Undone #1
Undone, Volume 1
Take one bad boy rock god. Mix slowly with one wholesome librarian. Add a dash of paparazzi, a twist of scandal, and you won’t believe how good this dish tastes.
Ash
It’s pretty easy being a rock god. Party. Perform. P*ssy. Repeat. I’m 26 and it’s worked for me for years. Until I was caught ripping out the heart of America’s Sweetheart in a video gone viral. Now #HatePlayerAsh is trending on Twitter, she’s writing a song about how much I suck and I’m in desperate need image rehab, fast.
Good thing paparazzi chased me into that library. Had I not ducked under that desk I never would have found myself next to the long, sexy legs and disapproving gaze of Anika Ivanov. In my world of use and get used, she’s a unicorn. A kind, 24-year-old, hard-working, family-oriented children’s librarian. My agent agrees, she’s the one to set everything right. All she needs to do is fake a month-long public romance, let the world see me fall hard for her, then dump me in a brutal, public display. It’s genius.
Now I just have to convince her to agree. And convince myself that the only reason I want to spend the month with her is to improve my image. It’s not her full, luscious lips or her soft, seductive laugh or those fantasies I keep having of tying her down to my bed as I make her quiver and pant and call out my name.
Ana
Ash Black. In my library. Under my desk. It’s hard to believe it happened. I’ve listened to his voice so many times, my favourite soundtrack as I walk the streets of New York. My secret bad boy crush, the smouldering, shirtless star of the tabloids, all muscles and tattoos. Then one day he shows up and kisses me in my break room.
What’s even crazier is how he wants me to spend the next month. At his shows in L.A., San Francisco and Vegas, candlelight dinners in New York and Paris. He wants the world to believe he’s fallen in love. With me.
I’ve got to say no. He’s a walking disaster with a dirty mouth and wicked hands that melt my panties right off of me. This month would take everything in my well-ordered, neat little life and shake it up like a snow globe.
Then why am I so tempted to say yes?
**NOTE: 'Undone' is a three-volume hot adult romance. All parts combined, it’s the second story in the "Beg for It" series about the -- dominant, alpha males in Kavanaugh family -- and the strong, sexy women -- who make them finally meet their match.**

Wow !!! OMG this book was fantastic ... This is one of those books that before I ever get finished with prologue or the "One Month From Now", I knew this was going to be good. Let me just say it has surpassed good and went to tremendously fantastic.
Callie Harper turns the heat up right from the start.
Anika (Ana) is a children's librarian, and piano teacher. She is sweet and innocent your all around good girl. She is looking for a little excitement in her life, but when Ash Black comes barreling into her life she might get more than she bargains for.
Ash Black, sexy, arrogant, bad boy rock star. Sex, drugs rock and roll. He is the whole package. After a bad public break up with america's sweetheart Ash finds himself in a bit of a trouble. Fans are hating on him, social media is blowing up and its time for some serious image rehab. #OperationImageReform
I am new to this author so I wasn't sure what to expect going in this story. I am please to say I loved it Callie Harper rocked my world with Undone. Highly Recommend.

Rock star meets girl next door...
You know how in old-school romance novels, when the two main characters first touch there’s like this magic moment? The world stops on its axis and the hero and heroine look at each other and know, they just know they’ve met the love of their life?...
...This wasn’t like that.
“Pretend to be your girlfriend for the month?” Was he joking with me? I looked around. Was someone filming us, like on a reality show?
This story sounds promising and had me intrigued from the beginning. This prologue...

Undone: Volume 1
Undone: Volume 2 *AVAILABLE March 14

Ash Black is in a bit of a jam. See his crazy ex "leaked" a short video of him breaking up with her. And it wasn't a nice break-up. The world knew he was a rockstar, but breaking the heart of America's Sweetheart is not good. #HatePlayerAsh is trending on twitter and it doesn't seem to be dying down anytime soon. What Ash needs is image rehab ASAP. And he finds it in child librarian Anika Ivanov. She's PERFECT. All she needs to do is agree to date him for a month, let the world see Ash fall for her, then publicly dump Ash is a brutal fashion.
The only thing is can he convince Ana to help him...
This is going to be a fun month.
ONE thing drove me crazy about this book. And it wasn't even about the book (writing/characters/story), it was the format. I was reading along, really enjoying the "intro" to what I think is going to be a really great story, then BOOM! At 75% of my e-book, it's done. I was like "Wait... what?? My kindle still says I have 25% left?!?!". Now, I get that authors/publishers want to advertise for future works, but a QUARTER of the book?!?! I'd want 25% of what I'd have paid for it back.
RATING: 4.5 out of 5

