Holy shit! ! Holy fucking shit!! It just ends like that? The last few chapters had me on edge. I knew something was going to happen. Shit! Ah! Must get the last one now! Fuck, I love this series!!! So much! These characters own me. Each of them. I hate Conrad and Lauren. But Leif, Chloe, Aaron, Toby, Sebastian and Payton....all own me. Such a great story. More questions arise but a lot answered too. I hate that son of a bitch with a passion. I hope he gets his ass knocked out.
Gah, that ending! Damn damn damn. Need the last book. Now!!! :(

I read this book in such a short time. I'm so in love with these characters. Don't wanna let go or say goodbye. I hope there are more books in the future. *cries out for more*
I wanna stall for the last book. Damn, I'm itching to find out what happens next though. Fuck! Decisions. Decisions.

OMG, this is such a great book. Timberlyn Scott has done it again. Once I started reading there was no stopping until it was finished. It moved along at a great pace, has fantastic characters and a story you will not be able to walk from until you are done. WOW, this is a must read.

"I could look in her eyes. Her skin was so soft, her eyes reflecting her innocence, just looking at her unhinged me, made me feel things I never thought possible." ~ Sebastian

The further into this series I get the more that I find I can not get enough of Sebastian and Payton. Unraveling takes us so much farther into the feelings of the two of them than Unhinged did. We now get to see them evolving into a couple and trying to figure out what to do with the feelings that they are quickly developing for each other.

Book two takes us on an emotional journey between Sebastian and Payton. I love how we get to follow the story from both perspectives and how they are seeing things. When you meet that special someone and the universe seems to place everything perfectly for the stars to align, time seems to stand still. For Payton and Sebastian we are finding out that this is the type of feelings that they seem to have for each other. It is that one in a million butterfly humming that will give you goose bumps. I love how Timberlyn allows us to follow and grasp this with them. The way that she writes allows us to see and become the story which is something that I love. I like being able to feel as if I am apart of what is happening.

As I said before I do hate cliffhangers, but with this series, Timberlyn is not making us wait months and months to see what fate has in store for our couple. With this book she does heat it up a bit for us and gives us a few more mouth watering scenes. Again and the way that she writes the best friends and the parts that they play just add that much more pizzazz to the story. Trust me when I say that I can not wait for the third edition of this series to release. Timberlyn is making me fall in love with these books and I don't know whether to love her or hate her for it because, I feel like I can't get enough. Not to mention that I have to set and sweat it out for the next one because once I start the story, I can not put it down until I have finished it... and trust me when I say that you will find yourself in the same situation. Hang on to your seats, because we are starting to hit some bumpy roads and the question is what direction will we end up.. full speed ahead or slamming the brakes????

Unraveling picks up where Unhinged left off. Sebastian has revealed his secret to Payton and they are still together. The secret complicates things a bit due to Payton's job, but she already knew before he had told her linking clues together. This isn't the only secret that Sebastian is hiding, but one gasp at a time. Their relationship develops and they grow closer baring their hearts to one another. Their chemistry is off the chart scorching hot. From the passionate stares to the sexy growls, their shared moments are super steamy. Once their relationship becomes public, people begin to try to come between them. A trip to Vegas reveals just how far those will go to separate them. Both Sebastian and Payton are willing to fight for what is happening between them knowing how rare and precious it is.

I so adore Sebastian. He is a naughty boy with such a passionate heart and loves Payton with everything. I loved reading his inner dialog in every situation he was in especially around Payton. My heart ached for the little boy who had an impossible choice to make when his momma died. But oh how lovely and delicious is the man he has become. I definitely enjoyed his friends as well and can't wait to see more of them to come.

I give Unraveling 5 hearts!

1.5 stars rounded to 2.

Well, I didn't enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed the last one. Why? Well, the "secret" Sebastian's carrying around still hasn't been let out of the bag. What's more annoying than the fact that it's being dragged out is the fact that Payton now no longer seems to care. Everything I liked about her being a strong h, level headed against a hotter than hot H, has dissolved into a big puddle of mush and sap.

What I didn't like:
1) Sebastian. Just spit it out already!
2) Payton. She keeps saying she knows they need to talk, that Sebastian's hiding secrets, but she loves him, so it doesn't really matter any more. ugh. She also divulges a lot of people's secrets. It's really not cool. Sebastian tells her one of his deepest secrets and she goes and spills it the next free moment she has with her friends. Not okay.
3) The sappiness.
4) The writing. Lots of telling, not enough showing.

