Exposed #2
Bare
Following the popular series debut—NUDES was praised as “passionate, emotional and uplifting” by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely—contemporary romance author Sarah Robinson weaves a new standalone story where a second chance at romance is found on a Hollywood film set and secrets always have a way of being…exposed.
Reed Scott is the hottest actor in LA…
Being a Hollywood heartthrob has its perks, and I’ve damn sure enjoyed every one of them, both on and off the silver screen. The tabloids loved every second of exploiting my privacy, chronicling my mistakes in ink for the whole world to see. Accepting the lead role in a romantic dance film was guaranteed to make me a box office hit and help me rewrite my image, until the choreographer hired to train me turned out to be the only woman I’d ever loved and lost.
As beautiful and enticing as ever, Teagan walks in and reminds me of the worst mistake I’ve ever made. She should hate me, and now she has the power to destroy everything I am.
Teagan Reynolds is picking up the pieces…
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…never going to happen. I fell in love with Reed Scott once and it nearly killed me—literally. The last thing I want to do now is teach him how to dance, but I need this job and there’s no way I’m letting him take yet another thing away from me.
Reed is in my world now, and this time we’re dancing by my rules.

Contemporary Romances Across the Rainbow…
Sarah Robinson first started her writing career as a published poet in high school, and then continued in college, winning several poetry awards and being published in multiple local literary journals.
Never expecting to make a career of it, a freelance writing Craigslist job accidentally introduced her to the world of book publishing.

She continues to publish both traditionally and indie with over 18+ novels to her name with publishers like Penguin, Waterhouse Press, Hachette, Forever, Grand Central Publishing, and more.
In her personal life, Sarah Robinson identifies as a queer, non-binary mother and is happily married to the gentle giant of her dreams. The duo have two little children and are happily living in Arlington, Virginia where Robinson also works full-time as a psychotherapist with queer individuals and couples.

Sarah Robinson continues her Exposed series with Bare. These tales do not need to be read in order for the reader to enjoy them. What links is the environment of the arts; film, dance, and media.
With this entry, the first thing that came to my mind was a fusion of O'Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" crossed with the film vehicle of "Step Up". The couple, Teagan and Reed, have a history of being each other's everything in college. They unabashedly loved each other...wanted only the best for each other... supported each dream they had...
He wanted her to be all she could be, a dancer, a Broadway musical star... She loved him and was willing to be there for him, no matter what...But then...when they were supposed to be saying their vows to each other in front of everyone...Reed was a no show...
The results were life-changing for both of them...and now many years later, they are working together on the film which is critical for both of them. He needs it to clean up his reputation and she needs it as a foothold to advance her career as a choreographer.
Teagan is a woman who had to overcome extreme obstacles to be where she is standing today. She had the heartbreak with Reed and her other traumatic issues to live with...each impacting the other. Teagan defied the odds and was now standing on set ready to choreograph her first major film. This is her chance to move up in the ranks... to make her name in a cutthroat industry.
Reed has become a well known, successful actor. He has charm and talent that comes across on film. He also has been living the cliche life of a young stud...bad media exposure... pics and twits that need cleaning up big time...
The only problem is Reed's heart has never let go of Teagan... He knows he made a terrible mistake... he thinks he will never fill that hole in his heart... she will own it forever. His acting out and casual hookups were not meant to mean anything... and he made sure each participant was aware of no future...
Now he is standing in front of his possible second chance... and how does he demonstrate how real his love is to the woman he destroyed so many years ago...
This tale has all the layers needed to take the reader on a journey of first loves gone askew... both of these people were meant to be together...and only when they both believe each has each other's back will they see... They can have all the dreams they dreamt of.
Sarah Robinson delivers a detailed story with a man determined, mistaken, and then able to see his way clear to the love of his life. Our woman is strong, able to withstand, and rise up. To hold onto her need for self...We also get the chemistry and need of a couple destined to be together.

