Strip You Bare

This is the final book in the Deacons of Bourbon Street and of all the books in this series I thought this was the best. When Micah (Prince) was banned from the Deacons, he tried hard to put his past behind him. He moved to California and turned himself in to a self-made real estate mogul. When Priest, the president of the Deacons was murdered, he was summoned back to New Orleans. Along with the other members, he wanted to find who murdered Priest so he could leave. He has no intention of staying in New Orleans. So the faster this is mystery is solved, the sooner he can go home. Somehow the Deacons became the owners of the Delacroix’s mansion. They are suspicious as to how Priest came about owning the mansion. Sara Delacroix is a rich, high society princess. She plans on having a Christmas party at the mansion. A mansion she thought was owned by her family. So Prince has been tasked to babysit Sarah to see if she can help solve the mystery of the ownership of the mansion. As they began to spend more time together, they began to act on their attraction. I liked Sarah. She was a good girl but wanted to be very bad. But she was also feisty, had a little bit smart mouth on her and stood up for herself. I enjoyed the banter back and forth between these two. The story line flowed easily. There was not a lot of drama tearing these two apart. There was also not a lot of inner turmoil which can sometimes detract from the story. I did not see the ending coming. Let’s say you finally get all your questions answered. This was a good ending to the series.

The final installment of the Deacons of Bourbon Street was the perfect ending to the series. I have enjoyed all the books in this series but have to say this one is by far my favorite. Micah didn’t want to come back to New Orleans but he owed is to Priest after saving him when he was younger. He came back for only one reason, find out who killed Priest and make them pay. He never intended on staying permanently. Sarah is a traditional southern bell who grew up in a wealthy family where image was considered everything. After learning that her fiancé’ cheated on here she ended her engagement which did not sit well with her family. Micah’s search for information on Priest death leads him to Sarah and there is an instant sexual tension between the two. They both fight their attraction but in the end they help each other find themselves and it is beautiful. Micah is a tough alpha biker but with Sarah we get to see the softer side, the side he only shows to her. I have really enjoyed the series and hate to see it end but the ending was done fabulously. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

Awesome read with some very interesting characters. It's very well written and a great wrap up to the Deacons of Bourbon Street series. Prince is not happy about being back in New Orleans, however once a Deacon always a Deacon and he's here as long as it takes to find out what really happened to the club leader Priest. After being banished from NOLA 10 years ago, Micah "Prince" Carpenter has worked hard to make a new life for himself. He's financially become very successful and has met many women like Sara Delacroix. He has no interest in trying to melt the ice princess. Or does he???? Definitely one I recommend.
