Giving It All

by Christi Barth

Series: Naked Men, #3

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 17, 2017

Logan Marsh never stays in one place for long. Through his family’s foundation, Logan spends his days traveling to the world’s most dangerous places to deliver disaster relief, which really puts a damper on his sex life—until he reconnects with his high-school crush. Stranded together in the Caribbean, they enjoy a steamy fling that awakens feelings Logan has ignored for too long. But family drama calls him away from her sweet embrace . . . or so he thinks.

Brooke Gallagher loved being a home economics teacher and cheerleading coach. Then an unexpected tragedy forced her to take some time off. Now she’s back in D.C. and despite the intensity of her tropical encounter with Logan, she’s shocked to bump into him again. Logan’s dealing with his own issues (including a newly discovered half-sister) and he’s itching to get back on the road. More than anything, Brooke wants to be there for him. But first, he has to decide if love is enough to keep him in one place.

I've been reading these from the beginning and while they probably stand alone okay, the characters are so interconnected that I recommend starting from book one. I think this one is my favorite so far. We finally get to meet Logan! He is pretty fantastic. He's rushing home to meet the sister he didn't know about when he runs into Brooke, his old high school crush. Things get steamy and then he's off. But they bump into each other again and again and it is super sweet. He's always off to different parts of the world saving people so he doesn't think he can be in a relationship when he'll just have to leave again. Brooke understands. But they have a hard time keeping things light. I just really enjoyed this one.

Review: Risking It All by Christi Barth

Description:
Who doesn’t love Naked Men? In Christi Barth’s irresistible series, a group of close-knit friends talk out their problems with naked honesty on a popular blog. Bonded by a high-school tragedy, they’re moving on from the past—and fighting for the future with strong and sassy women.

Griffin Montgomery helps people. As a teenager, he kept his best friends alive after their soccer team’s bus crashed in the Alps. Now, as a Coast Guard search and rescue pilot, he saves lives with reckless abandon—until he goes too far and earns a lengthy suspension. Working on the Naked Men projects keeps his mind busy, but Griff’s itching to get back in the action. That’s when he finds his latest rescue mission: a pretty wallflower who’s stuck in her comfort zone.

Chloe Widmore doesn’t take risks. As a professional letter writer, she gets enough excitement out of expressing other people’s emotions. So when the hottest man she’s ever seen invades her coffee shop, Chloe surprises herself with how much she wants to be with him. Routines make her feel safe. Griff makes her deliciously unsafe, in so many ways. But falling for him is one risk she might just have to take . . . whether she’s ready or not.


My Thoughts:

This is the first in a series about a group of friends who went through a tragedy together in high school. They started a blog to help them cope. They now all have different jobs but still live together and work on the blog. 

Griffin is a rescue pilot in the coast guard. He meets Chloe in the coffee shop where she writes most days. It was cute. Everyone was treating Griffin like a hero but Chloe starts questioning him. They both took turns irritating me, but it was a fun read overall. Funny. Witty. I'm interested to see what kind of ladies the friends find. I definitely want to read the next book.
