chance, standalone romance. It contains angst, heat, humor, heartbreak, and one seductive male stripper who will not only have you handing over your panties, but also your heart.
You’ve been warned.

The cover got me; the words kept me! Another great read from M Never!
Life is all about choices. Right, Wrong, Good or Bad. It’s a choice.
Some of us make terrible decisions that effect our entire lives.
Some make devastating decisions that try to put our lives back together.
The one part of life that isn’t a choice…love. It will strip you bare.
This book was a fun and sweet story of love and choices. Some wrong, others right but all of them altered lives permanently.
Here’s hoping you choose well.
Wow! I couldn’t put this book down…
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Alana Remington has been trying to get over Ryan Pierce for five years. He just disappeared one day from her life. No reason, not contact, no nothing. She had given her heart to him right along with her virginity the night before. Imagine her shock when she finds him in one of NYC’s hottest male revues as “Jack The Stripper”. Also a huge surprise is that Ryan never stopped loving Alana. He has vowed that now that he has found her he is never letting her out of his life again. Alana though is not sure she can handle the cost and challenges that it would bring into her life to let Ryan back in. How is the world is she ever suppose to share the love of her life with half the women in New York City?
Oh my goodness M. Never never disappoints. I don’t care if she is freaking me out while on the edge of my seat or melting my heart with a second chance romance like Strip Me Bare. I so loved both these character and totally got all the reservations Alana has about Ryan. I am sure I would be equally shocked if someone walked out of my life and I found them grinding on my best friend at her bachlorette party. Both Alana and Ryan also come from equally as crappy homes. They both have thing they need to overcome and boy oh boy was I no fan of Alana’s dad or Ryan’s brother. This book is filled with angst, humor and some serious heat. Your kindle might actually melt a time or two. It is also a beautiful story of first loves and how we never really get over them. How sometimes fate just has different plans for your life and you just have to go with the flow and be thankful for the blessing.
Once again M. Never has written a book that so has to be read. I loved every second and I am sure all of you will too. Don’t miss Strip Me Bare.
*Review for audible version* Like the title, that’s what this story does to you. Its strips you bare and about tears your heart out from beginning to end. I thought the first book in this duet did me in but the second book tops that for sure. So much pain, heartbreak, and inner struggle. These two are battling their emotions because of the way they have lived their lives. The sacrifices that have been made and the challenges they have endured. Its truly almost too much. It’s written in a way that makes you grasp every emotion. And it has phenomenal steam between these two. I mean really panty melting stuff here. Amazing narration! Just listen because you won’t regret a second of it!
HOT HOT HOT
I love this book. The prequel was excellent in getting you ready for this book. You will laugh, cry, want to kill a certain brother and mother, but in the end it is all worth it. Ryan and Alana are made for each other. You will enjoy this book.
Don’t let the cutie on the cover fool you! Holy crap! Oh. My. God. Just Holy Crap!! This book will just blow you away! The author did a fantastic job at showing real raw emotion in this story. I’ve gotta admit, I cried… like a big ugly cry and I laughed and then I needed some alone time with my b.o.b. and I needed some extra batteries. Yea- it was that HOT!
At the same time I feel like a high school girl. My heart was broken and then put back together again with the incredible HEA. I can’t spoil it for you, I just can’t but it’s totally worth the amazing journey with Ryan and Alana. The author used so much detail and descriptions with everything that I could totally imagine myself there with Alana and I could see myself being her friend. I highly recommend everyone get a copy of this fantastic book and then we can girl talk about Ryan! Get your copy now!!
Looking for a second chance romance that will have you grabbing the tissues for moments throughout the book, this story is for you. We’re given a realistic storyline that has you feeling these characters deep down and wanting to be by their side as they fight and push their way through life and fight for what they want and deserve. Not all families are the same and this story goes to show you just that. Strip me bare is the perfect title for this book in more ways then one and I highly recommend adding to your TBR list.
Woah a rollercoaster! Alana and Ryan meet again… it was like a blast from the past…
Many secret and lies.. and itd very hard to see when someone you love is also another person name Jack the Stripper..