Wow.....
Just getting through this first installment and it's easy to see why I absolutely LOVE anything this woman writes!
What's better than a sexy, dominant man? Nothing, unless that same man happens too be a sinfully delicious rocker too - my ultimate weakness.
Enter Ash Black. Even his name sounds yummy. Cocky, confident, and with every right to be - a rock god at the moment. But thanks to some bad press, Ash is now on the hunt for someone to help him rebuild his image.
That's where Anika comes in. A plain, ordinary girl from Brooklyn who happened to be in the right place at the exact right time, she's about to live out every girl's fantasy by spending time with her ultimate rocker crush.
This installment is just a teaser as to what's to come, but believe me it lacks for nothing.
It had plenty of steamy interludes that we've all become accustomed to from Callie Harper's writing. Just the hint of dominance in this first part tells me we are in for one naughty, sexy, dirty ride. And I couldn't be more excited.

Let me once again state clearly that I am not a fan of books that are cut in pieces – a series with cliffhangers is bad enough but cutting a good book into novellas is not the way to go for me – having said my piece about that let me get to my thoughts about the story so far.
Opening an encyclopedia and check under “smug” you should probably find a picture of “Ash” … the newest leading character in Callie Harper’s book “Undone”.
He is so cocky it borders on annoying – but only borders… as he is also kind of endearing so far once you manage to ignore his attitude
.
Lets wait how he develops later in the next part.
## It’s pretty easy being a rock god. Party. Perform. P*ssy. Repeat.##
Ana – well she is a Liberian in so many ways, that you actually believe her part – but – then on the other hand she is totally not the “geek” or “nerd” or whatever you would have expected her to be… yes I guess
##Unicorn## is a good word for her.
The plot itself is not unique but the characters make reading it very enjoyable. The writing is good and so far the characters are likable. Lets wait on the next part to see how the story develops.

This was a good start to this 3-volume rockstar romance. It just was so short that I couldn’t help but rate it 3.5 stars. The main characters, though, were funny and passionate. So, I'm hoping that these two come together with a raw sensual romance. The relationship is based under false pretenses, but the attraction and spark is there underneath it all. Love me some rock romance, and this one has the potential to hit it out of the ballpark. Ash Black is the epitomy of a rockstar God! He’s one hot-mess of a male, though, who seems to get himself into all types of compromising situations. But, he's a guitar genius and has that rough and growling voice that sets the stage on fire. He's muscular. And, sexy. And, is just plain perfection. He says all the right things that has Ana, the kind and hard-working librarian, drooling over his smoldering tattooed body. But, he needs a big-time favor, and Ana’s not sure of exactly what she’s getting herself into. This sets the stage for the beginning of their sham-of-a-love-affair. Looking forward to seeing where the author takes their relationship!!

When I say the story starts off with a bang .. I meant it and ladies get ready to meet one sexy, arrogant Rock Star God that will rival your favorite Book Boyfriend.
Ash will make you blush, pant and scream all the while wishing you were able to hear that panty melting voice talked about all throughout the story. He has the world at his feet and women in his bed. What more can any hot blooded man want right? Well he is on top of the world until he isn't. When his status goes from most wanted to most hated within a span of hours, Ash is left in a tail spin.
Ana is a plain jane on all accounts. She is a librarian, piano teacher and your average run of the mill New Yorker living day by day. Work, home, family ... repeat. Her well ordered world comes to crashing halt when a sexy Rock Star comes barreling into her library.
Ash needs a woman .. sounds funny doesn't it .. but it is not, he really needs someone and fast to help him salvage his reputation which thanks to a you tube is in shreds. Who more perfect than a Librarian with legs for days right? I think this playboy has met his match and it's game on.
A bargain is made, plan set into motion and two people embark on a month long relationship that will leave one of them heart broken.
A fast paced short read Undone will leave you wanting for more and I for one can't wait to read what is in story for this couple. From what I read so far, it's going to be an experience neither one of them will ever forget!

Given a copy of this book for an honest review.
Callie Harper you have done it again. I know I am going to be addicted as soon as I see this author's name on the cover. Her characters are ones that you want to hug, throttle, and f*** at the same time.
Ash is just that type of character. Alpha, sexy, superstar, who makes women drop there panties wherever he goes. He does who and what he wants with no worries about the repercussions until he his set up breaking Americans sweetheart s heart on video. Now he is left trying to find the perfect woman to help restore his name in the public's eyes.
Ash never thought he would find her while hiding under a desk from the paparazzi.
Ana loves music. She also loves her job as a librarian. Buttoned up and a bit straight laced she has a heart of gold. When Ash runs into her library she helps him. She never saw where that help would lead her though.
The chemistry is definitely in the air but the proposal that Ash has for Ana may be too much.
I can't wait for the next installment.

OMFG i am totally going to love this series if vol 1 is anything to go by!!! The characters were perfect for each other and yes... I may have a little bit of a soft spot for Ash, even with his arrogance!!!
Ash has had some bad press with an uploaded video and he and his team are trying to get the 26 year old bad boy rock god singer back into the good books with his fans. He needs to 'date' a woman that is more sweetheart than model... Bring forth Anika!!!
Anika (Ana) is a children's librarian and piano teacher, at 24 is has always been a good girl with a dash of geek!!! When Ash literally falls at her feet in the library, her life is about to change... But will it be a good thing? Or will she live to regret it?
I really enjoyed this book, a brilliant begin to what is going to be an amazing 3 book set! I really can't wait to discover what Callie has planned for vol 2, it's definately going to bed kickass!!!

Well, what to say? I enjoyed this book, but sometimes I wanted to smack Ash. He is a young, hot, sexy, popular rock star that is in love with himself. When he becomes a media sensation after breaking up with his girlfriend, Mandy, a well known American Idol singer, his image takes a big hit.
My agent was correct, a video popped right up under the title "A**hole Ash Black". Only 35 seconds long, someone had caught it on their camera phone, a perfect shot. Mandy Monroe and me in a fancy restaurant last night. Tears streamed down her lovely face. I looked shitfaced, shadows under my eyes, my black hair tufting out in crazy angles.
Listing slightly to the left, I leered at her and asked, "What, are you gonna do? Cry?"
Her lower lip wobbled, those famous big brown eyes brimming with tears. "Why, Ash? Why?" she pleaded.
"You're an idiot," I slurred. "And what's worse, you're boring."
So Ash comes up with a plan to redeem himself. He needs to find a nice sweet girl who will pretend to date him for a month. He will include a marriage proposal at one of his concerts and two weeks later, a messy break-up with him on the losing end.
One day, while trying to get away from paparazzi, he ducks into the local library and winds up hiding under Ana's desk. She is the children's librarian there. She is also a fan of Ash Black and finds it hard to believe that he's hiding out under her desk. He needs to convince her to sign on to this project.
I liked Ana and felt bad for her.
"Right, we need to talk about the terms."
"The terms?" I adjusted myself, settling down again at his side instead of his lap.
"I've got an NDA you'll have to sign. My lawyer Nelson can talk to you about all the details. Or he can talk to your family's attorney if you have one."
Laywers? NDA? What was going on on here? "I don't understand."
This book ends in a cliffhanger, but thankfully, book 2 is ready to go on my kindle!!
My agent was correct, a video popped right up under the title "A**hole Ash Black". Only 35 seconds long, someone had caught it on their camera phone, a perfect shot. Mandy Monroe and me in a fancy restaurant last night. Tears streamed down her lovely face. I looked shitfaced, shadows under my eyes, my black hair tufting out in crazy angles.
Listing slightly to the left, I leered at her and asked, "What, are you gonna do? Cry?"
Her lower lip wobbled, those famous big brown eyes brimming with tears. "Why, Ash? Why?" she pleaded.
"You're an idiot," I slurred. "And what's worse, you're boring."
So Ash comes up with a plan to redeem himself. He needs to find a nice sweet girl who will pretend to date him for a month. He will include a marriage proposal at one of his concerts and two weeks later, a messy break-up with him on the losing end.
One day, while trying to get away from paparazzi, he ducks into the local library and winds up hiding under Ana's desk. She is the children's librarian there. She is also a fan of Ash Black and finds it hard to believe that he's hiding out under her desk. He needs to convince her to sign on to this project.
I liked Ana and felt bad for her.
"Right, we need to talk about the terms."
"The terms?" I adjusted myself, settling down again at his side instead of his lap.
"I've got an NDA you'll have to sign. My lawyer Nelson can talk to you about all the details. Or he can talk to your family's attorney if you have one."
Laywers? NDA? What was going on on here? "I don't understand."
This book ends in a cliffhanger, but thankfully, book 2 is ready to go on my kindle!!

All I can say is hot damn!! Undone had my heart racing and my face flushing within the first pages!! Callie Harper has definitely turned up the heat with this panty melting read. I loved Ash and Anika and I freakin loved this book!!
Ash Black is the epitome of a bad boy rocker. Booze, women and playing hard… it’s what he knows and does best. But even a fulltime Rock God like him f**ks up but this time it was a BIG. Breaking up with America’s sweet heart and fellow musician in public for everyone to see. Watching it play out on video not only landed him in the hot seat but it also caused a backlash of angry fans everywhere and earned him the title of a$$hole.
Anika, Ana, leads a pretty average life. She lives in a three bedroom which she shares with two roommates. She loves and works at a children’s library. In addition to that she gives private piano lessons to wealthy children. Pretty mundane life until Ash Black runs into the library she works at escaping the paparazzi. Hiding under her work counter, Ana is able to convenience them he is not inside the library.
Serendipity, luck, fate, whatever you want to call it? What are the chances of Ash and Ana meeting? Ash in need of a woman to help him repair the damage done to his image after such a disastrous breakup. Ana ready to step outside her comfort zone, take a chance and live a little on the wild side with a bad boy.
And holy hotness Ana’s first evening with Ash!! Could there be more nights like this? And then WTF as Ash pulls out an NDA and begins the proposition?
Undone was a really quick read and hot as sin. Can’t wait to dive into the next book.

I am completely caught up in the world wind romance of Ash and Ana in Undone. I'm loving this serial series!
Ash Black is a badass rock star. Aahhh - he's hella enticing. I couldn't get enough of this character. He's charming and naughty in all the best ways. But every thing about his life is filled with excess; too much booze, women, money and freedom to do as he pleases. The result is a horrible reputation that even the best PR people can't fix without a gimmick.
Enter Anika Ivanov. Ana is completely off the celebrity grid - she lives in New York, working as a librarian and part time piano teacher. She's exactly what Ash needs, in more ways than one. And he is absolutely enchanted by all that Ana is - her goodness and light. He's addicted and isn't sure if he wants to break the habit.
It's because the chemistry between these two characters is potent. Every moment of passion and lust builds between them creating these scenes that you devour as a reader. You are consumed by Ash and Ana. Not only will they get your lady bits tingling but they're so hot that they incinerate all the panties in your house. It's erotic goodness at it's best.
Callie Harper's Undone series is sexy and fun - I was easy drawn into this couple's story. Each installment is a quick but highly enjoyable read that ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. My only warning is this - get all three installments now, you will want them all.

Well can you say opposites attract??? I think this is definitely one of those cases. Ash is a sexy rocker and Ana is a librarian and piano teacher. This was a good quick read. Now I am on to see what becomes of these two and if any other family or friends make it more into the next one.
Ash has his fun and like most people who can blame him. He has the looks, talent, and money. I'm sure we all know someone that gets what they want and never has to try. Well, that is how it seems for Ash. Too bad he lives without a worry and then others try to fix his problems. I am sure it has got to be hard to be famous, but this is one that reminds me of some of the current stars that seem to stay in trouble or in the spotlight for not so great reasons, as well as for their talent.
I think I fall more into the guidelines of Ana. I know how to have fun, but she is guarded. This is her first wild ride if she gives in and decides to go meet him. She is sweet and was brought up that way. I was so glad to see her get out of her shell even if it was a tiny bit. I think it shall be interesting to see where it could lead since more people will know about their relationship even though she isn't used to the popularity.

Jeeeeepers, this was hot from page one!! I was caught hook line and sinker and Callie reeled me right in!
This is my first taste of Callie Harpers writing and I want more!
Ash Black - rock star (erm hot rock star I might add) has been set up and his reputation is in ruins. What can he do to restore the publics adoration for him?
Anika - librarian/piano teacher is one of the nicest people. I couldn't help but like her. Whilst at work one day she has a brief encounter with Ash Black as he's trying to escape the paparazzi but what does this lead to?
I found myself chuckling at Ash's way with words there's nothing like getting to the point. Although he may come across a bit of an arse in this book, I just know I'm going to end up loving him!
This was quite a short read for me so I was gutted when I got to The End, I really do need more! I am itching to get my eyes on volume 2 to see what happens next, I am loving it so far!

This is a fantastic, quick read that packs a big punch. Ash Black, a super sexy, rock God, needs image rehabbing pronto. After being caught on video, ripping out the heart of America's Sweetheart, and it's gone viral. The day he meet Anika Ivanov, is the day his world is turned upside down. Callie Harper's brilliant writing style never fails to reel me in from the very beginning, and HOLY HOTNESS BATMAN, I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Ash Black. The simmering chemistry is so flammable that the explosion will destroy panties everywhere. The well written storyline is fast paced, sexy, and HIGHLY addictive, while flowing effortlessly. Great start to a great new series that I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Every woman, some time in her life has a fantasy of being the ordinary girl who the bad boy rocker at a concert she is at picks her and falls in love with her.

I knew I would like this book when I was reading the first few pages. I liked the concept of falling in love while just pretending to be a couple, two [people who could not be more different form each other, but yet so right for each other. I really liked both Ash and Ana, both for different reasons. They were fun to read. Sweet, sexy, funny but also uncertain. I couldn’t help but root for them even when I had moment I wanted to shake them. But I also felt das for one or both of them for some things that is thrown at them. Overall, great story and I can’t wait to see how it continues for Ash and Ana in the next book. I rate it 4 ★

Great part one intro
Ash the Rock star meets good girl librarian Anna.
Ash needs to clean up his image after bad press and what better way to do it than stage himself dating a good girl who his fans will love.
An act and a proposal for Anna which is to good to resist but you can see the heartache coming.
Really interesting start that had me hooked and can't wait to delve into book two.
Arc gratefully received for honest review Bbbf-sizzlereads-bestbookboyfriends

I LOVED IT! I was not expecting the level of explosive hotness that went on in this book! I wan t ASH to make me come UNDONE! I loved Ana! She was innocent librarian on the outside but in the inside, Ash made her loose control. I could not put this book down! I can easily say that Undone Vol 1-3 is my FAVORITE out of the series! I need more Ash and Ana!!!!

I'm a sucker for a good rocker romance. Ash is a bad boy in need of imagine rehab when Ana,a children's librarian comes into his life, leaving Ash convinced she's just what his image needs. He offers her a deal she can't refuse....Will it work? Guess we're gonna find out...

