Our childhood really does play an important significance in our lives with respect to adulthood. Here Della Murray's childhood fears of poverty carries over into her adulthood that develops her outlook at her relationship with men. How someone is dressed in their field of occupation can be deceiving, meaning it does not always appear from what you see with your eyes. This is how Luke McKnight appears to Della, but he is determine to not reveal everything to her so she will accept him for himself and not for his occupation. To my fellow readers, find out how both Della and Luke end up helping each other grow and find love. If you have read any of Gwynne Forster's books, well you know she is an excellent storyteller and you should enjoy this book.

Ok - this book was OK. I would have enjoyed more, but there were sooooooo many typo's, that they should have a serious discussion with the editor!

That said, the story was ok - I didn't like the female lead that much. I thought her baggage was a little too extreme to hold onto the way she did. The male lead was a great guy, a little too patient..and it took way too long to really get them "together". However, if you're a Ms. Forster fan, I'm sure you will look past all of those things and enjoy.

This book is just not up to her usual standards. It is the first book from Gwynne Forster(I have read almost all of her books) with a heroine that I intensely dislike. Although I sympathize with what happened in her childhood, it wasn't enough to make me like Della or even feel sorry for her. She comes across as a self-serving know it all whose view of others is based on appearances and money although she occasionally shows more depth of character. I must say that if I was the hero in the book, I would not have hung around with Della as long as he did. I struggled through the book even though I did not like this heroine and could not understand the hero's willingness to take whatever she dishes out.

Gwens talent in writing romance novels never surprises me and so Naked Soul was as exspected great read. Della was so afraid of poverty, she almost lost the richest person she'd ever met. She was looking at the outside of Luke rather than on the inside of him. I think Gwen did a great job in making Della wait as long as she did so that she could break down the opoverty wall of fear which she had built from childhood and accept Luke for the man that he was. If I had been in Lukes shoes, after all the chasinf Della put him through, I would have married her in Overalls.
