Wow, this was a very good read! Nice surprise, considering the Reader Advisory made me quite wary (I'm not into reading f/f "interactions").
Simon and Emily (no last names, which I always find annoying because that makes me think of Cher, LOL) have been together for 3 years, but something is amiss in their relationship. They love each other, there's no doubt about that, but Emily's sexual hang-ups are a source of frustration - not only for Simon, but for Emily too. She wants to be wild and free in the bedroom, but her parents' strict education has made such an impression on her mind that she always freezes when Simon tries (or even suggests) something "bolder" than the missionary position. So, what's a girl to do? You'll have to read this story to find out. ;)
I really enjoyed this story - and I'm not talking about the love scenes exclusively. I loved Simon and Emily, their emotions were palpable and I really rooted for their HEA. Their indecision about the future of their relationship was realistic and their frustration was well depicted by Ms. Alexander. Emily's "cure" was too quick to be believable in the real world, but this is a short story that takes place in Romancelandia so I bought it. Plus, the ending was oh-so-good - Simon, I love you! - that it's impossible for me to give this story less than 4 stars.
Good plot + lovely H/h with great chemistry + excellent sexual tension + great HEA = Dina is very, very happy!
Note: The f/f interaction that happens in the story is more sensual than sexual. It's "only" talking and touching, but Emily does get a Big-O out of it. Yowza!

When Emily decides to give Simon something very special for Christmas, unwrapping gifts takes on a whole new meaning.
Emily has a problem. She freezes during sex. A lot. Simon, her boyfriend is about to lose his mind at her hot and cold reactions to him and Emily is scared she is going to lose him. After a talk with a sex therapist friend turns into something much more than she expected, Emily becomes determined to give Simon a holiday gift that he won’t ever forget.
Sex for Emily is a double edged sword. On one hand, she wants it. Badly. But when she gets in front of Simon, things go horribly wrong. It even made me a little frustrated, watching the back and forth between the two. Simon is completely at a loss on how to make Em see that when you love someone, desire should push past all the “prim and proper” upbringing issues that she got from her parents.
The story has a good flow and things get interesting when Emily goes to speak to her friend and things are heightened to a new level of awareness. One very sexy voyeurism scene got my interest in the book growing again as I wondered how Emily was going to turn the experience into something that would help her with her reactions to Simon. There were some very real psychological issues that can affect all relationships from time to time. How do you make someone want to have sex with you when they don’t want to? How do you go about wanting to have sex when the whole thing makes you feel dirty? It is a conundrum. Thankfully for all parties, Emily has a sexy holiday surprise under her Santa hat and Simon’s blue Christmas is just about to get a little more merry.
If you want a fun holiday read with some very naughty uses for a candy cane, then you need to check out Unwrapped.

Lacey Alexander is no newbie to erotic romance. So there is no question that the heat level for this short story is high. Alexander further turns up the heat with interesting uses for a festive favorite -- the candy cane. Brimming with sensual heat and spice, UNWRAPPED has everything a reader could want, both naughty and nice!

They've been in a relationship for three years, he was her first and she has a LOT of hang ups with sex. Neither of them getting any sort of help over three years, turned me off of the story but when she finally gets help her turnaround was great.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Me gustó porque además de las escenas eróticas, los protagonistas se amaban de verdad❤️
Me encantó Simón, un personaje paciente y complaciente. 4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a short, but fun and sexy read about an inhibited woman wanting to keep her man, and said man loves her greatly he's been patient with her.
I love the Christmas theme, and how Ms Alexander wrote something about the effect of drilling something to children and it sticks until adulthood. Emily burns for Simon and vice versa, but due to her strict and extremely conservative upbringing, she has a lot of sexual hangups. Simon embodies the perfect man, someone who loves Emily for herself, but of course he has needs that go quite unfulfilled. They've been together for three years, while they're fantastic outside of bed, they're totally drab on it, and it's pathetic.
I felt strongly for Emily because I understand where she came from. It's a psychological thing and at least she acknowledged her inadequacy when it comes to pleasing Simon. Running into an old college friend who happens to be a sex therapist, she got all the help she could get. Loved the slight F/F scene! Simon was blown away and it was still romantic after that.
Short this may be, it has the character development, the very hot sex in the end, added with anal play and dirty talk. Emily has come a long way (pun intended).

Unwrapping her fears
Emily is very much in love with Simon, but has an unhealthy fear & shame when it comes to sex. Simon loves Emily just as much, but can he live the rest of his life with her going cold, when it comes to sex? In walks Dawn, Emily's college friend & Sex Therapist. Can she make Emily realize that her frigid parents were wrong? Read along as Dawn teaches Emily to relax and enjoy the idea of unbridled sex with Simon! Will it be too late, or will "unwrapping" her inhibitions, bring them to where they both want to be? Happy in each other's arms! I really enjoyed this short story, I hope you do too!

This was a quick little read about a sexually repressed woman who has to re-train her brain in order to keep her lover.
Emily loves Simon, but she freezes when it comes to sex because her parents were strict and sex was a dirty thing growing up. It was never discussed in her home. Now Simon is quickly losing patience with Emily's lack of responsiveness in the bedroom even though he loves her.
Emily runs into an old college friend who just happens to be a sex therapist and her friend helps her overcome her hangups in order to give Simon a Christmas to remember and save their relationship.

Emily was an extremely annoying character who should have been dumped by her boyfriend.
I never really understood her problems and that scene with her friend... she couldn't have sex with her boyfriend but then it was ok to have a friend who you hadn't seen in years to fondle you?

i love it when the couple in the book is so in love and they will do whatever it takes to keep that love going. Emily is very shy in the bedroom but to her surprise she able to get the help she needs to make things happen for her and Simon.

Rating 3.5 stars
This was a cute book and a nice story. I found there were only a two of the scenes that I really got drawn into (office party and therapist session, with honorable mention going the the candy cane). Otherwise I found myself wanting to read something else.

Great, quick read. Unlike a lot of books of this genre, Unwrapped actually had a real story. I love how everything came together in the end.

Really good story about a subject that couples deal with. The only thing I could have done without would be the candy cane.

Not bad, but I expected more. Too linear and without nuisances.
