Dark Desires #4
Undone
Nash:
Finally, I’m released from prison but life will never be the same. After attempting to do the worst thing you can to a woman I’m free. But am I really? My father and his now wife, Mercy accept me back into their lives with more love for me than I could've expected. I’m finally on the right road until her. She’s my adopted sister although I never met her before. I want her more than I wanted heroin. I want her like I’m going to die without her touch. But if I go there I’ll lose everything it took me years to get back. But if I don’t she’ll end up in prison or worse. She’s going down a dangerous road. One I’ve been down. The question is, do I save her or myself?
Ivy:
My parents love me, I know that. But they keep such a tight leash on me I think I might choke. They adopted me after I had cancer twice. I should be grateful. But I’m not. I only want to chase the dragon. I don’t give a crap about them anymore. I just want my next high. When I’m climbing out the window to do just that he stops me in my tracks and refuses to let me out of his sight. I try to run but he grabs onto my hair and puts his mouth to my ear. Tingles run down my spine and heat floods my body. Will he save me or will I take him with me on this collision course?

This is book 4 in Chelle's Forbidden Desires series! It's about Nash and Ivy, who are stepsiblings. If you know me you know I love any book that has forbidden love! This story was dark, but still emotional. It was a treasure getting to know Nash and Ivy. It was a little bit boring towards the middle of the book, but once you get past it you fly through the rest of the book!!
4/5, I can't wait to see what Chelle writes next! <3

This was great. It handled the healing from drug use in such a beautiful way. I appreciated this

This is one of the most emotional books I’ve read in a long time. Nash is a fantastic character and the struggles both he and Ivy deal with are incredible well written and touching. It was fab to see some old characters pop up in the book and we get to meet deluca from the next book. Spice was top tier as usual. Another incredible read ❤️

This book had me at the dedication 😂
To all of us who want a dominating asshole to fuck us to within an inch of our lives.
I mean… you either do… or you’re lying 🫠
“Princess, you’re plenty pretty enough. You’re fucking gorgeous. I want to fuck you. But if I do, I’ll be so far undone there won’t be a way back. So let me walk away. If you don’t, you’ll ruin me. And I’ll let you. I’ll let you destroy me.”
“There’s nothing I want more than to steal her innocence. I’m the monster that wants to rip her to shreds and then piece her back together as I see fit. Hold her down and fuck her until she screams and cries. Turn her into my personal filthy slut.”
“Ivy is like a poison infecting my veins—a drug stronger than any dose of heroin I’ve ever had. I’m drawn to her like a moth to a flame. I knew she’d destroy me. I knew I’d let her.”
“I’m no savior, Princess…Not the hero in your story. I’m the villain. I’ll always be the villain. Spread your thighs and stick your tongue out.”
“Oh my God.” I growl, “That’s right, Princess. I’m your God and you’ll worship me. I’ll worship you too. Because you’re my fucking Goddess.”
“You should find love where you can find it. I just happened to find mine in the arms of my adopted brother.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This 👏🏻 fucking 👏🏻 book 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hated Nash!! Omg what he did to Mercy was wrong, drugs or not, he was trash and deserved to go to jail. But Jesus Christ I’ve never been more happy to be so wrong 😂
This was probably one of the BEST mmc redemptions I’ve ever read! And the fact that they’re adoptive siblings just made it that much better! The taboo, the spice, the plot, the twist at the end… absolute chefs kiss 👌🏻

Did I devour this book in one sitting? Yes. Did I stay up till 2 am just to finish cause I couldn’t put it down for anything? Also yes. Would I do it again? Absfuckinglutely 100 hands down!!!
Undone by Chelle Rose was just amazing and probably one of my favorite reads by this author and of the whole year. 1000% a five star read. Definitely has quite a few triggers so double check before starting cause your mental health matters. This story also ties in things from Chelle’s forbidden series and characters from the other books in the dark desires series. Undone follows adopted siblings Nash who is 38 and Ivy who is just turning 18 at the beginning.
Nash who’s just gotten outta prison after 15 years who’s trying to stay off of the drugs that ruined his life and took everything from him. He has changed so much over the course of the 15 years he’s been gone. But definitely still carries all the guilt of what happened back then even though he was very heavily influenced by drugs. I will say after this book he is one of my favorite MMCs that Chelle has written!! I don’t wanna give anything away but he really does everything that he can to help and make sure his princess is happy.
Ivy who’s had an extremely difficult time her entire life. Her mother abandoning her, cancer three times, and also feeling like her adoptive parents don’t love her anymore. Things for her have been awful but after her last tumor surgery and getting prescribed oxys it takes a turn and she falls addicted to them unfortunately. Then she meets Nash and the story goes from there(:
Undone was absolutely a 5 star read for me. If I could give it higher I definitely would. This story really stuck with me I felt for the characters throughout the book and everything they were going through together. I’d give it a 4 for spice, Nash likes being in control and teaching his little brat of a princess who’s in charge and she definitely likes being his good girl 😏😏.
I would also like to say thank you to Chelle Rose for writing this amazing piece and I’m sorry for what your going through my thoughts are with you and fingers crossed he finds his way💜💜💜

