Stripped Down by Emma Hart is a stand alone romance that is set in the same world as Stripped Bare. This is the story of Beckett Cruz, bestie and business partner to West from the previous book and his employee/new wife, Cassie Cruz. This story is absolutely cram packed with heartfelt feels, angst ridden doubt, serious ovary-exploding adorableness and so much more. 
 Cassie is a single mom who is stripping to save enough to get the heck out of Vegas. She has just found out her dad's cancer is back and worse than before and in an effort to also help her parents, she is trying to get more shifts and perhaps try her hand at bartending. 
 Beckett swoops in one night to help her when she seems beyond down. As one of his club's best and most sought after dancers her performance is being affected and he is concerned for her. Add in a whole bunch of tequila and these two wake up the next morning, married. 
 Under the disguise of arranging the "divorce" Beckett begins to insinuate himself into Cassie's homelife and meets her daughter who he falls for as much as he falls for Cassie herself. The journey from realizing they're married to the happy ending is such a beautiful one but it is painful too. As the title suggests, these two are eventually stripped down to their bare emotions. No more armor, no more walls. When they finally get there, it is wondrous. Yet another marvelous tale from the amazing Emma Hart. Happy Release day! Happy Birthday! and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the wonder of Beckett Cruz!
