Alice Appleton hides her past but gorgeous neighbor Detective Reese Bareden is on a mission to get her to BARE IT ALL. Alice had been instrumental in taking down brutal human traffickers and still fears retaliation. She's so use to hiding things that she isn't sure she can do otherwise, even with the sexy cop who stole her heart when he adopted an abandoned puppy.

Reese is attracted to his sexy neighbor and wants to ferret out her secrets. That's the cop in him. The man in him wants oh so much more than her secrets. Then as her past comes to light he is prepared to protect and serve in any way necessary or desired. As secret after secret is revealed they are drawn into a maze that leads to corruption, drugs and a desire that neither of them expected.

BARE IT ALL is dark, edgy, fantastic, and funny all rolled into a breathtaking thrill ride. Lori Foster has a way with capturing the way men and women deal with life; allowing you to see the tragedy and triumph from both sides. Readers of Ms. Foster will probably recognize Alice from Trace of Fever, but whether you have read that book is absolutely not necessary to the enjoyment of this one. There are some books that I read slowly to appreciate every word and this book is one to savor!

If you haven't read any of Ms. Foster's books you are missing stories filled with intensity, romance and the complications of life; men with honor despite sometimes having secrets and a dark past and women with strength and the ability to love these men. I am so ready for the next of this series.
