While this story has plenty of heat and absolutely fabulous sex scenes, I felt it could have had more depth. Frankie Love created wonderful characters that she could have done so much with that it almost seems like the reader is only getting half of the story. What was there was very good, I was just left wanting more.
4 steamy, deliciously sexy and fun stars
Holy hotness! That was one sexy and charged with unbelievable chemistry read. I loved alpha possessiveness of the hero and his golden heart. He was instantly ready not only to help with the renovation…
Even if short this book is written in a way that I could quickly connect with both main characters and be ready for their story which was humorous, funny, sometimes even hilarious. With the use of words that were mostly innuendos to steamy moments charged with sexual energy that was almost palpable. Very entertaining read.
4 – 4.25 stars
When these authors get together the reader is in for a treat however this book is not one of my favorites. Eli was coerced by his sister to help out her friend Karis when she was left in the lurch by an ex who made a mess of her store renovation. From the first moment Eli meets Karis, he is immediately smitten and what follows is a quick build to a romance between the two. The writing style is the saving grace of the storyline which flows nicely although I would have liked more character depth and drama packed in along with extending the length.

Settle yourself down and know that you’re going to end up enjoying this fun and , sometimes, filthy latest story from C.M. Seabrook and Frankie Love. Now this is the first in the new series, Hammers and Veils Book , by them that I’m looking forward to reading very much. Better make sure that your fan /ac is in fully working order as Eli and Karis are about to meet. He’s been talked into helping a friend of his sister whose ex boyfriend took all her money without finishing the renovations necessary for her new bakery. But once Eli has met this gorgeous feisty young woman he’s going to make her his and will do anything to help. Great characters that practically ‘melt’ my kindle as I was reading. A fun and fast, easy read that has a HEA and leaves me wanting the rest of the series here asap! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Definitely recommended!!
This is the first book in a new series from this talented duo. Karis is the owner of a bakery, and when she is let down by an ex, Eli’s sister convinced him to step in and help renovate the bakery. There is an instant attraction between these two. This is a well written story which is humorous, fun, steamy and an all round entertaining read. I recommend for all readers.

Eli would do anything for his baby sister, so he agrees to help her friend, Karis, who needs help fixing up her bakery after her ex-boyfriend steals her money and doesn’t finish the remodeling job. Once Eli walks into the bakery, he realizes the job is much more than he signed up for and won’t be paid for a lot of the work he will have to do, but one look at Karis has Eli willing to do anything to help. Eli and Karis are attracted to each other from the moment they see each other. The chemistry is scorching hot and burns like a wild fire, but Karis being a virgin has Eli running in the other direction. What happens when Karis’ ex shows up? Will Karis forgive Eli for how he reacted to her being a virgin? Karis and Eli are great together with an amazing chemistry that burns HOT! I loved Stripped Bare by CM Seabrook and Frankie Love. Stripped Bare is a great story about instant attraction, great chemistry, and a strong connection. Stripped Bare is a super sweet, sexy read. I would definitely recommend getting Stripped Bare by CM Seabrook and Frankie Love.

Stripped Bare is a fun, sexy, sweet, quick read romance written much in the vein of Frankie Love’s other insta-love short stories and novellas. The characters are likable and the writing is great. It’s a very enjoyable read.
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
Loved Karis and Elis story so much. Its sweet, cute and short but so great. His sister asks him to help Karis her friend out and he does. Ince he sees her he knows he wants her and their attraction is mutual. Just loved these two.
I enjoyed the story. I did feel that the story line and characters could have been more developed. The story moved quickly and did not allow for the relationship between Karis and Eli to develop.

Stripped Bare was a great quick read. Over the top, love at first sight love in its unbelievably finest. Great short story with loveable characters. Steamy chemistry and of course happiply-ever-after ending. To top it off the story comes with two lovely epilogues. Just enough to fall more deeply in love with the characters all over again.

Stripped Bare is a pleasing, quick, and steamy, insta-love read. As soon as these two meet, you could feel the heat coming off the pages. Is it geting hot in here? I enjoyed this one, and I’m looking forward to the next book from these two authors, I’m sure they have another spicy one or us.
Short story with heat. I would have liked more background on the characters and more to the story in general. Eli is talked into doing a construction job by his sister for her friend. When he arrives, the work that had been done was much worse than he imagined. However, out steps the bakery owner, Karis, who is beautiful and sexy. Her previous boyfriend had taken her money, done a horrible job, and skipped out on her. What happens when the sparks fly between Karis and Eli? What happens when her ex shows back up and demands more money? Will Eli get more than he bargained for?

Deliciously sweet sprinkled with a hint of spice.
Eli Blake owns Nailed it Construction. His sister talks him into helping her friend on a reno. He’s a good man, decent and not a player. He’s the whole package.
Karis Quinn owns For Heaven’s Cakes and her last boyfriend demolished her bake shop and ran off with the money but not her vCard.
When Eli sees Karis it’s game on. And a few hours later, she’s trying to hand him her vCard. I loved that it was Eli who slowed things down a tiny notch.
Eli’s pretty near perfect.
Recommend.