Teagan and Reed have been each other's everything in college. Until he left her standing at the altar.
Now, eight years later, he's a Hollywood superstar, and she's the choreographer for his new movie. They haven't seen each other in almost a decade. He doesn't know what happened to her and her dancing career after he left.
Teagan still hates him - but of course she still loves him too. Just like he never got over her either.
Can the two of them forgive and forget?
Will there be a 2nd chance for a Happily Ever After?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺

HOLLYWOOD ROMANCE!!!!
I just love Hollywood Romances.
And this was really adorable.
A sexy and heartbreaking second-chance love story.
Former Hollywood Bad Boy Reed is ready to do everything he possibly can to get Teagan back. But she's just not sure if she can forgive and forget.
I really liked Reed and Teagan and the story was adorable and frustrating and sexy and Hollywoody. BUT, it was also a bit predictable and the way she couldn't decide if she still wanted him got on my nerves pretty fast. And it takes her the whole book to decide. (Which doesn't mean that there's no sexy time. Not at all - she's just not sure if she can trust him with her heart for the rest of her life.)
I think I enjoyed the first book more ..... But I still really enjoyed reading this story. It was over kinda fast though - it ends at the 80% mark of the kindle file - so don't be surprised!!! That's not really something I like. It doesn't endear an author to readers. The last 20% were only promo for two other books.
And just like I complained about the horrible cover of the first book - this one is again not my kind of thing. Why the weird covers? A dancing girl and guy on the cover would've made sense....or .... anything else really. I don't like the red and black coloring and the provocative look in her eyes? Very weird.
But now I'm really excited to read the book about Simone, the last sister! She's gonna be a singer!

Bare is the second novel in the Nudes series, but is a complete standalone and can be read on its own. I personally enjoyed Nudes and think it is worth reading first, just to get to know one of the great Hollywood couples Sarah has brought to life before meeting the next. Main characters Reed and Teagan were once young sweethearts, but both were destined for fame and Reed couldn't let their future jeopardize the hope he had for his young bride. Years down the road, things just aren't what either ever expected or planned them to be. Teagan isn't famous, Reed is too famous, and neither has forgotten the person they once shared a life with. Like all Hollywood sets, you're destined to run into a former flame at some point, in this case it reignited the spark these two once had for each other.
Reed is a famous actor most well known for showing up on the front page of a tabloid, meanwhile his former fiance is the behind the scenes girl on a new movie he's set to star in. Both could easily have their own standalone novels about overcoming the obstacles they have standing in their way on the path to stardom, but instead we get to see them battle each other as the fight their heads and hearts. I liked Reed's goal of cleaning up his image and his ability to fail and keep trying, it felt sincere and was written true to life. Teagan was complicated for me, she'd held herself down with doubting thoughts for a very long time, yet overcame them very quickly. The push and pull between these two could have been interesting had it not been solely based on a trust that I never thought was really established. There's acting, dancing, sweet dates, arguments, and of course, a meddling agent and the paparazzi. Everything you could want in a Hollywood novel. The book even spans a great length of time, which I really liked, but the relationship story just didn't have enough meat to it.
Unfortunately, Bare was a miss for me and that's mainly due to how long it took to engage me in the story. I didn't feel really interested until about 40% and I didn't really feel like I was "in the story" until about 60%, the story just didn't feel real. I hung on longer than I normally would have, because I know Sarah Robinson can tell a great story, based on my previous experience with Nudes. Novels that feature characters in on off relationships can be incredibly difficult to pull off, because just as I would do for any friend, I would beg them to stop putting themselves through the emotional highs and lows. I could see the will Reed had to change himself, but it didn't change my perspective that Teagan wasn't nearly as strong or as proud as she should have been. Yes, the chemistry was there for sure, these two are hot together, but I wanted more from their interactions and I wish some of the drama had happened earlier on.
I think Bare was just a personal miss for me and I think other readers will find the second-chance romance a real winner.

This is a stand alone and you won't be lost if you didn't read the first book. I liked it, but it didn't hit as hard as the first book. This was a second chance romance, and way sweeter than the first one. Teagan is just as strong as her big sister. She overcomes the past in a big way, and gets Reed. Reed had a lot to make up for since he left Teagan at the altar, and he does it in spades. Lots of sexy times. Now I'm guessing there will be one more book with the baby sister.

