Bared is Stacey Kennedy‘s second installment in her Club Sin series.  Emotionally driven with great characters, this book left me breathless and involved.Bared follows Dom Aidan and sub Cora in an emotionally gut wrenching journey.  Aidan might be broken, but not in a traditional or unhealthy way.  I think Kennedy does what so many fail to do – make BDSM a healthy outlet for absolutely normal  individuals.  Yes they all have that piece that is broken, but we all do.  Are we not all broken in one way or another?  No matter how self aware at times we are, our ghosts still linger and can effect beautiful things we might not otherwise see.  Isn’t this our ultimate battle towards happiness>?  This story captures this essence in an expected way.  Pulling us in a tide of emotion and nakedness that so many of us fear.I did come to completely identify with the characters, but it was not an instant connection.  It took a little while to see the whole picture of the characters complex dynamics.  In full disclosure Kennedy did what few other authors are capable of doing.  She made me cry!  I didn’t even see it coming and that is really something special.  The BDSM contained in this book is part of the characters lives, but it is certainly not all this book is about.  Kennedy has created alluring characters and a captivating story.I rate Bared by Stacey Kennedy 4.5 out of 5 Bullets and received Bared directly from the publisher/author for the purpose of providing an honest review.
