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

This book is everything! Run, do not walk, to the bookstore to get this in your library! Gray is the epitome of a book boyfriend. He is willing to sacrifice for the ones he loves. The secondary characters are stellar, especially Etta. Get ready to fall in love with this book and Freckles! 5 amazing stars
I have fallen hard for Gray. He is charming and sexy and knows what he wants. I love these qualities. He definitely won me over. This story was sweet and everything I wanted in a romance. I definitely have a soft spot for second chance romances and this one cemented itself in my top favorites. I laughed and got frustrated with the characters. I swooned. I loved every minute of this story and I can’t wait to see what Vi bring’s us next.
I haven’t read too many Vi Keeland books, and I know this is one that will stay with me for a long time. The characters are fun and real, they just jump off the page. The situation, though a little predictable, also had enough surprises to really keep me wondering how it would all play out. And the surprises that I did get were perfect. Definitely going to start looking into Vi’s older books to catch up on everything I missed!
Absolutely amazing in every way. Witty, funny, angsty and emotional. The Naked Truth was simply electrifying. I highly recommend it!
Holy shit! That was just amazing!! I think Grey is my new fave of you girls’ men! Wow!
The Naked Truth is another great read by Vi Keeland! I loved loved Gray! He was sexy, sweet and swoony! I also loved Layla. I thought Gray and Layla had amazing chemistry and scorching sexy scenes! They were perfect together. I loved this book!
This book was EVERYTHING! Vi never disappoints, but this is one of her best! Swoony, awesome Gray is . Characters are so well written. Recommending this to all my readerfriends and groups.
I was so very happy to finally get my grubby hands on this book and it does not disappoint! I absolutely love a good Second-change story and Vi does them so well. Just wait till you meet the hero…SMOKING! The Heroine, yowza!
OMG!!! This book was amazing. I loved Gray and Layla. There was so much chemistry between these two. It was hot and sexy and romantic. Just everything I love in a book. Vi has outdone herself again. She has a way of pulling you into a book and making you feel like you’re right there with the characters. Love it! I can’t wait to see what she cooks up next! A must read!
I am without a doubt totally head-over-heels for this dirty talking sexy as sin man! Gray will have you falling in love with him from the get-go and just watch out for when his life takes a bit of a different path than he planned, because then you have absolutely no chance of holding onto your heart at all!!
I read this in one sitting because I just couldn’t not do that. It’s that good!! I really like Layla too, she is an awesome match for Gray! I adore that he calls her Freckles. I love that her resistance is so low to him because together they are simply dynamite! One of the things I really love about this book is that the story is not at all what it seems like it is going to be and that makes it that much more incredible. There is so much happening that gives such substance to both the story and the characters themselves. Aside from our amazing couple whose relationship status is definitely in doubt and wobbly on more than one occasion, due to some circumstances beyond their control; there are also wonderful secondary characters that will make you smile, laugh, cry and some you’ll even want to throat punch. This is one hot and sexy read for sure but hold onto your heart because it is honestly so much more! An entire galaxy of stars given!!
Vi Keeland’s done it again! When I heard the blurb for The Naked Truth I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it!! I fell in love with Layla and Gray’s story! And Grey is so swoon worthy! What I thought was gonna be just a super funny, light read (and let’s not forget sexy- wait until you get to the office scene ) turned out to be so much more! I cried a little, I laughed a lot, I felt every emotion with this book!! I just finished and I’m super cheesing! I just love the ending!
I give this book 5 Stars all the way!!
This book was fantastic. I was on vacation when I started this book so I wasn’t able to read it as quickly as I wanted to. If I had the time, it would have been finished in one sitting. This book hooked me very quickly and didn’t let go. Layla and Grayson were amazing characters. Their connection could be felt coming off the pages and I just adore books like that. The secondary characters were great as well. Especially Etta and Ella.
Layla and Grayson both had serious trust issues. Reading about them discovering their abilities to trust one another was beautiful. They were both very mature in their actions and responses to situations that occurred. There was one time Grayson handled something in a manner he thought was best. Even though I didn’t like how he dealt with it, I completely understood his reasoning.
I really didn’t want this book to end.
I got an advance copy of this angsty second chance romance! Read the description – you’ll be hooked! Vi always delivers exceptional reads.
Lies only lead to heartache…the truth sets you free.
Layla almost lost her law career, but after working long hours and making amends, she’s back on track. A meeting to take on a new client could be her next big break. However, when she finallys sees him….everythings about to change. Grayson Westbrook. It took her a long time to move on from him. Now he’s back and he wants Layla back too!
An unconventional start to their story. I don’t want to give anything away…but this story has its twists and turns. Layla and Gray had an immediate connection, but secrets and lies tore them apart.
Gray is cocky, possessive, and driven. He knows what he wants. And now with a fresh start, he sets out to get it. He may have failed to come clean about his past, but he’s determined to make Layla see his truth. Layla is strong, hard-working and beautiful. Her family life has really tainted her ability to love and trust. However, she needs to open her heart and let love in.
This story was an emotional ride. So much more to this than I expected. It was so very sexy, swoony and pulled at the heart strings.
The question is, how far are you willing to go or how much of your heart are you willing to risk to have the love that makes you whole and heals your heart? Gray and Layla had a connection that was worth risking it all!
5 stars! I did not want to put this book down, Gray had me enamoured with him right from the get go, his determination, loyalty and that sinfully dirty mouth will have you wishing you had a bit of Gray in your life! Some twists and turns that keep you guessing, mistakes and misunderstandings and let’s not forget some hot as hell chemistry, all which make this a read you might want to clear your calendar for, because once you start, you won’t want to stop!
Where to start with this book, all i have to say is VI Keeland has done it again with this story absolutely loved it, loved the storyline, writing was amazing as usual and i was just so addicted to the story.
This book for me had such a different story line to the point i hadn’t read anything like it and that’s rare these days but i loved the lawyer aspect and the fact we delt with horrible women, second chance love, lots of baggage from each character this story was never boring.
Gray well he is the book boyfriend that you will never forget, he had a sharp tounge and lots of sexual innuendos that had me laughing, he was determined and selfless and really caring and i loved that he was the total package, goodness me he had me day dreaming in some parts of the book. I was expecting something totally different and i loved who he was.
Layla she was also a good character, she was your usual attorney who clocked up way too many working hours and was dedicated to doing a good job. The more we got to know Layla the more you could work out the way she was and how her parents had made her the way she was. I loved the push and pull she had towards Gray and made me just want to keep reading this book.
The thing i loved most about this book were the other characters we had Etta who was so funny and awesome, Ella who was so cute and such an amazing character. I even like Rip and was so glad he got his happy ending and finally freckles and his old boot.
Absolutely loved everything about this book and if your a fan of Vi Keelands you shouldn’t be disappointed and if you haven’t read anything of hers yet shame on you, you won’t regret this women’s writing
Massive 5 naked truth stars for this baby.
Vi is reliable… as always. I really adore her work and how she writes.
What I love the most? That her „boys” are a**, who have golden hearts.
I love her „girls” ! They’re independent and dotn’t affraid to tell us that love is also important in their lifes.
In The Naked Truth we meet Gray and Layla .
Layla is young and succssefull, she worked hard for everything what she got. She’s proud and focus on her work… but when You’ll look closely, it can be seen that she paid for it vey big price. She made a long way to be, where she is in her life. Layla got everything, fo the first sigh… but then You’ll see that she lost something important in the past… she lost love of her life. She’s independent now, but she still wanted to be loved… she wanted be everythig for her man… not „only enough”.
Layla history’s complicated, a lot of times I wanted to cry, but Vi writes her story in so amazing way… You have any doubts that Gray and Layla are perfect for each other.
Gray is really a*** , but his soul is soft . He’ll do everything for people, who he love. With Layla they have common past…. that past was broken and hard for them, but they try to go on with their lifes.
Gray wasn’t very lucky guy, a lot of people hutrs him… but he never give up. What can I say more ??? I just love this arogant bastard.
The Naked Truth is a story about 2 broken hearts, who’s dreaming about fixing evertything to have second chance…
The Naked Truth is a story about passion, which make You’re heart beating fast…
The Naked Truth is about hard choices, when You’re thinking there’s no way out…
The Naked Truth will make You waiting breathless for what next happen..