Portrayed as a now he finally gets it, remorseful playboy, famous actor hero, who fate throws back in the arms of the woman he professes he never stopped loving, Reed Scott has some explaining to do. You see, for someone supposedly still in love with Teagan, the heroine, he’s certainly didn’t live the last decade like a broken hearted man. No, not at all. He’s lived the life of Riley with an excess of wine, beautiful women, and fame to boot, pretty much from the get go after leaving her jilted at the altar without an explanation. The paparazzi pictures prove it. It will be up to you if you accept his knuckleheaded reasoning. To me, he took away her freedom of choice and voice, along with breaking her heart.
For the most part, despite suffering physical and emotional hardship as a result, it doesn’t take Teagan overly long to forgive and pick right back up where they left off. Notice I left out the word “forget”, because that’s the one thing she couldn’t do. Not that I blame her. Again, it’s up to you to judge for yourself how much you can shrug off and accept.
The bare facts remain their history may be too much of a bitter pill for some avid romantic at hearts to swallow. It tainted my perspective of their relationship. The brief dance she made him do to get back in her good graces didn’t seem nearly enough. Then when some unwelcome drama comes their way and jeopardizes their future, lack of action once more speaks louder than words. At 60%, they didn’t fight for love again, folks.
There is even more that unfolds in this back and forth, relationship angst storyline. Just know, even though Reed realizes he loves Teagan to the moon and back, I still couldn’t quite get over his poor judgement. It’s hard to root for a couple when even the leading lady isn’t solely convinced the hero will stick around when things get tough.

Bare is a standalone in Robinson's Nude series; no need to read the first in order to read this one.
This book didn't wow me like the first one did. If you saw my face right now, I have my lips sort of scrunched up on one side and I am thinking to myself "I was hoping for more." It missed the mark for me but wasn't terrible.
Bare is a second chance romance for Teagan and Reed. They were college sweethearts who were both aiming for fame, but in different directions. And instead of talking things out, Reed leaves her high and dry.
Many years later, they are brought back together for a film production and it's like old flames rekindling - that fire never died out. But the trust is gone. Teagan holds a lot of anger and resentment towards Reed but Reed never stopped loving her.
While these two try to work their shit out, once again, the lack of communication because a barrier for them. This is where the whole plot line was a miss for me. These two have great chemistry (those scenes were spot on) but when it comes to communicating between each other, they totally suck. And that frustrates me beyond anything, especially with older, mature characters.
Anyway, you still get the fun stuff of a Hollywood novel - the acting, agents, paparazzi, etc to make the story entertaining all the way around. There were parts that Sarah did a great job with and that's what kept me continuing on with the story. I have a feeling this was more a personal miss for me and that more people will enjoy this book more than I did.
Even though this one wasn't my fave of the series so far, that won't stop me from reading the next one.

This story didn't have the same impact on me that the first book NUDES did, but it was still a great read that I really enjoyed. I loved seeing Reed going after what he had always wanted but what I enjoyed even more was watching Teagan make Reed work for what he wanted, she was not going to give in so easily. Their second chance is not an easy one, they still have a lot to work through and trust is a big issue. The chemistry was really spot on which had me rooting for them even thought there were a couple of times I thought they may not get their HEA.

I really enjoyed and loved this second chance love story. Teagan and Reed have a sorted history and when they are thrown back together while filming his new movie they are forced to see the truths that they may have been hiding from. I loved how independent and self-aware both characters are in their parts and faults of their twisted journey of heartbreak, misunderstandings, and love.
This specific video review will be included in the September 2018 wrap-up.

Title has nothing to do with book. Teagan gave in too easy. I like my book girls to let them suffer more when left at altar and not once visiting in the hospital. Douche main character. argh.

