Last year, I had the pleasure to read Claimed by Stacey Kennedy and met my new future dom, Dmitri. The book is a part of the BDSM series Club Sin. Recently, Ms. Kennedy released the second book in the series, Bared. I greedily ran to NetGalley to scoop up my review copy.Bared highlights Aidan Knight, our hot Club Sin dom, and Cora Adams, his submissive. The first thing I liked about the book was the couple was totally different from Dmitri and Presley from the first book. Aidan's and Cora's dynamic is one of frustrated friendship. They have been in a D/s relationship for two years. They have limited their play to within Club Sin. But eventually, Cora learns she wants more from Aidan than what they currently have.I like Cora. She's a strong female, but like many strong females she tends to hide her emotions when they really count. She has hidden her love from Aidan thinking he didn't feel the same way. Unfortunately, her bottled up feeling come roaring out and she demand all or nothing.Aidan is very likable, an all around good guy, but he's still struggling with the death of his last girlfriend. Aidan truly cares for Cora but doesn't know how to get past the hurt and guilt of Lily's death. He fights to come to terms with his past to create a new future with Cora.The story is emotional and passionate. The interaction between Aidan and Cora compels the reader to root for them. The plot is fast pace and engaging, the characters have depth, and the sex is sizzling. I definitely recommend this book and the Club Sin series. So far, Dmitri is still my favorite dom, but I eagerly wait to see if Ms. Kennedy can change my mind.
