Erin Stancliffe has had a troubled past and moves to Bailiff to give herself and her son a fresh start. She is captivated by the old town charm and the friendly people in it, especially when her new job at the district hospital brings her face to face with Jason Cunningham, a bronzed, muscle bound man with a boyish face.
Renowned as the town slut, Jason is forced to reassess his life after a night of reckless inebriation leads to an indiscretion with his best friends ex fiancĂ©. Jason’s reputation is left in tatters as he tries to turn a new leaf and make amends for his previous sins.
Jason is dumbstruck by Erin, the beautiful newcomer but Erin has to look deep inside herself to overcome her emotions and take a chance on someone new.
Amongst blossoming love, tragedy unfolds and Erin has one thing after another go wrong, her relationship and trust in Jason being just one of these as she learns of his promiscuous past. Desperate to protect Erin, Jason is determined to make everything right and will stop at nothing to win back the woman of his dreams.
My Review:
Jason Cunnington wants a new start - that means no more drinking and meaningless sex. After sleeping with Beau’s (his best friend) fiancĂ©, Jason has learned his lesson the hard way.
No matter how many times Jason has asked for Beau's forgiveness for what happened, it still doesn't change the facts: Jason screwed up big time.
Meanwhile, Erin Stancliffe, a nurse, has moved to Bailiff for a change for herself and her five-year-old son, Joey. Erin's past is troubled, yet she wouldn't change a minute of it because of Joey.
Jason takes his employee, Rafe, to get his hand treated for a work- related injury. Jason is so blown away by the beauty in the treatment room, he quickly becomes tongue tied.
But Jason isn't the only one stunned. Erin can't believe the hottie stepping into her room. All Jason knows is that he wants to ask Erin out. But when Jason unexpectedly learns that Erin has a son, he's not sure what to do, though Rafe has the answer: ask her out anyway.
But the damage’s been done and Erin gets hurt by Jason's reaction to learning about Joey.
Meanwhile, Beau's ex-fiancé, Sue, keeps showing up at Jason's apartment, stalking him. It seems she wants him since it appears Beau doesn't want her. Will Jason's past ruin his chances with Erin? Will Erin accept Jason? What will Sue do next? Your answers await you in Stripped Raw.

I've wondered about Jason's story since his introduction in Stripped Bare. Jason’s reputation as a manwhore doesn't endear him to many people. Yet, he does really try to change his ways for the better.
The story just tugged my heart both mentally and emotionally. The story is really raw, real, down to earth, and compelling. The characters are flawed, real, raw, honest, complex, and fascinating. I definitely looking forward to more of this author's work in the future.

I like reading books about a "bad boy" who is trying to be good. And it takes a good woman to make him want to be better!