We first met Nash in Mercy and that story was stunning. Undone takes place years later and Nash is trying to find his place in the world and his new life.
He never met his adopted sister Ivy, who we also met in Mercy, so they are meeting for the first time as a family. The struggle and uncertainty in their relationship happens a lot and it is the insecurities and self doubt that causes
This story contains triggers and some very hard to read topics but it was written with compassion and care. There is drug use and addiction throughout this book and Chelle Rose tells the story of from what the addicts and their families encounter and endure.
Very well written 💜

This is book 4 in Chelle's Forbidden Desires series, Undone,This Story is about Nash and Ivy, who are step siblings, with an age gap. I devoured this book, holy hell what a story, it's real, it's raw, it's hot. It takes you on a rollercoaster off a ride. I highly recommend reading all books from this series.
“Ivy is like a poison infecting my veins—a drug stronger than any dose of heroin I’ve ever had. I’m drawn to her like a moth to a flame. I knew she’d destroy me. I knew I’d let her.”
Nash is our MMC, our daddy alphahole, he's 38, and just gotten out of prison after 15 years, hes trying to stay off the drugs that ruined his life and took everything from him. We get to see how much he has changed over the course of the 15 years he’s been gone!. But you can see he still carries all the guilt of what happened back then..
“You should find love where you can find it. I just happened to find mine in the arms of my adopted brother.”
“Oh my God.” I growl, “That’s right, Princess. I’m your God and you’ll worship me. I’ll worship you too. Because you’re my fucking Goddess.”
Ivy who is our FMC, just turns 18, she's had a extremely difficult time her entire life. Her mother abandoning her, she's had cancer 3 times, and also feeling like her adoptive parents don’t love her anymore. Things for her have been awful but after her last tumor surgery and getting prescribed pills she ends up addicted to them unfortunately. Then she meets Nash, and oh boy do they meet.
“I’m no savior, Princess, Not the hero in your story. I’m the villain, always be the villain. Spread your thighs and stick your tongue out.”
The real questions are will Ivy and Nash’s relationship survive the shit show they face? Will they make it out after being confronted by nash’s past? Do they get to stay sober? Find out the answers by reading this truly beautifully, but tragic story about finding love, family, devotion, trauma, overcoming, cancer.
“There’s nothing I want more than to steal her innocence. I’m the monster that wants to rip her to shreds and then piece her back together as I see fit. Hold her down and fuck her until she screams and cries. Turn her into my personal filthy slut.”
Chelle rose always writes beautiful story's that take you on a ride, characters are wonderfully written, you feel like your right there with them, i can't wait to see what else she brings out..

Y’all better get cozy cause this is definitely a book you’ll want to read straight through.
Ivy has had one of the hardest lives anyone could ever go through and she is only 18. She has been through 3 bouts of cancer, her mom abandoning her while she is in the hospital, and feeling like she would rather die than survive. That all changes one day when she is adopted by her oncologist and his wife. She now has the complete life. Until she doesn’t. She once again feels like she is unloved and abandoned. She now also has to deal with her “brother” she has never met.
Nash thought his life was over when he was arrested. He wasn’t in his right state of mind when he committed a crime but the worst part was it was committed against his family. So now 15 years since his arrest he is finally being released. His own stipulation with parole is to live with his father for 90 days. Nash is not inky nervous to be in his home but now he gets to meet his adoptive sister for the first time. He thinks everything is fine until he starts to develop feelings for her. Not only is she is adoptive sister but he is also 20 years older than her.
Will they be able to resists each other? Will Ivy’s inexperience turn him away? Will their parents keep them apart?
You’ll just have read to find out those answers and more!