This book can be read as a standalone and not necessary to read book one, but you'll be missing out on one hell of a story if you don't. On to Bare.
Reed is another Hollywood bad boy who needs to clean up his image quickly, due to start shooting his next big film, his face plastered over all the tabloids and magazines in some very unflattering but truthful ways. He's having a meeting with his agent who tells him he needs to get himself together.
Which he promises to try. His latest film revolves around dancing and arriving on the set the director introduces him to his choreographer and instructor. Teagen, the woman he left at the altar 8 years ago. He left her at the altar to take a movie role. She's none to happy. There's some serious animosity here and I don't blame her. But she's decided to leave it alone. It's her job she need to focus on. He wants to talk about their past. She doesn't. What he doesn't know if that along with being left at the altar that day ended her career as a promising rising star. She manages to do her job throughout the story, we see her sister Aria again from Book One and her younger sister Simone.
There are some twists and turns in this one, once their cards were on the table things became a little better between them. Reed is still hot on Teagen's tail. Honestly, it was hard for me to see how she really felt about that. On the surface yes, below that not so much, he wasn't that much easier. You just have to keep reading.
The book is written flawlessly as usual by Sarah, her characters are multi-dimensional and have depth. The plot line was great and the book flowed really well. The emotions are there.
It's yet another must read from Sarah. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Bare by Sarah Robinson is a Hollywood second chance romance with all the feels. After heartbreak and loss, a couple is faced with each other again, can this finally be their chance?
Reed Scott is a Hollywood heartthrob who enjoys everything that comes with that lifestyle. But as a bad boy, he wants to change his image. And accepting the role in a romantic comedy may be just what his career and image need. But then he finds out she will be there. His biggest mistake.
Teagan Reynolds was left heartbroken when Reed Scott walked away from her. She hates him, even as her heart loves him. But she will not be heartbroken again! She is determined to do her job and nothing else. But can she trust herself with her heart again?
Now that Teagan is in his grasp again, Reed does not want to let her go. But she is not ready to forgive and forget. How can she trust him with her heart again? They were once sweethearts and ready for a future together, but then everything changed.
Throughout the entire story we have push-and-pull between Reed and Teagan. There is history and feelings there, but there is so much hurt as well. Add in Hollywood as the background and this is an emotional and angst-fill second chance story.

Sarah Robinson is known for writing about strong and resilient women, and Teagan is definitely both. After the love of her life walked away, it nearly killed her. Now she is determined not to fall for Reed's charm again. Reed was a playboy actor that the tabloids loved to write about. Seeing Teagan again makes him want to change and be the man she deserves. Can Reed prove that he has changed, or will Teagan be left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart again? Will they finally get their happy ever after?
Another impossible to put down book from Sarah Robinson! I can't wait for the third book in this series! I loved it!

This is a level-headed story about second chances and forgiveness. There are no dramatic peaks nor angsty downs, yet the story is heartfelt and develops just great. At some times, I thought that Reed was a wimp and Teagan was a smartass, but the book levels them up and makes them just human and confused.
This book combines dancing and acting in a Hollywood movie, yummy! Hollywood actor Reed Scott has image problems. His wild past came up in the tabloids and bit his butt and his agent is giving him hell. He promises to behave and do some PR to improve his image. His next movie is a romantic dancing film, which is geared toward young and teen girls, so he needs a clean image. He promises his agent he will be good and goes over to the studio lot to start practicing for his new movie. And there he found the woman, the one who got away, the one he will never forget, the one he will never forgive himself for letting go…
Teagan is the choreographer for the movie Break Over that Reed will be working on as lead. She will be in charge of teaching him his dance moves before the scenes are filmed. When they meet for the first time at the studio, her reaction was anger and his reaction was regret.
Reed stood up Teagan on their wedding day eight years ago. Even though he felt justified when he did it, he never got over it. He never looked her up when they parted ways because it hurt too much. Now he wants to talk with her, get closure, and she shuts him down. She was so talented, so ambitious, that he expected her to be starring in dance movies or musicals, not doing choreographies, but she shut him down when he asked. He doesn’t know why, and she doesn’t want him to know. Their stories as they parted ways are very different, he went on to stardom, she to disability.
Reed realizes he made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away from Teagan. If only they had talked, it would have prevented so much heartache. Now he realizes that he wants her back, that he will never love another woman the way he still loves her. They embark on a road of forgiveness, of re-connection, overcoming parental opposition, job restrictions, and social limitations due to their different positions in the film. Teagan doesn’t trust him, he’s still not clear on who he is and what he wants from life. This book chronicles their path to redemption and to each other. It’s full of passion and fights, of distrust and explanations, jealousy and sex. It was a really entertaining read and the pace was just great.

