I loved this book it was a cute and exciting read. I also liked how the author made Beck’s insecurities a real thing because it’s slmething the majority of not all girls would have going on. Also I loved Mal, he was sweet, understanding, and very hot. It was a fast paced and quick read but it was done very well that nothing felt left out of the story.

This book gave me just what I wanted!!! A sexy sweet, and funny HEA!! The story of Beck & Malcolm was awkwardly sweet from the start. After Malcolm (male dancer) rear ends Beck---no pun intended the shenanigans begin! 😉

I mean, really?!? How would you act if the guy you have been flirting with via text turns up to be the star of a male review that you and your fellow bridesmaids are attending on the Vegas strip?!? 😳🤫 Well, you just have to read the book to find out!!! 😘

This book was awesome! Loved every minute of it. You can not judge a person by where they work or what they do for a living. This book kept me on my toes and I would love to read more from the author!!! A+++

Stripped, a novella by Tarrah Anders is a fun entertaining story that features out of a job Rebeckah and Malcom an ambitious exotic dancer and aspiring businessman. Rebeckah is having a bad day and add insult to injury she is rear ended by Malcom.
Malcom is smitten with Rebeckah from their first encounter and takes any opportunity he can to ask her out; coffee, lunch or dinner, he isn’t picky. Rebeckah is a little more reluctant to Malcom’s advances and has even more reservations when she discovers he takes his clothes off for a living. Can a new relationship survive jealousy?

Both Rebeckah and Malcom are easy to like characters. Rebeckah’s feelings about Malcom’s profession and the jealousy she experiences is very realistic and understanding. Malcom is persistent and all kinds of adorable as he pursues Rebeckah. He is understanding and patient as Rebeckah struggles with her emotions.

This was my first book by Ms. Anders and I very much enjoyed her writing, it was good and smart.
I did find a few typos with the copy I received from the publisher and NetGalley. I am hoping these were corrected in the final publication.

4/5 Stars

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read Stripped by Tarrah Anders for an honest review. All opinions are my own!

To be honest, what first caught my eye was the cover, I had to request that book!

Rebeckha is having a super bad day, losing her job, car accident... then she meets Malcolm, a male stripper, and it gets steamy... Beck and Mal are made for each other!

This was a short read and I loved it, I couldn't put it down! The story flows, it's interesting, you get attached!

My first time reading this author and now I want to read more!

Ooo this was something! This is my first Tarrah Anders book, and I could not put it down, I read it in like 2hrs! I really enjoyed it. There was so much more to this book. It was different.
I loved this quick read, the pacing was great and I loved the humor. These two were made for each other. Once I started I couldn’t put it down until I was done. Tarrah Anders has once again pulled me right in with her writing.
This is definitely a must read! I highly recommend it!

This story was cute, but I had problems with the insta-love. It was a little too much that Malcolm continually pressured her into seeing him, and then she doesnt fall for him until he’s grinding on her. There is no solid base for this relationship, which bugged me the entire time. However, I did enjoy the concept of him being a stripper himself. It was interesting to read from that perspective. Overall, this was a quick fun read, but nothing too special.

I received an arc from Netgalley. Usually you have a book and the stripper is female. This book is the opposite and Mal is a male stripper trying to make a better living for himself.

Rebeckha is out of a job and while doing wedding activities as a bridesmaid she realizes the guy she has been hanging with is a male dancer. With that comes lots of insecurities and jealousy. Mal and Bek need to work through these insecurities.

Don’t worry there is a HEA ending. 3.5 stars for this book.

Stripped was an excellent quick read. From the very start you are pulled in and entertained. Beck and Mal are awesome together. From the way they meet to how ther romance evolves, Stripped will have you hooked. The way Mal talked was a bit annoying at first but the story line was so good that I got over it. Overall this book is one I think all will enjoy.

Rebeckha is struggling when she meets Malcom. Her friend invites Malcom to be her date and things heat up from there. Malcom is a stripper, will Rebeckha be able to overcome her jealousy? How will a relationship work between them? A short, sweet read.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving my review.