3 UNDONE STARS (★★★)
*** Disclaimer: I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. However, this doesn’t affect my opinion of this book and the words in this review. ***
Because, what if? What if there was a guy out there who made my blood rush and my heart beat, a guy who could make me laugh and feel wild and reckless and alive. A man who gave me the kind of thrill I felt when listening to my favorite music, that sense that the future was limitless, that I could do anything I wanted and more.
What would you do if one of your idols was suddenly in front of you and would make you a exceptional proposal? He wants you to play his girlfriend to publicly and with a lot of drama break up with him after a month. All to prepare his image. Would you turn down this setup? This happens to Ana in Undone. Her encounter with her favorite rockstar is unexpected, but his proposition is absolutely absurd. After doing a lot of thinking, she decides to participate. Only, she could have never prepare herself for all the big drama that is Ash Black’s life and how much influence it would have on her own life. When I read the abstract for Undone, I was immediately curious. I could sense an original premise, but would the execution do the originality justice?
Undone Volume One is about...
When his break-up with America’s sweetheart Mandy Monroe goes wrong and Ash is on tape scolding her, he finds out how shrewd Mandy is and how vicious the public really is. Mandy cultivates positive publicity for her upcoming album, but Ash is the center of the public’s evil eye. Hashtags such as #HatePlayerAsh and #DieAsh arise. And even though Ash may seem cocky and sure of himself, he isn’t. He starts thinking he really is the asshole everyone thinks he is and that was plain sad. There is a deeper reason for all of his thoughts. All his life, his family has been telling him he is a f*ck up. I guess that would make you believe it and start acting like it. So now, Ash Black is a bad boy rockstar, a cocky and arrogant 26-year-old heartthrob and male slut, only listening to his beloved grandmother.
Ana, a daughter of Russian immigrants, is on the brink of losing her job at the children library she works at, because money is low. There is a very good chance it will be closed in a little over a month. She really doesn’t want to lose her place to work, because it is one of the small things that still make her happy. Anna is a dreamer and she won’t ever settle. It is why she broke up with her now ex-boyfriend. Things with him were boring. They ate the same thing every week and always had sex in the same position. Even though, she never has been the rebel, her dream man is one of those bad boys with a golden heart she likes to read about. When she finds Ash Black under her desk, she thinks that dreams must come true.
Ash and Ana both have found what they were looking for. Ash found his ticket to image restoration and Ana found her bad boy to rebel. The way Ash pitched his proposal to Ana was rather harsh, but she is complete blindsided when it comes to Ash and accepts his proposition. She gets weak in the knees and can’t find her words when she is in the same breathing space as Ash. I get it. He is a famous rockstar and she has listened to his music since forever, but I wanted to see her grow some backbone. She let him walk all over her in the beginning. Volume One ends in a cliffhanger. You get to wonder what will happen to Ash and Ana when they are thrown into his world.
I think...
I liked the premise of the story and thought it was original. But, at times things went a little bit too fast for me, which took away from the credibility of the story. Look, I get instant attraction. I actually like reading about it. What I think is implausible was that Ana didn’t know what to say every time Ash was near her. It was also weird how he immediately touched her, like they were acquainted for months and the things he said to her irritated me. If a man would act this way towards me at our first and second meeting, I would just walk away. It would be a complete let-down. So maybe Ana’s reaction to the things Ash said and did was what rubbed me the wrong way.
I had a problem with connecting with both characters. I thought Ash was an idiot. The way he treated Ana just wasn’t okay for me. Another thing that was not my taste was the amount of sex scenes. I am not one to be daunted by dirty in a book, but for me it was just a little bit too much. I think it would have been better if some scenes were omitted or would be faded to black.
I absolutely loved how Volume One started. The story takes off with a panty-melting hot scene between Ash and Ana. I thought it was very bold of Callie Harper to start with that, but it was a success for me. It was an erotic scene which made me fawn myself a couple of times. It enticed me for what was to come as it is a scene that is set a month from when the actual story commenced. It was a teaser and it teased me all right. I also loved how I just flew through the book. Harper uses a special kind of writing, that almost resembles poetry at times, that just keeps you reading. Once you start, you get addicted and you just can’t stop.
The first volume of Undone is about finding love unexpectedly and reinventing yourself. If you are looking for a quick read, a light-hearted romance equipped with sweet moments, steamy scenes and rock music, than Undone Volume One is undoubtedly something for you.
His lips down on mine, so simple and easy, but it felt anything but. Melted chocolate, dipping and seducing, one taste simply wasn’t enough. Hand up to his shoulder, eyes closed, slow and insistent, licking, teasing at the edge.

What do you do when you're a huge rockstar who's become a social media pariah because you've publicly humiliated your media darling girlfriend? Well, if you're Ash Black of the mega popular group The Blacklist, your PR team does some huge damage control. And that damage control comes in the form of a beautiful Russian children's librarian.
After said break up from Mandy Monroe, Ash is in New York City trying to keep a low profile. But, hey your Ash Black and low profile just doesn't really work out. So when Ash finds himself running from an angry mob, he pops into the nearest place he can find. That place happens to be behind the desk of one Anika Ivanov, the sexiest librarian Ash has ever laid his eyes on.
From this meeting a plan is born. Ash's PR people are spinning their wheels and come up with a plan to get Ash back in America's good graces. Date said librarian, "fall in love" with the librarian, get engaged at a New Year's Eve concert and then have the librarian dump your sorry self a week later. Sounds like a plan right? To get Anika to agree to this plan, Ash has to promise to fund the library she works in for like the next twenty years. The library is on the short list to close and Ash's gift will insure that it stays open.
Why would Ash agree to that? He's totally gorgeous. Dark hair and eyes. An insanely toned body, covered with some nice ink. He could get any girl he wants to go along with this plan. Ana intrigues him. The two have a very physical attraction from the second they meet.
This very business like transaction involves lawyers, NDAs, Ana getting completely made over and a whirlwind of activities for Ash and Ana to be seen together "falling in love" for an entire month.
Their first PR engagement, Ash's family's annual Christmas party. Did I mention not only is he Ash Black of The Blacklist? He's also Asher Kavanaugh, son of Richard Kavanaugh, billionaire real estate mogul and investor. Needless to say while he was alive Ash was a complete disappointment to him. He was basically raised by his grandma and then shipped off to boarding school, which he got kicked out of.
I should also probably mention that part of Ash and Ana's contract stipulates there is to be no sexual contact. That stipulation goes out the window pretty quickly. In a steamy encounter in a secret hallway during the Christmas party, Ash lets Ana know just how attracted to her he is and it definitely got warm in the room as I was reading.
Ash and Ana are very sexual and sensual. He wakes up feelings in Ana that she would have never let out and Ash is amazing in the take charge capacity.
During their month together you can see Ash and Ana developing real feelings for each other. At different points in time they both have thoughts of the L word in their heads and it scares them.
Every part of the plan seems to be working our beautifully. Lola, Ash's PR guru is ecstatic at the way things are going. Ash's reputation is getting back to normal and soon the timid librarian will be just a memory.
It's the night of The Blacklist's New Year's Eve concert. A huge moment for our latest it couple, who are catching stronger and stronger feelings for each other. During the concert Ash proposes and Ana accepts. Then at the after party they kind of go their separate ways. Ash is being Ash and Ana is drinking shots because she knows this thing is almost over. Only the feelings she has for Ash aren't going anywhere.
By the time Ash finds Ana at the party, she's being carried off by Ash's best mate Conor because "somehow" Ana is passed out drunk. Ash who is also having feelings about not wanting this to end has a plan. He's going to "kidnap" his fiancée and take her to his out in the wilderness cabin where he knows they'll be snow in due to an impending blizzard.
Two more bits of information. Ash's friend Conor is a complete tool. And the experiences Ash gives Ana at his cabin are out of this world sensual. Like take me Ash I'm yours sensual. Let's just say Ash Black is extremely good at EVERYTHING he does.
Does Ash get the girl? Can Ana live the rockstar life style? Can these two make an actual go of a relationship?
Of course I'm leaving out a ton of stuff because you really should one click these three books and read them yourself. They're sexy, they're sweet, they're funny and they'll give you your next book boyfriend. Wait, I want Ash to myself!
A solid four lip smack review for Callie Harper's Undone. I am definitely looking forward to getting to know Ash's brother Heath in his upcoming book Untamed.