Bare is a story about second chances, fulfilling your dreams and overcoming unimaginable obstacles. Where Nudes was Aria Rose’s empowering journey of rise to fame in Hollywood -Bare is her sister, Teagan’s, inspirational journey of being the dancer she always dreamed of being... while getting closure and another chance with the lover of her life, Reed Scott.
With youth on their side and hearts in their eyes, their love was going to carry them to their future where there dreams would be fulfilled; only to end with bad decisions and regret. Now, with years between then and now regret and anger are all they have left. But lucky for Teagan, Reed knows what he had and is now willing to fight for what he let go back then. Only, Teagan isn’t having it. For her, he had his chance, made his choice and now he just needs to let her do her job for the film they’re working on and let it be.
But a love as strong and true as they have? There’s no ignoring it or the pull they still feel.
This story was much more than a second chance with the love of their lives, it was a truth Teagan lived and how much strength and determination she had to ensure her dreams became true. Her love of dance means more to her than anything and she proves that not even the tragedy could keep her from it.
With how strong and powerful the messages in Nudes and Bare, I look forward to seeing what powerful message we’ll get from the youngest Reynolds sister, Simone and her story.

What if you spent the last eight years of your life in misery and pain, hating the person who caused it but who also happened to be the love of your life? And what if it was all due to miscommunication and a misunderstanding? That is exactly what happened to Reed and Tegan. But it seems that they now have a second chance to make things right, but somethings are easier said than done and even though forgiving might be easy - forgetting is definitely not so.
Tegan Reynolds has finally gotten her life back together. Not only emotionally but also physically. She is determined to never let anyone take her dreams away from her again. And the last thing she wants is to work with the man who broke her. Having to teach him to dance and preform those sensual moves with him is the last thing that she wants. But she also doesn’t want him to see her vulnerability. So she has to stand strong and do her job, without letting her heart lead her head and fall for Reed all over again.
Reed Scott may be in the front page of the tabloids everyday with another one of his sexual exploits, but there has only been one women that he has ever loved. A woman whom he wronged and he still regrets his actions till this day. The last thing he expects is to have her choreograph his next movie and have to hold her in his arms everyday. He doesn’t know how he can ever get her to forgive him, but he knows that he will never be able to love anyone like he loved her.
Will Tegan give Reed a second chance? And can they honestly make it work under the glitter and glamor of Hollywood? The hero may be a Hollywood heartthrob and the heroine a woman deeply hurt, but underneath all the fame and stardom we see that the emotions, doubts and fear involved are all real and very relatable. Sometimes romance tends to play light of all the hurt and doubt involved in giving someone a second chance and we find the hero and heroine forgetting about it all as soon as they come into contact. So it was refreshing to see how much Tegan struggled with allowing Reed back into her life. A constant war between her heart, her mind and her pride, it was definitely not an easy decision to make and we felt every second of it.
As always Sarah Robinson appeals to not only our romantic side but also our vulnerable emotions and tugs at our heartstrings. Another winner from an author who never disappoints!!!

I was given an early ARC for an honest review and you are going to get straightforward and honest. I was admittedly nervous in various parts of this story because if you have read Sarah Robinson before she is known for disturbing your mind, A LOT, but she didn't and it was fabulous for this story. Let me elaborate, the story of Teagan and Reed was like nothing I have ever read from her before or anyone else. Not only was it a second chance romance, but she made you question what would really happen. Would they, or would they not find their own happiness. Whether that was together or separate. She pulled me in with every page, I felt what the characters were feeling; when they hurt I hurt; when they were happy I was happy. She definitely poured her heart and soul into this story and it showed on every page. I am known for skipping little details when I read and I didn't with this book, I had to know all the little details. I also felt the ending was perfect. *Insert tears here, whether they were sad or happy you will just have to read it yourself.* It wasn't rushed like some stand-alone novels are these days, I didn't feel like she missed something by trying to end the story sooner than she should have. Oh and the Epilogue... Perfection! The small glimpse into their futures was what I needed. It was finished when it was over. You were not left with questions.
So, to recap, this is a HOT, Heartfelt, and Touching novel you won't want to put down.
Congrats Sarah on an extremely well-written story.

