A really enjoyable story about finding you again in life. Meeting unexpectedly in the middle of a hurricane childhood best friends Logan and Brooke decide to explore the high school crush feelings they had years ago, a vacation, no strings attached fling, yeah like that's possible! Both came into the fun fling, pushing their emotional baggage into the background. Once back home neither thought they'd run into each other, but of course it is a small world and attraction was live and well but the strings were dragging. Very funny, nice light and dark emotional mix; a really great read.

This 3rd book in the Naked Men series is Logan's story. Logan spends most of his time in 3rd world countries helping clean up from disasters and loves every minute of it. He knows he makes a difference in the lives of those he helps. He can be gone to a disaster at a moments notice so he only believes in the "present" when it comes to relationships ... AKA one night stands.

Brooke is trying to kick start her life after a tragedy where she teaches school. She goes to a Caribbean Island to try and get out of her slump. Then a hurricane lands her at the same place as her high school crush ... Logan. They have one night together and then will go their separate ways. But when they accidentally meet in hometown again ... life becomes complicated for both of them.

I really like this series because the people from previous books still are in the current book, because their story is not quite done yet. I recommend this sweet and sexy series!

I received an ARC copy from Random House - Loveswept through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

The next installment of the Naked Men series is another winner in my book. Christi Barth continues to show us hot but surprisingly complicated men who have lots to learn about relationships, both romantic and otherwise .These are stories about a group of guys who had a life altering experience as teenagers who continue to be close friends – unheard of to many men – and their antics as they enter and exit relationships with the opposite sex! Hilarious at times and sad at others. She knows how to keep us up late at night because we just want another chapters or two! Or three or four!

One of the best parts of these stories is the fact that the guys have a webcast where they talk about whatever they feel like saying and sometimes, it gets pretty personal! Logan Marsh is the one who found his injured friends on the side of the mountain years ago. He can’t seem to stay put for very long and feels that he has to rescue everyone as a result. Until he finds out that he has a sister AND one of the guys is sleeping with her! He rushes to get in the middle of that but weather interrupts his journey home. He ends up sharing a bungalow with Brooke Gallagher, a high school classmates from years ago. They agree to have an island fling with no strings and that would have been fine except that he bailed without saying goodbye. When she turns up at his house, he doesn’t know how to react. He’s got a lot to learn about women!

You will definitely enjoy this novel with all the hot sex, stupid guy things, and plenty of sassiness!

This is the third series of the Naked Men .
Logan Marsh is on his way home to meet a "new sister" that he didn't know about. But ends up stranded with an old friend in the Caribbean.
Brooke Gallagher has been friends with Logan since school, but now its different .
A must read to find out if they could help each other and fall in love or not!!!

Giving it all...What a fun and sweet read!!! Definitely a five star recommendation from this reviewer. Two people who want to make a difference on this earth. Two people who see it as their responsibility to put others before themselves. Thrown together a decade after they graduate from the same private high school and stranded by a hurricane on a small private island. Logan and Brooke who were great friends in school but neither ever admitted a secret crush on the other. This book has steamy love scenes and true emotion that just makes you root for a happy ending.

This book has instant chemistry, with that said the author did an amazing job building the relationships not only between Logan and Brooke but with the friends and family throughout the entire book. The book had fun moments and even real conversations that explained reason and emotion that I feel some authors forgot to include, it was refreshing. Although this was a first book from this author it won't be the last.

Thank you Netgally for the read and review opportunity.

I love this series! Giving it All is Logan's story, and boy is it one hot, romantic, heart warming, funny story. I love how the author incorporated the whole ACS guys and the women they have fallen for, or at least 2 of them so far. The chemistry between Logan and Brooke just jumps off the page at you, it's a difficult book to put down, and you find yourself trying to justify whether or not you really need to sleep instead of reading this story all night. The ACS guys are absolutely charming to the core. I love how they will be there for each other until the day they die, and the podcast is hysterical. Madison was a great addition to the group, interesting how Logan and his father worked their way through that situation. Definitely a great addition to the Naked Men series. You will love Logan and Brooke's story.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I enjoyed this book. I had a bit of difficulty warming up to the character of Logan Marsh. Having read the prior books in this series I was a bit concerned, but once I did warm up to him I thoroughly enjoyed this book. His relations with Brooke, the rest of the guys and his protective instincts towards the sister he was surprised to learn he had really helped! Well worth the read! I have to say from the first book of Christi Barth's that I read I have become a devout fan of her work! Love this series!!!

