Unraveled
Valentine’s night. Three women. A hot new club where anything can happen.
After a life changing tragedy Layla Hunter is finally happy. Michael Banks has pulled her back from the dead and given her a love she’d thought was lost to her forever. Now, all she wants is to return the favor and give him the one thing she swore she’d never do again.
Jillian Banks is up for absolutely anything and her smoking hot fiancé, Leo Santoro, is determined to give it to her. After exploring her fantasies in the privacy of her own home, Jillian’s ready for more and Leo is going above and beyond to make her happy. In return, she’ll do anything to make him proud.
Ruby Stiles isn’t sure what she’s doing at a sex party at one of Chicago’s most anticipated new clubs. Currently she’s blaming it on curiosity.

Sometimes even the best laid plans unravel…

***4 "Sexual" stars***
Well, well, well... I think that i'm in love with this series...
The first book was the love of my life with a beautiful story and of course Michael!!!
(Sorry Layla, i love you too, but he is MY man!!! Okay, and yours too!!!)
The second book was really good with interesting characters but the sex scenes were too much for me!!!
(But that didn't stop me!!! Leo and Gillian were amazing persons and their sex scenes were hot as hell!!! Even when they were too much!!!))
And now, this novel!!!
My Gosh, all the characters of the previous books in one book!!! And even more...
We took a glimpse from the couple of the next book and damn it!!! I need it NOW!!!
This couple intrigued me and made me swoon!!!
(Who could thought that Chad could be my second man???)
But let me be more specific about this story!!!!
It was Valentine's Day and our two main couples from the previous books were about to get out all together and they were going to Brandon's new club... (a sex club in a way but less wild!!!)
In their company were also Chad and Ruby!!!
Who those two are??? We met them both in the first book...
Ruby was Layla's best friend and Chad was the man that Layla went a blind date with but never worked out because of her infatuation with Michael!!!
And how those two could connect with the sex scenery????
Hmmmm.... Wait for a minute there!!!
Well, as i told you, all of them were going to a sex party and all of them had different things on their minds!!!!
This party was Layla's first trip to this kind of club after she and Michael became a thing... and it was the first time that she was about to do it since her ex fiancee's death...
Michael wanted to push Layla's boundaries because it was the only thing that was standing between them and he wanted to make her feel safe again...
I have to say that i still adore this couple!!! Michael and Layla went through lots of things... Layla was a living dead and Michael made her start living again... Together they are so hot and perfect!!!
"Since the first time I saw him it's been like this. So hot we're bound to get burned. Time has only made us stronger. Made me stronger. With Michael, I'm the woman I'm meant to be, and not the shell of the woman I'd become. The road had been long and hard, but I'm finally in a place I'm free of the past. Well, almost.
It's still a dull ache, but it doesn't consume me the way it did. Doesn't run every aspect of my life." {Layla}
Leo and Gillian are together for a year now and they have found the perfect balance in their relationship....
Leo wants to make reality Jillian's darkest fantasies and he is determined to push his own boundaries for giving her what she wants and needs!!!
But is this something that Jillian really wants???
"I can't help thinking of that time, not so long ago, where Leo pushed himself past his own limits trying to give me something he thought I wanted and how it almost ended us. Not that i have that worry now, because we are stronger than ever, and our bond is unbreakable...
But I'm still scared. Scared it doesn't excite him as much as it excites me. I know how he is, how much he wants to give me what he thinks I need, even at the expense of his own comfort.
I don't want him to do something he doesn't want.
It's not worth it." {Jillian}
And finally, we had Ruby and Chad... Two people so different from each other...
Layla wanted to bring them together but is this possible???
Ruby is a normal girl that was attracted always to musicians and her tastes in sex are too normal... But Layla had a different opinion since she knows Ruby's curiosity about her own sex preferences...
She thinks that Ruby needs time to realize and accept that she likes far too normal things!!!
"All her protests that she'd never let a man control her are... telling. She asks too many questions, watches Michael and Leo a little bit too closely, and is a little too interested for casual curiosity. So, I'm giving her a vehicle to find out more, but she'll hav to pick up the keys and start the ignition." {Layla}
Unexpectantly, Chad though he seems preppy and serious and normal, he is also a dominant man...
Something that it seems so unimaginable to Ruby...
So there is a chance between them???
Ruby is terrified but at the same time very intrigued by his presence...
Will she embrace her curiosity and give in to Chad????
"I am wrong about Chad Fellows. He is not harmless. Somehow he's managed to see something I've kept hidden from everyone, including my best friends, and every lover I've had. Without ever touching me. Or really knowing me.
He's dangerous." {Ruby}
Well, for once again, i liked this story...
It kept my interesting untouched and i was craving for more...
I loved all the couples, but i have to admit that my curiosity was raised by Chad and Ruby!!!
And now i'm dying to find out everything about their own story...
Damn!!! April seems so far away!! I need this book now!!!!
""What? Are you trying to say you're like them?"
"Why do you find that hard to believe?"
"Look at how sweet and innocent you are."
Suddenly his expression hardens, and it firms his jaw, putting a gint in his eye.
"Honey, the only babe in the woods here is you." {Ruby-Chad}
Finally, i want to share something that had stuck for a while in my head!...
Jennifer, i really need Brandon's story too!!!
He is such an interesting and hot character!!!