Undeniably one of the best books in this series. Chelle never disappoints with her taboo and her walking the line of forbidden but Ivy & Nash's story is one of true beauty. The way Nash has transformed his life and is willing to do anything to keep Ivy safe no matter what and how he is so focused on ensuring that his Dad & Mercy aren't aware of her issues. He has taken Ivy under his wings and he is not letting her go. She will behave and be his "good girl" and will stop making decisions that inevitably will hurt her if she doesn't stop. This is an intense read and please check the trigger warnings but seeing them find each other and see how they complete what the other has been missing is sheer perfection. I cannot get enough of them and the way Nash has stepped to protect her is heart wrenchingly beautiful and he is definitely hero worthy with all that he is and will do to keep Ivy alive and safe!! I loved every minute of their story and you will too. The age-gap is intense but the way they fit together makes it a non-issue for me. I also think the forbidden is more towards how his Dad feels more than anything. This story will captivate you from start to finish. You will not be able to put it down until you get to the last page where you will cheer and cry with happiness. Happy Reading!!!

For me this has been one of my most anticipated books from Chelle, this has been for various reasons. Knowing who the couple were going to be in the book, intrigued me as to how she was going to write their story and also knowing what topics were going to be covered also made me want to read it too.
This is book 4 in Dark Desires series and follows Nash and Ivy who we already know from Mercy, Nash being Liam’s son and Ivy is Mercy and Liam’s adopted daughter. The book picks up when Nash has served his 15 years in prison and comes to live with Liam and his family. He has never met his adopted sister as he was already in prison when Mercy and Liam adopted Ivy (who was a very young cancer patient of Liam’s)
The romance is unusual because of the couple’s circumstances but there is so much going for them too. Nash sees so many things in Ivy that he recognises from his old self, almost immediately knowing she is using some form of drugs (being addicted to prescription drugs) which has not been noticed even by her parents. This is a recurring them as Ivy doesn’t feel noticed in anyway by her parents and feels like they don’t love her anymore, there’s a lot of issues there.
I honestly didn’t know whether I would get to love Nash because of his background in the book Mercy but I’ve got to say I think he’s my favourite male main character that Chelle has wrote. I also think that this book has been the most emotionally charged book that I’ve read of hers, the story is gripping, the characters have massive growth in them and the content has been handled with great care.
Amazing work Chelle, you are truly an inspiration!

Undone, the fourth book in the Dark Desires series by Chelle Rose is a dark forbidden adopted sibling romance and it was on fire!!! Nash and Ivy were utter perfection and I was 100% there for their story!!! And while it can be read as a standalone i highly recommend you read the entire series as Chelle Rose knows how to create fabulous characters and intriguing storylines that draw you right in!
If youve read the others, then out MMC Nash is one you know, and possibly previously hated lol, and I was extremely excited for his story! After finally serving time for his past transgressions he's back home and living with his dad….and his adoptive sister Ivy—who also happens to be the daughter of his best friend who’s coincidently the wife of his father. Intriguingly captivating storyline remember? 😂 and man was it worth all the ups and downs, twists and turns along the way! This book will take you on quite the ride with all the action, drama and steamy heat—just be sure to mind the triggers and emotional ups and downs along the way! If you’re a fan of forbidden romances then this is the one for you!

So, to say I've been desperate for Nash's story would be an understatement. After his actions against Mercy, I've been so interested to see how his redemption arc would be played out when he's finally released from prison.
Nash is one of those characters who, firstly, melts the pages with his hotness and that alpha dominance that might also melt panties too (pleading the fifth here), but also he has such a big heart. He sees right through Ivy so fast and so intensely that he's literally her ideal saviour. I loved every moment of their time together, from their first meeting, to those moments when he stepped in to try and save her from herself, and finally to those super steamy times together.
Ivy, that poor girl, what a rollercoaster of a life so far. She needed someone like Nash to stop her crazy train heading for destruction, and doing it with the force of a bulldozer.
Nash and Ivy's story is everything I'd hoped it would be and SO much more! Loved the appearances from other well known and well loved characters, and the tempting introduction to DeLuca too!

Wow this book was so emotionally charged I’m still reeling. Although there are a few triggers in this book and some of the subject matter is very much taboo, every aspect is very delicately handled and very well written. Nash and Ivy were two of the most intense characters that I have read about in a very long time and their story is so powerful at times it feels like a train coming through your body. I am new to Ms Rose’s books and not knowing anything about her writing was a bit daunting but I am so very glad that I gave this book a chance because it was an amazing book and I know that not only will I definitely be reading more of the books in this series but I will also be very happy to read more of this authors work. This book truly had it all so be prepared for a strong connection to these characters but also a huge emotional roller coaster ride which will rip your heart out. Amazing is the only word that comes to mind to describe this story.
I received an arc copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This is book 4 in Dark Desires series an interconnected book series. It follows Nash - MMC and Ivy - FMC who we already know from Mercy Book, Nash being Liam’s son and Ivy is Mercy and Liam’s adopted daughter. The book picks up when Nash has served his 15 years in prison and comes to live with Liam and his family. He has never met his adopted sister as he was already in prison when Mercy and Liam adopted Ivy (who was a very young cancer patient of Liam’s).
This book journey’s through when Nash meets Ivy after leaving jail and coming back to his father’s home. This starts their journey of starting to relate to one another. Both of them have been through hard times which includes addiction, drug use, kidnapping, and dangerous happenings.
This is a hard story to read. However, I really saw the journey to love, family and survival.

