Well, the long-awaited "Alex's Story"...for me turned out to be more Olivia's story with a side order of Alex thrown in. I was hoping Megan would delve into Alex's thoughts and feelings and let me know how he coped with and moved on after his time with Anne and James, which I thought made a huge impact on his life, but that didn't happen. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even mentioned until the end. I caught glimpses of "lessons learned" from his past but I am not sure they would have been that obvious to someone that had not read about him before. The ending of the book had a few revelations that were unexpected but were more like what I had longed for this book to be from beginning to end.
After reading the e-book "Everything Changes" which was Tempted from Alex's POV, I was expecting more from Naked. For me he is just as much a man of mystery after reading Naked as he was in Tempted and I wanted so much more. Alex got his HEA but I didn't feel their connection quite as much as I would have liked.
Olivia is a hardworking photographer focused on being a success, dealing with an ex-fiance that broke up with her because he was gay but still wants to be a huge part of her life. She comes from a broken family, with both sides practicing a different religion, and she feels torn between the two factions and is trying to find her way. She is cautious with Alex at first having been burned before but they slowly build a relationship and learn to love and trust each other.
I love Megan's writing style and enjoyed appearances in Naked by Dan and Elle as well as Anne and James. As usual her writing covers lots of real life dynamics and in this one there was an interracial relationship, homosexuality, adoption, religion and family issues. All of these topics were covered with Megan's flare of putting it out there in a laid back way.
