Read this review on my blog! --&gt; <a href="http://gonewiththewords.com/2013/05/30/review-bare-it-all-by-lori-foster-giveaway/" rel="nofollow noopener">Bare It All by Lori Foster</a> Bare It All had all the elements I enjoy from any Lori Foster book…it had sexy guys with guns, danger, and passion, and if there’s one thing I can say for certain about Lori Foster’s books is that they are always steamy! While Bare It All was certainly an enjoyable read, it is a long book, and at times it felt like I wasn’t making any progress with it. We do got a lot of story, a lot of it felt like setup for the next book, which I’m guessing will be Rowdy’s, but we do get the back story into Alice that I know I wanted to get. I enjoyed the moments where Reese and Alice spend time together. They were really attracted to each other from the start and every time they were intimate, it was easy and it was STEAMY. They had a few things to work through, and Alice had a little trouble opening to Reese at first, but eventually they got it together. I think Reese was the perfect male for Alice. He was tough but sensitive. Kind of like a big teddy bear. :) And I certainly didn’t expect Alice to be doing the things she was doing. This girl has balls! LOL The danger didn’t feel as high-stakes as the previous books I’ve read in this series, but there was still a fair amount of it to count. I’m also very curious to see what the conflict will be in the next book as the setup wasn’t too clear on that direction. I liked how this was a sort of mash-up with the Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series. I had actually forgotten that Alice was in Trace of Fever, which is my favorite book of that series. There is a cameo from Trace of Fever that I loved. I’ll keep a mystery for you guys though. ;) So if you’re looking for a steamy romance with some action, pick up Bare It All!

Rating 4 stars - Loved It

First I have to give a huge Thank You to Lori Foster for giving her Men Who Walk The Edge Of Honor fans a little treat with Trace from Trace of Fever (Men Who Walk The Edge Of Honor #2) cameo. Loved seeing Trace again and the back and forth between him and Reese about who can protect Alice better is priceless. Trace rescued Alice from human trafficking in Trace Fever. You do not need to read Trace Fever to know what is going on in Bare It All. Bare It All is Alice story and the after effect from being kidnapped plus more. I would highly recommend reading Men Who Walk The Edge Of Honor series as it is just as good as Love Undercover series.

Lori Foster had me hooked on Reese from Run The Risk (Love Undercover #1). Even though he was not the main character and was not his story, she has a way of teasing the readers with her secondary characters leading up to their book next. Reese is your sexy alpha male Detective who is also sweet and caring. If he thinks someone is being treated unfairly he will step in and does not think twice about the consequences. 

Loved Alice’s character. Her being abducted has left her feeling emotionless, fearless and everything around her does not exist. I loved how she is not your damsel in distress and has no problem going into danger if it will save another woman being abducted. She has a little temper on her.

Oh my was Bare It All hotter than Run The Risk. The sexual tension and chemistry was sexy. Reese knows how to play dirty in the bedroom when he wants info on Alice past. Loved how their relationship seems so real. They are always giving Cash who is Reese’s dog treats when they want to have some love time in the bedroom.

It was nice to see how Logan and Pepper are doing. Awesome moments with them as she is like a mother hen and the group giving him a hard time about it. Getting a little more on Dash. Curious on what is going on with the Lieutenant. Best part is the friendship between Rowdy and Alice. Poor guy does not know what to do as Alice treats him like he is a girlfriend and wants his advice about some inappropriate things about Reese. Alice sure knows how to stir the pot when she is not even trying. She has a way of getting poor Reese all riled up that he always have to regroup. Loved Reese’s little jealousy over Rowdy on how she is always confiding in him. Funny moments when the group is all together. I am so happy Rowdy’s Book is next in Getting Rowdy as Lori Foster has left me wanting more of him and Avery. She already has me crushing on him. 

Bare It All is another winner in the Love Undercover series. The characters feel so real they jump off the pages. It is a feel good novel with tons of yummy alpha males I wish I could take them all home and have my wicked way with them.
