Book Review – Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige with Signed Giveaway

02/22/2016

Bare Your Soul

Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige

Standalone Adult Contemporary/Erotic Novella

What a satisfying read! I don’t read a lot of novellas, because if I’m totally in love with a story, it will always feel too short, rushed, or missing something. But Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige had almost every element I love in a book wrapped up in a super hot one-sitting afternoon escape.

Angelica is desperate. Her father abandoned her mom and her when her mom was diagnosed with cancer. After years of taking care of her mother before she passed away Angelica is broke and needs enough money to live and pay for college. She needed to make good money, so when she finds a high end strip club, she does a little research and decides to audition.

Morgan Cadwell owns the strip club and many other businesses in the area. As soon as he sees Angelica about to try out, he breaks all of his own rules. He can’t imagine this beautiful innocent girl taking off her clothes for other men. He wanted her all to himself as soon as he laid eyes on her.

Bare your soul quote

So he hires her as his live-in personal assistant instead. Their chemistry was off the charts, but Morgan wouldn’t rush her into anything. He wanted to make sure she was 100% ready for him, because once she was his, he was never letting go.

“Oh, the things I want to do to you definitely border on illegal. But I’ll wait until you’re begging me for them.”

Not only did this novella have a super hot storyline, it also had some suspense and danger thrown in. Seriously everything I love in a book. Honestly, it was a little cheesy and formulaic, but that was OK, it’s what made it so satisfying to read. It had an uber-alpha dirty-talking male, a likable female virgin, insta-lust/love, danger and excitement and lots of super hot sex. All wrapped up in a nice quick bow.

Likes:

  • Hot sex. (Lots of it!)
  • Very satisfying novella that didn’t feel too rushed.
  • Totally hot, dirty talking alpha.
  • Danger and excitement.
  • Likable characters.
  • He waited till she was ready.
  • Read it in one sitting (well, I took a little ‘break’ with Mr. Ana).

Dislikes:

  • Could have been a little more unique.
  • With his dominant behavior and a few things he hinted at, I was hoping for the sex to get a little less vanilla. It was super hot vanilla sex, but still vanilla.

Rating: 4.5 stars for a novella, 4.5 Heat (lots of sex, but pretty vanilla)

STARS_4.5

FLames_4.5

The Down and Dirty:

Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige is one of those books you gobble up like candy. It’s like a mini cupcake. All the flavor you love from a big cupcake in a delicious bite-sized morsel. It was a full story that left me satisfied and I didn’t feel like it was too short. It was like a little quick, comfortable indulgence with all the things I love in a contemporary erotic romance.

Excerpt

“Hey, I thought there was no touching in lap dances?” I tried to protest.
“There will always be touching between you and me,” he answered.
I knew it shouldn’t get to me. I didn’t know this guy and I was acting a part to try to get a job. But holy hell his words and his touch were turning me on and confusing me. If I was honest with myself, I’d admit that there was crazy chemistry between us and maybe—just maybe—I was using this situation to my advantage to see what happened.
“There is no you and me,” I retorted as I tilted my body away from him.
“There will be,” he insisted.
Some of my uncertainty must have shown on my face because his hands gentled and he ran them from my hips to my back and stroked softly. He lightly tugged on the material but it didn’t fall any further. “Show me more.”
I could feel his cock hard underneath me, my pussy resting over it and driving me more than a little wild. I’d never been in a situation like this before. His dark eyes burned into mine and I threw all caution to the wind as I undid the rest of the buttons on my dress. It fell, the material gathering around my waist. Morgan held my eyes as his hands moved away from me to grasp my dress and toss it to the ground.
He practically growled as his gaze roamed over my body. I’d chosen my lingerie carefully this morning, choosing the nicest set I owned. It was white lace, so I was worried it made me look too innocent when I’d picked it out, but I didn’t have a lot of choices. Now I was thrilled with my selection because it fit the role I was playing to perfection.
“Maybe if you’re very good for me I’ll forgive you for being naughty,” he said as he trailed a finger down my chest and snapped the front clasp of my bra open.
His action surprised me, and I moved my hands to cover my chest without realizing what I’d done. He quirked an eyebrow at me in a subtle challenge, like he’d known all along that I wouldn’t be able to stay in character. Taking a deep breath, I remembered the role I needed to play if I wanted this job and forced my arms back down.
“What if I want to be bad for once?” I asked as he slid my bra straps down my arms.
It was like he’d woven a seductive spell around me, making me forget why I was here and all of my troubles. I’d never felt anything like this before. My skin was on fire, goosebumps running along my flesh. My panties were damp and I couldn’t stop myself from rubbing lightly over his length. My body was tightening in anticipation of what would come next.
“As long as you’re with me, you can be as bad as you want to be, Angel,” he whispered before closing his mouth over one of my nipples. Each hand held one of my breasts, squeezing lightly. He plucked at the other one with his finger and thumb, making it pucker with need.
“Ohmigod,” I gasped at the sensation, closing my eyes so I could pretend this wasn’t actually happening.
“Look at me,” he ordered, and my eyes popped back open to find him staring up at me. “You keep your eyes on me, Angel. I want to see every single thought that runs through your head. No hiding.”

I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a differe I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a different genre and completely nail it. I love how The Girl In The Woods is different from all of her other books, yet still has that Kristen Ashley feel. I loved how Kristen surprised me and didn’t follow the expected formula.
The town of Misted Pines is a bit crazy, but let me tell you, if there is another dead resident, I’ll be gobbling up that story as well. I don’t wish anyone dead but…..

I love the unique storyline of this debut solo nov I love the unique storyline of this debut solo novel from Joe Arden, and I especially love when the narrator narrates their own book and I love male POV books written by an actual male! I had a few issues (which you’ll see in the review), but overall I really enjoyed this one, and it is staying in my memory because it was different.

Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you shou Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you should check out Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot. I loved being behind-the-scenes at a cooking reality show! There is a romance, but it’s way more about the exciting cooking show. The heroine is Jewish and there is a very diverse cast.

I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and it was taking me forever to read, then the audiobook released and I switched over at about 60%. That’s when the book really picked up for me. The new season of Drive to Survive starts on #netflix next week and #formula1 starts the week after. I’m so excited for the new season! I am hoping that more of this series releases on audio soon because I love being in the #F1 world.

Another book I really wanted to love, but it was j Another book I really wanted to love, but it was just OK for me. I did love the heroine’s business of awesome salads in a cup! A Guide to Being Just Friends by Sophie Sullivan was not labeled as book 3 in a series, and it was. Though it was able to stand alone, I think I missed a connection because I didn’t read the first two.