Wow, wow, wow! The Unhinged series is amazing! I absolutely loved everything about these three books and the emotional connection Sebastian and Payton shared. The series was focused completely on their relationship and I really enjoyed there was almost zero angst between them. They were so committed to each other, it was refreshingly wonderful to read. The supporting characters were colorful and I cannot wait to read Aaliyah's and Leif's story next.

I love these two together....so intense....especially on his part. He really needs Payton around to clear his head. His father...aka the DICK....keeps saying that he is unstable, and you know what, maybe he is, but I really think Payton helps him be calm. I really cant wait to find out what happens and if he really does find out if his mom was murdered or if it was just an accident.

WOW book two had me from page 1 (or 7 in this case) till page 187. The only break I'm taking is to update that I finished this book...and on Chaos by Nicole Edwards writing as Timerlyn Scott to note that I'm starting that book. I gave book 1 4stars, stating a very mild let down from my expectations of a Nicole Edwards book. After reading Unraveling, I am debating on erasing what I wrote on Unhinged "What did you think?". I won't though, change the response, because it was what I truly felt at the time. This is a must read in my opinion. To read this thought you almost need to read Unhinged. I personally guarantee it is worth it. SO GOOD 😊

Man oh man! What an ending. Sebastian and Payton continue on even with some obstacles in their way. Sebastian sure has some secrets but still can’t tell her not yet. But he keeps having this dream and it scares him. What the heck is going to happen next?

Awesome

Another amazing part of Sebastian and Payton's story. How could it end like that, I can't wait to start reading the next book. In this one we got more of Sebastian's secrets, but not all of them. I am loving these two and can't wait to see how it all ends.

Unraveling is book 2 of Timberlyn Scott’s Unhinged series and I have to say I love this series. It’s intense. It’s hot. It’s like falling down the rabbit hole into Payton and Sebastian’s world.

Unraveling picks up where Unhinged lets off. And you see them falling deeper and deeper in love with each other. Their relationship is quick. Way too quick and I have a feeling in the future it will come back and bite them in the ass. They didn’t just fall for each other, they plummeted.

This is one of those reviews, I honestly don’t know how to write. I don’t want to give too much away. I don’t even really know what to say. So much has happened, but we’ve learned so little. It is keeping me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for book 3.

Payton is the type that just goes along, living her life. She’s newly out of college. Finds a job. And then meets Sebastian. And it takes off. Even though she’s been warned not to let it happen.

Sebastian has secrets. One major one came out in this part but there are still more. And for the life of me, I can’t even think to figure it out. Timberlyn Scott has done an excellent job not even hinting at it. Or at least not in a way I have picked up. And I’m dying to know.

This book left off making me want more. Not only because it ends in a cliffhanger but because of the story. I want more of Payton and Sebastian. I want more of their story and the consequences I know will happen. They’ve been in a bit of a bubble of new relationship happiness and that bubble has to burst soon, rather than later.

Unraveling is book 2 in Timberlyn's series Unhinged.
Unhinged was a wonderful start to the series!
The story centres on main characters, Payton & Sebastian.
Unraveling picks up where Unhinged ended, when Sebastian was going to tell Payton who he really is!!
The chemistry these two share is off the charts, I very much enjoyed the way they became somewhat open to each other, and their first time together, holy smokes.... Sebastian surely knows how to treat his girl right!
Payton's friends Chloe & Aaron were such great characters, their protectiveness and love for each other was wonderful to see!! They grounded her, made her see sense when she clearly wasn't sure what to do!
Sebastian's friends were no different & when they go about to do something they shouldn't really do, an accident occurs & then all goes black for one of them!!
OMG my heart was beating so fast while I read the last couple of chapters!
Dreams coming to reality seem to unhinge Sebastian, so to speak and I hope we get to understand why! Destiny or fate coming to him in dreams, who knows?!!
Let's hope the next book won't be too long, I am really dying to know what happens!
Fantastic work Timberlyn!! I love this new series very much!! Bravo Nicole Edwards sweet alter ego.