This is a story of second chances romance.. everyone has their own demon.. secret and shame to bury.. how can these couple survive? Only they know…
Its sexy and panty melting relationship..helloooo its not a safe romance… i love the challenge and perks 🙂
That’s what this book will do to ya!!. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉 nobody writes hot sexy , panty melting alphas like M. Here she creates Ryan Pierce out of her imaginative mind . He’s hot AF , he’s smoulderingly sexy and he can mooooooove baby! . Gyrating, dry humping ladies to make them scream and shriek. Yeah cause he’s the hottest stripper at Culture , an upscale club in Manhattan. In walks in Alana Remington, a prim and poised Law student who was his dream once.
Dreams shatter and life gets trampled
Time to rekindle fire from the dead embers.
She’s leading a dismal , dry life, no love , no moral support , just a Daddy who’s there as a Letterhead figure
I saw black and white for so long that I didn’t recognize pigment even when it was splashed right in front of me. The first time I saw a rainbow since my mother’s death was when I met Ryan.
But time travels in one direction and lost time never gets recovered, sadly!
The story is full of thermonuclear passion and deep running emotions. M brings out the feelings big guns to situate a heart in the overtly sexual profession of stripping . Trust & Loyalty would be the last thing you’d expect in this world since it’s overflowing with horny , crazed women whipped into a frenzy by undulating almost naked , perfect bodied , sexy men.
She writes imperfect people in imperfect world and still we fall in love with them perfectly.
“the pauper doesn’t end up with the princess, he ends up on his ass.”
Maybe ….but then that story wasn’t written by our M , was it 🙂

Stripped Me Bare-
I FLOVED this book!
I did not even realize I was hugging a throw pillow the whole time I was reading this juicy goodness!
What a rollercoaster ride of emotions, beyond words.The sizzling hotness,mixed with heartbraking drama that laced itself through the pages of this frustrating second chance romance between Ryan and Alana – OH my. I could not take my eyes off the pages!
One I will not soon forget.
If you have not checked this book out, I think you should!
This book grabbed my attention right from the start but it held my heart to the end! It was funny, sweet, emotional and so very hot and sexy! The prologue had me so intrigued, I wanted to find out more. It begins with Alana Remington going with her cousin and best friend to a male dance club for a bachelorette party. Alana seems to have it all, privileged upbringing, starting law school in fall, and her own beautiful apartment in the city. But the one thing she yearns for is the love of her life, Ryan Pierce, who disappeared without a trace 5 years earlier. When he turns up on stage as ‘Jack The Stripper’, her world is turned upside down. Ryan has secrets that he has kept from Alana. But now that he has found her again, he will stop at nothing to keep her. Ryan & Alana work hard to resolve their issues and make compromises in their lives to be together. But there are those who work to keep them apart and it might be for good this time. This refreshing and updated forbidden romance is a true gem. Alana and Ryan are both strong, caring, and loyal. They are so perfect together and their chemistry is explosive. This story is also filled with intriguing secondary characters, supportive, & adversarial, that make it feel genuine and honest. There are a few twists and turns that kept me engaged and anxious to see what happens next. I highly recommend this emotional, sweet & sexy romance!
This was a new and interesting story line for me. It was a second chance with a stripper for a main character, but the way it was written it was fresh and exciting. I really enjoyed reading about these characters and their relationship. It was a full length novel that is bursting with emotions.
M. Never is a great writer that will hook you from the very first page. This story starts out the story of Alana and Ryan with an introduction (or a teaser) of the middle of their story. We are then transported to the chance meeting where they are reintroduced to each other in the most delectable of ways.
I really enjoyed Ryan (and a bit more than I liked Alana). He was a man who knew what he wanted and did what he thought was best to save the woman he loved. The story was written in such a way, that as a reader, I felt involved in the story and the characters’ lives. I have highlighted my copy so many times it almost looks like a zebra. As with all of M. Nevers’s stories there are so many swoon moments that I was just a melted softy at the end of this book.
Alana was in love with Ryan and he suddenly disappeared from her life. She gets an amazing surprise when she’s at hen’s night and the stripper Jack the Stripper in none other than Ryan.
When Ryan disappear without a word he left Alana with insecurities that even though he tells her that he wants her back she isn’t sure if she can work though them.
Alana realises that even though Ryan is using stripping to make a future to start his business, that it’s the same reason why she can’t let her father know who she is dating, particularly when she finds out her father was the reason Ryan disappeared from her for so long.
When history repeats itself, both, Alana and Ryan can’t believe it, and Alana realises that she has to fight for the man she loves if she wants a future with him.