This is the 3rd book in this series but it was absolutely good as a stand alone.

Logan and Brooke are the main characters in this one along with the rest of the crew from the previous books. Logan has a non-realized hero complex and Brooke is a teacher who had some bad things thrown at her. When Logan is on his way back from another hero trip he runs into Brooke. They used to be best friends in high school but that is as far as it went. They decide a no string attached relationship would be good for both of them because Logan was going home to settle an issue and Brooke was going to be moving away so they would never see each other again.

Brooke decides not to move and they run into each other and things go from there. Very quick read and loved the characters! There is a piece of the book that I don't think really added anything to the story but it doesn't really hinder it either. I can't wait to read the other books to see if they are as good. I only gave it 3 stars as I did truly enjoy it but I can't say that it an excellent book.

This book started out well, with an interesting premise and a fun "stranded in the airport/hotel" vibe. I liked it a lot as it seemed to be a light and flirty second chance.

And then it moved to DC and it lost me a little. The light of the story changed to a lot heavier story and the balance of the 2 never totally worked for me. In this instance, I think I liked Brooke and Logan more as a casual couple than I did when they were a couple and together.

I think the pacing was off for me and that left it as a little unbalanced overall.

I sort of recommend this book, as I liked the characters, but overall it wasn't the most fulfilling story.

Giving It All is the third excellent book in the Naked Men series written by author Christi Barth. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House-Loveswept for the advance copy.

I couldn't wait to read Logan's story.

Giving It All is book 3 in Christi Barth’s Naked Men series. It can read as a standalone and Ms. Barth does a great job of giving the reader information they need from the first two books, but I think you might enjoy it more if you read least book 2 (Risking It All) which kind of sets up Logan’s story.

I have enjoyed reading all of these books – it’s a great series – but after reading the first two I really couldn’t wait to read about Logan. In the first books we learned about the five guys who created the Naked Men blog but we never got to meet Logan Marsh. He’s the wanderer – always off helping at some disaster site but we didn’t really learn why until now. I can’t say anything more about that without giving too much away.

Brooke Gallagher is a teacher still trying to recover from a tragedy that affected her deeply. Her parents send her to a tropical resort where she runs into Logan, her high school friend and crush. Logan is on his way home to meet the half-sister he just found out about and is stranded on the island due to bad weather. He and Brooke decide to have a no-strings fling while he waits for a flight home.

Back in D.C. Logan is having a difficult time adjusting to his sister’s relationship with his best friend. Brooke finds him waiting outside of the house he shares with the other Naked Men. He hasn’t been able to make himself go in because of a fight he had with his best friend. Brooke decides to take him home with her to give him some badly needed TLC.

There’s a lot going on in this story besides Logan’s relationship with Brooke. He has to confront his father about the sister he just found out about from his best friend. He has to come to terms with that same best friend, and former man-whore, dating his sister. He has to apologize and forge a relationship with his sister after really screwing up their first meeting via phone.

It was great to finally find out why Logan can’t seem to stop going from one disaster site to another. I love that in each book we get to find out more about the Naked Men while still having the main story focus on the current couple.

Giving It All is another one of those stories that touched all of my emotions. There are some really funny spots – like when one of the guys tells the rest the proper number of times to shake after peeing – and there are some really tender spots like when Logan’s dad tells him the backstory about his “new” sister and when Logan presents Brooke with a gift she never expected to get (it’s not a ring and you’ll have to read the book to find out what it is and why it means so much).

This was just such a great book all the way around and I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

A review copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book. This review will be posted to Xtreme-Delusions dot com on release date.

