So good! I love the story! Sarah can weave a wonderful story! I loved Reed and Teagan! Second chance romance has always been a favorite. Mending old wounds and being able to get past them to find happiness is something I love! I couldn't ask for a better book to read. I definitely want more!
Received an ARC for an honest review.
Who doesn't love a story about a second chance at love? Reed is a big Hollywood star, but lately his image could use some sprucing up. He hunkers down to get to work on his next project and who is his choreographer? None other than Teagan, the girl he loved and left at the altar.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm glad that they had the chance to work things out, but I'm not entirely sure I could get over a guy leaving me at the altar...I mean, it was paid for and everything. It's not like she could get the deposits back. But I digress. I love that Teagan didn't make it easy for Reed (although, I think she could have made it a little harder) and I love that we got to catch up with her sister who had had her own PR scandal.
All in all, a decent read with some hot spots...but I didn't connect as much as I thought I would. Interested to see where Robinson takes us next.

When love wins and they get forever!!!
WOW....Sarah Robinson has written another amazing book. In this book we get taken on a emotional second chance romance. Both characters are likable and are able to see what past decision have done to the other. Teagan is so strong after all she’s been through and Reed you’ll fine he’s very nice but has lived with so many regrets for leaving Teagan at the alter so many years ago.
Authors Blurb: Reed Scott is the hottest actor in LA...
Being a Hollywood heartthrob has its perks, and I’ve damn sure enjoyed every one of them, both on and off the silver screen. The tabloids loved every second of exploiting my privacy, chronicling my mistakes in ink for the whole world to see. Accepting the lead role in a romantic dance film was guaranteed to make me a box office hit and help me rewrite my image, until the choreographer hired to train me turned out to be the only woman I’d ever loved and lost.
As beautiful and enticing as ever, Tegan walks in and reminds me of the worst mistake I’ve ever made. She should hate me, and now she has the power to destroy everything I am.
Tegan Reynolds is picking up the pieces…
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…never going to happen. I fell in love with Reed Scott once and it nearly killed me―literally. The last thing I want to do now is teach him how to dance, but I need this job and there’s no way I’m letting him take yet another thing away from me.
Reed is in my world now, and this time we’re dancing by my rules.
really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.
Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕
4.25⭐
This was an engaging, well paced second chance romance. That had two really likable lead characters; and a storyline that mixed tenderness, emotion, sweetness and heat really well. And it pulled me in from the start.
As for Reed and Teagan's relationship and path to happiness, it wasn't straight forward or easy and for me, that's what made it or the more believable and enjoyable to read.
And therefore I would happily recommend Bare to others.
Reed Scott is a popular actor whose agent, Jason Allen, says it is time to clean up his image with a new movie being filmed. He has made a few mistakes in his past, most notably losing the love of his life.
Teagan Reynolds is a former dancer turned choreographer who is luckily getting a second chance at life after a car accident nearly ended her life. She has no interest in love after getting left at the altar years ago to a man who put his career ahead of her.
When Reed and Teagan are brought together to work on a movie Teagan vows not to let Reed into her life again. But Reed vows he has changed and has never stopped loving her.
Will Teagan give Reed a second chance to break her heart again?
This was such a great book about second chances and living the life that you want and the dreams you are after.
Reed started off as a bit of a jerk because his image was all wrapped up in women and alcohol and he really needed to focus. It was no wonder after learning about a certain mistake he made in his past and how he ignored everything instead of dealing with it. I was definitely not impressed with that at all!
My heart just broke for Teagan and everything she went through in the past and I was shocked that she actually gave Reed any time at all but then she was a super good person so I did understand! She was such a great character and she really looked at things positively and I was glad she gave Reed a chance.
I was pretty mad at Jason Allen, the agent, a few times for what he did to both Teagan and Reed and how he seemed to put himself above what the two of them both needed.
I was totally shocked that Reed knew nothing about the accident which totally made me mad. How did none of his family and friends hear about it??
Towards the end I was both happy and sad for what Teagan had to grow through on her own with the move and everything.
I definitely saw the twist at the end coming and I thought it was so awesome!
Such a great series!
5 STARS FOR BARE!! What a fantastic second chance romance story. I loved Teagan and Reed's story and they are waiting to tell you what really happened. The story has all the feels and beautifully told. Sarah Robinson writes the best characters I have ever read, strong women and sexy hot men that you can't get out of your head. Do yourself a favor and read this series, you will love it. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley.
Great book! It was very well written and I enjoyed this read! Bare is the second book in the nudes series and can be read in any order! I didn't read the first but I'm definitely going to go back and read it! This is Teagan and Reeds book, they are both actors Teagan hasn't made it to big and Read is more like a superstar!!! They both made me mad at different times for different reasons! They were together when they were younger, but life happened and we get into years later, and neither forgot one another! It's a great Hollywood romance, as one chance story, it's a sexy, heartbreaking, thrilling read!! I highly recommend it!! Thank you NetGalley and Sarah Robinson for sharing this book with me! I look forward to many more!!

