Detective
Reese Bareden thinks he knows what makes women tick, but his ever-elusive
neighbor keeps him guessing like no other. Is his goal to unmask Alice’s
secrets? Or protect her from a dangerous new threat? One thing is certain:
their chemistry is a time bomb waiting to explode. And with no one to trust but
each other, Reese and Alice are soon drawn into a deadly maze of corruption,
intrigue and desire.
You may
remember Alice from Trace of Fever, where she was a scared, downtrodden
secretary forced to work for a Human Trafficker. Alice has grown into an
intelligent, practical women, she has calm, no nonsense approach but is also
painfully shy, which knowing her past, is completely understandable. In this
book we learn a lot more about Alice’s past, family and the kidnapping that
started it all.
We are also
introduced to Reese Bareden. A cop and an extrovert…the complete opposite to
Alice in every way. He is intrigued by Alice, especially after the attack of
Logan in his apartment (Run the Risk). Lucky for Reese he has a cute and fluffy
ice breaker…Cash, his rescue puppy. After crashing on her sofa, Reese finds out
that there is much more to Alice than meets the eye… including facing down more
human traffickers.
There are
many parts of this book that I love, but I really love it when Reese say’s
“Eyes up here Alice” every time she is side tracked by staring at his body. I
also love her vulnerability that she shows towards Reese and Trace. Alice’s
life changes in a flash, she is put in a situation where she has to reveal her
past to Reese, all the while trying not to betray Trace and finally getting a
female friend in Pepper.
Bare it All
earns 5 stars from me; it’s another great book by Ms. Foster.
