Synopsis
Two polar opposites—she’s kinky, he’s uptight—discover they share a taboo desire that may destroy both their futures.
Firefighter Dani Harris has always wanted a family, but doesn’t think it’s possible because of her demanding, high-stakes career. Her sex life is as high-adrenaline as her job, and that’s just one more thing that makes her unsuitable to be a wife and mother. Her secret kink—exhibitionism—has gotten in the way of more than one relationship. Will she ever find a man who not only shares her wild fantasies, but loves her for them?
Burdened with ensuring the success of the struggling family business, William Caldwell IV needs a wife suited for a CEO—one with money and connections, who can manage his busy social life and raise their 2.5 children. He’s got everything all mapped out, but when he meets Dani, a woman who’s every kind of wrong, she taps into desires he’s only half-recognized and long-suppressed. Suddenly his carefully crafted five-year plan feels as confining as a straightjacket.
As Dani and Will’s sexual experimentation escalates, they test the limits of polite society by baring all and risking exposure—an exposure that could cost them their reputations and careers.
4.5 star review by Jen Skewes
Will is the CFO of his family's business and the only one of the brothers who is not a firefighter. Will is known to be a little up tight and stiff. He is trying to hold onto the family business and at the same time find the perfect woman to be his wife. He has a reputation to uphold if he wants to be CEO of the company. He needs the perfect woman, to be by his side at all times. He needs a trophy wife. Will has a 5 year plan. But when the sexy, feisty, firefighter Danielle comes into his life that plan could go right out the window.
Dani is a strong, sexy, firefighter who is completely dedicated to her job. She hasn't had much luck in the love department. She is an exhibitionist and in the past when she tells her lover about her little sex kink, they tend to walk away. She hasn't found that man who can share the same sexual preferences that she does. She frequents sex clubs, but it's not the same as finding someone who will accept and share her fetish with her.
When she finds herself needing a place to stay for a month while her apartment is being renovated, her boss and good friend Jamie Caldwell has the perfect solution. She can stay with his brother Will. Dani has been a "member" of the Caldwell family for quite sometime. She doesn't really have a great relationship with her mother, so Jamie's family has been like her surrogate family. And his brother Will, has been the man who she has wanted for quite some time. Will and Dani are complete opposites who have never really been friends in any way. They get on each others nerves, know how to push each others buttons. But despite all that when the banter starts between these two you can feel the sexual tension dripping off the pages. They want each other, there is no denying it, but they both know that it can never be more than sex for them. Dani is not the type of woman that Will is looking to spend his future with. So they agree to a non exclusive, sex only relationship that stays between just the two of them, for the month that Dani is staying with him. But things start to get complicated and feelings start to get involved.
Will love being with Dani but he keeps telling himself that she is not the right person for him. Dani causes him to lose control when he is with her. She brings out emotions and desires in him that he never knew existed. He knows about her fetish and instead of walking away, he embraces it. Dani helps him open up to a whole new world of sexual pleasure that he never thought was for him. He realizes that a lifetime of vanilla is not for him. He loves the sexual experiences he shares with Dani, but that is one of the things that scares him the most. He has an image to uphold, a reputation to protect. If people found out what he did behind closed doors, that could all be ruined. And if anyone finds out that Dani is dating her boss's brother and likes to frequent sex clubs, she could lose her job. Will Dani and Will go their separate ways to save their careers or will the decide that love is worth the risk?
First I need to say how hot and sexy Everything Bared is. Will Caldwell is sex on a stick. The first time him and Dani are really together, his dominant side comes out and oh my god!!! The sex scenes are hot and steamy! But there is more to this story then just the sex scenes. There are emotions involved. I felt bad for the two of them. they fell for each other and even if Will couldn't admit it at first, he fell in love with Dani. But they both have careers that they love and are afraid to put on the line because of their relationship. Will was so torn between what he really wanted, Dani, and what he thought he should have, which is the prefect trophy wife. What I loved about the two of them was their communication. Dani opened upto him about her fetish, even though the fear of him running away was there. But Will was willing to try it for her and for their relationship. But what we see is that Dani and Will tend to have more in common than either of them expected. Dani brought something out in Will that no one else ever could. She helped him become the person he really was and not the person he thought people expected him to be. They were so perfect together.
Will and Dani's journey wasn't an easy one. There were a lot of twists and turns along the way but neither one of them gave up. they are both strong people who fought for what they wanted and fought for each other. Everything Bared has jut the right amount of everything. It is fun and sexy, with the right amount of drama and suspense. Another fantastic job by Ms. Cayne.
Excerpt
When he rounded the corner into the kitchen, she almost choked on her coffee. Shit. The
man was a walking, talking advertisement for Brooks Brothers. She’d teased him about wearing
a tie to a barbeque once, but the truth of the matter was that Will wore a suit like he was born
to it. The light gray fabric of his jacket molded his wide shoulders and chest to perfection,
reminding her of the man in her dream. His trousers hugged thigh muscles that rippled with each
step he took toward her.
Pure suit porn.
A few feet away from her, he stopped and surveyed the kitchen, his brows furrowing into a
deep V. “What’s all this?”
She flipped her ponytail over her shoulder. “Breakfast. A meal generally eaten in the
morning.”
“Ha. It looks like you’re expecting your whole platoon.”
Ignoring his sarcasm, she slathered butter on her toast, then indicated the chair across from
her. “Sit. Have some.”
A resigned expression on his face, he pulled out the chair and sat. He sipped his coffee and
nodded. “I see you found my Caffé Vita.”
“S’good stuff,” she said around a mouthful.
A corner of his lips quirked up as he regarded her with amusement. “Do you always eat this
much?”
She set her fork down with more force than she’d meant. Why did men always make
comments about how much or how little women ate? “What’s it to you?”
“Nothing really. It’s just most women I know don’t eat anything if it isn’t green.”
“Then you know the wrong kind of women,” she said before shoveling a piece of toast
loaded with egg into her mouth. Yeah, she knew it was bad manners, but fuck him. She took a
sip of coffee to help the food go down, and that’s when she noticed he hadn’t taken a single bite.
“What’s wrong? You don’t like eggs?”
“I usually eat cereal.”
“Really? All I saw was a box of that bran crap my mom used to force down our throats when
we were constipated.”
His face turned red. “Don’t you have a filter?”
“Didn’t think I needed one. We’re roomies now.” She tried not to laugh, but the expression
on his face was priceless. And she couldn’t help poking at him just a little more. “If you’re
having a problem, I could pick up some Metamucil for you.” She grinned.
