When Harriet discovers her best friend in tears over a man who ghosted her, she decides to give him a taste of his own medicine. She's been burned way too many times to believe in love or happily ever after and knows exactly how the game works.
Men always want what they can't have.
The goal was simple. Make him fall in love with her then rip his heart out. But after one night, it's obvious walking away won't be as simple as she expected. Not that he knows that.
She has him right where she wants him, ruthlessly pursuing her–unable to get enough. But he's not the only one wanting something he can't have.
One thing's for certain... neither of them is ready for the casualties of the war.
Seeing her bestie broken-hearted, Harriet agrees to help teach the culprit a lesson. What she doesn’t expect is the overwhelming chemistry with Pacey.
I absolutely FLOVED Pacey and Harriet. The storyline was fun and forbidden with unexpected twists. Plus, the smexy times were smoking hot!! Did I mention Pacey’s filthy mouth? 🥵

Oh my gosh… i didn’t even know this book was out!! It was such a freaking quick, HOT read!!!!!
That’s what I love about this author, she writes some spicy books that you can finish the same day you start, and it’ll get you right out of a reading slump!! You know we all have them 😖
First, we had Unbroken, which was ex-boyfriends dad, and NOW…
We have…
Best friend’s ex!!!!
This was actually a first for me (of that trope) & I was not mad about it 👀 but y’all know I’m so down for the taboo heh.
Harriet’s bestie was just hurt by a guy she was dating, granted she always falls hard & fast (we’re talking love after like a few days lol), and she gets the idea for Harriet to get with him so she can hurt him back for her. Well what happens when this guy just happens to be exactly Harriet’s type… and who’s got quite the mouth on him 💦. guess you’ll have to read to find out ;)
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶.5

Unbound is a short and spicy story about photographer Harriet and player Pacey. Harriet's friend ask her to reel Pacey in to sleep with him and dump him...giving him a taste of his own medicine. Both share an exciting night together only to realize both may have wanted more. Misunderstandings and lies make their path anything but easy as they navigate the steaming hot attraction turned more. Paecy is a dirty talker and really steps out of his comfort zone of what he though he wanted. Meanwhile Harriet is juggling her feelings along with what her friend wanted. I enjoyed this quick read!
My only complaint ever about Sutton Snows books is that I need more!! I always fall in the love with the characters and then the story over.
Harriet’s friend gets dumped. So they plan revenge. Harriet will go on a date with Pacey then ghost him. But Pacey wants more. Pacey wants to know more about Harriet but every time he gets closer she pushes away more.
Sutton just sucks you in with her writing. The story is only about an hour long but she puts so much spice in so little time with a sprinkle of plot. I am loving this friend group and hope we get a novella with Asher soon!
I previously read Unbroken & was excited about this one. I didn’t pick it up right away. I actually kind of forgot about it until I went through books on my kindle app. Let me just say that this one blew me away. It was short but man it was spicy. We meet Pacey in Unbroken but this one was mainly about his relationship with Harriet, a local photographer. I was hoping for a little more by the end, but overall I was satisfied.
Unbound by Sutton Snow & Tinley Blake ✨ARC Book Review✨ Rating:4.5/5 Releasing: 10/21
After reading the first book is this interconnected series I knew that I had to read this one! And it did not disappoint. This book is definitely a must read!
The characters are amazing, and so well written. As for the story… I have no words for it, it was amazing.
I loved how the story started out with Harriet’s best friend crying over a man that ghosted her. And how she wanted her best friend to help teach him a lesson. So she agrees to help by having a one-night stand, but falls in love in the process…
Pacey is my favorite character in this story. I love how he start off never wanting a long term relationship with any woman. But then comes along Harriet who gets under his skin, but makes him want nothing more then to be given the chance.

arc generously proved by the talented author in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second book in this series, and I absolutely loved it. It hooked me right from page one, and I definitely didn’t want to put it down. I didn’t think I could love Anyone more than Weston and Lucy, but I think Pacey and Harriet might. These two.. they start off hot from the start. This was a super quick, really enjoyable read. While this book wasn’t long, it did not lack in the the 🌶🌶 There was soo much packed in here. I definitely recommend this book.