A novel of a male dancer set in Vegas! Sold! I loved Malcolm as a hot male dancer who meets the love of his life when he rear ends her with his car. Becks wanted nothing to do with Mal at first, he had to wear her down to get the date. I loved that he is ambitious and more than just a sexy face and body.

Anders wrote a book that makes you fall in love with Mal and see male dancers as a humans with real problems. Along with getting Vegas correct. ( I live in Vegas).

PLEASE write Jacks story! We all need to learn more about him.

Stripped is a funny, easy-to-read novella about taking a chance on love and seeing beyond outward appearances.

It’s no secret I enjoy a romance book from time to time to break up the rest of my reading and Stripped was a fun way to spend an afternoon with characters that I liked, dealing with relationship problems and finding ways to work through them. Malcolm and Beck meet when he hits her car and, intrigued by her, tried to pursue a relationship. This is strained by the fact that Malcolm is a male dancer and Beck has a hard time keeping a perspective on who he is on stage and who he is with her. Their reluctant relationship hits plenty of snags and they both have to have open, frank discussions about their insecurities, which is great to see.

The whole thing reminded me a bit of Magic Mike while I was reading it and that was kind of fun, but it’s its own story, and the fact that we get both sides of the story from the dual perspective really adds to the world.

I would have loved a more in-depth look at their relationship, but the novella-length prevents that. For a single, stand-alone story, it’s a lot of fun.

I gave Stripped 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I liked this book. I didnt love it.
It was shallow and wasnt my favorite ever. If you are just looking for a filler read to clense your pallet it will work great.
Sorry this is so short but I dont have alot to say either way.

I didn’t think that a stripper could be romantic but I was wrong. It was a very believable romance.

Basically, this book is about trust. But, how can you not be jealous when your boyfriend is a stripper??
Trust, right? that's the key point. Very easy when you are looking at it from the outside. But honestly, who wouldn't be jealous? at least, from time to time...
This is Malcolm and Rebeckha's story. They met each other when Malcolm hit her car while driving. They like each other so they continue their meetings as friends. When things evolve, Beck has to decide if she can overlook his job or if it is impossible to have a boyfriend who strips his clothes for other women every night.
I was disapointed. The blurb was really promising. And I had imagined a totally different story. Overall, I found it dull.

Falling in love is hard. Falling in love with a male stripper is super hard. A novella about falling in love when you least expect it with the last person you ever thought you would end up with.

I swear I've read this before... it seems so familiar.

I enjoyed this!. It's not a drawn out slow burn romance. Malcolm knew Rebeckha was going to be something special for him. I wouldn't say insta love ... but it's pretty damn close. It's sweet and funny with some real hot moments.
I loved Malcolm all tall dark and sinfully delicious. That man is perfect! He's just the right amount of cheeky with dash of cocky, a sprinkle of sweet and a whole lota of sexy. He's caring, understanding and so freaking patient. And that man has MOVES!
Rebeckha was cool to. Very relatable as a character, her insecurities while at times became frustrating were also what made her human. She couldn't help the way she felt but she understood there was no need to feel that way. She's logical,sweet and fiesty!. I respected her character and enjoyed having her POV and reading how she worked through her issues to get her man!.

I loved them together! Super sweet and the chemistry was on fire!!!! Those dance scenes ... man that shit was hot!. This is a quick romance filled with a little humour, a lota hot and some super sweet. It's two people falling fast, learning to be together without compromising who they are as individuals. It nothing to deep or angsty, It's just right for a light read.

I kindly received this ARC from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

High points for Mal. He owned who he was and what he did. He was not ashamed and handled his business. It was a means to an end. He worked for what he wanted. He was the same way in his pursuit of Rebeckha. He flirted and remain persistent in his actions. Beck resisted Mal for a while. When she found out about his job and decided to date him it was hard on her. I felt her reaction were realistic. the story is cute and sexy with some fun dialogue. The conversation at the beginning over the car was what grabbed me. I knew I would love Mal. Good story with good writing.