Undone is the fourth installment in Chelle Roses ( Dark Desire Series) and man does it just keep getting better and better . This time around we are introduced to Ivy and Nash ( A Adopted Brother/ Sister/ forbidden romance) well I could not devour it fast enough, in fact I ended up reading well into the early morning and losing so much sleep because once I started I was hooked . Nash and Ivy’s journey is not easy by any means- they both go through so many struggles and and obstacles to be together . I really was not prepared for all the emotions I was going to feel . Everything from being completely speechless, to yelling outta pure frustration, to smiling , to feeling heartbroken and rooting so so hard . Undone just played on all my emotions in so many ways I was not even expecting. I adore Chelle’s writing so much , in fact she just so happens to to be one of my very favorite authors and this is the perfect example of just why .

This book holy shit I really don’t have words to describe how I feel. There was so much emotions within this book you could literally feel the emotions yourself as if you were the character. There was joy, pain, heartbreak but there was also healing, love, growth and overcoming the struggles.
As you can see this is on hell of an emotional ride but the plot is well written with the right amount of spice. Nash is tattooed bad boy, hot as hell with kinks 😍 (sign me up ladies!).
Chelle you did an amazing job as always but this one you really hit the feels with and damn you for that (jokes) I’m pretty sure I cried and laughed at the same time cause I had no idea what to feel 😂.
I recommend reading this book. It’s good to read the others but you don’t have to.
⚠️ Check trigger warnings first before jumping in.

ARC Review!!!!
Crying, Screaming, Throwing Up!!!!
I honestly don't even know where to start. This book was sooo good. Chelle is tremendous at hooking you from page one to the very last word of the book.
Nash, what can I say about this man other than I would crawl to him any day of the week. I fall for the broken ones with the big hearts, and Nash fall perfectly into that category. After returning home from prison to not only start a new life but is stuck reliving his torture from his days on Heroine. Seeing how protective and possessive he is.... golden ticket.
Ivy, what can I say I love her just as much with her broken heart. Ivy comes into home being adopted and dealing with cancer as a teenager. Wanting to feel numb and take all of her pain away she becomes addicted to pills.
Nash goes through the whole tough guy act and saves Ivy from herself while protecting her. It is soo beautiful to see how this story unfolds.
Love, love, love this story.
P.S. Nash can punish me anyday of the week and praise me through text messages!!!
We all love a good taboo story!

Chelle Rose is a BRILLIANT author, she has a special way of world building and bringing the characters to life. If you have not done so yet, I encourage you to pick up any of the dark desires books. They are intertwined stand-alones Her writing style is eloquent and captivating!
Let’s break it down, Ivy a three time Cancer Warrior is use to pain and abandonment as her mother left her during her first cancer battle. Nash, is Ivy’s brother by adoption. Temptation lurks at every encounter, but Nash knows from his past that his father would disown him forever if he ever acted on any of his fantasies. Ivy a hellbent barely of age rebellion only wants what she can’t have….. Nash….
I can not wait for Deluca he is absolutely delicious 🤤
Forbidden romance, age gap, pra!se k!nks unaliving and a few other trigger warnings

I enjoyed this book to a certain extent, Nash’s character and the way he handled Ivy and her feelings was beautiful. However, there were so many grammatical errors, that it kept throwing me off the book. This included spelling mistakes, using the wrong “there” or the wrong “your”, as well as missing commas in sentences and having them put in random places of sentences that made it not make sense.
It was hard to then get back into the book after this. I feel this book needed more time as well, not only in editing, but in the actual book length. They were together for a whole few days and he’s all “you’re mine” it’s never meant to be realistic in these stories, but it was almost eye rolling. I enjoyed the previous books in this series more, however the grammatical errors have always been present. A little disappointed

Book four in the Forbidden Desires series, Undone is Nash and Ivy's story. We first meet Nash in Mercy, and if you haven't had the chance to read those books, you really need to get after it. This story about Nash is a few years later in life, and he's trying to find out where he fits in in the world. Ivy has had an extremely hard life and has been through so much at the early age of 18. Nash and Ivy's story is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, and this one will play with the heart strings just a little. I keep saying there is no way that the next one can be as good as the last, but Chelle keeps out doing herself with each book. I binged this in a day because I was so caught up in the story and needed to know what would happen next. I'm so excited for the next book to come out.