Unraveled is a great addition to the Undone Series. This one is short, sexy and hot. I enjoyed revisiting the two couples we met in the previous books Crave and Sinful. Layla and Michael, and Jillian and Leo are in a D/s relationship and it was interesting to see their respective relationship grow, how much they wanted to please each other and the transparency of their feelings. I loved the emotional connection between the main characters and J. Dawson’s writting style.
This is the story of three women. There is Layla Hunter who wants to give Michael Banks her boyfriend full ownership of her body and to do so, she wants to face her biggest fear and in the process put her traumatic and terrifying past behind her. Behind them.
Then we have Jillian Banks (Michael’s sister) who wants to experience with her fiancé Leo Santoro what she thinks is her deepest and darkest fantasy.
And then we have Ruby Stiles (Layla’s best friend). Ruby’s not into the lifestyle thing. She doesn't get it but is nevertheless curious and desperately intrigued about the D/s dynamic. On Valentine’s night Ruby is invited along with Chad one of their friends at a sex party at one of Chicago’s most anticipated new clubs. Ruby rapidely starts questionning her feelings. Chad awakens a submissive side that she refuses to even contemplate and that she never even considered existed.
These three women will embark on a night of self discovering where boundaries will be tested and true feelings will be revealed.
I've quickly become hooked on the Undone series. Unraveled is a bridge to the third book Debauched which will tell Ruby and Chad’s story and I'm anxious to see where the next book will take them.

Unraveled takes place on Valentine’s Day. Brandon, oh sweet, snarky and sneaky Brandon has opened a new club in downtown Chicago. He is opening its doors for a very exclusive, invitations only, grand opening celebration.
The evening is shared through three perspectives. Those of Layla, Jillian and Ruby. Layla and Jillian each plan to give their men a little something special this Valentines and poor Ruby is not sure why she is even tagging along. Curiosity? Jealousy? On the other hand, it might be because everyone is dying to attend this private party. Ruby is worried about being the fifth wheel when Chad Fellows joins the group. Those of you who have read Crave will remember him as Layla's blind date. Ruby is surprised because she didn't think this was Chad's scene.
Dawson brings out the heat in the afterhours club, but she also gives us fun, swoons and character growth. I enjoyed the teasing between couples and among the six of them. Michael and Jillian are siblings creating plenty of back and forth teasing. I loved watching Layla and Michael reach a pivotal point in their relationship. Leo and Jillian are true lovebirds giving us tenderness and heat. Dawson raised the heat level for this special occasion and continues to make it more about the couple and their growth. Despite the heat level she makes their moments feel genuine, hot and personal.
My favorite part of the evening however was the conversations between Chad and Ruby. I kind of pictured Chad as this sweet, Oxford wearing good guy (totally vanilla) and Dawson made him sexy, charming and very appealing. I have always liked Ruby as she marches to her own drum, and it was great getting to know her. I still cannot wait for Brandon's story. The man is sexy, funny, and sensitive. I am ready to surrender but I have a feeling Dawson will make us wait for his scintillating tale.
The last chapter of Unraveled is told from another perspective (spoilers darling) and it left me counting down the days until Debauched, book three in the Undone series.

I struggled a bit with this book because of the darker turn this book took compared to the previous installments, which made me feel out of my comfort zone, much like Ruby. I still enjoyed it though and I do enjoy Dawson's writing.
However I enjoyed going back to meet my favorite Michael and Layla, whose part in this book added even more to my appreciation of this pair and the love that bonds them together. Likewise, Jillian and Leo's arc in this book was great as well, and I really like how Dawson is thorough in developing her relationships and am excited for further cameos in possible future books of this series.
Lastly, I'm very quite excited to read Ruby and Chad's book, which I hope comes out soon, because I need to know more about their dynamic. The glimpse we get in this novella sets quite a premise, and will have everyone hooked to know more about them.

E-ARC is received thanks to the publisher and Netgalley.
wowowowowow where do I start?
I'll start with I SHOULDN'T BE READING BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO DO BUT I CAN'T HELP IT !!! I requested this book immediately after Jen Dawson informed me it's on Netgalley and I kept refreshing my email for the notification because...well, excited.
ok now on to the important stuff.
It's obvious from my rating that I enjoyed this a lot. I love coming back to the couples from the previous books (I mentally cheered when Michael appeared on the page--I love that man), also I love getting inside Layla's best friend Ruby's head too. also Chad from Craved (!!!!)--I'm pretty excited for Debauched because WE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS MAN. ok? ok.
discussing further under the cut, just in case:
Overall, this book is a great setup for Debauched and I kind of cursed that the book is only coming out in April, drat. I need more Ruby and Chad!

Dawson delivers a Valentine's Day novella just in time the holiday! It was a little different then I was expecting because it's told from 3 different povs.
Layla and Jillian have super hot and super awesome boyfriends and these two ladies what to give them more then a night to remember. They want to make it a fantastic night out. They all set out on the town to attend a mutual friends new club. They invite Ruby and Chad along for the ride except that Ruby isn't really involved in the world her friends are into.. Yet.
This is a series that should definitely be read in order since I didn't read the first one I missed out on getting to know the first couple but as I continue on I am enjoying how different each couple actually is.
I really loved Dawson's characters and the journeys each of them had to deal with to have there own happily ever afters. These characters aren't just in a relationship but they have a partnership. Dawson also has her characters push boundaries to see how far they can take it and that's what makes them even more special. It's not a pass or fail thing but it grows the couples relationships even more.
I am really looking forward to reading Rubys book. She is curious and seems to like
Chad. I can't wait to see how her and Chad finally get together and how their relationship will turn out.

3.5 stars. Little novella that shows the previous couples' (Leo/Jillian and Michael/Layla) Valentine's day at Brandon's new club. It also gave us insight into Ruby, Layla's best friend who is the heroine in the newest book, Debauched.
January 22, 2016
Ok I Loved it and very intrigued about Chad and Ruby!
June 30, 2019
I enjoyed the glimpses into Ruby & Chad's budding relationship ... but for some reason the other beloved couples didn't really interest me
November 30, 2021
I was only here for Ruby and Chad’s chapters so I can start on their book. Ruby is Ashley’s bff and I read that series before this.
I wasn’t comfy about the property/possession thingy because that borders on objectification but i did appreciate that the author tied up some relationship and dynamics things more than focusing on actual bdsm things.
Ruby’s internal monologue can be annoying at times. (Ashley’s too in her own book). I mean it starts out with yt girl privilege and idk maybe there’s a better way to show the character’s background without sounding whiny. Also didn’t like the occasional breaking the 4th wall like “if you’re keeping track” or anytime the author uses “you” and refer to the reader.
It takes me out because there was no establishment how the narrator even started talking about this whole thing so a break to the 4th wall comes off weird instead of cheeky.

Absolutely loved this book - not a surprise since it's one of Jennifer Dawson's. We get all three girls (Layla, Jillian, and Ruby) in this book. It's kind of like catching up with Lalya and Jillian. I liked that we got to experience them each finding out that their image of what they dreamed of experiencing wasn't quite accurate. You'll have to read the book to get what I mean. Sorry, not sorry. But the star of the book for me was Ruby (and Chad). Ithurt to experience her pain. Now I have to immediately go re-read Debauched.
February 26, 2020
Don't read this one if you haven't read the first two...and don't read the next one until you've read this one.
The first two couples are moving along in their relationships and we get the beginning of the third. Loved seeing how Michael & Layla and Leo & Jillian's relationships are progressing. Plus there's the tease for the next couple.
Still have an issue with flow and consistency since in book 1 Layla and Leo are married and this one they are just engaged.

