Stripped Bare by Susan Mac Nicol

Though two years past, Matthew Langer is still getting over the death of a loved one. He's steered clear of serious relationships, but when he meets the irascible, dirty mouthed and tempestuous Shane Templar that decision has never been harder. Shane is sexy, warm and funny, and Matthew finds himself trying like hell not to care about him. Especially when Shane, with his quick wit and hacking skills, is quick to stand up for justice and avenge wrongs. Then Shane strikes at the wrong target, and Matthew realises just how far gone he already is. At the threat of losing for good yet another man who’s broken through his armour, Matthew finds his heart stripped bare. He must face the demons of his soul or a future without love.

Melanie's Review

4 STARS

I'm not going to lie..this is the first book I've ever read with full on M/M...and I was more than a little surprised when I read the synopsis, but I was also very interested in reading it because I knew it would be a very new experience for me.

After reading this story, I was definitely pleasantly surprised. There was a mix of sex, love story, and drama. There was always something happening in the book, so it never got boring and kept my attention thoughout the entire book.

I thought all of the characters were very well described. Matthew and Shane are the main characters and are two very likeable guys. Matthew is very organized and put together but he has a lot of issues that he needs to deal with from his past. Shane is the immature, funny guy who tries to help Matthew move on and live again.

The only part of the book that bothered me was the first chapter; I did not understand why it was in the book; it felt very out of place and did not fit in at all.  Also, after the first chapter, I expected David to be a much larger part of the story, which he wasn't. I think he was a very interesting character and he deserved a much larger part or maybe his own book. :)

Overall, I think Susan did a very good job writing this book. I definitely enjoyed it and I am very glad that I was given the opportunity to read it.

"Shane continued whispering. “I would love to break that control. See you beg, hear you say my name as you beg me to fuck you. Watch you let loose and just be yourself. Oops, sorry, I didn’t mean to swear. You can cane me later.”

“I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there with you. I should
have been. I don’t care what happened in the past. We were meant to be together, I know that. I’m just sorry it took something like this for me to be able to tell you that.”

About the Author:

Sue Mac Nicol was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom. At the age of eight, her family moved to Johannesburg, South Africa where she stayed for nearly thirty years before arriving back in the UK in December 2000.

Sue works full time in the field of regulatory compliance for a company in the financial services industry in Cambridge. But she still finds time to work until the small hours of the night doing what she loves best – writing. Since her first novel, Cassandra by Starlight, was penned, introducing the debonair Bennett Saville and his lovely lady, Cassie Wallace, Sue has since written the other two books in her Starlight trilogy.

She currently has five further novels completed, and at various stages of publication, ranging from two rather sexy gay male romances- her current passion, plus a paranormal suspense series and an erotic crime thriller. She enjoys the element of gay male romance in her books and this thread runs many of them, including her Starlight series. Her passion is keeping herself busy creating worlds and characters for her readers to enjoy.

Sue is a member of Romance Writers of America and Romantic Novelists Association in the UK. She is also a member of a rather unique writing group, called the Talliston Writers Circle, which in itself has a story all of its own to tell.

She lives in the rural village of Bocking, in Essex, with her family. Her plan is to keep writing as long as her muse sits upon her shoulder. Her dream is to one day be able to give up the day job and get that big old house in the English countryside overlooking a river, where she can write all day and continue to indulge her passion for telling stories.
