Clamped: One Married Couple's BDSM Journey

by Skylar Quinn, Logan Black

Allie

I had it out with Erik have when we got home from Club Noir.

I'd seen the look in his eyes, the stolen glances, his eagerness to be with our Domme. It filled me with anxiety and made my stomach turn. We were opening our marriage, sure, but that was how he was supposed to be with me, not her.

Maybe I wasn't cut out for this whole non-monogamy thing. And if so, how were Erik and I ever going to be right again?

Erik

I should have told Allie about the flirtatious texts and the way Dahlia turned my guts to jelly. But I didn't want to ruin anything. We were both having fun with this new relationship dynamic. I was sure I had a handle on things.

Except I didn't, and Allie saw it, and then my whole world was turned upside down.

We needed help. And unfortunately, the person best suited to help us set things right was the woman who'd been the catalyst for it all.

No one could ever take Allie's place in my heart. I just hoped I could convince her of that.

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.

Great Series

Such a hot series of books creating a story of sexual exploration and growth of a married couple. Skylar Quinn is an excellent author.

[Jess Brady · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you have been keeping up with the Untying the Knot Series, you know in the previous book we learned all about how sharing is caring. That is until it isn't...

Communication in a world such as this is not just a suggestion, it is necessary. Without communication there is no way to know what your partner is feeling and vice versa. By the time those feelings do come to the surface it can be too late to fix what was initially broken.

Allie and Erik have taken us on their journey for nine months and at some point, there was bound to be more than just a bump in the road.

Skylar and Logan gave us a story with passion and heat, while also keeping it very real with how important trust is in any relationship but especially in a relationship like this.

A huge part of me is sad that we've only got three more stories in the world of Allie and Erik, but another part of me is grateful. We've been able to traverse this new world of theirs and learn that just because your life was dying doesn't mean it can't still be revived.

Allie and Erik talk, and she is rightfully pissed about his communications and feelings for Delilah. She banishes him from their bedroom until she can wrap her head around it. Erik turns to Dahlia’s husband Ron for advice. A Facetime video results in some advice and a call to have dinner with the two couples to talk. At the dinner Dahlia and Ron say they have seen and experienced this before, that it is infatuation and not real feelings. They decide to hold of playing for a while. That night, at home, Allie and Erik have WOW make-up sex which includes clothespins on nipples. A deeper story than usual, but the authors are being honest with feelings and consequences. Two thumbs up.

All of the feels…again!

Oh god.

Not gonna lie—I went into this still hurt from Knotted, but…I’m okay now…🤣

These are just getting better and better & their characters have developed flawlessly.

I love this couple. They seriously are the real deal!

Not only does this series give us the scrumptious spice we’re all craving, but they also touch on some pretty serious subjects that could pop up in the midst of any relationship, especially when opening up to the wide world of k!nk.

The fact that this one was focused so heavily on the communication makes me so happy!

I’ll never get tired of these! Keep em’ coming. 😌😏

This is the 9th book in the Untying the Knot series. Allie and Eric had a communication problem in the last book. This book they not only work on their issues and have time to try another item on their list together. This series is so relateable, realistic, and refreshing. Oh, and of course it is spicy. Can't wait for book 10.

[Kristina Schurmann · Rating 5 out of 5]

I needed this book so bad. I need to know how Erik and Allie dealt with their issues. Honestly, it was well done. I love how everything came together. It wasn't perfect but it was real. I love the progression of the series. I definitely recommend this story, series and authors! Such a quick, easy and spicy read! I cant wait for the next one!

[Maria Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one was steamy 🥵. Great read and continuance of Eric and Allie’s exploration. This one addressed some deeper relationship speed bumps when adventuring into the lifestyle. I can’t wait to see what happens next and if they will continue with Dahlia and Ron.

[Krys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my gosh, this book was a total page-turner! 🔥 It had all the spice and relatable vibes that pulled me in super fast—LOL! 😂 I’m counting down the days until the next one drops! You HAVE to dive into this series; it’s a must-read! 📚✨ Happy Reading! 🎉📖

Book nine in the series Allie and Erik go back into just loving each other after not having any communications with each other...

[James · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s not all rope and roses.

In the real world the road to opening a marriage is never a perfectly smooth one, and true to form, Erik and Allie hit some bumps in their own road. Erik knocks Allie for a loop when he crosses a line and catches feelings for a play partner.

Quinn and Black continue to keep it both real and spicy as they take us through the Campbell’s continuing exploration of kink and non-monogamy. While the story is fiction, the toys, techniques, and troubles are not. More than once something has come up that spurred further investigation on my own part—erotica that educates!

Unfortunately, I found Clamped to be like every other installment of this story—too short. Now the waiting begins for Gagged.

I received a copy of this book via StoryOrigin and am leaving my review.

WOW - this series just keeps getting better. The story starts after "Knotted" ended with tension between Allie and Erik - interesting dynamics on how that is resolved and they begin play with clamps. Logan and Skylar sure got that description spot on. Man this was my book!!! I can hardly wait for the next book - but getting sad the series is 3 books from the end - here's to hoping lots of clamping in the next 3 books!

[Courtney Reads Smut · Rating 5 out of 5]

Picking up where Knotted ended. Erik has stepped into uncharted territory and must fix it. Erik admits his faults and faces them. I am really glad the authors brought this part of BD$M to light. It’s an important part of it. If you want to know what happened, go read the book. Im not giving anything away, lol! But that ending, chefs kiss !!!!!!

I was on pins and needles waiting for this book to see if they could repair what was fracturing from a lack of communication that affected trust, and thankfully, the authors did a fab job bringing Eric and Allie back on the same page...with some really hot make-up s3x ;P So yeah, expect this realistic series to keep bringing it, and to continue rooting hard for this couple. Can't wait for the next book :D

[Sheila M. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clamped picks up where Knotted left off, dealing head on with the tension between Eric and Allie. I seriously wanted to spank Eric for his behavior. Honesty and communication are critical in this type of relationship, and the authors did a great job bringing this to light. This could have derailed their exploration, but it did not, because it was handled appropriately. So…they moved on to clamps. So hot. Can’t wait to see what Allie and Eric get up to in the next book.

[Rodin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Allie and Erik continue their BDSM open marriage journey in this beautiful book.

Five white hot stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Savannah Swade · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've so enjoyed following this series. At the end of the last book, we see a big hiccup in their journey, and I enjoyed the resolution they were able to come to in this one. Showing communication is key in a BD$M journey is important, and I appreciate the authors' highlighting that aspect and not just the spice. Well done. Looking forward to the rest.

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clamped is book 9 in the Untying The Knot series. Absolutely read the Untying The Knot series in order, this is a series with an overall storyline and you will become hooked. These novellas are quick, easy reads with tons of entertainment and self discovery for these complex characters. I am off to read the next book, Gagged!
