“His face was close to mine. Very close to mine. My eyes dropped to his mouth. Tequila wanted him to kiss me. Tequila wanted me to kiss him”
Emma Hart surprises readers with this sexy heartfelt erotic romance that lays bare the vulnerabilities of its characters. Stripped Down was a perfect blend of eroticism, romance, and heartwarming moments.
“I was fucked, no matter how you looked at it. I wanted my boss. My accidental husband. Shit.”

Cassie is a single mother of a six year old daughter and in order to make ends meet, she had to turn to stripping. This is not the career that she had wanted for herself but this is the career that she must do. When Cassie receives bad news regarding her father’s health, her mind wanders and so she did not give her best performance on the stage and so she is called into Beckett Cruz’s office to discuss what is the matter. Next thing you know, tequila and sexual attraction to Beckett was the only thing whirling in Cassie’s mind.
“He was forbidden. I couldn't have him.I was damned if I didn't want him.Then again, I was damned if I did.And I did.”

Blame it on the alcohol or probably blame it on Beckett Cruz and his domineering sexual presence, that Cassie finds herself Mrs. Cassie Cruz. The next morning Beckett and Cassie tries to recall what happened to make them get married. As they scramble to get an annulment, it gets a bit complicated and so they find themselves still married. It also doesn’t help that Beckett slowly warms his way into Cassie’s daughter heart and possibly into Cassie’s as well. Will this former stripper find himself stripping down the walls of Cassie’s guarded heart?
“Say what you want about us, but this isn't over, Cassie Cruz. Not by a long fucking shot.”

Stripped Down was a fun, sexy, and steamy read that will set hearts fluttering as Beckett Cruz will melt those panties and e-readers with his dirty mouth. So if you are looking for a romance that blends heart and steam in such a touching and endearing manner then this book is definitely for you.
