Editoral Review
Bared by Stacey Kennedy is a contemporary erotic romance novel published on January 28, 2014. Kennedy is a USA Today bestselling author known for her erotic romance novels.
The novel follows the journey of a young woman named Kyler Morgan, who works for a high-end fashion company, and her struggle to keep her boss’s brother, Jaxon Colton, out of her thoughts. Their relationship starts out as nothing more than a wild one-night stand, but as Jaxon continues to pursue her, Kyler finds herself falling for him despite her best efforts to resist.
The setting of the novel is modern-day Los Angeles, with a focus on the fashion industry, providing insight into the lives of the rich and famous. Kyler faces conflicts not only with Jaxon, but with her own past and her struggles to fit in with the high society fashion crowd.
Kennedy creates an engaging novel with complex and relatable characters, as well as strong themes of trust, redemption, and self-acceptance. The author sets up a believable romance between Kyler and Jaxon, skillfully building up the tension and chemistry between them.
One of the strengths of the book is Kennedy’s ability to write erotic scenes that are steamy without being gratuitous. The pacing of the novel is well-crafted, keeping the reader engaged throughout.
The author demonstrates a keen eye for detail, especially in the world of high fashion, which adds depth and substance to the story. However, the novel falls short in the character development of some of the side characters, who can feel stereotypical and underdeveloped.
There are also moments where the story feels predictable and formulaic. Overall, Bared is a well-written and enjoyable erotic romance novel, with strong characters and themes that make it stand out from others in the genre.
Fans of Stacey Kennedy and erotic romance will not be disappointed.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy erotic romance with well-crafted characters and strong themes of trust and self-acceptance.
However, readers who are looking for a deeper exploration of the fashion industry or more complex side characters might be disappointed. I would give this book a score of 3.5 out of 5 stars.