Gyrating hips and pulsing music, and that’s just the beginning of what you get in M. Never’s Strip Me Bare. This second chance love story contains a stripper and a law student, you just know sparks are about to fly.
Alana Remington gave away her heart, her soul, and her virginity to the boy she loved, only to have him disappear on her. Five years later she runs into him again. Imagine her surprise when she discovers that Jack the stripper, is the boy who ruined her for all others.
Ryan Pierce left Alana behind years ago, but he never stopped loving her. Now that she’s back in his life he’s not letting her go again. They both carry secrets that could prove too hard to handle, but love conquers all, right? But does it conquer the female population of NYC whom Ryan shares his assets with night after night?
First off, I was hooked and ready to read when I saw that Ryan was a stripper. With the hero having that type of profession I just knew that things were going to be HOT! But he was more than that. He had depth to his character, he wasn’t just some good-looking hunk who had some moves. Although he sure did have some moves. The things he did for those he loved made him a man that I would fall in love with regardless of what he did for a living. But he is a stripper and I strongly support his decision…I would gladly attend one of his shows. Shut up, I don’t care that he is fictional, write me another stripping scene with Ryan and I am there. I’ll be first in line with a hand full of dollars.
Now for Alana. Poor girl has her heart ripped out by the one person she thought she could trust. I can understand why it was hard for her to trust another man after that, especially Ryan. She needed to come around a little faster though, it wasn’t as if he was the only one with a secret. I was ecstatic when they finally got together and decided their love was worth it.
M. Never has acquired a forever fan in me with her brilliant writing. The mixture of humor and heartbreak was perfect. Can’t wait to pick up what’s next. FOUR stars!!!
I really enjoyed Strip Me Bare by M. Never. It is a very sexy, hot, second-chance romance novel that had me hooked after I read the first chapter. I felt badly for the female lead, Alana, who had not seen or heard from her first love, Ryan after she had given her virginity to him the night before. Alana runs into Ryan again in New York City in a male strip club called Culture where she, her cousin Emily, and Emily’s friends are attending a bachelorette party for Emily five years later. Emily is up on the stage with a stripper dancing in front of her, enjoying herself until she recognizes who the stripper is and then so does Alana. Alana runs out of the club through the back door unable to breathe because the stripper is Ryan. Ryan runs after Alana because he can’t believe that she’s at the club and he’s seeing her again after five years time. Alana is extremely angry with Ryan which he understands, but he somehow talks her into meeting him for coffee the next day so that he can explain to her what happened, where he’s been for the last five years, why he hasn’t contacted her and to explain that he still loves her. Alana meets Ryan for coffee but will he be able to have a good reason for why he left Alana five years before they see each other again? Will Alana believe that Ryan still loves her?
M. Never has written such wonderful characters and a wonderful story. This book made me cry several times but made me very happy most of the time; it’s a great book that I really enjoyed and recommend!
This second chance romance took me by surprise. I fully expected a steamy read and I got that, but there is so much more to Ryan and Alana’s story. M. Never certainly knows how to pack on the feels and she does it quite masterfully. I got so frustrated with Alana’s constant submission to her father’s orders, no matter how far out there they were, but at the same time, my heart broke for her situation. The chemistry between this pair was almost palpable and through it all, you can’t help but root for their happy ending. While the pace does get a bit slow at times, the writing is compelling and I was sufficiently drawn in that it didn’t bother me. So, when you see the title and cover, do not dismiss this as just another stripper romance. Strip me Bare is a packed full of emotions, tug at the heartstrings journey of two people who will fight and claw their way to each other, going through the fire to emerge victorious as they discover who and what they want to be… Together.
Romance lovers, the feels in this book are going to take you on the ride of your life!
Hope and disappointment, hurt and anger, surprise, forgiveness, desperation, love and acceptance and tons of sexy fun. The list could go on, but I think you get the point.
Ryan hurt Alana, she wasn’t quick to forgive, she was methodical and made him earn her trust again. When Ryan was in trouble you could feel the desperation rolling off of Alana to stand by him and help. You could feel her (Alana) anger with her father, you could taste his (Ryan) despair over his brother. I loved these characters, not just the MCs, but the entire cast of side characters as well. The story was extremely well told and it was so believable, this could be your family, these could be your friends. There wasn’t a single contrived thing about this story.
M. Never fans, prepared to be wowed!