Who doesn’t love second chance stories with an angsty plot and characters that are sweet and swoon worthy. This story takes you on a chase between Reed the Hollywood superstar and a super talented choreographer Teagan, who he has hurt immensely by leaving her at the altar so many years ago.
The story is written flawlessly, you will experience a tug of war of emotions, especially the art of letting go and forgiving someone that you want to trust but past experiences make you second guess yourself. However, this part of the chase does become repetitive which infuriated me as you just wanted the heroine to make a choice.
Choices need to be made and hearts need to be healed and in the end, you will find a beautiful love story of regret and forgiveness
This book can be read as a standalone but if you like to read about strong, independent woman then these sisters will take you on that journey.

This was my first Sarah Robinson book and now I definitely want to go back and read book 1. Bare can be read as a standalone so I don't feel like I was missing anything. I really enjoyed the story. I had a love/hate relationship with Teagan and Reed throughout the whole book which just made me enjoy it that much more. So much push and pull between them but it made for a entertaining, angsty story.

The past has a way of showing up when we least expect it. For Teagan and Reed, it brings love's worst mistakes and most haunting regrets with it. Bare is the tale of young love gone wrong and fate's determination to heal it. Robinson pens a haunting routine of heartache and immaturity. Emotions flow. From temptation to frustration, the twists are endless, but the end result is divine.

Loved the whole series.

Sarah Robinson has given her readers heartbreak with intensity I cant even begin to describe! Bare broke me and twisted my heart until there was nothing left. Teagan and Reed have a agonizing passionate relationship at times I didn't know if they were going up or falling down. "Teagan why girl why, must you do this to yourself."" that is what I was yelling at her throughout most the book, As for Reed I wanted to punch him in the face thru out the whole book. I still have no love for the man not even any like for him. This book is one of the best from Sarah Robinson the tingling jaw dropping emotions she puts into each page is phenomenal!

Reed just has a way with animals, "the feeling is not mutual," Reed teased, but he was already giving Benson little scratches behind his ears. Benson purred and rubbed against them. "This is weird while I'm naked." If Reed doesn't like something the man goes on a tear, "...are effing stupid," a deep voice growled, suddenly entering the hospital room. "We're bringing in a specialist." I liked this book, I loved Reed.

Another home run for Sarah such an amazing book! I love the chemistry between Teagon and Reed. Reed has alot to make up for especially sense he left Teagon at the alter.
Teagon stands up for herself and is just as brave and focused as her big sister! With alot of hot scenes.
Can't wait to see what Saesh has in store for us with Sheer. What an amazing series this is turning out to. I love how she makes ther female characters strong and independent!
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars

There is a lot of bitterness and heartache when it comes to him but when you are going to be spending a lot of time together again is your heart ready to give this a second chance that is the question Teagan has to ask.
Reed Scott a highly acclaimed actor has been labeled the bad boy in Hollywood but when your past comes barreling back into your life you have to reevaluate everything you have done up until this point.
You can’t help see the chemistry between Reed & Teagan it just pours off the pages but can all back heartache get put aside and forgiven to give it that second chance that is going to be the biggest question.
They will definitely have to go through many ups and downs but watching them get to HEA will definitely be worth the ride.

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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 8, 2018
Reed Scott is the hottest actor in LA…
Being a Hollywood heartthrob has its perks, and I’ve damn sure enjoyed every one of them, both on and off the silver screen. The tabloids loved every second of exploiting my privacy, chronicling my mistakes in ink for the whole world to see. Accepting the lead role in a romantic dance film was guaranteed to make me a box office hit and help me rewrite my image, until the choreographer hired to train me turned out to be the only woman I’d ever loved and lost.
As beautiful and enticing as ever, Teagan walks in and reminds me of the worst mistake I’ve ever made. She should hate me, and now she has the power to destroy everything I am.
Teagan Reynolds is picking up the pieces…
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…never going to happen. I fell in love with Reed Scott once and it nearly killed me—literally. The last thing I want to do now is teach him how to dance, but I need this job and there’s no way I’m letting him take yet another thing away from me.
Reed is in my world now, and this time we’re dancing by my rules.

