I loved Sammy and Johnny’s story. So many unexpected moments. My favorite part had to have been when Sammy found out the secret Father Patrick had been hiding then went to Johnny’s and took control! Pretty hot scene. This was incredibly passionate and I loved every single part! I only wish it had been longer!
This is an anticipated book in the series about Johnny Carrilli. The heroine is Samantha (Sammy) and it’s an interesting take on second chance romances. Johnny brutally distanced himself from Sammy years ago because his world is dangerous. Sammy felt betrayed. This is the story of Johnny deciding to pursue Sammy and it’s a fun sexy story. Their story is complicated and it’s done in a very well written way. They really deserved their HEA. I really enjoyed this series.
These ladies can deliver!! I have really enjoyed reading this series. Stripped Down may be marking the end to this series, but these ladies are not done collaborating, thank goodness!!
This story delivered in both sexy and heart. It had quite a few twists I didn’t see coming which made it even more fantastic for me! The chemistry between these two was glorious! I mean Johnny had me melting in a puddle! *yikes* Sammy tho, gaaaaah, I wanted to smack that girl a few times LOL But they were perfect for each other!
With secrets and deception running amok, I kinda expected the conflict in the story to be a little more explosive than it was. It was just too easy, but still a heck of a story all around!
Well done ladies!
What a great addition to the Nailed Down Series, this is book 4 in the series and once again we get a story that’s full of passion and deceit and for me it’s the perfect end to the series.
Sammy had her life planned out she was destined for a life of service in the convent but one night of passion with Johnny changes everything even her Uncle Patrick can’t change her mind.
Johnny knows he is meant to be with Sammy but the history they have ripped their families apart once before will this time around be any different….
Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler work so well together and I really have no idea who wrote what in this great read and that’s a sure sign of perfect collaboration. A intense second chance love story that’s full of suspense, lies and family interference make this the perfect ending to a great series and I can’t wait to see where this very talented pair of authors take us next.
Such a reliable author team! Love everything they write…
Loved Sammy’s strength and I’m a sucker for a strong alpha male like Johnny!
Lots of ups and downs for these two…they have such a strong connection though. Loved diving into their story!
If you enjoy a sexy, second chance romance, pick this one and the series up!
9 years ago Johnny did the only thing he could to protect Sammy and that was to break her heart by breaking up with her and saying he never loved her. Fast forward to present day and Johnny wants a second chance with Sammy but secrets are keeping them apart. Can Sammy forgive Johnny and what happens when secrets are out in the open??? You have to read to find out 🙂 I really enjoyed this second chance romance.
Wow! Johnny Carelli is dangerously HOT! Just reading the back story of Johnny and Sammy almost burned up my Kindle. Lots of action where Johnny is. And a Holy What Just Happened moment in Sammy’s past. Lots of heat. Lots of action. A plot twist I didn’t see. Another great book in the Nailed Down series.
Dang this book packs a punch!!
You never want to like the bad boy that the previous book made you hate but the author always makes you fall and Johnny is no exception! Johnny is one slick bad boy with a cocky attitude. Sammy can’t hold out forever but she sure does try! They’ve got a lot of obstacles in their way but they both deserve the happy ending they’re fighting for.
I love a good second chance romance and this is a great one!
5 Stars
Another amazing book from Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler.
I loved this book as much as the others in this series. Sammy and Johnny were everything!
Once again another must read from Chelle and Eden, do yourself a favor and read it and if haven’t already read the others in this series too…you won’t be disappointed
I really enjoyed reading Johnny and Sammy’s love story!!!! Johnny tells a lie and breaks Sammy’s heart when they were both young.Johnny grows up to be a hot and sexy man on mission to make things right with Sammy but she has secrets of her own!!! Loved it!!!!!
Stripped Down is the finale to this great series by two amazing authors and they have concluded it on a huge high. Johnny and Sammy fell in love when they were young but hearts were broken and lies were told. Ten years on and they come face to face again and this time Johnny is not walking away from the woman who has always owned his heart. A gritty action packed love story where hearts are claimed, lies and secrets are revealed and a HEA just might be in reach for two people who lost it all to protect the ones they love.
Stripped Down is the fourth book in this series and talk about opposites attract. This is Johnny and Samantha’s book. Johnny has mafia ties and Samantha is destined for the convent. But when night of passion changes everything. This book and series is so good. This series is a must read.
Stripped Down was such an awesome story!! It was a long time in making but Johnny and Sammy finally got their happy ever after!!! Loved it
With this final installment of the Nailed Down series I have to admit I was slightly disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, I loved that Chelle brought back the other couples, she introduced new men and showed that Johnny and Sammy had a long history together but what disappointed me was the build up of revealing Betta. It was just so wham bam, here’s your daughter we can be a happy family now. That coupled with the Liam situation (which completely confused me) just seemed so rushed towards the end. I always love a good happy ending and this one certainly was.
Second Chance Romance at it’s finest!
In this story we have Johnny & Samantha. They have known each other most of their lives. Johnny is a few years older, and knew Samantha as a friend of his sisters when they were in school with each other.
They are from feuding families. Samantha only has her uncle in her life, who is also a priest. Her uncle never approved of Johnny & always accused him of soiling Samantha’s purity.
Johnny knew his family would never approve of him being with Samantha, he broke things off with her when they were younger, breaking her heart.
Samantha never got over Johnny, and no one else ever replaced him in her heart either. Samantha has a huge secret that she has kept from him and most of her friends.
Will Samantha and Johnny be able to mend their hearts? Will Samantha want to be with him after being away from him for the last 9 years?
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
Johnny and Samantha (Sammy) were sweethearts when they were teens then they broke up. Now years later, Johnny is taking is chance to have the woman he could never forget. Sammy is to be a nun but she never forgot Johnny, the boy she always loved. She is feisty and has attitude so she gives as good as she gets with Johnny. The lies and twists come from both sides of their families. The couple have a love that is like wildfire and won’t be denied again. I loved this couple and the series is a fantastic binge read.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving a review.
This was an intense amazing second chance read about Sammy and Johnny. Loved their interaction and banter. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this wonderful thrilling sexy love story. This was an awesome addition to an amazing series and I can’t believe it’s the end. Loved this story and I can’t wait to read more by Chelle Bliss.
I loved Johnny’s book. I knew I would…I’ve loved the others in this series. And I’m a sucker for a second chance romance and this one was perfect.
Johnny comes from a not ideal family doing things that he isn’t always proud of. It’s why he broke his own heart as well as Samantha’s 10 years ago when he left her. When he walked away from her, he left his heart in her hands. She just didn’t know it. He thought he was making the right decision based on things enemies have done in the past.
Samantha tried so hard to fight the pull towards Johnny when he appeared back in her life. But he was determined and she was weak when it comes to him and her deep feelings for him. But there are things Johnny doesn’t know and she has no idea how to tell him.
This book was so good I wasn’t able to put it down and finished it in one day.
There is just something magically in this book that has you craving for more. This book takes you on a raw emotional journey that touches your heart. I loved the second chance aspect. Sometimes you need to rip your heart out in order for it to truly heal. The characters are relatable and so filled with depth. The writing is flawless and i couldn’t put this book down. I definitely suggest getting a copy ASAP. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have.