✨ ARC Review ✨ *** Thank you to Sutton Snow and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the ARC to review. *** Unbound was a really quick and spicy read. I loved Harriet and her personality. Pacey was sweet and controlling. His chemistry with Harriet was off the charts. This was an insta-love story with lots of spice. I enjoyed the storyline and the turn of events with Harriet and Pacey. I always enjoy a quick, spicy, read. *** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ***
Unbound is a quick, fast paced, steamy talethat can be read in one sitting. This is the 2nd book in the series and I'll definitely go back and read book 1.The characters Harriet and Pacey were fantastic together and had great chemistry. What was supposed to be a revenge date turned into so much more between these two. I loved seeing their relationship develop and enjoyed the banter between them and the steamy scenes were sizzling hott. This was a fun read and I'll definitely recommend it.
Harriet agrees to date (and sleep with) Pacey, a guy who her best friend had dated and been ditched by. He was a player and didn't want to settle down. Or so she thought.
A revenge date with Pacey turns into something neither one of them expected, and she begins to question everything she thought she knew - about him, and about herself.
This was a quick-paced read and was a lot of fun. Spice, romance, drama - it was all packed into this short story. Enjoyed this one!
Another great spicy short. Short on plot but high on smut. The tension and back and forth was anxiety inducing but the pay off was hot hot hot. Love how it incorporated characters from previous book but without you needing to read it to I understand this story. Also that scene in the lift 🥵 it has cured me of my fear of them
This book was just as crazy as the last one. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first one but it was still good.
I loved seeing Lucy and Weston again they are still cute together. Pacey finally got his happy ending, with a little help from Lucy. Also Pacey and Lucy’s relationship is adorable and I loved it 🫶
Pacey and Harriet are the perfect match for each up. The plot was unhinged sleeping with your best friends ex so you can break his heart… what could go wrong. There was a lot of spicy scenes, the elevator was a shock like damn leave a girl hanging why don’t you 😂
Kennady was a toxic mess and the plot twist that came with her I honestly didn’t see coming. I don’t know why she cared so much when she was dating someone else. She didn’t win in the end even after a tacky attempt to get her way.
I honestly thought this novella would be about Malcom and Elisa story like the scandal! How did their mum act when she found out?😂
Anyway if there’s another novella following the other characters I will happily read it.
Here is the story of Pacey Mcintyre glorified man-hore petual flirt and adversed to being in a committed relationship. He just doesnt do it. Enters Harriett to avenage her best friends broken heart. Kennedy was supposedly only in a week long relationship with Pacey and saw he on another date. Yet she knew he didnt do committed relationships. Which he was up front about. Anyhoots, can Harriett just f$$k him once and be done??? Will her well lad plans go up in flames? Will she be d down??? (Fyi i always wanted to say that in my review, hopeful i will not be flagged. Henced i didnt say the entirenword) anyways, not all is what it seems. Can these two get things cleared up? Well, can Harriett tell the truth to Pcey and hopefully not get mad at her for her scheme? Is Hare’s bestie telling the truth?
My jaw was on the floor at the end of the prologue… the prooooologueeee.
Harriet’s best friend fell for a guy who was just not that into her. Naturally that hurts so she asked Harriet to date him, sleep with him, and break his heart. (as you do).
When Harriet meets Pacey sparks fly. He takes charge and she is surprised at how she melts for him. Then she feels herself unable to stop thinking about him when it was suppose to be a one night thing.. and we love to see it!
I love a he falls first trope & Pacey is amazing. He is a Dominant, dirty talking sweetheart. (Kitten??! yes please). There were some scenes I just totally got lost in. The Elevator?! Pacey with Harriet’s camera?? god bless.
This was another fantastic read from the duo Sutton Snow! Definitely read check out Unbroken too! These are standalone but both are So HOT!
This was about Pacey and Harriet. Pacey is a player and doesn't do relationships. Harriet friend was heartbroken because he used her and mived on with another girl within days.. So Harriet was asked by her friend to get revenge by doing the same with him. Only thing is their chemistry is on another level and knocks both of them sideways. Can Harriet get that revenge? Will she survive it and will Pacey fall for it? But someone is lying.... Give it a read, you will love it. If smutty books is your kind of things then you won't be disappointed. I loved it. 💕
It was very nice to see Lucy and Weston in the book too.
