Stripped was fantastic. Jasinda Wilder writes so beautifully you really feel what you're reading. She created an incredibly tortured character in Grey and made you understand her completely. Grey was just as strong as she was fragile. Dawson calls her a 'contradiction' and he couldn't have been more right. Grey was a character that you really felt that complexity and understood it completely. I loved that we spent time in her past to see where she came from and what's she's fighting against. The instant connection between her and Dawson was palpable. She felt something from him that she never had before and that elicited panic within her. Her innocence and naivety controlled that panic. Dawson kept proving himself over and over to her. He treated her with such reverence I don't know how she didn't completely fall faster than she did. Every word he confessed to her about his life and his feelings for her will make you fall in love with Dawson too. He believes in her, him, them and continually proves it to her; forcing her to believe in them too. It's a great story about a great love. I would remiss not to mention Ms. Wilder's writing again. She really makes you feel. Her descriptions are so detailed even without so many words. One example is 'Dawson's touch is hypnotism made flesh'. That's powerful way to describe what Grey is feeling through Dawson. There are so many more examples too. Stripped was engrossing. A must read.