This series is so fast paced, and I'm loving it! I'm still feeling the awesome chemistry between Payton and Sebastian. Plus, I'm loving all the little side stories with their friends.

As with the first book, I can see what the big secret is that Sebastian is holding inside. But I don't know the particulars and I'm looking forward to knowing what those are and if I'm correct.

I have to say that Payton's parents give me pause. On one hand, when she's talking about her parents when not with them it seems she grew up in a strict but loving home. Yet the times she's been with her dad he seems more than strict. In fact, he seems pretty unreasonable. And that he hasn't taken the time to really understand what his daughter's job is but wants to criticize her duties and say she shouldn't have to do x, y or z...that annoys me.

I wasn't necessarily happy that Payton spouted off to her friends about Sebastian's parentage either. He didn't tell her not to, but it's obvious it's not a known fact. In the very least, she should tell them not to say anything to others.

Anyway, still loving this trilogy. I almost don't want to read the next book because I know it's the end.

After the way the last book ending, I was immensely disappointed in the beginning of the book. Like if you're going to spill the beans just get everything out at once, but NOOOO. And it still isn't out by the end of the book which is so frustrating. You want to know what else is frustrating? The fact that Peyton has known Sebastian for a week and even though she know virtually nothing about him she suddenly "loves" him. But when her roommate wants to take home Toby with her, Peyton is all judgey because they've know each other like a day less then Sebastian and Peyton and Peyton thinks Chloe is being "impulsive". Peyton thy name is hypocrite. It's a good thing these books are so short or I would have given up by now.

5 STARS!

Hot. Sweet. Sexy. Suspenseful. Jaw Dropping.

This book is the second in the series and continues the story of Sebastian and Payton. This book picks up where book one's gasping cliffhanger ended. And I desperately wanted to know his secret! As Payton and Sebastian heat up and grow closer, the chemistry them explodes.

Twists. Turns. Secrets.

As their relationship flourishes, it will not be an easy road for a Sebastian and Payton. Will these two be able to make it out? Will they fight for their love? Will Sebastian and Payton find their happy ending?

I love Sebastian and have since the beginning. These two really spoke to me on an emotional level and this book really I could feel their connection. I cannot wait for the final installment and for all of the pieces of the puzzle to be set!

I highly recommend this book and series.

This the second great installment in this series and I am still addicted! I am so glad all the books are out so that I do not have to wait, I think the wait would kill me! I am dying to know what Sebastian's secret is! I have totally devoured these first two books! I am a little disappointed as I thought there would be something mystical, with the dreams and all, but it is still a fabulous story!

Sebastian is still his hot, alpha self with just enough softness and skill to keep you panting. Payton needs to be a little more demanding, it is hard to truly love someone that you know is hiding secrets. Will they ever tell each other about the dreams?

The group of friends is great, Aaron is the awesome gay friend, Chloe is the outspoken BFF, Toby and Leif are loyal and awesome. There is a great group of characters that could build into their own stories!

I am off the read the final book in the series, I am hoping it is all I expect it to be!

Still raw oh my, I won this series in a giveaway and am so happy I did I've enjoyed it thoroughly I highly recommend it! I adored Payton as a strong, loyal, loving female with a good head on her shoulders and strong values....but it was Sebastian that stole my heart in this series, a strong male with a rough past who leads with his heart. He should be cold and cynical but instead he's open and waiting for that one person to show him the love he deserves! You may notice that I posted this same review for all three books but that's because once I started reading them I couldn't stop and literally read them back to back in less than 24 hours because of this some of the specifics are blurred and I don't want to risk giving anything away for anyone who's just starting the series. These are not standalone books and do lead into each other so should be read as a complete series but what a series it is. Enjoy and be prepared to nurse a book hangover when you're done!

I was provided with an ARC for review.
To start, I have to say that after reading Book 1, Unhinged, I thought I loved it, but after reading Unraveling, I am absolutely head over heals IN LOVE with this series!
I have to quote from my review of Book 1, Unhinged, here:
“For her debut into the “New Adult” genre, author Tymberlyn Scott knocked it out of the park with Unhinged! Her writing is amazing, the characters sneak in and grab hold of your heart, and the story line itself that you never want to put it down!”
I’m not entirely happy with the cliffhanger ending of this book. That is really my only complaint with this series. They both end with a cliffy. I normally wouldn’t even pick up a book or series with endings like that, but this author is one of my all-time favorites and I just had to!
I’m waiting all kinds of impatiently right now for Book 3. I want it like yesterday!