Bare is the second novel in the Nudes series, but is a complete standalone and can be read on its own. I personally enjoyed Nudes and think it is worth reading first, just to get to know one of the great Hollywood couples Sarah has brought to life before meeting the next. Main characters Reed and Teagan were once young sweethearts, but both were destined for fame and Reed couldn't let their future jeopardize the hope he had for his young bride. Years down the road, things just aren't what either ever expected or planned them to be. Teagan isn't famous, Reed is too famous, and neither has forgotten the person they once shared a life with. Like all Hollywood sets, you're destined to run into a former flame at some point, in this case it reignited the spark these two once had for each other.
Reed is a famous actor most well known for showing up on the front page of a tabloid, meanwhile his former fiance is the behind the scenes girl on a new movie he's set to star in. Both could easily have their own standalone novels about overcoming the obstacles they have standing in their way on the path to stardom, but instead we get to see them battle each other as the fight their heads and hearts. I liked Reed's goal of cleaning up his image and his ability to fail and keep trying, it felt sincere and was written true to life. Teagan was complicated for me, she'd held herself down with doubting thoughts for a very long time, yet overcame them very quickly. The push and pull between these two could have been interesting had it not been solely based on a trust that I never thought was really established. There's acting, dancing, sweet dates, arguments, and of course, a meddling agent and the paparazzi. Everything you could want in a Hollywood novel. The book even spans a great length of time, which I really liked, but the relationship story just didn't have enough meat to it.
Unfortunately, Bare was a miss for me and that's mainly due to how long it took to engage me in the story. I didn't feel really interested until about 40% and I didn't really feel like I was "in the story" until about 60%, the story just didn't feel real. I hung on longer than I normally would have, because I know Sarah Robinson can tell a great story, based on my previous experience with Nudes. Novels that feature characters in on off relationships can be incredibly difficult to pull off, because just as I would do for any friend, I would beg them to stop putting themselves through the emotional highs and lows. I could see the will Reed had to change himself, but it didn't change my perspective that Teagan wasn't nearly as strong or as proud as she should have been. Yes, the chemistry was there for sure, these two are hot together, but I wanted more from their interactions and I wish some of the drama had happened earlier on.
I think Bare was just a personal miss for me and I think other readers will find the second-chance romance a real winner.
While I did enjoy this book, I kinda didn't like Teagan all that much. I'm not sure I could understand where she was coming from at times, it like she just wanted to punish Reed for making a mistake. By the end I did like her. I loved Reed, he was amazing and tried his best to make Teagan see that he had changed. He showed his vulnerable side and I loved how he showed his emotions and wasn't afraid to show them. I look forward to the next one.
Who doesn’t love second chance stories with an angsty plot and characters that are sweet and swoon worthy. This story takes you on a chase between Reed the Hollywood superstar and a super talented choreographer Teagan, who he has hurt immensely by leaving her at the altar so many years ago.
The story is written flawlessly, you will experience a tug of war of emotions, especially the art of letting go and forgiving someone that you want to trust but past experiences make you second guess yourself. However, this part of the chase does become repetitive which infuriated me as you just wanted the heroine to make a choice.
Choices need to be made and hearts need to be healed and in the end, you will find a beautiful love story of regret and forgiveness
Teagan and Reed have been each other's everything in college. Until he left her standing at the altar.
Now, eight years later, he's a Hollywood superstar, and she's the choreographer for his new movie. They haven't seen each other in almost a decade. He doesn't know what happened to her and her dancing career after he left.
Teagan still hates him - but of course she still loves him too. Just like he never got over her either.
Can the two of them forgive and forget?
Will there be a 2nd chance for a Happily Ever After?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺

HOLLYWOOD ROMANCE!!!!
I just love Hollywood Romances.
And this was really adorable.
A sexy and heartbreaking second-chance love story.
Former Hollywood Bad Boy Reed is ready to do everything he possibly can to get Teagan back. But she's just not sure if she can forgive and forget.
I really liked Reed and Teagan and the story was adorable and frustrating and sexy and Hollywoody. BUT, it was also a bit predictable and the way she couldn't decide if she still wanted him got on my nerves pretty fast. And it takes her the whole book to decide. (Which doesn't mean that there's no sexy time. Not at all - she's just not sure if she can trust him with her heart for the rest of her life.)
I think I enjoyed the first book more ..... But I still really enjoyed reading this story. It was over kinda fast though - it ends at the 80% mark of the kindle file - so don't be surprised!!! That's not really something I like. It doesn't endear an author to readers. The last 20% were only promo for two other books.
