For anyone who has had a Hollywood crush, this is the book for you!  From the time Grey Amundsen first lays eyes on Dawson Kellor, I was in love with this book.  When she described Dawson as a mix of Brad Pitt, Henry Cavill (OMG!!!) and Josh Duhamel, I knew that I was reading my dream book.In Stripped, Jasinda Wilder tells a sweet, romantic, yet sizzling love story about an innocent southern girl who goes against her strict upbringing to seek out and live her dream of going to college and working in the film industry.  When she finds herself desperate for money, she makes the choice to get a job doing the only thing she could to survive.  Taking a job as an exotic dancer made her sick; however, it was the only choice she had.  Little did she know that she was about to meet a man who would help her find herself, find love, and find a lifetime of happiness.Dawson Kellor was a typical rich Hollywood brat -turned superstar.  He was the hottest playboy on the planet and could have any woman in the world, but one night at a strip club changed his life.  Dawson saw Grey's physical beauty, but he also saw a glimmer of innocence that was hidden behind the sensuality of her dance.  He knew nothing about her, but he knew she didn't belong in a strip club, and he knew he wanted her for himself.As a southern girl myself, I enjoyed the conflict Grey experienced in her own soul over dealing with the life she wanted to live and what she had to do to have it vs. the life she had been brought up to live.  Add to those feelings of unease, a strong desire for Dawson, which she had never felt for anyone, and she finds herself in an even larger state of personal conflict.My favorite thing about this book is that it has my favorite formula....girl and sweet, wealthy,  Alpha Male fall in love quickly and battle life's obstacles together....instead of battling each other through 70% of the book.  She also delivered my number one requirement, a HEA!Don't miss out one of the best books of the year.  I read it in one day and it was well worth the book hangover that resulted.Thanks Jasinda Wilder for writing my fantasy story!  You rock!
