I have been super skeptical of MC books, worried that the
Alpha grunting of it all would just turn me off. I
avoided the genre in its totality for ages, citing that I
hated Sons of Anarchy and the roar of a Harley did
nothing to jump start any of my engines. However, a few
months ago, a trusted friend who knows my reading tastes
encouraged me to give them a try. "Start with Maisey
Yates", she said. "She's one of the plumb lines. If you
like her, then you can wade deeper."
I, being a good friend who trusted that wise friend,
tucked this information away in my wee little brain,
swearing when a Maisey Yates book next came up for
review, I'd choose to be daring and request it. Thus,
when STRIP YOU BARE arrived in the options pile, I
clicked, not sure what I was going to discover.
Good news to report, folks, I didn't hate it. I'm not
about to convert my reading choices, but much like New
Adult, I think I'll add MC to my repertoire as a
seasoning when I'm in a bit of a rut with my bog standard
go to's. This story got me from the very beginning and
the crafting of Sarah and Micah as characters is so
compelling I was smitten immediately. I love how Sarah
needed to find her true self and how she found it in the
least likely of places, and, to be honest, it was the
same with Micah. Romance novels are at their best when
two folks come together and become even more real and
full versions of themselves. It's like you know if the
two broke up it wouldn't decimate the other person
because while they need their partner, they're not
dependent upon them. Those are my favorites, and I get the
feeling Micah and Sarah are that way.
The new understandings of family Sarah gaines were
simply icing on the cake for a fantastic story. I read
another good MC story recently, and while I feel confident
this is still not a genre I'm going to dive in and swim
around in, it's - as I said above - a good one to season
my other reading with.
STRIP YOU BARE is recommended for folks who like MC
stories (obviously), stories set in New Orleans (of which
I feel there are not enough), stories where two adults
find both home and happiness in each other in new and
exciting ways but are not lost in the new relationship,
and books (it must be said) with acrobatic and ambitious
sex. Because there is a delightful amount of that.
Sparks fly when a society belle and a biker with a troubled
past get down and dirty in the Big Easy. Maisey Yates turns
up the heat in the sizzling finale of a series co-written
with Megan Crane, Rachael Johns, and Jackie Ashenden.
Micah Carpenter hates New Orleans. Hell, after ten years he
no longer has much affection for the Deacons of Bourbon
Street motorcycle club, either. But when the brotherhood
calls, Micah answers. Joining the hunt for their mentor’s
killer, he crosses paths with a Southern belle who exudes
class—and sex appeal. Micah knows better than to mess with
ice princesses: No matter how hot things get, they never
melt. And yet he can’t stop himself from offering her a
taste of the wrong side of the tracks.
Sarah Delacroix understands that reputation is everything.
The daughter of a prominent family rocked by scandal, she’s
desperate to restore their good name. Micah’s exactly the
kind of man she should be avoiding. Behind his sleek and
sophisticated exterior beats the heart of a predator—and
she
knows it. But, like the tattoos beneath his tailored suit,
his rough edges are irresistible. And all too soon Sarah
finds him getting under her skin . . . and living out every
one of her hottest fantasies.
