"Sensual, evocative, and spellbinding." (K.L. Kreig, USA Today best-selling author of Black Swan Affair)

Finn

No matter how cruel it's been to me in the past, I've never been able to flip fate the bird. I'm a romantic at heart. So when fate drops a leather-bound journal at my feet, I know I should walk away.

I don't. I pick her up, bend her spine, spread her pages. From the first word, I'm a goner. The owner didn't give me access to her most intimate desires, but I devour them anyway. Her private darkness, her candid, sensual poetry - it all goes down like warm milk. And from that point forward, I drink, eat, and sleep her.

Halston

I went to his apartment and let him take my picture. Just once, to see how it would feel. I'm not his to look at, to inspire, to touch, but when he watches me through his lens, it gives me a high I don't want to come down from....

My journal is the one place I can be myself - as long as I can tie it up and put it away when I'm finished. But when Finn undoes the bow, he pulls strings that could unravel each of us.

Yours to Bare can be enjoyed as a standalone or as book three in the Slip of the Tongue series.

Narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt.

This book was truly everything and because of the greatness of this book and the narrators by exercise spiked during the days I was listening to this book. I loved how quirky and broken the two characters were and how they came together was a magical ride. Finn and Halston were able to take their masks off for each other and truly be themselves and somehow it all worked and they became stronger together. I was emotionally invested during this entire read and only wish I could re-listen to it again for the first time.

This book was everything

I loved the continuation of Finns story and how he eventually finds love. This one is hot with a plot and all the feels. She writes epic love stories. Fantastic narration as ever.

Another great book by Jessica Hawkins!

Finn has chosen to leave his unhappy existence. He is living with the mother of his child, a wealthy woman to whom everything is measured by material things. He doesn't love her nor the secure, high paying career. Instead he is trying to make it on his own as a photographer. This is a ruthless, challenging career. But it makes him happy… However, he is waiting for his career to take off.

Halston has had a rough time of it. Her very rich family fell apart when her mom died in a car accident. She was inconsolable so her dad sends her to an institution and she is on antidepressants from age 15. Now she works at her dad's bank, lives with a man who her father chose for her and is existing, not living. Her only outlet is journaling. This is where she writes her fantasies along with her daily activities.

One day Finn discovers a journal at the coffee shop he frequents. He knows he should turn it in, but is attached to it before he can do so. He takes it home and begins to read the very intimate thoughts that a stranger has written. He is inspired and set on finding the author… to return it or more?

I don't know why so many of the reviewers dislike Finn. He is a very patient guy, especially as Halston starts to unwind.

Andi Arndt and Sebastian York are so talented. Sebastian York has a deep sexy voice, perfect for Finn. Andi Arndt performs Halston without flaw. I especially enjoy her narration of male characters – soft and husky.

5 stars across the board

Be aware that this book contains strong language and mature themes/situations

Don't quote me on this, but I believe there are three standalone books. Each of the books focus on one [different] couple and mentions the other characters in a peripheral manner. When I listened again I will listen to the three back-to-back to enjoy the full richness of the friendships, as well as the main focus of each [standalone book] couple and their relationship.

In order the titles are:

SLIP OF THE TONGUE
THE FIRST TASTE
YOURS TO BARE

Halston was being such a baby.... I care about the followers!! OMG such a millennial!! She didn’t even take the time to consider Finn’s reasoning behind her revealing herself. That is a huge step like he said. So much negativity will come with it and she was being such a brat not to see that.

I struggled with this book

I enjoyed that it was a different type of story line, but it didn't really grasp me as I'd hoped. It kind of seemed like they were saying the same stuff over and over and it became predictable.

It was ok

Wall Street Trader turned Photographer and Professional PR woman with tragic past. both looking for passion, one grasping for it and the other hiding from it. Together they try to walk the all-too-thin line between personal life, pleasurable experiences and business prosperity.
This was without a doubt Finn's redemption. And Halston is an absolute delight with her headstrong way of approaching her real life addictions and fears.
And the narration was nothing less than spot on. How could it not be with the dynamic pairing of Sebastian York and Andi Arndt?
I definitely recommend this entire series. Read them in order, or not - I didn't and still loved them. They all entertwine beautifully.