Logan Marsh is never in one place for long. His life's mission is to go to disaster areas to help those that can't help themselves. While on one of his missions, he gets an emergency call from his friend Knox. What he tells him throws him for a loop. Now he is on his way home from the Middle East, changing planes so many times he's lost track. Landing in the island of Dominica in the middle of a hurricane, to change planes, was not how he figured the last leg of his flight to take place. When all flights are cancelled, he tries to find some lodging and instead runs into his high school crush, Brooke Gallagher. Brooke is here to get her life back in order and snap out of the depression she's been in for weeks. Offering a place to stay at the resort she's booked in, is a win win situation.
Reconnecting with Logan, who happened to be her best friend and secret crush in high school, is exactly what the doctor ordered. After a couple of hot nights with him, Brooke sees a light at the end of her tunnel. Now that they are both back in DC, Brooke is finally making decisions in her life, she wasn't able to face before, all thanks to Logan.
Logan never imagined he was going to feel these emotions, now all he can think about these days is Brooke. He's in danger of possibly hurting her, since he knows that when the next disaster strikes, he will be leaving.
I love the Naked Men Series. I think this is my favorite so far. I fell in love with Logan and his openness with Brroke. Their chemistry was sizzling. I can't wait till the next book in the series!

This book was great. Logan, who has a hero's complex has to decide if giving up his ways of traveling to different sites that need help from disasters is worth taking over the family business. Is missing out on his friends lives and not having a life for himself, including love, worth all traveling. Can Brooke and his friends convince him to finally stay?

I cannot express how much I enjoy this series by this author!! From the premise of these five boys who went through something in high school that binds them together as brothers as they become men, to watching them fall in love one by one. I enjoy reading how each man, who has no intention of settling down, meets and falls head over heals for the one woman who he cannot imagine being without. This book is Logan's story. He is the one of the five boys who was not directly involved in the accident in high school, but it might have affected him more than any of the other boys. So he tries to save anyone and everyone he can by jetting off to disaster areas. On one of his rare trips back home, he is reunited with his high school friend, Brooke, when they are both side lined by a hurricane. A hurricane can cause a storm of emotions between these two friends. But can she be the one person to anchor him when he returns home?
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

I absolutely love this series. It's interesting how Christie keeps the characters intertwined throughout the different books. I can't wait to see what she dreams up for Ry and Josh.

A great romantic escape to curl up with!

For the past ten years Logan Marsh has sacrificed family and friends to help those in. Knowing he’s on call for the next disaster to any part of the planet has also limited him to no-strings, casual relationships which worked well for him until he got stuck on a tropical island and ran into his high-school crush. Connecting like never before they enjoy their time together until family duties call him back. Will she be Logan’s big regret or will fate give them another chance?

Brooke Gallagher loved her teaching job until a heartbreaking tragedy pushed her to quit and get away while she found something else to do. And while her serendipitous reconnection with Logan was fiery hot, he was clear they could have no future because the dedication to his help and rescue missions took him all over the world for long periods of time. But as they’re both back in D.C. they can figure out their own issues while keeping each other good company, right? What happens though when they realize they’re both falling in love? Can it be enough?

Christi Barth provides just the right blend of sweet, sexy and fun in Giving It All. This is the third installment in the Naked Men series which is based on a premise I find very original. Five teenage friends forget a stronger bond after they manage to stay alive after a tragic accident. During ten years they stayed in contact through their Naked Men blog in which they shared between themselves and the world whatever troubled them. They each have their own successful careers but live together now continuing their amazing friendship along with a live podcast of their blog.

Even though we knew about him, because his a disaster recovery specialist we hadn’t really met Logan before this book. He’s a great hero and not just because he’s drop dead gorgeous. He has all sorts of emotional layers. He tries to be a good friend and son. Wants to be a good brother. He’s definitely selfless and wants to make a difference. But he also faces death, destruction and loss. The latter being easy to forget because he made me laugh with his cheesy but romantic analogies and flat out swoon and sigh when he took Brooke out on thoughtful dates and let out all his emotions.

