Displayed: One Married Couple's BDSM Journey

by Logan Black, Skylar Quinn

Allie

It was supposed to have been a couple’s getaway. Erik had arranged a stay at a haunted hotel where he and I could indulge in each other away from kids and parental responsibilities.

The only witnesses to our escapades would be the ghosts who supposedly roamed the halls. I’d always been a history buff — maybe at heart I was an exhibitionist too?

But one call was all it took to dash our hopes and send us racing back home in the middle of the night.

Luckily for me, Erik had a backup plan.

Erik

Thank God for grandma. Once the dust settled and it became clear my youngest wasn’t dying, she volunteered to watch him so we could salvage some of our weekend.

Allie’s talk about spying ghosts had given me an idea, but I’d need some help from our friends to pull it off.

We’d met Ron and Dahlia our first time at Club Noir. They’d been in the lifestyle a lot longer than us, and they had a lot to teach a couple of newbies like us.

They also liked to watch.

Untying the Knot

Erik and Allie worked hard to build a life they were proud of. It wasn’t easy, but by the time they reached their forties, they were content. Not just husband and wife, but also mother and father to three energetic boys. Unfortunately, that didn’t leave much time for each other.

This series is their journey to reinvent their intimacy by diving into the world of BDSM. Their love takes them on a year-long exploration of themselves and each other. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of self-discovery to untie the knot of suburban domesticity.

I love a good voyeurism scene!!! But I’m intrigued by the ending

Thank the heavens for backup plans and grandma!

Being a married couple with kids means that not every single thing is going to work out as it should primarily, date night. Erik and Allie were supposed to have a kid free weekend and explore all that San Antonio as well as their bodies have to offer.

Except plans change.

Not to fret, they still managed to grab an entire kid free night and plan on making the most of it and they did.

Allie was the star of the show for me in Displayed. She had to put aside a lot of fear and trust her husband to let others see her at her most intimate.

Logan and Skylar's, Untying the Knot Series is to be worshipped. Much like Erik worships his wife. That's because after being married for so long, a rut is bound to happen eventually. These two put their trust in one another and explore the lifestyle that is a bit heavier on spankings and well, you can fill in the blank.

Loved every moment of this one, including the realistic moment of a change of plans weekend due to a sick child. I'm so excited to see where this relationship goes and if we'll meet Delilah and Ron again!

Another great addition to the Untying the Knot Series. This series has kept up the realistic picture of a married couple with children. Their vacation without the kids is off to a rough start when plans change. So they go back to their exploration journey. This is another enjoyable installment in the series. I continue to recommend this dual perspective series and can't wait until the next one.

Such a very fun and very hot series to read. I have loved reading how Erik and Sarah have explored and enjoyed their new desires. Cannot wait to read the next 6 books.

Allie and Erik have plans to go to a hotel but end up at the couple's house that they met in at Club Noir their boys go on a camping trip and grandma ends up taking care of one of them...

[Lisa Bing · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is another fun and hot read showcasing Eric and Allie's exploration into the BDSM world to spice up their marriage. Of course, central to this series are the interruptions of their kids. This happens in this story when one of their kids falls ill and messes up their plans. Of course, a quick side shuffle and they have new plans...that were definitely spicy ;P I'm enjoying how their story is shifting to include others and I can't wait to see if Delilah and Ron meet with them again. Good fun!

A sick kiddo puts a damper on Allie and Erik’s much needed getaway weekend. But all is not lost as Erik turns lemons into lemonade and heads back to Club Noir. This time, not only do they play, they play for a very private viewing audience…

Quinn and Logan’s deft depiction of the demands of real-world family and professional life coexisting with this couple’s sexual exploration of BDSM continues to draw me in and keep me reading.

Displayed is book 6 in the Untying The Knot series. Definitely read this series of short novellas from the beginning and in order. Events, characters and the storyline from all the previous books are carried through the entire series so far and you do not want to miss a thing. There is plenty of spicy action, family dramas and supportive friendships. I am thoroughly enjoying Untying The Knot so far and I am jumping right into the next book, Shared!

[Hazel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved every moment of this one, including the realistic moment of a change of plans weekend due to a sick child because it continues to show the difficulties of being married with children

I love that logan&skylar keeps their books spicy but also realistic to lifes ups and downs because it makes them fun to read but relatable for so many of us

I cant wait to read more of this series

[Courtney Reads Smut · Rating 5 out of 5]

These books just keep getting better and better. I’m so glad that Dahlia & Ron from the previous book made another appearance!

I cannot wait to see what Logan & Skylar have planned for the next book.

❤️ Married

The Series - Untying the Knot - book 6 and they just keep getting better and better! The books are so real - as any person with kids can tell you! In this book Erik and Allie end up with another couple at Club Noir. The interaction between the 4 is so HOT! I love the way the authors can make you feel like you are there with the characters or sometimes better yet you ARE one of the characters. As soon as I finish one of these books I am chomping at the bit for the next one! Great Book - Great series!

Back at the club they agree to have Dahlia teach them more about BDSM while Ron watches. During the scene Dahlia touches Allie’s nipples and the two kiss.
