For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey - the international bestseller - an explosive novel of sex, secrecy and escape. 'You've never been in control, until now; you've never, before, had exactly what you want...The lights turned off. A touch that's gentle, slow, provocative, that builds you up, that makes you want it too much...' Imagine on honeymoon, lulled by sultry heat and the promise of a lifetime's happiness, you discover a shocking secret about your husband. But instead of destroying you, the knowledge brings freedom; the freedom to bare your soul, explore your deepest desires and discover what you really want. THE BRIDE STRIPPED BARE is the story of a passionate sexual awakening, as erotic as it is dangerous. The seduction goes further when a married woman recalls her first love affair in Nikki Gemmell's WITH MY BODY...

Well written book exploring the inner struggle the main character has between what she thinks society expects from her, to be regarded a good girl, good wife, and what she actually feels. It is an exploration of herself on an erotic level. It is interesting to view this book with the art work by Marcel Duchamp of the same name in mind.



It is also about independence vs dependence and security, how these issues are so often an either or choice and how a child heightens this vulnerability. It is about marriage and expectations.



It is essentially a story of inner conflict and the compromises (from a woman's point of view) that marriage demands.



Finally, it is also about her relationships with her mother and female best friend, how these influence her.



The anonymity of the author of course has to give the reader a taste of the fantasy of what if...... What if I could explore a sexual fantasy anonymously? What could the consequences be if I had the courage to truly explore my sexuality?



Her descriptions of her growing awareness of her body, especially when pregnant where beautiful.



A marvelous book. Highly recommended.