Brooke was also pretty great. She’s easy going yet strong, understanding, and nurturing. All requirements for teaching teens but also a perfect fit for someone whose mother was cold and uncaring. I really liked how she saw beyond the hero and into the man that needed some TLC of his own but stayed strong in her belief that she deserved a man that prioritized her.

I enjoyed Brooke and Logan’s easy back and forth that came from their long history and their progression from friends to lovers. Of course they had a big roadblock to overcome. Logan had good reason for being afraid of letting people in. But he figured it out with the help from his friends and his love for Brooke.

Also a treat was catching up with the rest of the Naked Men, their significant others and other friends who we’ve met along the way. I’m eager to see what happens with Chloe and Griffin as well as get to know the rest of the gang.

Giving It All is book #3 in the Naked Men series by Christi Barth. It is a standalone contemporary romance. Told from both points of view and has a happy ending.

Another wonderful story by Christi Barth. Logan & Brooke have the kind of chemistry together that keep the pages burning as you turn them & having a hurricane be what brings them together. I think Logan might just be my favourite character so far because his heart is so big but that he doesn't see himself as the hero that he is with his friends & family. He's got a few things on his plate, namely a sister he never knew about engaged to his best friend & he's not sure how to handle this surprise. Brooke is trying to get her life back after she had to go through something no one should ever have to & to try to get out of the depression that has come upon her. With their history as friends in high school it made this reunion a beautiful story, but with the emotions they both had & the chemistry between them it moved my emotions quickly. Definitely recommend.

Loving this series from Christi Barth! The characters are realistic and relatable. Though this one started a little too conveniently, it followed through with a good story.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Loveswept for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review

I absofreaking love the Naked Men!!! I have been lucky enough to have read this series from the beginning and the stories just get better and better.

In this story we are able to meet the elusive Logan who is basically not around in the first two books but looks like he is here to stay now. I really love his do good attitude and willingness to be there to help others in disaster areas and putting himself on the front line. There for sacrificing his own relationships.

I liked the relationship between Brooke and Logan and could feel the connection. There didn’t need to be a ton of development between the two because they had a relationship (friends) in the past. They had both liked each other and had crushes on each other but their timing was never right. I love a good friends to lovers romance.

I also liked that Logan could meet and start to have a bond with a sister that he never knew existed. I have actually been in that position so I can totally understand the awkwardness of the situation.

I love the bond between the ACS’s and that even when they fight they are still brothers and have each others back. I would really love to listen to a talk show that they have because I find the male perspective fascinating. Heck there may even be one.

You do not have to have read the previous Naked Men books first.. this can be read as a stand alone.

All in all a great romance to curl up with!

Giving it all is book 3 of the Naked Men series. A series based on a group of men that went through a traumatic experience in HS and the bond created is that of brothers forever.
I have read the previous 2 books and I am sorry to say, this one didn’t meet my expectations. Don’t take me wrong, it is still ok, but not up to par to the others.
I was already inclined two-thirds of the book to give it a 3 star, but it picked up on the last third. So, it’s more of a 3.5.
That said, it was worth to read about Logan, the young boy that had saved his friends years ago. Logan is a wealthy man, who dedicates his life to his family’s foundation. He travels to locations that are hit by a natural disaster, to assist in the rebuilding of the area. Brooke Gallagher, the other main character, is a woman who was a schoolmate, his Spanish tutor , and a good friend. They meet again in the Caribbean in the middle of a hurricane . It started out as a one nightstand, but upon their return to DC, they get together with the understanding that the relationship has an expiration date, since he was plans to leave again to finish his previous work, or another disaster strikes.
That said, the book is more than the basic plot. It’s a story about how traumatic experiences mold you and change you. Whether the experience is of a rescue, or of the inability to help. Can we learn from the experience, without shutting ourselves from others? How far do we take our dedication for a cause, without alienating those that matter in our lives? Food for thought.
Because I believe in the author and in the series, I will now give it a 4 star.
Whose story will be next? I will tune in to find out.
I was gifted this book by Netgalley .The opinions expressed are solely my own.
