Gagged: One Married Couple's BDSM Journey

Gagged

Allie

So much had happened since Erik and I had begun our bedroom exploration. Good things, to be sure, but it had also been a rollercoaster ride. That's how it is when you're exploring a new lifestyle, after all.

It had been months since my best friend Sidney and I had gotten together, so when we finally made time for some girl talk and margaritas, boy did I have a lot to tell. I just didn't anticipate how fast Sidney would retell my story to our other friends.

Or how quickly it would get back to Erik.

Erik

The road to bedroom liberation isn't a straight line. It's lots of "two steps forward, one step back." I wasn't exactly ashamed of all my missteps. I just wasn't ready for our friends to know all about them.

I played it off, joking with Allie that I'd have to gag her to keep her from spilling all our secrets in the future. But the gleam she got in her eye at that suggestion told me she'd be just fine with that idea.

It also gave me an idea for what we'd be trying next. And it wouldn't be just my name in Allie's mouth, this time.

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.

Um…🥵🥵🥵

I don’t even know what words are right now. So, I’ll review this to the best of my ability…

Holy sh*t!!!!

I don’t think my mouth stayed closed for the last portion of the book. Pretty sure I may have even whimpered a little myself. Don’t judge me.

That was so hot 💦
Jeeze…🔥

Especially that one part…good god…🌊

Every time I sink into a new book in this series, I think "there's no way they can top the last one" but somehow Logan and Skylar manage to!
Gagged is utterly delicious, possibly the most delicious of the series so far. I absolutely loved the couples brief return to being Allie and Erik, the married couple who fell deeply in love with one another instead of Sir and his Little S1ut. Their return to just their relationship was brilliant after the last story.
Easily a 5 star read for me and
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ extra spicy!

In all of my years of exploration a ball gag has never really called to me, until now...

Over the course of the last year Erik and Allie have rediscovered the intimacy they once thought was lost. There has been an abundance of exploration, as well as some rough moments. The communication in this series is next level. It showed you the communication, the lack of it, then it showed you the after math.

Which is in a way where Gagged kind of finds it stride.
As does Erik when they find another new toy to play with.

This book wasn't the naughtiest of the series, but it did show Allie when she was vulnerable, as any of us would be when our senses were obstructed for the first time.

It makes you focus more on the ones you do have available which holds its own kind of desire.

Diving right into the next because I have to know what happens when someone gets Denied.

BTW, Allie wasn't the only one making a mess. IYKYK.

Ball Gag and Blindfold

Yet another superb chapter in this erotic journey of Erik and Allie. Their continued successful growth as a couple is evident when there is a short meeting with their former domme and her sub/husband. What better proof than Allie reaching the rarely attained level of sub-space.
If I had to name one negative aspect of this particular novella, it is that their story is coming to an end: only two chapters left.
I cannot give this offering from Quinn and Black a high enough recommendation.

Untying the Knot is such a realistic view of a married couple experimenting in the world of BDSM. Book 10 is no different. They are still repairing their relationship from a previous book. This time, a joke about how Erik can keep Allie's mouth shut turns into a new idea for them to try. They are hot, spicy, and even sweet at times. I'm eager to see what happens with them next.

This short book makes you feel like life can be busy, but also crazy with kids, family & work, but still feel normal when you do get to throw in some spice!!

I am not sure how Logan Black and Skylar Quinn keep topping themselves but they continue to do it. This is another HOT and Spicy quick read. I could not put it down! I love how Erik and Allie are continuing their journey even after their setback. I highly recommend this book, series, and authors. I can't wait for the next one!

I did not anticipate this development, especially given the challenges Erik and Allie faced with the lifestyle, and their decision to focus solely on the two of them for the time being. I wasn't sure it would become as spicy as it has. However, the process of rebuilding trust and exploring new boundaries has been instrumental in increasing the excitement. For them and for me 🥵…

Gagged: One Married Couple's BDSM Journey is book ten in the Untying the Knot series, and this installment leans into something that feels very real for long-term relationships. The occasional awkward moment that reminds you that growth isn’t always smooth.

By this point in the series, Allie and Erik have already come a long way in their exploration. What I continue to love about this series is that their journey still isn’t treated as something effortless. Even when a couple communicates well, misunderstandings and uncomfortable moments can still happen, and this book touches on that in a very human way.

One thing I really enjoy is how natural their relationship feels. They joke with each other. They get embarrassed. They sometimes stumble while figuring things out. None of it feels overly dramatic. It just feels like two people who care deeply about each other learning as they go.

Their dynamic continues to be built on the same foundation we’ve seen from the beginning: trust, communication, and the willingness to talk things through even when it’s uncomfortable. That groundedness is what keeps the story relatable despite the more adventurous elements of their exploration.

I also like how the series keeps showing their growth as a couple. They aren’t the same hesitant people they were at the beginning of the journey. There’s more confidence now, more playfulness, and a deeper understanding of each other’s boundaries and desires.

At its heart, this installment still feels like what the entire series has been about a married couple choosing to keep rediscovering each other instead of letting routine slowly take over their relationship. I appreciated that the conflict in this book isn’t explosive.

It’s another quick read, but it continues to show that intimacy in a long-term relationship can keep evolving when both people are willing to stay open, honest, and curious together. This installment feels lighter in tone but still meaningful. It shows that exploration doesn’t have to be dramatic to be impactful. Sometimes growth looks like laughing at a misstep and turning it into something intimate instead of letting it drive a wedge between you.

As always be mindful of trigger warnings, what I like you may not.

Happy Reading 🤍📚

I’ve loved this series from the start for its realism in the portrayal of a married couple exploring kink. I’ve also appreciated the accuracy the authors put into describing the various toys and situations that Allie and Erik have tried. Sometimes their adventures really resonate, and sometimes limits are discovered. In this installment I have concluded that gags and sawhorses are a hard no for me.

The writing is sharp as ever, and I still love Allie and Erik, but this was one step in their journey I just could not get into. YMMV.

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

This is another fab addition to the series and I was thrilled to see Allie and Erik step back, for a moment, into being just a couple with kids again. After the last couple of books being so intense, this was well done for their story and reminded me of the start of their journey...sort of ;P Of course, it's still hot! hot! hot! and I can't wait to see what comes for them with the next book ;D

I love this series, and this was another great installment, showing the continued healing from the struggle of book 8. I love the communication aspect and how open and honest they are with each other- and that both partners LISTEN!

Kind of want to smack her friend, but I do think this is realistic from what you can expect when you tell a secret... Eager to see if this storyline continues through the last couple of books.

Only critique- release them faster!! LOL.

Allie is feeling liberated from the freedom she is experiencing from her and Eric’s new lifestyle, and Allie shares that information with her best friend, Sidney. Obviously, Allie needs to find a new best friend, because Sidney told others information that wasn’t hers to share. So…Allie and Eric moved on to gags. The authors have outdone themselves with descriptions that are detailed and hot. Like need a fan and cold drink kind of hot. Don’t miss out on this awesome series.

WOW - this series just keeps getting better and better. Allie goes out with a friend and "says" too much. Erik takes her to Club Noir for her "punishment". The title says it all - BUT OMG is this book HOT. I actually read it twice - it was so hot and so descriptive, I read it again to pick up what I missed. This series is awesome - starts out hot and just keeps getting better!
