I love Emma Hart. She is one of my favorite author’s. I read almost all her books and really enjoyed them. After reading the end of Mia and West’s story, I was looking forward read Beckett’s story.
Beck is a smart, sexy, rich playboy, who owns two strip clubs called Landing Strip and Rock Solid with his best friend West. Cassie is single mom, who works as a stripper in Landing Strip in order to take care of her daughter. She is struggling financially and her only option for work is stripping even though she hates herself doing it.
After seeing something is off about Cassie’s performance one night, Beckett realizes something is wrong and asks Cassie to come to his office and while trying to make her talk, he offers her a shot. After one too many shots of tequila Beck finds himself married with Cassie. Annulment is out of the window after their night together. After starting to get to know Cassie, Beck doesn’t want to let her go while Cassie is ready to run. Through out the story we see their struggles and how their relationship evolves. Beckett and Cassie’s story is hot, sad and sweet combined in to one. If you still didn’t start reading it, I totally recommend you to start
Would I recommend this book: Yes
Would I re-read this book: Yes
Would I read future books by this author: Definitely
Accidentally married in Vegas? Yep. Right up my alley. Beck was just the right amount rough as he was sweet. The strip club setting was a little odd for me, but I completely got it. I read this series out of order so now I need to go read book 1, with West and Mia.
**5 Stars**
Oh man, when I finished Stripped Bare and read that little excerpt of Beckett’s story, I was DYING for it to come out. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on his book and the woman who he married. The book ended up being more than I was expecting and I loved every second of it.
Beckett, after being introduced to him in Wes and Mia’s story I couldn’t wait for him to get his own book. Beckett was so much more than I was prepared for. I was on team Wes but now I’ve fully been converted to team Beckett. He cares with all of him and protects those who important to him. He fights for what is important to him and those that he loves. One of my favorite aspects of his character is when he would address Cassie as Cassie Cruz, claiming her as his.
Cassie, I loved this stubborn woman and all of her insecurities. Being a single mom isn’t easy, but she does it and loves her children with her all. Ciara, Cara, knows her mom loves her even if at times she doesn’t think so. Cassie does everything in her power to protect and take care of Cara, even if it means working at a job she isn’t fond of. Until Beckett makes it so much better.
I love Beckett and Cassie’s story. I was sad it ended, but I loved their journey from start to finish. It was so much more than I expected and it was perfect.
Damn this cover.
Another great and hot story. I just loved Cassie’s daughter CiCi, she was so cute. I’m not sure on the whole drunk getting married thing, but I did enjoy the rest of the story
Beck has a one track mind when is comes to Cassie, “he grabbed the other fridge stuff and handed it to me item by item. “There should be a law that, every time a guy does something amazingly unexpected and nice for a woman, she should give him a blow job.” Yeah Beck has some memory issues at times especially when he’s getting it on and food was ordered, “please don’t lick your hand like that. I’m uncomfortable enough as it is.” He adjusted his pants over his erection and pulled his box toward him. “You should have reminded me I’d ordered food.” I loved this book, I loved Beck
Beckett Cruz has never met a woman who wasn’t after him purely for his money or the privileged life that his fortune could provide them with, so he always make sure to keep his defenses up and keep his entanglements with them strictly on a one night basis. But when Cassie waltzes into his life he immediately notices something different, she could care less about his money, and even less about finding her way into his bed… and it drives him crazy. He’s not use to being told “no”, let alone have a woman not willing to fall at his feet, and when he tries to turn on the charm he’s met with nothing but resistance. After a few drinks her resistance starts to slip, and his defenses falter, and they find themselves in quite the predicament… suddenly hitched with no recollection of their walk down the aisle!
This was my first time reading something from Ms. Hart, and I have to say that her writing totally took me by surprise, and instantly made me regret not reading something by her until now… she completely won me over with this delectable little story! Barely a page into it and I was completely captivated, and left with the insatiable need for more!! Cassie and Beckett pulled me into their world and had me completely entranced , and dangling from every spoken word. It was evident from the very beginning that these two were a match made in literary heaven, the intense chemistry they shared could instantly be felt from their first encounter, and continued to burn intently until the last page was turned. I highly recommend you pick up this book, it is one of those stories that will move you to tears, monopolize your every thought, stir your emotions, and fog up your tablet screen!! I truly loved every minute of it and look forward to settling down with more reads from this author in the very near future!!
