Stripped

A story featuring a male stripper and an elementary school teacher? Yes please! This book was a lot of fun to read. It was funny, sexy, and filled with charm. Fallon is a male stripper and not ashamed of it. He's made a lot of money in his chosen profession, thank you very much! When there is a laundry mix up he gets to meet the beauty in 6A. Not only is she beautiful but she's funny and one heck of a mess. Too bad she shoots him down immediately. The next time he sees her is at a bachelorette party he's been hired to perform for. Talk about awkward! She may be his biggest challenge ever but he's definitely going for it! Lots of witty banter, humor, and sexy times fill the pages of this one making it a very entertaining book. I definitely recommend it.

4 Stripping Stars Review By Lisa Late Night Reviewer Up All Night w/ Books Blog Any story that has the word Stripped in the title has to be good right? ABSOLUTELY! Stripped is the first installment in the Happy Endings series by Zoey Castile. What do you get when you cross a male stripper with a fifth grade teacher? A truly wonderful story!! Being honest, I thought there would be more of the "stripper" aspect of this story going in without reading the authors blurb. I was greatly surprised and enjoyed the story so much that it didn't need all that extra "stuff". I fell in love with Robyn, the crazy mess that she is, I can relate to!!! Robyn is not having a good morning, day, week, month...few months. Running down the cleaners to get her clothes only to discover that it is not her clothes in the bag. Turns out they belong to the hot new neighbor living one floor down from her. Zac can't believe his eyes when his neighbor opens her door. That moment, that one connection frozen in time. But then the truth comes out of his profession in the the worst way possible. Stripping at Robyn's BFF"s bachelorette party. Can things ever be the same? You just have to read this story to find out. Heartwarming. Funny. Great character chemistry and a side of drama makes a great read.

Stripped by Zoey Castile Happy Endings #1 Told in first person from dual points of view I had a bit of trouble getting into the story…but…once invested it flowed smoothly. The story is about a woman nearing her thirties in a bit of an early mid-life crisis that leans toward depression and definite job dissatisfaction. She is a teacher that once had her life in order but finds herself scattered and scatty though still excellent with her fifth grade students. One morning, with nothing to wear but what is in the laundry bag she picked up the day before, she finds she has someone else’s clothing and none of it will work for school. The person in question has hers and delivers it to her door that morning and there is instant attraction…and why not…Zac Fallon is one hot hunk of man who also takes his clothes off for a living. Robyn Flores and Zac seem to hit it off at first but then something rather judgmental is said and then there is her principal that is a pain in the patoot and her bff’s wedding that she should be more invested in and…well…what should be relatively smooth sailing really isn’t at all. This book had the feeling of a new adult novel even though the lead characters were 28 and 32. The main thing I liked was the camaraderie of the Mayhem City Revue men and hope that even though Zac may not be going to Vegas with them we will hear more about them in book 2. This was an okay read for me that left me curious about the other men and hoping that some of them will find happiness in the future, too. I kind of wonder what Zac and Robyn will end up doing as their lives, though planned to be together, don’t seem to have a definite direction. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars
