4.5 of 5 Stars!
Cora and Aidan are the perfect Dom/Sub couple on the surface. The thing about submission is to go beyond the surface. After spend over two years together and being exclusive to each other in the club, Cora has fallen for her Dom in more ways than one!
Cora is fun and feisty! A free spirited woman that knows what she wants. The problem with that is she wants her Dom and not just as dom. Cora’s submission falters when she can no longer contain what she truly feels for Aidan.
Aidan, super sexy Club Sin Master, harbors a hurt that tears at his soul everyday. While he cares for Cora, more than caring and play in the club is about all he can handle. However the thought of another Dom touch her will send him on edge!
Bared is filled with raw emotions that makes the submission look like the easy part. Aidan and Cora both battle deep emotion that could tear them apart. Trust is there, but guilt has the stronger hold. This book is just wow. Ms. Kennedy gave a story that is hot and sexy while digging deep into emotions. More than just a look at what BDSM is. Stacey Kennedy shows that there are more than just ropes and paddles when it comes to a Dom/Sub relationship. An excellent read!

Don’t get me wrong the spice is pretty tame from some of the others I have read, but I love this group of characters. I like how all of the relationships of the friends are so healthy. It helps keep me tuned in. I’m probably going to continue reading the whole series because I want to see where everyone goes.

Cora is such a fun character in book one, and I loved getting to know her better and even seeing a little more melancholy side of her. Her relationship with Aidan appears to be a healthy dom/sub one, but deep down it is scarring them both.
Aidan is hiding from his past and not quite letting go of some emotions so he can truly move on. This is causing his sub, Cora (who is totally in love with him) to slowly sink into an almost depression like state. When it all finally comes out, they are both hurt and realize just how bad things have become.
Once again, Stacey Kennedy really delivers on the emotion. It was a roller-coaster in an incredible way. You really feel like you are going on a journey with them and when you all finally make it to the other side there's an incredibly satisfying feeling. There are a just a couple small places where she got a little too flowery with her language for my taste - but it is very minor.
I love this series even more now and I need to see who is next to fall in love.

This was an excellent book. The connection that Cora and Aidan have is electric! It starts off with a bang too! hothothot! Hints of their past and how Cora feels for Aidan had me emotionally invested right from the start.
I really liked Cora and her sass, she’s so sweet and spunky. How Cora sacrificed her own feelings was touching. Aidan cares for Cora tremendously and wants to understand her. I could see and feel how Aidan felt for Cora – waiting for him to realize it was agonizing (but it a good way). Aidan is dominating, sexy, and compassionate and watching him come to terms with his heartbreaking past was an incredible journey. There were so many emotional moments throughout the book I found myself getting teary eyed on several occasions.
I really enjoyed watching Aidan and Cora connect outside of Club Sin as well. They had some fun, playful times and some lighthearted moments. There is a beautifully written camping scene, so full of sensuality and emotion. Oh my goodness. My heart. They're so sweet and loving. It was a real turning point for them and I could feel it in every word I read. There was another very intense scene in a cemetery and I was so proud of Cora for finally realizing her feelings, opening up, and standing up for herself and being honest with Aidan but my heart was breaking. I'm not sure who I felt more sad for.
This book was incredibly hot. STEAMY HOT. There were some seriously intense scenes and even though the content was BDSM related, it never felt overdone or awkward.
I liked Aidan and Cora’s back stories and learning more about them. I loved the introduction of Porter, he’s a great addition. I like him a lot and am excited that he's getting his own book. I was really glad that Presley and Dimitri were in this story too, they’re great characters. I absolutely loved seeing Kyler (he gets his own book too – yeah!). You could tell that he was holding back on what he wanted to say about Aidan and Cora's situation but when he unleashes, it was freaking fantastic! I was all heck yeah, go Kyler! I enjoy all the friendships and in the book, they seem so genuine and sincere. I liked when the guys hung out on their own too, those were great scenes.
Bared is a hot, emotional journey that captured me. 5 I-was-emotionally-invested stars! It ends just as hot as it starts with an incredible story in between!

I'm in the middle of packing my family right now for vacation but, I didn't want to leave without writing a quick little something about Bared. OMG I loved this book so so so much!!! Bared is so awesome that nothing I say will do it justice. The Club Sin series is quickly becoming one of my favorite series. I loved Aiden and Cora's story. Bared is going to leave me on a book high for the rest of the year and I'm totally ok with that. Just like with Claimed, I'll be telling everyone about this book.
I'll be writing a full on review very soon!

Bared is the second book in the Club Sin series and it has some severe kink to it. (It will include lots of tension and secrets going around though…be warned) I have been patiently waiting for Aidan’s book since he was introduced in Claimed. I’m patiently waiting for every one of the Club Sin Masters’ books. =)
Stacey gives us Aidan and Cora’s story, and they are one hot couple together. Aidan is the sexy lawyer by day and Club Sin Master at night. His submissive for two years now has always been Cora, but he has made no move to collar Cora. Aidan is still dealing with his past with another submissive he had. He is having a hard time getting over her and what happened to her. He’s afraid to feel for another submissive like he did in the past.
Cora is the social services counselor by day and submissive to Aidan by night. She keeps both her job and her pleasure from intertwining together. None of her co-workers know of her thrills that she has with Aidan. They assume she goes out with the girls at night, but Cora has known she has loved the BDSM lifestyle since before Club Sin. She had another Dom before, and now he is more of a best friend. Porter was always there for her, and her past with Porter is going to creep up, due to what is going to occur with her and Aidan.
Aidan in Bared is going to play the “I don’t know” card, and he’s worried because Cora is shutting down on him in Bared. I swear he was clueless. There were times I wanted to go through the book and smack him around. Wake up, Aidan….Grrrr!!! He’s a dang lawyer shouldn’t he figure out what is going on right away. Geez LOL, He did show his dominant ways though, which made me forget all his crazy foolishness at times.
Cora was annoying at times as well. She drove me crazy about not sharing what she felt. I wanted to smack her around. Another GRRRRR moment!!!!
Between Aidan and Cora going back and forth with each other and one particular scene, where Aidan stops what he is doing with Cora. Let’s say, I screamed at them. You foolish characters who drove me crazy, but Stacey managed to redeem my love for them at the end. Aidan won me over at the end of the book. I’ll leave it at that because I don’t want to spoil it.
Whenever these two characters got together though…it was like the room I was in was heating up whenever I read their sex scenes together. Aidan and Cora had some serious HOT chemistry. Could they not see and feel it? (Must remind me they are fictional)
I give this book 4 full moons and recommend it to readers out there that enjoy an erotic romance with BDSM elements to it. Be ready for some serious kink. Stacey knows how to heat it a notch in each of the books she writes.
I’m looking forward to Kyler’s book next. He won me over in Bared. He put Aidan in his place in certain parts of the books. Oh yes, …he showed he is a Dom for a reason. LOVE him!!!

Cora and Aidan's story is a good one. Cora is Aidan's submissive, he hasn't claimed her, but she loves him. They have been playing at the club for 2 years and Cora thought being what he needed would be enough. But now she can't deny how she wants more. Aidan is blind to Cora's love, he lost his sub, his love in a car accident over 2 years ago. He demands to know what is bothering Cora and she doesn't want to tell him. All the others at Club Sin see the love , but not Aidan. This is a great story with not to much BDSM and just the right amount of romance. Will look for more from Stacey Kennedy!
