From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought… Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man crouched down and looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive, was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook. A man who I’d only just begun to move on from. A man who my heart despised—yet my body obviously still had other ideas about. A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy. Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare. Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done. But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client …was there?

    5.0 out of 5 stars 5 STARS! A passionate, emotional, hard-fought second-chance romance!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I’m nursing one heck of a book hangover courtesy of Vi Keeland and The Naked Truth right now. Keeland has landed on my top favorites list – twice – in 2017, and while it may only be July, I’m already sweating the end of this year just thinking about attempting to pick my favorites amongst the fantastic books she’s released in 2018. Unputdownable, all-consuming love stories that I could barely tear myself away from, every single one of Vi’s books left me still thinking about the characters and their stories days later. Every. Single. One.

    Hooked from page one, The Naked Truth drew me in with a perfectly paced plot punctuated with witty, snappy banter that was its own form of foreplay. This couple had an unconventional history—there was no “meet-cute” here. Told in present day, Keeland very effectively builds their backstory for the reader through flashbacks where I felt their longing for and attraction to each other. Gray charges back into Layla’s life, and she never stood a chance against this man’s sheer determination. At first glance he’s cocky and arrogantly sure of himself, but once the author began pulling back his layers, readers saw hints of vulnerability in him that balanced out that confidence and made Gray an irresistible hero. Layla was a perfect match for this man—whip smart, sassy and not afraid to go toe-to-toe with him.

    The push and pull of this relationship was delicious, and this couple’s chemistry in every single one of their interactions lit up the page. In true Keeland fashion, though, she didn’t make this second-chance romance a slam-dunk for them, though. They had to work for their happily ever after—trust had to be rebuilt, and as if that weren’t enough, Vi had lessons for them to learn and battles for them to best along the way. The addition of interesting side characters rounded out a what was already a fantastic story into something truly special.

    A steamy love story with hefty doses of emotion and well-timed punches of humor, Keeland delivered an addictive, passionate romance in The Naked Truth that I simply did not want to put down. Five smooches from me!

    4.0 out of 5 stars One of the most unique second-chance romances I've ever read.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I just have to get this off my chest: I HATE the cover of this book. It’s awkward and pointless; I kept hoping there would be some big moment in the novel where it made sense, to no avail. Thankfully, the actual book far surpassed the cover art. The Naked Truth was fun and flirty, peppered with enough heavy subject matter to keep me invested in Layla and Gray’s story.

    Layla and Gray were both fabulously strong characters. I found Gray’s raw honesty and commitment to never lie to Layla refreshing in a world where so many romance novels are predicated on lies of omission or miscommunication. They both had more than their share of reasons to be distrustful of everyone else, so the stark candor they practiced with each other was the only way they were able to navigate their way to a relationship.

    The Naked Truth is one of the most unique second-chance romances I have ever read. Given the circumstances under which they first met and formed a relationship, they had an entire set of issues to overcome most couples don’t. Even after they overcame their strange beginning life continued to lob all kinds of curve balls at them. I loved that neither of them laid down and just took the beating they were given, and they both fought for what they needed on a personal level with grace and understanding.

    The secondary characters in The Naked Truth were life. They added so much value to the story and gave us such a fascinating insight into the lives and hangups of both Layla and Gray, while still maintaining their places as standalone characters. Even the character I wanted to hate was so well-written I felt more compassion for them than I wanted to.

    I wish the loose ends were more fully wrapped up. There were two subplots that felt like they were just forgotten about by the story ended and I would have loved to have seen some closure for them, especially since one of them was the impetus for most of the plot.

    The Naked Truth is a complete standalone novel. The story is complete in a single novel. The book is written in dual first-person perspective, narrated by Layla and Grayson.

    Gray had a rough go of it. But if he learned one thing through all the curve balls thrown at him it's to follow his heart. This is a unique story about two people with lots of challenges in the relationship. Written very well, with great characters who have hot love scenes,their passion is obvious.

    Reviewed in Canada on August 3, 2018

    I am a big fan of Vi Keeland's writing because she goes into fully developing her characters and engaging story lines to enthrall and capture her reader's attention. The Naked Truth did surprise me however, I wasn't sure if the there was going to be a 'happily-ever-after'. That, perhaps because of life's circumstances and though they were 'the one' for each other, just maybe, the sacrifice to put the other's happiness before their own will will be the end of their happily-ever-after.
    It is not normal for me but I found myself tearing up at the end of this one and a very satisfying ending it was....I hope you find it a swoon worthy as I have.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Beautiful and talented attorney Kayla Hutton first met handsome, sexy, charismatic but arrogant Gray Westbrook in a prison library. She was there as a tutor on community service. This as punishment for violating attorney-client privilege and he was a prisoner for three years, for the crime of insider-trading.

    There was chemistry with electricity flowing between Kayla and Gray even on their first meeting and fortuitously when Layla's months of penalty were fulfilled, she still continued visiting Gray every Saturday for a year. That is until she discovers he was married, a fact he failed to divulge during their many long talks. This brought the visits to an abrupt end.

    Now, imagine her shock and disbelief when she meets Gray again (now out of prison) at a presentation she has been commanded to do for a new wealthy client at her place of work. It seemed that Gray had requested her involvement and against her inner reluctance has to work for him and go on an immediate trip.

    Gray Westbrook is obsessed with Kayla and wants to reconnect with her. He cannot get her out of his thoughts. He seizes the captive opportunity of the plane trip to explain about his marriage, the crime he was innocent of and his hopes for their future. What is Layla's reaction? Will she ever trust him again? Read and find out.

    Personally, reading this excellently written standalone book brought tingles to my spine. The twists and turns in the story made me want to read to the end and I am now starting to read it again.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This author never disappoints. Layla and Gray met during a time when they were both in less than your usual situation. But, one misguided assumption on Layla's part, led to them having not seen each other in over a year, until Gray turns up where she works, needing a lawyer to assist with a new business venture. It becomes the push and pull. Her trying to fight off any feelings for him. Angry with him, and terrified of being potentially hurt by him again. But Gray won't give up. She's been that shining beacon in his life for so long. The thing that kept him going. When he finally wins her over, and it looks like smooth sailing for them, something neither of them could have seen coming, nearly tears them apart. Loved this. I couldn't put it down.

    It took longer than normal to get into this book, where usually I'm hooked straight away from this author. But I love her characters. Especially the male ones. This book took an unusual twist half way through, that I did not see coming. So while this is not my favourite from Vi Keeland, it's still a very good book.