When Harriet finds her best friend crying over a man who ghosted her, she decides to teach him a lesson. But walking away after on night turns out to be much harder than she expected. Pacey has never wanted a long-term relationship with any woman, but Harriet has gotten under his skin. He wants nothing more than to convince her to give him a chance, but she wants nothing to do with him. Compelling, and well written characters in a sizzling hot, deliciously carnal read that just might melt your kindle. Definitely a must read.
I voluntarily read a complimentary copy of this book.
Unbound was a quick and super spicy read!! Honestly, there’s probably more pages of spice than there is storyline but eh…that’s just what I needed in between heavy books.
Harriet’s friend Kennady is crazy…she’s stalker crazy. When the guy she is interested in, Pacey, blows her off she convinced Harriet to give him a taste of his own medicine. It’s a fast paced romance with spice all the way through. However Harriet is afraid that her friends words are right. Is Pacey a one and done guy?
I gave the book 4 stars for the spice. The plot could have been more but it was fine for a quick read.
This book is a very short and spicy read it’s definitely a great cleanser between long/ heavy books or the perfect quick read if you want something but are short on time. As others have also stated there is more 🔥🔥 then plot but it’s still a really good read. I would have loved more to the plot to really dig deep into these characters and their story but you didn’t need more plot to see that the best friend is a psycho and not the good kind 😜. Overall I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend!
Thank you to the authors for this E-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
Unbound is a short spicy novella about Harriet and Pacey! Harriet and her best friend Kennady, decide for Harriet to have a one night stand with Pacey to get revenge on Pacey for breaking Kennady’s heart. Pacey is supposedly known to be the guy that hits it and quits it. Little do we know, that they both are falling for each other, and the truth comes out.
What these two shared may have started out as revenge but it blossomed into so much more. Who knew that Harriet had it in her to be so wild. It was funny to watch Pacey be the one falling for Harriet. Pacey and Harriet's on again, off again, and finally on again for good relationship made for some intense chemistry. This book is one spicy, quick read! Not always a fan of the instaconnection but holy cow I could not fault Harriet and Pacey's connection. It was HOT.
I definitely loved this one more than book one. However just like the first book it is a super quick read also. There’s no much spice in this book but what I loved was that we still have plenty of story line. Also we still get to see a glimpse of where Lucy and Weston are in their relationship. Loved Pacey and Harriet’s story though and hope we get to see more from the guys friend group.
This story really goes to show that you may not really know your best friend and what their true intentions for you are. While on the flip side the stranger you're set to meet with could be the person you've been looking for his whole time but viewpoints can be easily poisoned of you chose not to look at what you've got in front of you. It's a really fun and fast read though and I really enjoyed the whole storyline.
Pacey my heart I need help the swoon is unreal 🥰 Pacey and Harriet both strong bad sass people who don’t do relationship end up being just want each other needed. I never have wanted to be stuck in an elevator so much in my life I loved these two and the spice 🥵🥵🥵 the banter I could not stop laughing and smirking at what these two said to each other. Must read so so good 💜
Another beautiful book. Loved how soft and sweet it turned towards the end. "Ethereal and beautiful. Her hair streams out around her like a golden crown, her skin flushed with fall's first kiss." This may be my second most favorite book. That line won't ever be erased from my memory. Thank you so much for writing this book!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Harriet’s friend is heartbroken after getting ghosted by playboy Pacey. Harriet is notoriously against relationships and catching feelings, so she agrees to a revenge plot to get Pacey to fall for her and teach him a lesson. She didn’t realize that Pacey would be the exception to the rule.
Wow, I’m really loving this series. Who doesn’t love a reformed bachelor that meets his match? Harriet was a ball buster and I loved it. They had great chemistry and the spice was spicing.
I also loved seeing Lucy and Wes from Book 1, and getting updates on their relationship. Overwhelming, I recommend this book. I am literally starting the next book right now.
Read this straight after unbroken, both books I did enjoy heavily. Whilst this one was shorter than the first it still did everything I’d hoped for.
The smut is juicy as fuck and the rest of the book I actually really enjoyed, a good smut book doesn’t need to be 600+ places. This is how I like em xo