And just like I complained about the horrible cover of the first book - this one is again not my kind of thing. Why the weird covers? A dancing girl and guy on the cover would've made sense....or .... anything else really. I don't like the red and black coloring and the provocative look in her eyes? Very weird.
But now I'm really excited to read the book about Simone, the last sister! She's gonna be a singer!
Another home run for Sarah such an amazing book! I love the chemistry between Teagon and Reed. Reed has alot to make up for especially sense he left Teagon at the alter.
Teagon stands up for herself and is just as brave and focused as her big sister! With alot of hot scenes.
Can't wait to see what Saesh has in store for us with Sheer. What an amazing series this is turning out to. I love how she makes ther female characters strong and independent!
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars
Teagan and Reed had a romance that breaks your heart. Young lover version of themselves were lovers with dreams but reality of those dreams brought doubt, heart, and an accident that marked eight years of love/hate and unawareness.
I didn't know how to take the love and mistrust of these two but I totally got the push and pull, rightful resistance. It was a real feel romance that rekindle. A moment of pull back and regroup that was needed from both. Reed was my favorite here because his actions were sound after his head thoughts and reevaluation came into play.
Sarah did Teagan well but her character for Reed is what made me fall head over heels for this book and storyline.
I enjoyed reading this second chance romance. Teagan and Reed had a steamy romance and they had great chemistry as a couple. I liked Teagan most as a character and how she preserved despite setbacks in life. I enjoyed this read and would recommend it.
This book can be read as a standalone and not necessary to read book one, but you'll be missing out on one hell of a story if you don't. On to Bare.
Reed is another Hollywood bad boy who needs to clean up his image quickly, due to start shooting his next big film, his face plastered over all the tabloids and magazines in some very unflattering but truthful ways. He's having a meeting with his agent who tells him he needs to get himself together.
Which he promises to try. His latest film revolves around dancing and arriving on the set the director introduces him to his choreographer and instructor. Teagen, the woman he left at the altar 8 years ago. He left her at the altar to take a movie role. She's none to happy. There's some serious animosity here and I don't blame her. But she's decided to leave it alone. It's her job she need to focus on. He wants to talk about their past. She doesn't. What he doesn't know if that along with being left at the altar that day ended her career as a promising rising star. She manages to do her job throughout the story, we see her sister Aria again from Book One and her younger sister Simone.
There are some twists and turns in this one, once their cards were on the table things became a little better between them. Reed is still hot on Teagen's tail. Honestly, it was hard for me to see how she really felt about that. On the surface yes, below that not so much, he wasn't that much easier. You just have to keep reading.
The book is written flawlessly as usual by Sarah, her characters are multi-dimensional and have depth. The plot line was great and the book flowed really well. The emotions are there.
It's yet another must read from Sarah. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
4.5 stars
*advanced copy from NetGalley and Publisher for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**
Reed is a Hollywood superstar with a playboy image. But this needs to change for the new dance movie that's aimed at teenage girls, Reed needs to clean up his bad boy image and become more clean cut.
But can only think of one girl all the others mean nothing to him, but the one girl he thinks about he hasn't seen for over eight years and she wouldn't want anything to do with him if she saw him.
So when Reed walks onto the new set of the blockbuster movie, he is shocked to see Teagan, the girl Reed still dreams about, as the choreographer, why is she the choreographer instead of the lead and why isn't she the massive star on Broadway (which was always her dream)
And why does Teagan have so much animosity towards Reed? Reed is determined to find out all the questions flying around in his head and hopes to rekindle what they had in the past?? Would Teagan being willing or will she kick him to the curb.
4.5 stars!
I am loving all of Sarah Robinson's books that I have read. This one might be the best one yet!!!
I love second chance romance. I must say while as a whole I loved this... there was still a part of me that was bitter towards Reed for what he did to Teagan in the past. It was slimy and I don't think I could get over it the way Teagan did. But, to each her own!
I loved the man he became and how he won Teagan back.
This was a great book and I love this series!
ARC received for review
This is a stand alone and you won't be lost if you didn't read the first book. I liked it, but it didn't hit as hard as the first book. This was a second chance romance, and way sweeter than the first one. Teagan is just as strong as her big sister. She overcomes the past in a big way, and gets Reed. Reed had a lot to make up for since he left Teagan at the altar, and he does it in spades. Lots of sexy times. Now I'm guessing there will be one more book with the baby sister.
If you're a fan of second chance romances, this is a great title. It was nice to see the main characters each dealing with their own insecurities and struggles and coming out on the other side. Teagan doesn't think she will be able to live out her dream. Reed thinks he ruined his only chance at happiness.
This is one for the romantics for sure.
Who doesn’t love a Hollywood romance?? It’s great to read about celebrities and see that at the end of the day they are just like us, they love, hurt and feel pain the way we all do. Reed was a fool, but I it wasn’t intentional and poor Teagan she got hurt so much but boy did she rise from the ashes.
