My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew me away. I love a good contemporary romance but this talented author exceeded all my expectations. I was hooked on this story from the first chapter. I could not put it down until I knew what happened. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Layla had it all the perfect job, family, and a hot boyfriend. She was on cloud nine but then her life changed with one word. Layla was left with a new reality she has to come to terms with. She wanted one last night to be free and then she met him. Layla felt something for Kellan when they first locked eyes. He is the perfect man for her but the timing is off. She knows when he finds out the truth he will run just like everyone else did. Layla has other things to worry about but she can’t get Kellan out of her head. Will Layla be able to let Kellan in or will she keep him the dark?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, heartbreak, healing, and forgiveness. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. Layla is a very strong woman that has a lot of ups and downs. She has some walls up due to her past. Kellan is by far my favorite male character of the year. He has a heart of gold. The way he treats Layla will make you swoon. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. You better have Kleenex ready because there is a lot of ups and downs in this incredible story. This is a book that all romance readers should read. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant is a wonderfully written heartbreaking and heartwarming story all in one . I was instantly hooked from the very beginning and I had a really hard time putting it down. Not much adulting got done while I was entranced with this story . I will forewarn you grab a box of Kleenex because you will need it. This Author takes us on one hell of a emotional rollercoaster ride with this book. My heart broke for Layla,I definitely related to her and what she was about to go through. When you hear that word your heart just stops, your body feels like it’s shutting down but you have to have hope that everything will be alright. Keep pushing forward even if you feel like you can’t. Layla is a wonderfully written character that I found myself laughing at times and ugly crying at others. Kellan I love his character as well. Find out what happens when you think you have it all and one day ,one instance, one word can change it all. I simply can’t recommend this book enough. This is one of those stories that will stick with long after you are finished reading. I can’t wait to see what this Author brings us next.

Unraveled is an emotional, heart wrenching romance novel by Aubrey Bondurant. Before you sit down to read this book, ensure that you have plenty of tissues with you as you will definitely need them. This book had me sobbing like a baby. I have read other books by this author but Unraveled is my favourite that I have read so far.
You know you are having a really, really bad day when you discover you have breast cancer, your boss is a complete ass when you tell him you need time off, then you go home and find your boyfriend having sex with someone else. When the book you are reading starts this way then you know you are in for a damn good read and that’s what you get from Unraveled.
I just loved the way this book was written. The 2 main characters Layla and Kellan were fantastic. You just couldn’t help but totally fall in love with Kellan. He’s just so adorable. I was gripped to the story from the very first page and did not want to put it down (damn having to go to work!). I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant. This story was amazing! I was left in a pool of tears. Its the story of Layla who seems to have her life all together. She has a Hollywood boyfriend, well respected job and glamorous lifestyle until it all falls apart. She reflects on her life and decides she needs to make big changes. Enter Kellan who has returned to Seattle to get his Construction business off the ground. Kellan and Layla end up hooking up but its only meant to be a one night stand. When Kellan’s ex comes to town he talks Layla into acting like his girlfriend. Kellan is so romantic, kind, patient and loving. Why did he have to come in Layla’s life now of all times. Will Layla let down her guard and fall for Kellan, will Kellan be there for Layla regardless of her choice? This book is so emotional, you will cry, laugh and cry again. I loved every minute of it.

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant a four-star read that will unreal you. I was so close to giving this five-stars, but I loved it so hard, but I didn’t think it was as good as some of the other stories from this author I have read previously. This is deep and emotional and well written to the point that you will feel everything, that could have been too much had it not been such a talented author. Layla is sublime, she makes the story for me, Kellan brought a good part of the story, but Layla, she just made it for me. This one will need tissues, but you will be glad to have them and you will be glad when you finish this one.

Unraveled simply unraveled me. I knew what I was getting myself into when I started this book, but I was still not prepared for the emotions that poured through me. I was completely and utterly wrecked by this book. As with any book that deals with such a topic as this one, it can be difficult to read, but the beauty of this book lies in the beauty of the characters and their humanness. As I read this story, I felt that Kellan was just too good to be true but I know that if I ever faced this reality, my husband would definitely be more Kellan than Chad. There is a strength I found while reading this, one that reminds me just how strong we can be and I think that this story will do the same for anyone lucky enough to read it. I would just recommend not being in public and having a box of tissues when you do.

Unraveled
By Aubrey Bondurant
Rated 5 Stars!!!

SPEECHLESS…this story left me speechless with my HEART pounding! It’s so so GOOD!

This is not just a romantic story! It is so much more! I really feel as though I am going through this with Layla. (Love her name Btw) Her courage, awkwardness, insecurities and at times her loneliness all got to me. I can see why so many people are giving this all the stars! This is simply outstanding! I usually don’t go for book with too much realism. Because it’s a book and I want to escape. But this one just touched my heartstrings.

Kellan was simply wonderful! I want every man to be like him! Kind, thoughtful and sexy all rolled into one package. He does and says the most wonderful thing to and for Layla in this story. I love his never give up attitude!

The secondary characters deserve a mention. Her parents…well her mother drove me crazy..she almost seemed like a “real” mom. But Even crazy has its reasons. Let’s talk Russell! I almost love Russell as much as I do Kellan!! Best brother ever! Check! Best friend ever! Check! Full of humor and love for his family! Check! check! There is Nothing not to like about this man!

This isn’t my first book by this author but I think it’s her best that I have read by her. This is a little different from what she usually writes but like I said….better! This hits a lot of nails right on the head. Nothing is shy-ed away from. It’s perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend to women and men.
Very lovely and touching!

Well I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed as I already have read previous novels from this author but boy oh boy this novel was on a completely different level! It was a stunning love story but it really wasn’t just that it takes you on one hell of a emotional journey heartbreak, pain, fear, trust, and trying to have hope and faith. You will definitely need tissues and lots of them I’m not ashamed to admit that there was more then one occasion where I cried like a baby the tears were streaming down my face. There is a very sensitive topic in this novel but the author wrote about it in an amazing way true talent right there. I feel like after reading this novel it kind of opens your eyes to how cruel life can be but you just have to keep hold of that hope even if it’s just alittle and keep fighting! Wow just amazing!!!

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant is an incredible story of love and passion, uncertainty and expectations, fear and loss, hope and surprises. I have to say that it is definitely up there in my list of favourite reads this year. Aubrey has outdone
herself and OMG there was sobbing, heart wrenching tears at times and laughter out loud moments but my heart was full of love for these wonderful and amazing characters. I am reduced to tears once again just reliving the story to write this
review. It is an engrossing read that is full of the unexpected. There are loads of ups and downs and some unbelievable moments when you didn’t know what the outcome would be which had you on the edge of the seat and your heart breaking. The main characters were delightful and I think I have a new book boyfriend. The romance between the main characters if off the charts and you can help but fall in
love with them even in times when things are a little rocky.

Layla has had to make some hard decisions and is about to journey on an unknown route. What she doesn’t expect is to meet someone that just may change her whole life.

Kellan is busy building his business and doesn’t have time to date but when his best friends sister offers to help him with a crazy ex, things turn explosive and his life is forever changed in more than one way.

I absolutely can’t wait to see what Aubrey brings us next

A couple of things I contemplated as I began this review…

Did I love this book so much because I have a mad crush on the author? Sure
Did I love this book so much because I have more than a passing acquaintance with drains (remind me to tell you the story about why I no longer say “if there is ANYTHING you need, call me”)? Yup
Did I love this book so much because I had to put adulting on hold so that I could finish it? Indeed
Would I be rating this book differently if I didn’t know who wrote it and it was about something other than the specific thing it is about? Maybe, but the good news is that it IS by this author and the subject matter IS what it is.

From the very first chapter I was drawn into this story. I picked it solely because of the author’s name and didn’t know the subject matter until I read the author’s note and first few pages. Each and every character is fully developed and actualized. The details are laid out in such a conversational that you don’t realize you are being given necessary background and medical details that are needed to understand what is going on.

At times the pace slowed down a bit, I think it had to – Sometimes life slows down to a crawl – and sometimes it was moving so quickly it was like watching 30 second montage.

I don’t want to give anything away about this book, I will simply say – I absolutely recommend it and it is one of my top 10 reads of 2019.

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant is a story that shows the depth of true love and it was a truly beautiful story.

Layla and Kellan meet by chance when she saves him from an uncomfortable situation and the sparks between them are undeniable. What started as a one stand turned into so much more without either of them wanting it to due to the timing in their lives not being ideal.

The relationship between Layla and her Mom was so relatable for me on both sides. The Mother/Daughter relationship can be a tough one to navigate and I feel like Ms. Bondurant did a great job showing the ups and downs.

I have had the pleasure of reading almost everything written by Ms. Bondurant and this is my favorite so far. I look forward to seeing what she is releasing next.

To say that Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant was an emotional rollercoaster ride to read would simply be an understatement. The entire time I was wrapped up in Layla and Kellan’s story I found myself so immersed and overcome with the feelings leaping up off the page that I quickly lost track of time and devoured it in one sitting. I have never had the opportunity before Unraveled to read anything from Aubrey Bondurant but now that I have I must say I am a wee bit obsessed and have been adding everything she has available to my TBR list. I can’t wait to see what else we will get from her too. Kellan and Layla are not your typical love story, they have a devastating twist that will make you stop and question your own priorities and support system. I can’t and won’t sit and give you any more details than that because it would be a real travesty to ruin anything about this novel. You will just have to take my word for it and dive in! You won’t be sad that you did! Thanks for the lovely read Ms. Bondurant!

