I have found the book for anyone who loves a perfect mix of swoony, steamy, and soft hearted romance. This was my first time reading an MM romance that featured a FTM trans leading character but I LOVED it!

A ripped transgender construction worker with a heart of gold falls for a grumpy, sweater wearing professor who knits cozy sweaters for his pet tortoise. 🐢😍 I’m sorry, but HOW am I supposed to recover from that?

Miller is everything—sweet, confident, and totally smitten with Demetri from the moment they reunite. And Demetri? The walls this man has! He’s hesitant, guarded, and oh so adorably awkward, but you’ll want to wrap him in a big hug and tell him it’s okay to let love in. Their chemistry? Off the charts! 🔥 But the slow build as Demetri’s walls come down? Absolutely chef’s kiss. 👌

This book has it all—flirty gym moments, cozy nights filled with knitting (seriously), and a love story that just feels real. It’s steamy, heartwarming, and affirming in every way. Miller’s journey as a trans man is handled with so much respect and care, making this a romance that’s as much about falling for someone as it is about embracing yourself.

If you’re into MM romance with opposites attract vibes, a sprinkle of humor, and all the feels, Stripped will have you hooked. And it’s part of the Four Bears Construction series, so prepare to fall in love with this whole crew of soft hearted, hunky bears. 🐻🏗️
