Exposed (VIP #4) by Kristen Callihan is now live!
Brenna
There are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it’s Rye Peterson. We can’t spend more than ten minutes together before we’re at each other’s throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn’t help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and…never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key.
But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn’t: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I’ve tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all—him.
Rye
Brenna James is the one. The one I can’t have. The one I can’t get out of my mind. Believe me, I’ve tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough—until I heard her say she’s as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved.
I convinced her that it would just be sex, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I’ve never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I’ve got to show Brenna that we’re so much better together than we ever were apart.
Things are going to get messy. But getting messy with Brenna is what I do best.

I absolutely adore Kristen Callihan and her VIP series, so you know I was going to be reading Exposed as soon as I could — especially because I’ve been highly anticipating Brenna and Rye’s story as I’m a big enemies to lovers fan and the tension between them was so good in the past. I didn’t have a lot of expectations going in except for that I knew it was going to be a good book and that I would love it. I wasn’t really wrong with those thoughts, but I did struggle with Exposed a bit. I don’t know if I was just in the wrong headspace for it or if I was too in my head while reading, but it just felt like something was missing. I’ve been trying to figure out what that was, but I can explain everything away except for the way I felt.
I know when I started reading and found out that it was going to be the let’s have sex for awhile pretty much without strings attached trope, I wasn’t enthused, but I understand that it makes the most sense as Rye and Brenna have known each other for a long time now and I trusted that everything would be good since it’s Kristen Callihan. With the trope though, I kept bracing myself for the angst to come because I don’t like angst, but it never really did which I’m very glad for, I guess I just had my guard up for most of the book though.
I think I just became too guarded and in my head with this book and that was why I didn’t enjoy it as much as the others. I think it would really benefit from a re-read someday because I’ll know exactly what to expect and I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy it fully. I know I haven’t really made this sound good, but it really was fantastic when I push my hang-ups to the side. I loved Brenna and Rye’s dynamic, they were hot, fun, and cute. I loved how much they grew and communicated and just have such a rock solid bond.
Exposed was beautiful and the best part was honestly Rye — oh, I love that man so much! Rye is the sweetest, most devoted guy ever and he utterly, completely shined. He was my bright spot throughout the entire book and he’s without a doubt my favorite hero in this series and I think he will remain so. Rye makes me excited to read Exposed again some day, but in the meantime, I’ll be looking forward to Whip’s book next!