REVIEW: BARE is the second instalment in Sarah Robinson’s contemporary adult NUDES erotic, romance series focusing on three sisters-Aria, Teagan and Simone. This is dancer and choreographer Teagan Reynolds, and actor Reed Scott’s story line. BARE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Teagan and Reed) BARE is a second chance story line between college sweethearts- dancer and choreographer Teagan Reynolds, and actor Reed Scott. Eight years earlier, on the day of their wedding, Reed Scott left a humiliated Teagan at the altar. Fast forward to present day wherein Teagan, a former dancer whose life was all but destroyed the day Reed walked out of her life, is currently the hired choreographer for Reed’s latest movie role. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship, friendship and romance between Teagan and Reed, and the potential fall-out as their dual careers begin to pull them apart.
The relationship between Teagan and Reed is one of second chances. Teagan’s love for Reed is masked by her hatred and the humiliation on the wedding day that never was, a day that all but ruined her career and destroyed her life. Reed had no idea the damaged caused on that fateful day but eight years later our hero is desperate to renew his relationship in the hopes of a happily ever after. Reed’s manwh*re reputation precedes his reintroduction to our story line heroine, a reputation Reed and his manager are working to overcome. The $ex scenes are erotic, intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
Both of Teagan’s sisters play secondary and supporting roles as well as Aria’s husband Ben Lawson (Nudes #1) and their daughter Tillie, Teagan, Aria and Simone’s parents; Reed’s agent Jason Allen; and Reed’s co-star Elena Stravinsky who pushes a little too hard at trying to seduce our story line hero.
BARE is a story of second chances; of betrayal and forgiveness; of romance, love and happily ever after. The premise is entertaining and edgy; the romance is a back and forth, push and pull between two people whose love for one another has never died but struggles in the face of past sins; the characters are spirited and energetic. BARE is a passionate tale love, betrayal and loss.

REVIEW: BARE is the second instalment in Sarah Robinson’s contemporary adult NUDES erotic, romance series focusing on three sisters-Aria, Teagan and Simone. This is dancer and choreographer Teagan Reynolds, and actor Reed Scott’s story line. BARE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Teagan and Reed) BARE is a second chance story line between college sweethearts- dancer and choreographer Teagan Reynolds, and actor Reed Scott. Eight years earlier, on the day of their wedding, Reed Scott left a humiliated Teagan at the altar. Fast forward to present day wherein Teagan, a former dancer whose life was all but destroyed the day Reed walked out of her life, is currently the hired choreographer for Reed’s latest movie role. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship, friendship and romance between Teagan and Reed, and the potential fall-out as their dual careers begin to pull them apart.
The relationship between Teagan and Reed is one of second chances. Teagan’s love for Reed is masked by her hatred and the humiliation on the wedding day that never was, a day that all but ruined her career and destroyed her life. Reed had no idea the damaged caused on that fateful day but eight years later our hero is desperate to renew his relationship in the hopes of a happily ever after. Reed’s manwh*re reputation precedes his reintroduction to our story line heroine, a reputation Reed and his manager are working to overcome. The $ex scenes are erotic, intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
Both of Teagan’s sisters play secondary and supporting roles as well as Aria’s husband Ben Lawson (Nudes #1) and their daughter Tillie, Teagan, Aria and Simone’s parents; Reed’s agent Jason Allen; and Reed’s co-star Elena Stravinsky who pushes a little too hard at trying to seduce our story line hero.
BARE is a story of second chances; of betrayal and forgiveness; of romance, love and happily ever after. The premise is entertaining and edgy; the romance is a back and forth, push and pull between two people whose love for one another has never died but struggles in the face of past sins; the characters are spirited and energetic. BARE is a passionate tale love, betrayal and loss.
