review 1: Paisley Bloom set off to see the world and found herself stripping at a dingy strip club trying to keep a motel roof above her head. Because of her naiveté and trusting nature, Paisley finds herself a victim of a vicious attack on her body and virtue. With nowhere else to go and no one to turn to, she heads back home and now must try to heal.Broken and scarred, Paisley becomes comfortable leaning on Chrome’s brother River and the two begin a fun-loving and unconditional friendship. As their friendship begins to morph and change River’s nature becomes darker and Paisley begins to doubt her initial feelings. When sexy and sensitive Diesel steps into the picture Paisley finds herself in one confusing triangle- what is there to do in the battle between head and heart?This... more Girl Stripped was fast-paced and the plot moved along rapidly. However, it was necessary to move events along because we already know much about Paisley from the previous books in the series. This book really gives us a picture of how Paisley feels and just how complicated she is. I couldn’t connect with Paisley like I could with Seven and Star because there were too many inconsistencies in her character. For example, her hair color changed from the last book and her age also changed throughout this book. Therefore, I couldn’t get a clear picture of her in my head as I read her story.Despite the one drawback I still enjoyed this addition to the Hers series even though it didn’t end how I wanted. I am a fan of love triangles and found myself anxiously reading to see who she would choose.I have fallen in love with River’s character and the darkness he hides was definitely a surprise to me while reading. Ever since he was a crutch to Star I thought of him as one of my favorites! I do hope the author writes more of him in the future!Again, this book tackles difficult and controversial topics. I believed the author handled the difficult portrayal of a woman’s reproductive choice very tactfully and didn’t shy away from the emotions one feels after making such a choice. This book may not be suitable for those who do not want to read about such a circumstance.for more reviews viait welovekink(dot)comreviewed by Regan
review 2: This Girl Stripped (Hers Series) ~ by Dawn RobertsonReviewed by Tonya NicholsIf you do not like reading about abuse, sex, or violence, I strongly suggest that this book is not for you. This isn’t your average romance. I was pulled in from the very first chapter of the book; Paisley Bloom is just an average girl, trying to make it on her own. When she needs fast cash, she takes up stripping at a local club. After a horrible exchange with a customer one night, she is robbed of the one thing she always kept for herself, her virginity. Fleeing the pain and horror of the situation, Paisley ends up returning home. This is where the story takes drastic turns and keeps you intrigued. Two hot bikers, one broken girl, all with issues of their own… this makes for one great story. Choices are made, lives are turned upside down, and hearts are broken. Can Paisley make the right choices to free herself?I love when a book makes you think, “Wow, what the heck just happened?” That’s when I know it’s a good one. What I took away from this story is there is always a silver lining in tragedy and the easiest choice may not always be the best. This book is part of the Hers Series, but can be read as a standalone. I have not read the other books in the series, but after reading This Girl Stripped, I definitely will be reading more by Dawn Robertson. 4 stars**** less
