About this ebook

Christi Barth’s smoking-hot contemporary romance series continues as the five best friends who survived a tragedy as teenagers take to their Naked Men podcast to open up about women. In Giving It All, the group’s globe-trotting hunk discovers that you need to go home to find love.

Logan Marsh never stays in one place for long. Through his family’s foundation, Logan spends his days traveling to the world’s most dangerous places to deliver disaster relief, which really puts a damper on his sex life—until he reconnects with his high-school crush. Stranded together in the Caribbean, they enjoy a steamy fling that awakens feelings Logan has ignored for too long. But family drama calls him away from her sweet embrace . . . or so he thinks.

Brooke Gallagher loved being a home economics teacher and cheerleading coach. Then an unexpected tragedy forced her to take some time off. Now she’s back in D.C. and despite the intensity of her tropical encounter with Logan, she’s shocked to bump into him again. Logan’s dealing with his own issues (including a newly discovered half-sister) and he’s itching to get back on the road. More than anything, Brooke wants to be there for him. But first, he has to decide if love is enough to keep him in one place.

Ratings and reviews

5 star review of Giving It All (Naked Men #3) by Christi Barth I read and thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in the series and was excited to read Logan’s story. The idea of a group of men, who have been friends for many years talking out their problems on a blog as a premise was so intriguing. These men survived a horrific bush crash over 10 years ago, and their bond of friendship which was firmly cemented and has only deepened over the years. This is the story of Logan Marsh and Brooke Gallagher. Logan travels the world for his family’s foundation, never staying to long in one place. When a hurricane means he must stay in the Caribbean he is surprised to find Brooke who is there on holiday. Brooke is still trying to come to terms with the suicide of a student and is having a very difficult time. These two have history together as friends (both having a crush on the other and not knowing it) and after a hot and steamy re-connection in the Caribbean, Logan and Brooke go their separate ways, only to bump into each other again in D.C. This book was more of an emotional roller-coaster than the others in my opinion as Logan struggles to come to terms with the changes happening in his life including a half-sister he knew nothing about; Brooke wants to be there to support him in any way she can but the question is will Logan let her? Will Brooke be the one who finally manages to get Logan to put down roots? Or will Logan ruin his chance at happiness? I love the humour and the easy banter between all of the characters, particularly Logan and his friends. There was definitely a romantic feel to this book and I really love all the secondary characters. I cannot wait to read more about the Naked Men from Christi Barth.

This is book three in the series but can definitely be read as a standalone. I haven't read the books that came before this one and I didn't feel the slightest bit lost. Ten years ago, Logan's friends were in an accident and thought to have not survived. Logan spent three days looking for them and due to his persistence, they were rescued. This event changed Logan's life. Logan goes into disaster areas with his family's foundation to help people rebuild. Detoured on his way home to meet his sister, Logan runs into Brooke, an old friend from high school. Brooke is on vacation trying to reset from a personal tragedy. When she runs into Logan, she figures a vacation fling is just what she needs to start to move on. Can the person you crushed on for so long just be a one-time thing? The chemistry between Brooke and Logan was palpable. Since these two were really good friends in high school and never acted on their mutual attraction, once they got together it was like explosions and fireworks. Brooke seemed to need more supportive people in her life. The tragedy she experienced was devastating but the people around her didn't seem to be all that helpful. Logan has a hard core hero complex that seemed to lead him to being short sighted when it comes to taking a more active role in the business side of his family's foundation. I loved that these two really supported each other and the goals that they had. I definitely will be adding books one and two to my TBR! *This is my voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy*

A page turning hot romance that starts out with "friends with benefits" but develops into so much more. Plenty of twists and turns that will keep you wanting more. Luke and Brooke were friends in high school, but both wanted more unbeknownst to each other now with a chance encounter will it lead to forever. This is a great series but can be read as a stand alone, I will now be going back to read the first two books in the series and looking forward to the next book.
