Blurb taken from the author’s website:

This sensuous short story is the prequel to Liberate Yourself (Previously published as Valentina), the first novel in the Desires Unlocked Trilogy.

In Unlock Yourself let me draw you into the seductive world of Belle when she meets the iconic silent movie star Louise Brooks while wandering in the glittering wintry streets of Berlin in 1929 on a quest to unlock the deepest, most secret part of herself. Louise takes Belle to a place where she can explore her erotic dreams and fantasies while also experience the most intensely romantic liaison she has ever known.

This novella is a wonderful introduction to the Desires Unlocked series.

The story is set in Berlin in 1928 and Ludwika has slipped away from her controlling husband. She is roaming the streets looking for something although she doesn’t know what.

“She needs some inspiration to keep her heart in motion, to stop herself from withering and fading away beneath her husband’s touch.”

Seen by her husband as the instrument necessary to provide him with the offspring he wants, Ludwika wants to feel passion:

“…a communion with a fellow soul.”

When she meets a beautiful young woman called Louise Ludwika allows herself to be brought to a party which will open her eyes to passion and cause her to lose her long hair in favour of a haircut that makes a statement:

“I am no longer encumbered by the wants of men. What I want is what I want for myself.”

Ludwika may have to return to her cold husband before the night is over, she won’t be the same woman. With her newly acquired name, Belle, and an understanding of passion, the woman has discovered that freedom is achievable, even within the confines of an unhappy marriage, if only she has the courage to go look for it.

This free novella is a wonderful introduction to Evie Blake’s writing and her “Desires Unlocked” titles. Even with only 48 pages to work with Evie Blake gives her readers a wonderful sample of her exquisite writing, her wonderful way with words and impressive storytelling powers. At the same time, readers who have already read the first book in the trilogy, are given a wonderful opportunity to spend a little more time with Bella and find out how this wonderful character discovered her passion.

This is a lot more than just another erotic short; this is sexy story told in a literary style. You’ll read this book for the beautiful writing as much as for the tantalizing subject.

Do yourself a huge favour and pick this free novella up from Amazon (.co.uk or .com) and allow it to lead you on to the full Desires Unlocked Trilogy.
