BARE: A Hollywood Romance (Exposed Book 2) Kindle Edition

Reed Scott broke Tegan Reynolds heart when he left her at the altar, but now eight years later, she finds she has to work with him by teaching him the choreography for the new dance movie he's starring in. Determined to resist Reed, Tegan does everything she can to keep things professional. However, Reed doesn't make things easy for her. Will she give him a second chance or will she walk away before she gets hurt again?

Having absolutely loved the first book of this series, I couldn't wait to read to read this book and I've got to say that Ms. Robinson pens another remarkable read for this series in this book where second chances are possible if the heroine can forgive the hero; the main characters were fantastic due to their back stories, their past history and everything they go through that made me think these two didn't stand a chance with the tough obstacles they had to overcome, but had me liking that everything worked out for the best; and the dialogue was a wonderful combination of intense moments due to what happened to the heroine in the past and how Reece is partly to blame for what happened. Then again, who is to say that what happened to the heroine wouldn't have happened anyway?

Both the main characters were well-developed and had me loving their growing relationship, as they find their way back to each other. Not that it's easy for the heroine to forgive and forget and be able to move forward. Will Reed find a way to prove she's the one for him and always has been? Moreover, the heroine was resilient, courageous and I liked how far she's come. No way was she going to let what happened to her get the better of her. I also liked that she gave the hero another chance, even though he hurt her badly in the past that led her to making a life-changing decision. However, I liked that she took chances throughout this story to make her dreams finally come true, especially since the hero has such faith in her. Will she get everything she wants?

While the hero, he's confident, talented and I liked how determined he was to win the heroine over, even though that isn't easy because of what he did to her that ended up turning Tegan's life upside down. However, in saying that, I liked that he didn't give up on his second chance with Tegan, as he's changed and realized that they can achieve their dreams together instead of believing that either of them would be holding the other back from achieving everything they've ever wanted to achieve. Yet, what I liked most of all about the hero is that he would do anything to help the heroine. The way he pushes her to follow her dreams; dreams she long ago never thought she'd never be able to achieve after what happened to her had me liking the hero more than I did when he was first introduced.

Overall, Ms. Robinson has delivered a fantastic read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was powerful; the romance hot and full of passion; and the ending had me loving what brings these two back together and had me enjoying how happy the hero was in regards to something the heroine tells him. I would recommend Bare by Sarah Robinson, if you enjoy second chance romances, Hollywood romances, or books by authors AL Jackson, Adriana Locke, Samantha Towle and Vi Keeland.

3.5 Stars

I enjoyed the push and pull between the main characters but even after I finished I still didn’t like Reed sorry I know some readers will be screaming at me. I liked Teagan but I was so hoping she would kick him to the curb or even just make him work a bit harder and longer to prove himself.

Even though this wasn’t my favourite of the series I’m still looking forward to the next one.