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant is a contemporary romance. This novel was beyond amazing and one of the best that I have read this year!! High emotions, up/down, and all over the place will occur within this story. There is a storm embarking that will shake the cast of characters to the core and how they move to overcome will determine the direction this story will take. Layla and Kellan hold a special place in my heart after reading this remarkable novel. Holy smokes, Aubrey Bondurant has created a powerful story full of heart, soul, and more. Nothing is held back and it was so beautifully done, even the moments when the story brings you to tears. Loved it!

Unraveled is a massively emotional drama written by uber talented author, Aubrey Bondurant. Packed full of tension and anxiety, this story broke me into little pieces. Then I was whole again. I cried so many tears i thought i would never be quite the same. It moved me beyond comprehension. I was unable to stop thinking about it, long after I reached the end. The characters, though complex and filled with their own insecurities, were simple in their needs. They wanted the same thing when all was said and done. The content of this story is one everyone can relate to. This is why it hit me even harder. I loved this story with everything in me. I was swept away and I definitely unraveled. So beautifully. 5 stars.

Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant is a highly emotional story that will not just tug at the heartstrings but complete tear it apart.
This author really knows how to write an amazing story and this one is no different. I knew right from the word go that this would be an emotional ride and made sure to get the tissues to hand. And they were definitely needed. This is one of those ugly cry, cathartic books that every needs to have in their arsenal. At one point I could barely read through the tears.
These characters were just amazing as well. They worked for the story the author was trying to tell.
This is yet another 5* read from this author and one I cannot recommend enough.

The story Unraveled by Aubrey Bondurant is an amazing book. It had me hooked from the first chapter and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the final page. It is an emotional journey that touched and warmed my heart. I couldn’t help but feel the connection between the two main characters. There are sparks and chemistry between them. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. The main female character in this story is a woman who is determined to be independent and strong. The man she meets is stubborn and caring. I grew to care about them both and wanted them to find happiness. There is bantering that goes back and forth between them. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters that are introduced. This is a book that stayed with me and that I thought about even after I had finished it. I highly recommend reading it.

I have read almost every book that this author has written so I was really excited to find out she had a new standalone coming out and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and as I expected it didn’t disappoint at all!
Unraveled had everything I love in a book in it – romance, humour, emotion and more! I was hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t put it down until I had read that very last word. Ms Bondurant has such an easy going writing style that it is so easy to fall into her books, her characters are easy to fall in love with and I absolutely fell in love with Layla and Kellan. Their story was such an emotional one and I truly took them both into my heart.
I really don’t want to give away too much of the story in this review so all I can really say is you should absolutely one click this book today – I don’t think you will be disappointed at all. Ms Bondurant has weaved a beautiful tale with two equally as beautiful characters!
As always I am looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

I loved this book! This is a well written, creative story that I couldn’t put down until the last page. The characters, Layla and Kellan are connectable and really pop of the pages. They made the story come alive on top of the emotional ride it takes you on. Layla thought she had it all under one day one word was said, now she finds herself going back home. Who knew that a one night stand could grow into something more. This is has some emotional times as well as humorous, it is a must read.

Whew!! I am exhausted..this book..Oh my word…You know how there’s times when you feel like you need a good cry? Well pick this book up and you’ll get the good, the bad and the ugly cries all out of the way in one fell swoop.

I’m not sure where to start with this review so I may jump around a bit…This one hit every feel, and it wasn’t an easy ready and I knew it would not be from page 1, this subject has touched my life and I would normally back away and not read this book but then in comes this author who I already love and admire and just draws me in and took such care in how she handled the writing in this entire story, it was beautiful and it might sound weird but I felt protected while reading and that is just one reason this author is so amazing.

I found myself staring at nothing at times while reading catching myself asking those hard questions that a person never even wants to think about and then would jump back in and literally could not put this book down till I finished. On the other side of the coin I found myself smiling a lot and even laughed out loud a few times and found another favorite book boyfriend…SIGH… Everyone needs a Kellan, I fell head over heels quickly.

This book took my breath away and filled me with so much hope and although the road was a bit rough and frustration took over a few times I can not imagine not reading this story and so glad I have it to read again. You must read this book…It was absolutely amazing!!

Well done Miss Bondurant and Thank you!

Unraveled:
To become undone.
To take apart.
To destroy.

I thought I had it all with my well-respected job, Hollywood boyfriend, and glamorous lifestyle. Until the truth revealed a different story. In one day, after a single word, my carefully constructed life was obliterated.

But it’s only the beginning of my spiral. There’s much further to fall.

