Cover alone will grab the eye before even the first page is turned. Stripped was nothing that like what I expected. Grey’s character is easily sympathized, and every minute I spent with her through these pages was deep and emotional. This young girl with absolute no one to turn too was heartbreaking. As a religious person it was hard to see the deep and blinding view of Grey’s families faith, but the reality is that this is a very realistic situation. For Dawson to be the knight in shining armor that brings that first glimpse of hope was incredible. I loved his character from the start. Movie Star with a deserved bad name finds his redemption in the protection and safety of a needful girl that he just happens to fall in love with. It is a slightly cliché story, but it rose to splendor with Wilder’s presentation. In the end I only have a couple thoughts that brought this story back down from amazing. First, I understand the sheltered and protected family, but I have a hard time grasping that it is possible for this young girl to go out into the world still blindingly naive. As Grey repetitively runs from Dawson she is brought back again and again to the values that were instilled by her family, no matter how wrongly seeded they were. As I watched these situations unfolded I questioned how she could not see she was misguided, and how could she not learn from all of the experiences while on her own. This is simply my impress of the story, and even without it it was a tremendous story with overwhelming emotional story. Every story of Jasinda Wilder keeps me coming back for more. I love her style, and I am always anxious for more. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~