This novella is my first taste of Jennifer Dawson but it won't be my last! This amazing story of three couples at a Valentine's Day event stole my heart and made me want to know more about them all, how they got to know one another, though it gives a touch of the background sufficiently for a stand alone. And I'm dying to see what becomes of Chad and Ruby, since she reminds me so much of myself. Bravo, Jennifer! You've got a fan!
January 28, 2019
Loved the story good to see all three couples together and wherewithal Kayla Leo jolly worked out their kinks will be interesting to see where Chad and ruby go with their story in "debauched" would highly recommend
January 17, 2025
I've read this more than once. I've never been a huge fan of the Layla/Michael storyline but I read it mainly for Ruby and Chad who are my favorite couple in this series. It's a nice introduction to them before their book. I would definitely read the other books first though.
November 3, 2017
Pretty sentimental for what was supposed to be a hot read. Not much happened.
November 6, 2017
Just Ok for me
The book was ok. It was not long on the plot but ok for the genre. I am not reading anymore in thisvseries.

Pretty good novella, but was it necessary...ummm NO. I didn't add anything to the other books but it was OK, just a single event that included all the different characters.

Today I'm featuring Jennifer Dawson's Valentine's Day themed novella Unraveled. Make sure you check out the giveaway after my review below!
So Valentine's Day... the holiday that has been hyped up for lovers where all your romantic dreams will come true...right? That's the way it's supposed to happen, Hallmark told me so, dammit!
Yeah, it never quite lives up to my expectations...
For Layla and Jillian, though, they have awesome boyfriends they are both hella thankful for. So Layla and Jillian want to give Michael and Leo a fantastic night out at their mutual friend's new club. Along for the ride is Ruby, Layla's best friend from college and Chad, a friend of Layla's as well.
Before I go any further, I want to strongly suggest that you read the Undone series in order. I implore you, to get the most out of this story and understand the crux of the situations each "couple" is in, go back and start with the first book in the series, Crave . I've done my civic duty; you've been warned ;)
The story is told in three points of view: Layla's, Jillian's, and Ruby's.
I absolutely adored getting back to Layla and Michael. I actually had to remind myself that the time frame for the three books in this series are a little out of order so Unraveled actually takes place just after Layla and Michael's book, Crave. I had to remind myself as I was reading Unraveled that their relationship is still new. I kind of missed these two love birds.
The thing I like most about Ms. Dawson's writing is that she doesn't just write a romance, she writes more of a "relationship-romance". She puts two people together specifically to see how the one person can help the other person, and vice versa. And not just help like, "Here's a dollar." Help as in connecting to a need deep down in someone's soul that makes them complete. But Ms. Dawson makes it so it reciprocal, or at least it has been in the first two books.
That's why I'm really looking forward to Ruby's book next. But I'm getting ahead of myself. In Unraveled, Ruby is tagging along to this private "sex" party to observe first hand the relationship between a Dom and his or her sub. Ruby has been curious since the first book. We finally learn her reason why she's so curious in THIS book!
Despite being left completely in the lurch at the end with Ruby's tale (her book is coming out in April - too far away!!), I totally ate up this story in the matter of a day. I loved the twists, turns, and surprises! I recommend this series to anyone who is just getting into reading the more erotic literature because how it portrays the overall relationship - the mind, the body, and the heart.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Why I read it: Every now and then an author comes along who you will read anything by; Jennifer Dawson is one of those for me. I'm yet to read anything other than the Undone series, but you can bet the rest of her books are on my kindle, just waiting for me to find the time (soon, oh yes. Very soon).
Plot: Ruby is curious enough about Layla and Jillian's submissive roles in their relationships, that she has agreed to visit what is essentially a sex club with them and their partners on its invite only, grand opening night (Valentine's Day - of course!) but will she get more than she bargained for? And is she ready for it?
Meanwhile Leo has great plans for Jillian, and Michael for Layla. It should be a great night for them all, but will things go as expected?
My Thoughts: I usually write notes as I'm reading, so I can refer to them when I write my reviews. For the last two Jennifer Dawson books though, I have failed to do this because I've been too busy powering through those pages! So I have nothing to say...
Oh no wait. That's a lie. Oops!
Unraveled is told by three POVs. Jillian and Layla, who we have both met before, and Ruby - who we've only met briefly through Layla. Ruby does not have the same lifestyle as the other two (who are submissive to their partners...when they're not misbehaving!) but Layla thinks her curiosity runs deeper than she would care to admit.
So on Valentine's Day, Ruby visits Brandon's new club with them (seriously, when are we getting his story?!) and the last thing she expects is Chad, who she assumes isn't into the lifestyle but is just tagging along so she's not on her own with two couples. Oh how wrong she is!
I must admit, I do like Chad. He seems responsible and level headed, and under those preppy clothes is someone totally hot, I'm sure! He looks out for Ruby, knowing she's confused about what she is feeling. She's half convinced herself they're all crazy, but part of her knows she's more than interested in it - she just needs to stop running away from her fears and let someone teach her (I soooo hope that's what we get in the next book *squee!*)
There's also two other threads of plot we follow. Jillian and Leo - where they push each other to their limits; I think I found this story the most interesting as it brought out a different side of them both; because just how far will you go to please someone? And it stressed the importance of communication in their relationship. It wasn't all serious business though, it got more than a little raunchy ;)
And then there's Layla and Michael, whose relationship is heading to a different level. Again, I really do like these two though it wasn't my favourite plot line.
Unraveled is really a bridge to the third book, Debauched which, if this is anything to go by, will be brilliant and might require ice to cool it down a little ;)
In Brief: A short, but sexy read. Promising great things in the next novel and revisiting the continuing relationships of characters we've already met. This can be read as a standalone, but I'd definitely recommend reading Crave and Sinful first.