Date said librarian, "fall in love" with the librarian, get engaged at a New Year's Eve concert and then have the librarian dump your sorry self a week later. Sounds like a plan right? To get Anika to agree to this plan, Ash has to promise to fund the library she works in for like the next twenty years. The library is on the short list to close and Ash's gift will insure that it stays open.
Why would Ash agree to that? He's totally gorgeous. Dark hair and eyes. An insanely toned body, covered with some nice ink. He could get any girl he wants to go along with this plan. Ana intrigues him. The two have a very physical attraction from the second they meet.
This very business like transaction involves lawyers, NDAs, Ana getting completely made over and a whirlwind of activities for Ash and Ana to be seen together "falling in love" for an entire month.
Their first PR engagement, Ash's family's annual Christmas party. Did I mention not only is he Ash Black of The Blacklist? He's also Asher Kavanaugh, son of Richard Kavanaugh, billionaire real estate mogul and investor. Needless to say while he was alive Ash was a complete disappointment to him. He was basically raised by his grandma and then shipped off to boarding school, which he got kicked out of.
I should also probably mention that part of Ash and Ana's contract stipulates there is to be no sexual contact. That stipulation goes out the window pretty quickly. In a steamy encounter in a secret hallway during the Christmas party, Ash lets Ana know just how attracted to her he is and it definitely got warm in the room as I was reading.
Ash and Ana are very sexual and sensual. He wakes up feelings in Ana that she would have never let out and Ash is amazing in the take charge capacity.
During their month together you can see Ash and Ana developing real feelings for each other. At different points in time they both have thoughts of the L word in their heads and it scares them.
Every part of the plan seems to be working our beautifully. Lola, Ash's PR guru is ecstatic at the way things are going. Ash's reputation is getting back to normal and soon the timid librarian will be just a memory.
It's the night of The Blacklist's New Year's Eve concert. A huge moment for our latest it couple, who are catching stronger and stronger feelings for each other. During the concert Ash proposes and Ana accepts. Then at the after party they kind of go their separate ways. Ash is being Ash and Ana is drinking shots because she knows this thing is almost over. Only the feelings she has for Ash aren't going anywhere.
By the time Ash finds Ana at the party, she's being carried off by Ash's best mate Conor because "somehow" Ana is passed out drunk. Ash who is also having feelings about not wanting this to end has a plan. He's going to "kidnap" his fiancée and take her to his out in the wilderness cabin where he knows they'll be snow in due to an impending blizzard.
Two more bits of information. Ash's friend Conor is a complete tool. And the experiences Ash gives Ana at his cabin are out of this world sensual. Like take me Ash I'm yours sensual. Let's just say Ash Black is extremely good at EVERYTHING he does.
Does Ash get the girl? Can Ana live the rockstar life style? Can these two make an actual go of a relationship?
Of course I'm leaving out a ton of stuff because you really should one click these three books and read them yourself. They're sexy, they're sweet, they're funny and they'll give you your next book boyfriend. Wait, I want Ash to myself!
A solid four lip smack review for Callie Harper's Undone. I am definitely looking forward to getting to know Ash's brother Heath in his upcoming book Untamed.

