** 3.5 STARS **Josh and Abigail had a one night stand five years ago. Now, Abigail is a struggling single mother with a four year old daughter. Stripping is not what she loves, but it pays the bills, puts food on the table and a roof over her and her daughter's heads. Then one night at work, she is met with Josh again. Josh doesn't quite understand how Abigail ended up stripping & he's determined to get to the bottom of it. What he didn't expect to find was a daughter he never knew he had. With this knowledge, he's not walking away from his daughter and Abigail now that he has a chance at a family and will do anything to keep them by his side.The Naked Truth was a solid read which I enjoyed for the most part. This is what I would call a 'feel good' romance as it doesn't involve heavy drama and angst. Rather, it's a sweet story about the reunion of two lovers finding their way back to one another. It's definitely a sweet little story with a pinch of sexy and a happily ever after.Considering that this story is a novella, I thought that the characters were developed and I enjoyed spending time with them in this story. Hailey was adorable as any four year old would be and Josh and Abigail were likable characters. However, I had a few problems while reading The Naked Truth. Although there were some sparks, I felt that the chemistry was lacking between Josh and Abigail. Another issue was the pacing of the story. I felt that the pacing of this story moved very fast. Although I enjoy fast-paced stories, The Naked Truth moved rapidly and with that I felt that it disrupted the flow of the story.Despite those reasons, I still enjoyed The Naked Truth and thought that it was a solid & sweet read overall.
