What happens when a high-heeled diva goes camping with her sister’s dog?
Avery Montgomery, fashionista and preacher’s daughter, needs a ride from Milwaukee to Los Angeles.
“Make my death quick, and please don’t tie me up. I’m claustrophobic.”
Jake Matthews, diva-hater, agrees to let her tag along on his annual but primitive trek to the West Coast.
“Okay, Princess, I’ll take you to L.A., but your crown won’t make it there in one piece.”
She’s desperate and out of options.He’s ruthless and out of patience.
Don’t miss this sexy, hilarious, and heart-warming journey of self-discovery and raw … naked love.
With Naked Love, Jewel E. Ann dives head first into the enemies-to-lovers trope, and the result is a fun and sometimes emotional love story featuring memorable characters.
If it’s true that opposites attract then Jake and Avery should be stuck together like Crazy Glue. Too bad they’re likely to kill each other first. Avery is a down-on-her-luck mega diva. Everyone is fond of Jake, the modest nice guy who takes an instant disliking to Avery. They seem to bring out the worst in each other. The two of them plus a large dog sharing a tent while camping their way across the country has “Bad Idea” written all over it. It’s a wonderful recipe for an entertaining story, though.
Both of them have a ton of baggage. Jake is judgmental and takes perverse pleasure in torturing Avery. Getting to the bottom of the cause kept me engaged. I also enjoyed his obsession with t-shirts featuring wildly inappropriate slogans. Avery could be a spokesperson for shallow materialism, but it’s not baseless. Her metamorphosis is particularly poignant.
This story is a little bit bitter, but mostly funny and sweet. I loved the epilogue so much! (Side note to authors: Give me all the epilogues all the time. Please and thank you.) I’d say this book is a great weekend or beach read.