Boy does Callie Harper know how to write a guy that instantly irritates me, yet the story around him is good so I keep reading. This time Ash Black gets the honor., although I absolutely love his name.
"I'd learned early that being rich and handsome opened up all kinds of doors and legs." ~ Ash
And that's the ego we are dealing with in Undone, a super-sized, super rock star ego. Ash Black is the lead singer of a huge rock band, so all eyes are on him, all of the time. Not a stranger to a candid You Tube video here and there, this last one made him look bad. Bad. Bad. And now his people want him to fix it. Change his image. Date a nice girl for a month and then let her dump him, seems to be the best plan Ash's manager and PR team have come up with. Now to find the nice girl.
Ana knows exactly who Ash Black is when he shows up at the library where she works to hide from a swarm of fans. She never thought she'd be kissing him and signing crazy contracts to help him with his image. Not in a million years. Ana knows she's lived a pretty sheltered, normal life and is kicking herself for internally saying yes to the next crazy thing that comes along. She wanted to live a little, but not instantly jumping into the Ash Black lifestyle.
"Sometimes I wondered what it would feel like to stop. Get off the crazy train. Be still and silent for even a moment." ~ Ash
While it's hard to feel sorry for the rich and famous at times, after hearing that they can't even go to the bathroom without paparazzi on them, you kind of do. Even though I found Ash an arrogant ass most of the book and proud of it, I did feel bad that the guy has never known what "normal" was. He's twenty-nine and has lived the last ten years in the spotlight. Ana has lived "normal" all of her life, however ultimately decides to spend time with Ash, contract or not.
Undone is well written from dual points of view. Ash made the crazy train comment, so I know there's a guy that can be happy being normal in there somewhere, and I'm going to keep reading to find him.

Undone: Volume 1 by Callie Harper
Hot flash heaven. Starting off with a great scene and introduces you to the characters straight off.
Ash is sex in leather pants. Rock and roll legend and in a lot of trouble. Apparently breaking up with a celebrity isn’t as easy when everyone has a camera phone, and she’s a very accomplished PR nightmare.
Ana is quiet, reserved, and a librarian/piano teacher. Want to rebuild your image? She’s a perfect match. Being used though? Will it break her? But the children’s library she works at may close without her doing this. So she takes a deal with the devilishly sexy rock star and saves her books.
Meeting Ana after trying to lose the paparazzi, Ash sees something he wants. A lot. How far will he go to get it? Letting his PR agent handle the details and getting all the perks. Now that is his kind of life! Ana is enjoying this time with Ash in a way she didn’t expect. Is she going to fall for him in all the ways she shouldn’t? Probably. Ash is delicious in all the most expected ways and so sweet in all the needed ones.
I’m on the edge of my seat to read the next installment. I can’t believe the twists, the turns, and major dynamics that take place and that’s the just first volume. It digs into you, keeps you interested, wanting to go to the next page. And the next and on and on. Ending?! NOOO! I want more! I can’t stop myself from wanting to yell at them both like they can hear me. I want Ash to succeed in his goal to regain his reputation but I also want Ana to make him fall madly in love with her and make it so he never leaves. I don’t know which way it will go though.

Ash Black is the definition of a bad boy rock star. When he is filmed breaking up with Hollywood’s sweetheart, the country is out for blood. And it’s Ash’s blood that they want. When his agent devises a plan, it sounds fool proof enough, but isn’t that when things normally don’t always work out?
Ana, the sweet innocent librarian is pulled into a world she is not used to. Her feelings though run deeper than she lets on. This is only an agreement. Ash is a famous rock star. Surely he can’t really want her? Or can he?
I enjoyed this first book and am intrigued to see where Callie takes it. Needless to say that Ash is hot as f*$k! Got to love the bad boy rock stars. I can’t wait to delve into book 2 and see what happens to our bad boy and sweet librarian.