You can be sure, The Nacked Thuth is amazing book, with wonderfull story.

The Naked Truth by Vi Keeland
Following an incident where she was forced to fulfill hours of community services, Layla is eager to please the partners at her law firm and that means presenting as best she can to win a potential new client. Upon entering the meeting, she comes face to face with the one man she’s spent the last year trying to get over: Gray Westbrook. The man she fell in love with while serving her hours of community service at the same prison he was in, serving time for white-collar crime.
Not sure what I can say about this book. It was an ok read, nothing spectacular or that we’ve not seen before. I did enjoy quite a few aspects particularly pertaining to Gray. I thought he was a great man with a huge heart and my personal weakness, a dirty mouth. I enjoyed Layla’s character too though to a somewhat lesser degree and I’m really not sure I can put my finger on why. I think she was supposed to be a strong and assertive professional but it fell kind of flat. Like I said, I don’t think I can put my finger on my reasoning. Overall, this was a good second-chance romance, but not something that wowed me.
*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Vi Keeland has done it again, written one of those books that stayed with me long after the last page was read. I’m still swooning over Gray even though there was a period of time that I wanted to choke the living daylights out of him. The Naked Truth is a second chance at love book that is loaded with flirty fun, sexy banter, and oh the feels in this one. Secondary characters that are so entertaining, sneaky, outspoken and lovable, even one that you really want to hate but I had a hard time doing that.
Layla Hutton is an independent woman, a lawyer who doesn’t want to depend on no man, her upbringing has left its mark on her. She is sassy, smart, funny, serious and sweet, that is until she meets her new client. Grayson Westbrook, or Gray is sexy, smart, hot, confident and lovable, but he is also a man on a mission. After being away from Layla for a period of time, he has decided that he wants her back in his life. There is more than one layer to Gray, with unselfish being at the top and the thickest layer.
Will the pain from their upbringing keep them apart, or will things that happen in the present keep them from having the relationship that they both deserve. I’m not telling, but if you love second-chance romance with a few surprises thrown in here and there, then you need to put this book at the top of your to read list.
Five freckled stars for this one!!
Late last night, I finished The Naked Truth by Vi Keeland. She is one of my go-to authors because not only are her books full of heart, but also full of circumstances that feel very real.
Here is my truth:
This book is a beautiful story filled with betrayal, heartbreak, heat, faith, second chances, and uncontrollable circumstances. This book is a perfect example of the human condition and how empathy can open up new paths to take in life. Enjoyable, with laughable moments that will make you smile. Sexy, with moments that will make you melt. Beauty, that will make your own heart swoon with each turned page. Devastating, in a way that makes a heart wilt when considering life and how sometimes…..things simply do not turn out how one expected them to. This story is another hit by Vi Keeland, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to read it early.
Gray and Layla have a combustible relationship in more ways than one. Not only is the chemistry evident in the playful, smoldering banter but in the sweet moments that make you fall in love with them throughout their journey.
Gray was an unexpected treat. I had no idea his story would be one of bad luck, deceit, and a deep longing to live and breathe his true love after an unexpected three years of lost time. Yet, his ability to be honest, open, and true while pursuing Layla is wondrous. The character development is perfection as his story unfolds, as forgiveness and a new identity to endure become prominent. He is caring, funny, kind, sexy, and sweet. Most of all, he is simply the portrait of the man of any woman’s dreams.
As for Layla, I felt her character’s choices, fears, and hopes deeply as she began to navigate finding a way to give her heart to man who once broke it before; to take a chance, a risk. She is most certainly one of the most compelling heroine’s I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know because not only is she charismatic and lovely, but she gives her all for those she loves. As she opens up to Gray and they find their way back to one another, despite drastic changes that come with any tragedy, a strength shines through her character that in the real world any decent human being wishes to achieve at some point.
Ultimately, both of these characters are an engaging and marvelous creation depicting humanity; in belief that the ability to love can render any one person capable of being brave, forgiving, free, and kind.
Basically, this story is golden and needs to be read by everyone.
