Stripped Down

First book of 2024! Mae Harden is a new-to-me author (that's gotta be a pen name, right?) and I had this on my Kindle probably from the last time I did that whole Stuff Your Kindle thing. I will definitely be checking out some of her other work, because Stripped Down was THE perfect combo of sweet and smutty.

The only reasons this wasn't a complete 5 stars for me are two-fold, and both completely personal preferences: 1) even in romance, which gets away with a lot, I don't love it when the hero is overly possessive; and 2) the tiny-baby-woman (even if she's described as curvy) and giant-hulking-man thing.
