"A hot, sweet story about love in unlikely places." -- Damon Suede

 Carlos O'Shea is stuck. He knocked up a girl in college after a night of too much drinking, and then married her to be honorable. With little money, fewer options, and no degree, he winds up cleaning the floors in a small town gentlemen's club and thinking desperate thoughts about the handsome owner that'll lead to nothing but trouble.



Greg Moorehouse only invested in a nudie bar to help his best buddy out of a financial crisis. Now his drug-dealing ex-boyfriend, his reverend father, and a parade of surgically enhanced DDs' are driving him insane. But what's really stripped him of all good sense is his growing obsession with his married employee, Carlos.



They circle each other in a push-pull of misunderstandings and growing attraction. Carlos needs to get his boss out of his head, and Greg can't abide cheaters and married men. So what are a strip-club owner and the guy who cleans for him going to do with their undeniable desires?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"There is not one thing I did not like about this book. Not one. It was told seamlessly, it was sexy, it was touching it was believable and I just really enjoyed myself with it." The Risqué Redhead Reads "Stripped Clean stands heads and shoulders above many novels in this genre for its stunning ability to breathe life into imaginary story characters." Reviews by Jessewave "Stripped Clean is well written, with wonderful characters." (un)Conventional Bookviews "Gives you all kinds of warm and fuzzies ... These are two real life characters overcoming self-doubt and learning to trust and love again." Sharon S. at Love Romance Passion "I enjoyed this book. It was truly a great mix of angst, sweet, hott."  SLiTsReaD Reviews "Ms. Carrington does a great job of bringing these characters to life and tethering them to one another from the heart." GraveTells "There is quite a bit of sexual tension between Carlos and Greg." The Blog of Sid Love "The characters were interesting." This is Where I Bitch

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard to connect with, but worth the effort
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014

This is a hard story to connect with. It takes a long time to get a feel for the characters and an even longer time to see a HEA on their horizon. I think that based on the mess the lives of the MCs were in when they met, the author handled the story well. There was never going to be an instant HEA with Carlos and Greg because a lot of hard, rough and depressing things had to be resolved first. I think both MCs handled their respective tasks to getting an orderly life well with Carlos' situation being the hardest. I think Carlos showed more honour in his actions than I expected, given he was gay man with a wife, and Grey held it together well when dealing with his ex, his mother and his father. Overall, well-written, engaging and a good effort with MCs struggling to be together in difficult situations. This story is not for everyone, so I’d have to know you before I’d recommend it. I enjoyed it, but it takes a lot of effort to get through.

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work for me
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2013

I read Yes, Sir, a hot snippet by Ellis Carrington and wanted more so I downloaded this book. Unfortunately, it didn't work so well for me. I found that 355 pages was probably 100 too many for me - it took too long to tell it's story. But also, the relationship between Greg and Carlos felt unbelievable to me. They both thought so much and communicated so little, and the pull me push you dance they were doing just didn't seem real. I didn't think any real person would pursue any connection with the way that either man was acting. I read about half of it, started skimming and then put it down. I think Ellis Carrington can write, just these characters didn't work for me.

This piece is definitely well written. I love the character development and the raw emotions that the characters give out was well penned. Kudos as well for the feel good fluff especially at the end. For the life of me, i cant imagine how the author wrote those sweet scenes without making it corny. And of course the love scenes definitely sizzles! All of these elements was incorporated to this unique and wonderful story. With this and the author's other story 'Yes sir' i can safely say that i'll look forward to the author's future works!

4.0 out of 5 stars loved carlos and greg!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014

i loved the instant attraction between carlos and greg...it was palpable. it was fantastic that carlos didn't ever want to cheat on his wife and that he wanted to get his life together the right way so he could be with greg.

i really love the dual POV's...i hate wondering what the other character is thinking if a book is written with a single POV.

greg and carlos are both great guys with personal issues they have to deal with before they can make a real go at a relationship. their growth through the book is a great thing to 'see'. they have struggles with all their relationships as they struggle to figure out what's best for each of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just a superficial romance
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014

Well written. It really showed you how people's issues can get in the way, and how our pasts affect our present and possible our future, if we let it.

I wasn't expecting quite as much drama as there was, but overall I enjoyed this one :-)

3.0 out of 5 stars OK read
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2014

I thought I would like this book more than I did. The premise is interesting and has a lot of potential. Unfortunately the story was bogged down by more angst that went back and forth and was resolved with no rhyme or reason. I wish I enjoyed it more, especially since I already have the next one. Oh well.....
