Stripped (Stripped Book 1) by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Beverly Finnie

Stripped by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What is there to say? Stripped(Stripped Series book 1) by Stacy-Deanne was interestingly captivating, a story about a murder with a forbidden fruit sub-plot.
We meet Dee, a Baltimore homicide detective, who just recently partnered with her least favorite person in the precinct Connie.
Unfortunately for Dee, the case Connie and her responded to involves her ex Grayson Paul as a prime suspect. Grayson Paul being in her life once again puts a strain on her current relationship with Winston. Dee dealing with that strain finds herself drawn to the next suspect on the list, Jonathan Wild.
When Dee and Connie go to visit his compound, Jonathan makes it his mission to get Dee to join The Circle aka his family. Once Jonathan is able to get Dee alone she struggles with her attraction to his life and world. Jonathan being a forbidden fruit she knows is completely wrong for her but can’t stay away.
A page turner in its own right, you want to know what Dee will do next. Will she fight for her relationship with Winston? Will she give into Jonathan’s advances and manipulation? Will she be able to see clearly enough, to break the case Connie and herself are working? Is Grayson responsible for Autumn’s demise? Did her past involvement with Jonathan become her undoing? All that and so many more questions will have you unwilling to put the book down till you have your answers.
Trust me when I say you will get sucked in till the very end, as if Jonathan himself is manipulating you to see the story through.
It will not disappoint!
