NOW A NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER! From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.It was just a typical Monday.Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client.After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed.Or so I … shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed.
Or so I thought…
Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch.
My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance.
And that was the good part of my day.
Because the gorgeous man crouched down and looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive, was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook.
A man who I’d only just begun to move on from.
A man who my heart despised–yet my body obviously still had other ideas about.
A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy.
Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare.
Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done.
But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client
…was there?more
And, they lived happily ever after, the end. I love HEA’s and I got my HEA. I love reading Vi Keeland’s books. They always make me feel good. The way she writes just sucks you in, makes you feel emotion and a part of the story.
The Naked Truth is Gray (Grayson) Westbrook and Layla (Freckles) Hutton’s story. Layla is an attorney & Gray needs representation in his start-up company. This is a second chance romance. Wait until you read how they met.
Vi’s characters come alive as you are reading. I felt a little sorry for Oliver. He was a good guy and didn’t take the money offered. I loved Etta, who wouldn’t and then Ella again who wouldn’t? Oh, and I can’t forget Freckles. You know Gray was destined to own Freckles when you read the Naked Truth. Yes, I am being vague. I can’t give away the story now, can I?
I loved reading The Naked Truth and I give it 4.5 Stars and of course can’t wait to read Vi Keeland’s next book!
I really hope I can do this book justice because once again this author has given us everything you could want in a book a hot passionate hero who’s not afraid to show his gentle tender side. a confident heroine and lets be honest we all love second chance romances.
Grayson has done his time and is now back putting his new business back together after spending three years in a jail for a white collar crime he didn’t commit its time to move on and moving on means hiring Layla a lawyer who was once the girl he fell head over heels for. Layla can’t believe who the new client is that she has been summoned to present her companies services too but she needs her job but the man standing in front of her is the man who lied to her once before and she is not ready to give him a chance to break her again problem is he is just as hot and irresistible as he was a couple of years ago. Will Layla give Grayson a second chance, will he be all she ever wanted or will his past tear them apart once again………
I can understand why Layla fell for this guy because Grayson has just become my new book boyfriend I fell for him hook line and sinker. This book had me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, I laughed, I held my breath a few times and what about the time I wanted to bang this couples head together, oh who can forget the adorable little 3 year old who also stole a piece of my heart …do I need to go on
I’m going to leave you with please one click this must read from one of my favourite authors. You know a book is the best when you don’t want it to ever end and that’s how I felt about The Naked Truth.
5 Love Changes Everything Stars!
Layla Hutton is an attorney in New York for Latham & Pittman. She’s in the process of trying to work her way up in the law firm, and make amends for a past mistake, so when she’s offered the opportunity to do a presentation for a new VIP client she’s excited. That is until she discovers this new client is her ex Grayson Westbrook. She hasn’t seen Gray in over a year, and the sight of him still does things to her. He’s absolutely gorgeous, and they’ve always had this crazy, intense chemistry as well as a complicated history. She doesn’t know how she can possibly work with him, but he’s a client worth a lot of money to her firm, and even worse he’s requested her, and she’s to be available to him at all times.
Gray is starting an investment firm, and needs new legal representation, and someone he can trust with his business. He also never got over Layla, and wants a second chance. She’s the love of his life, and he wants to spend time with her. He’s persistent, knows what he wants, and is going after it.
Layla has been trying to move on from Gray, but being around him again and working together is just too much. She needs to think with her head, and not her heart, but she can’t help wanting him. Soon she’s fixated on him, and can’t help the way her body reacts when he’s near. The connection they shared has always been unlike anything she’s ever experienced, and before long he’s once again taking up residency in her heart. Will she risk it all for love?
This book was fantastic, and I now have a new favorite Vi Keeland man. There was something so unique and special about the character of Gray. He was swoony book boyfriend perfection! He’s confident, sexy, direct, possessive and alpha, but then he has this vulnerable, gentle side. He has this beautiful heart you can’t help but fall for. He loves openly and completely with everything he is. This was a wonderful second chance romance I highly recommend. Just loved it!
A fantastic second chance read! I was completely enamored with Gray! Totally swoon worthy, arrogant, sexy and alpha hot! Hooked from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down until the end. Did not want this one to end! Chemistry is off the charts and their banter/connection is everything. I highly recommend this book! A must read.

Layla is a lawyer in New York. She’s just been sent upstairs to present their services to a new client. She’s mega excited and a bit scared. She has to prove herself to her bosses – there was a tiny little incident a couple of years ago. But she’s ready now.
Only, when she walks, or rather falls into the conference room … it’s her sexy idiot of an ex who requested her for his new company! Grrrr. And he’s still just as irresistable as he used to be.
Back when he charmed his way into her heart – the LIAR!
Grayson just spent three years in a white collar prison for insider trading – a crime he didn’t commit!
And while he was in there, he met the woman of his dreams. Lawyer Layla.
He never forgot her for a single second. And he hates how things ended. But now he’s out and he wants her back!
Let the fun times begin!
WHAT WiLL HAPPEN TO LAYLA & GRAY???
WiLL THERE BE A HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!
The cover is really sexy!! BUT – what’s with the dangling arm??? Is that supposed to mean something? Very weird!
Well, that was funny and adorable and sexy and heartbreaking! I enjoyed reading it ….
But it was also a bit boring. Nothing really happens. Or if things happen they’re only those … I’ve-read-that-a-million-times-before things. Gray is a great guy. Hot, sexy, smart, funny. But we also can’t really love-love him in the beginning because he’s just out of jail. We hope that he was innocent – we don’t yet know the story. But I couldn’t immediately love him. And I hated that. I wanted to love him.
And Layla. She’s not making the best impression on me either in the beginning. And the constant back and forth of I want him and I hate him and he lied to me and I can’t forgive him but I still want him. Ugh.
The book starts and bam they’re flirt-fighting. I don’t see any sparks between them. And we don’t know any kind of backstory. I first thought they were together at college or some other scenario years ago – but nope – it was just recently – in jail. And we’re told that in a few back-in-time chapters – and I hate going back in time in most books! But it was done ok here.
Anyway, the book started a bit weirdly for my tastes. I’m writing this now that I’m only 15% into the story – which might be stupid, but I had to write down what I was thinking.
I’m coming back later – maybe it’s gotten better. I really hope so.
Back.
It definitely got better. It’s funny, sexy. And we have adorable doggie moments. But we also have that typical Vi Keeland (and Penelope Ward) ‘surprise’ thingy around the 50% mark. I was SO surprised. NOT!
But it was an ok part of the story, it was something you could’ve guessed. It was a little heartbreaking blip on the way to their happy end. I even had to cry a few times! But it was also kind of very adorable!
I really liked reading the book, but it wasn’t anything earth-shatteringly amazing and new and exciting and surprising. But there were some very good moments. Very sexy ones. Adorable ones. Sad ones. Funny ones. Frustrating ones.
Don’t let me keep you from reading this story. It wasn’t bad at all! I just expected something a tiny little bit … more – especially in the beginning.
THE NAKED TRUTH was an adorable and funny and sexy & heartbreaking second-chancey romance! Run to your nearest amazon to get your own Grayson – this one is soooo MINE!
Fabulous, heartfelt, sexy, funny and emotional book! Vi Keeland always knows how to write a fresh engaging story that takes you through an abundance of emotions! It’s never just your typical book! I loved it!