This book ripped my heart out but in a good way as we follow Nash and Ivy as they both travel down dark and twisted paths. Nash finally is free and trying to do the right thing and be a good guy but it's hard when there is a a siren like Ivy there just under his skin. Ivy that girl has been through it all and now another battle with cancer and the feeling that both her parents want nothing to do with her sends her down the drug rabbit hole. I love howbthere was so much push and pull with these 2 as they try to find there way both and as individuals but in the end they make the best choices for themselves and each other. I loved the touching moments with Mercy and Ivy and I hope that we get to see more of these great little gems ofntjem in the future.

Wow…… what a book.
I have not read book 1 in the series where we initially meet Nash so I was coming into his story blind. And what a story it was. I literally could not put this down!
Nash Lexington 🥰🥰 his story is utterly heartbreaking. And Chelle Rose does an amazing job at not hiding the hard issues he and Ivy faced.
This book does cover some issues which people might find tough to read such as drug abuse, forbidden romance and childhood illness. If these are not a trigger to you I would urge you to read this book.
Bravo Chelle Rose. Another amazing book. You deserve all the praise for this one 😭

Estou tentando porque esse livro tem uma pontuação tão alta, provavelmente não li o mesmo livro que os outros porque esse livro foi ruim.
Primeiro que o motivo de Yvi era de revirar os olhos e dar um tapa na cara dela, e gritar: cresça e deixe de ser egoísta.
Não consigo ter empatia por alguém que passou por tantos "quase morte" e teve a sorte de ser adotada por pessoas que ama e ela agir desse jeito?! Me dava a sensação de ingratidão e não de vítima como a autora queria, esse livro não tinha profundidade por mais que autora tentasse, pra mim a ideia estava ótima na cabeça da autora, mas quando foi passada pro papel, não ficou bom.

This is by far my favorite story in the series. Chelle never disappoints with her taboo and dark writing. Ivy and Nash’s story was a great read. It was intense and dark. Chelle has a amazing way of bringing her characters to life and having you anxiously flipping through the pages. The struggles Ivy and Nash go through are intense and touching especially the way they are able to overcome the trauma they each have endured. This really is a great read and I seriously can’t wait for what Chelle writes next.

This book was amazing! I could not put it down! Nash and Ivy are a perfect pair even if they is a twenty year age gap. I think that made it even better! The story is raw and real and can happen to anyone and that’s what makes this book so good! Seeing Nash and Ivy pull through the obstacles they face makes me have faith that others in that situation can do the same. I love Nash and his possessive ways and the way he treats Ivy makes me swoon!!
I feel for Ivy so much but I love that Nash was there for her in every way she needed. I can not wait to see what chelle rose writes next!!!

Undone is the 4th book in the Dark Desires series. The books in this series are intertwined standalones. I still haven’t read the 1st two books, but they are on my tbr. The character build is top-notch, and the storyline is amazing. It’s a story about a forbidden romance between adopted siblings who bond through their traumas. This book will take you on an emotional ride from the very beginning. I couldn’t put it down and I read it in one sitting. Chelle Rose definitely gained a lifelong fan!
As always please be mindful of the trigger warnings, what I like you may not.
Happy Reading!

Oh my gosh so from the beginning of this book, it starts out with Nash getting released from prison. He has spent 15 years in prison when he was in his early 20s he was a drug addict and high on heroin when he kidnapped his best friend Mercy, and tried to rape her and not realize what he was doing. So it’s time for Nash to get out of prison and he hast to spend 90 days at his dad‘s house. In the meantime within that 15 years his dad adopted a girl named Ivy who is battling cancer so he meets her and from the first thing he has a thing for her and things get hot and heavy from there on out.

omg it was soooo good. I loved it!! I can't out put to words my feeling for this book. Chelle wrote this book soo well. I can not even imagine how hard it was for to write something kike this!! You can just feel every emotion. I love how there is different perspectives on how someone starts and becomes an addict. And them over coming it.
And I just love Nash, he can be my adoptive brother anytime!!

Wow, she has done it again. The story of Ivy and Nash, phew what a roller coaster. Ivy is his adopted sister, never met until he's released from prison. This story was phenomenal, a bit taboo,but she writes it so beautifully. The storyline plays in your mind and you forget your reading a book,and boy I hated that it ended. The twist and turns had me on the edge of my seat. Did they make it? Did they find happy ever after? Read to find out,you won't be disappointed!!