Unraveled
Jennifer Dawson
Unraveled is a novella that must be read after reading Crave and Sinful to fully understand and enjoy the story.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Unraveled is a Valentine’s Day Novella, where we get to see how they celebrate a little differently from your traditional couple. By that, I mean at a BDSM party. While Layla and Jillian are old pros at this point, Ruby isn’t. She also doesn’t understand why Layla and Jillian love it so much. Unraveled is 3 stories in one. We have Layla and Michael tackling fears. Jillian and Leo experimenting with a new fantasy, and then there is Ruby, trying to take it all in, while Chad keeps an eye on her.
Overall, I tip my hat to Ms. Dawson. This was a sweet yet sexy story whetting your appetite for the next book in the series. You see more growth from Layla, and it’s nice to see an author writing a broken heroine who isn’t immediately fixed by the hero, but one who is slowly being restored to her former glory. One who is still working to fight off her demons and finally be glued back together. Michael is that glue, and he works hard as well to help Layla as much as he can- Including embarrassing himself because she knows how determined she is, how much she feels like she has something to prove to him. Jillian and Leo are still exploring. Jillian has new fantasies while she is still discovering the lifestyle with Leo. She’s learning the difference between a fantasy and real life play. Yes, there is a huge difference! Leo understands his woman and while giving Jillian her fantasy, he has a few tricks up his sleeve, showing how much he knows, cares for, and loves Jillian.
Ruby. The Newb. She can’t believe what she is witnessing. Chad keeps an eye on her throughout the night and she is shocked when she finds out Sweet Chad likes this lifestyle as well. Her story is crafted so beautifully, you are dying for her book, which is the next of the series.
These characters get under your skin as turn the pages and make you want more. Novellas are hard for me to begin with, but this one? Killed me. I need more. I need more NOW. Jennifer Dawson as a unique way making you fall in love with each new character, while keeping the older ones in your mind as well.

*4.5 Stars*
Oh-hohoho - sooo good! Unraveled was the perfect fix while I'm waiting for the next in the series - as well as the perfect setup for Debauched.
Unraveled takes place in one night - Valentine's Day - and we spend the night with Brandon (whose story I'm anxious for), Layla and Michael, Leo and Jillian, and Ruby and Chad (who I'm not gonna lie - I was hoping for more from him!). They're all attending the private opening of Brandon's newest club. The Lair. And that, in itself, is an experience. But what Unraveled really gives us is this:
a deeper look into and a deeper understanding of the relationships between Layla and Michael, and Jillian and Leo. I loved this. It is said that a D/s relationship is all about trust with the D knowing exactly what the s needs. Dawson, in my opinion, brilliantly conveyed exactly that between these couples. Layla and Jillian thought they knew what they wanted - what they needed - but Michael and Leo gave them what they *knew* was really desired. The even that occurred served to strengthen both relationships on an even deeper level.
an introduction to BDSM and the beginning of a deeper introspection for Ruby. She's always been curious about her best friend, Layla's lifestyle choices but has sworn it isn't for her. Spending the evening being up close and personal with the lifestyle, and in the company of Chad, has Ruby's brain spinning - especially since Chad seems to be so observant and insightful towards her.
I delighted in getting updates on Layla and Michael, and Jillian and Leo - seeing their bonds strengthen. But with Unraveled, Ms. Dawson whetted my appetite for Debauched. I'm anxiously awaiting its release and the continuation of Ruby and Chad's story.