This book picks up where Unhinged left off, developing not only the romance between Payton and Sebastian, but throwing some drama with best friends, sisters and creepy cousins, and a jerk of a sperm donor. Intrigue and mystery abound. I'm so thankful that Timberlyn took the time to develop her plot, her characters and did it well. I seriously hate when an author rushes to get to the "good stuff", and don't let the story happen, you miss so much that way. This is definitely not the case, all the background story that she puts into it show, and it makes the story fuller, richer, and a more enjoyable read. Of course as trilogies go by the end of the time you got to the end of this book, you want more, and RIGHT NOW DAMNIT! I couldn't wait for the final book, I wanted to KNOW what the hell was going on!

The story is unraveling slowly.
Sebastian isn't allowed to be with Payton, but he doesn't let anyone tell him what to do. He knows what he wants.
Payton shows a strong character,too. Although she wants to stay with him all the time, she is not clingy.
Their friends are involved and get their own lovestories/relationships.
The storyline is devellopping nicely, but it could use editing. Somehow there was no suspense, you could predict the tide of events.

And…… I am thoroughly annoyed with Mrs.Scott/Edwards for publishing these short “books”. Wait a month and both could have been published as one book. It seems she wants to rake in more money by feeding her readers small pieces. One star reduction for that.

I WILL REPEAT~ SEBASTIAN TROVATO, is sexy as hell (to me) the bad boy with a loving heart, devotion to friends/Payton, wealthy beyond words and keeps it quiet what he does that earns it (not caring about attention, love is all he wants). Conrad (his P.O.S father) is controlling Sebastian every step of the way but that's heading to an end. I'm still loving this dark headed, tattooed, pierced man! I can't stress how happy I am to have a devoted boyfriend in a story although everyone who read SCORNFULLY YOURS (torn series) and met BASS COLE(another devoted, for the most part)...understands and many became "Basswhores" you would have to read to understand! That series was the best!! Love triangle but oh my was it great!! On to some more Sebastian, yes!

Secrets drive me crazy

Sebastian and Payton are forming a tight bond. they love each other but there is still some secret that he seems to think will destroy everyone. his father, Conrad, who is also Paytons boss, is up to something with trying to portray Sebastian as unstable.
he has noise in is head that only Payton can calm him. so Aaliyah loves Leif ( Sebastian sister and best friend). Chloe and Toby are together ( paytons roommate and Sebastian friend) . Aaron is also their gay bff.
their premonition dreams of finding each other has added to the intensity of their connection.
I'm still waiting to find out secret....my patience is running thin.

What can I say? Another great book by Timberlyn Scott.
This is the next installment of the Unhinged series and it doesn't disappoint. This picks up where Unhinged left off and we get to see a bit more into Sebastian and Payton's relationship.
We learn more of Sebastian's life, his identity a secret from everyone, bar his family. Payton learns his secret but it doesn't detract from their building relationship.
Hearing what Sebastian has had to go through in life just makes him more endearing to us and happy that he has met Payton, who has calmed the chaos of his life.
It has left me hanging, waiting impatiently for the next installment.

Okay I'm still wondering what the big secret is that Sebastian is holding onto because he still hasn't told. I'm also wondering what it has to do with Conrad. It is bound to be something big because he fears losing Payton burin don't think that will happen. She is very caring and open minded. She sees more to Sebastian than anyone else and she loves him. And OMG another cliffhanger and this was worse. But once again thank goodness the third book is out and j have it waiting one me because I wouldn't be able to take the suspense.
I love the possessive side of Sebastian too. He doesn't do it out of pure jealousy but from love and caring and worry. I'm so excited to see what it is.

A little more action, a wee bit more revealing, tons more questions, and a whole lot more emotional heat between couples. Yes the suspense is finally becoming a bit more intriguing or enough for me to continue on in the final phase of this series.

More details are coming out and enabling the reader to fall in love with the sexy, mysterious, enigmatic Sebastian, yum! The heat and chemistry between Payton and her hunk is scorching and you begin to see how two souls collide. I do love cliffys and you won't be disappointed if you like them to, this one has a whopper and I believe it will be worth it in the long run!