ARC gifted in exchange for an honest review.
What this book is: a novella about Layla/Michael and Leo/Jillian and then Ruby (Layla's bestie) and Chad that is kind of the new guy.
What this book is not: a full fledged book. It's a novella that kind of bridges the gap between all of these characters and sets up Ruby's book (book 3).
Now, that being said...this novella is good as far as the scenes and how they play out with respect to each couple and how these couples have formed a bond. There is a lot of "finding" what works for these couples in this book and self revelation. There are a few dark areas that I wasn't completely fond of but what I did get was a better understanding of these relationships and why they worked for these couples.
In addition, I think this book is an essential read for those who will want a better understanding of Ruby and Chad's set up of sorts. Ruby comes to terms with a lot of things in this book and starts to see things differently. She is left unsettled by Layla not needing her like she did after her husband died.
All in all a good novella with a great set up for book three. It was also one of those stories where I enjoyed seeing the characters from the first two books again and enjoyed seeing them happy.
I gave this book four stars because while it was good, it was a little dark in places for me and I wasn't entirely comfortable. That being said, I understood the why of it all so while it made the story line, it wasn't my favorite.

Read the full review on Bookaholics Not-So-Anonymous.
Note: This ARC was provided by CrushStar Media in exchange for an honest review.
This was a short read, but one that gives fans of the series a look at how far Layla and Michael and Jillian and Leo have come in their respective relationships. There's a great deal of love and trust that's already there, but they test themselves and the integrity and stability of their relationships when they see just how far past their boundaries they're able to go. As always, author Jennifer Dawson brings together the right amounts of sex and eroticism with love and passion, making it clear that it isn't just about BDSM with these two couples. And, of course, there are also lighter moments to counterbalance the intense moments.
The return of Ruby and Chad to the series was a curious one, especially since it's clear that they're up next in the third full-length novel, Debauched. Chad was memorable as Layla's blind date in book one, and a guy as nice as him definitely deserves a shot at finding a happy ending. Ruby, too, was someone who stood out as Layla's best friend, and her interactions with Chad feel different from the ones between the first two couples. With the little we learned about them in Crave and her in this novella, it's looking like Debauched will be one very interesting read in April. Unraveled was a highly satisfying five-star novella. ♥

**ARC provided by publisher for honest review***
Perfect Valentines read. This will catch you up on Lyla and Michael. It will show you more of Jillian and Leo, and introduce you to Ruby and Chad. All through the book I was disinterested in Ruby. She seemed judgmental and jealous. But I think it is because I was SOO interested in the other two couples. By the end I was interested to see how Chad was going to HANDLE her. I will definitely look forward to that. My middle interest surprisingly was Layla an and Michael. While they provide great entertainment at the beginning of the book, the scene they did didn’t click with me. But when I got completely done I think it really wasn’t meant to. It was meant for them to grow as a couple when they realized they were trying to hard to make something work that comes so natural for them. In perspective I kind of like how the author gave us that issue, it shows a reader that happily ever after doesn’t mean perfect. Jillian and Leo’s set up was amazing. I kind of new the punchline while it was happening but was still on pins and needles to see the reaction. I loved how they were willing to push for each other, and in the end found an even deeper connection and better understanding. This is why it is perfect book for valentines. Not only does it take place then, but if you have been married a while like me your valentines sometimes don’t always live up to the hype. This book shows that even the best of characters have down times.

I love love loved this book. I fell in love with this series after reading about Michael and Layla and fell deeper in love reading about Leo and Jillian. God. How amazing are these men?
This series is probably one of the best I've ever read. It's a BDSM series yes, but it's so beyond the smut you have no idea. It's poignant and emotional and you feel their connections. I was so happy to be able to be reunited with my 2 favorite couples while being introduced to Ruby and Chad. We met Chad in book 1 as a blind date for Layla before she hooked up with Michael. Thankfully there wasn't a connection because we see how perfect she is with Michael, but I was always curious about him and wanted more.
Enter Ruby. She is a friend of Layla and a complete novice to the world. She has questions and preconceived ideas about the lifestyle but really has no idea. The author does an amazing job setting up Ruby and Chad's book as their connection and sexual chemistry was palpable!
I was very fortunate to receive an ARC of Chad and Ruby's book, Debauched, and I can't wait to start it right meoow!