Then I meet him. He’s the perfect man at the most imperfect time. It’s only meant to be a one night stand. A last fling before my new reality sets in. But he has different ideas. Because he doesn’t know the truth. Once he finds out, I’m convinced he’ll realize this is too much for a new relationship. He’s sure to cut and run. It’s for the best really.

After all, how can I possibly fall in love when I’m falling apart?

Tell Me Something
The last years have been tough on Haylee her dad died a few years ago and she lost her mom in the last year. Her parents’ deaths, so close together triggered some dark places for Haylee, but she’s ambitious and is determined to follow her dreams so she is planning on law school in the fall.
Josh Singer, the sexy eligible owner of Gamble Advertising is private, intense, and hard to read. With his sexy voice, his smoldering eyes and when he learns of Haylee’s goal to save money for law school, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse: To move to New York City and work for him directly as his assistant.
I wanted to do some bodily harm to a character or two in this story. The storyline kept me wanting to know more about Haylee and Josh and the strong secondary characters that have me looking forward to future stories in this series.
Ask me something
Sasha Brooks has worked with Brian Carpenter in the advertising industry for several years and their not just coworker their best friends. She has been focused on one thing her entire life: her career. She is newly promoted as the vice president in a New York advertising company, she has beauty, brains, and one hell of a fierce reputation she is so put together on the outside that you wouldn’t know she is fighting her own demons.
Brian Carpenter has an easygoing personality and Southern charm and is the yang to Sasha’s yin and the calm to her storm. He is finding it hard manage his newest VP isn’t without its challenges, but when it comes to Sasha, he’d expect nothing less.
Bet Me Something
Kenzie Lane, 22, and just recently graduated from college and is looking forward to her dream internship this summer. But her mother has other plans for her.
She has had a long time crush on Colby Singer, 31,the next door neighbor boy with his panty dropping grin and baby face, the younger brother of her older brother’s friend and he has a reputation as a player.

Colby is a cute successful business man, and has put Kenzie in the friend zone he is a lot of fun, and pretty laid back till Kenzie gets under his skin. With this in mind he is still determined to distract her temporarily from the stress of her mother’s ultimatum, deciding to show her some fun, he quickly finds that keeping her in the friend zone is not as easy as he’d hoped.
Kenzie realizes this is her last chance to gauge her long-time crush’s true feelings; she puts it all out there in the form of a bet. It’s the perfect idea for her perfect betting man.
Ms. Bondurant is an exceptional writer and this is an upbeat series about figuring out life and love while finding yourself or the person you want to be.
I highly recommend this series…

The Something Series – Box Set Books 1-3 by Aubrey Bondurant.

Tell Me Something- Book One
Haylee is living and working in LA as an assistant at an advertising agency with the dreams of starting law school. While on a photo shoot, the model is late and then when she does show up, she acts like she is too good to be there. What else is there to do but have Haylee take her place. That is when Josh sees her, he is the owner of the agency, the only difference is that he is based in New York. The attraction between the two of them is instantaneous. When Josh asks Haylee to leave her current job and move to New York to be his assistant, she is shocked. She has nothing holding her to LA, her parents are both deceased, so what does she have to lose? When she approaches Josh and shows interest in him, he takes a step back and has it explained to her that he has very different ideas and expectations when it comes to relationships and sex. With her now living in New York and working as his assistant, they both agree to keep their relationship under wraps, not wanting people talking behind their backs. Josh was left with a sour taste in relationships, his ex wife ruined him by cheating and lying.
With the amount of time that Josh and Haylee spend together working, traveling and being romantically involved, of course feelings and love are bound to come into place. But they gave themselves an expiration date, when Haylee leaves for law school.
Will they be able to keep their relationship a secret or will their love prevail?

Ask Me Something- Book Two
Sasha Brooks is a confident, gorgeous woman, who happens to be VP of Gamble Enterprises in New York. She is also known secretly around the office as Sasha-B-Fierce. She has been attracted to Brian for a very long time. So when the opportunity arises for them to become involved in a friends with benefits type of arrangement, she listens to the “rules” that he has, and pretty much jumps at the chance.
Brian Carpenter is a hot and sexy man who happens to be Sasha’s boss. He has secretly wanted her for 8 years. When the chance finally comes for them to be together, NOTHING is going to stop him from making it happen.
Brian and Sasha together is perfection in my eyes. You can see the love that they have for each other, even tho they think they are keeping it a secret. The sex is steamy and sets everything on fire around them. They have rules in place to keep them from getting too comfortable with each other. They both agreed that love is not in the cards for either one of them. So to have sex and strictly sex, it is a win win for them both.
Is it possible for them to truly keep it only sex or will feelings and emotions get in the way? Or have the feelings been there from the very beginning??? I promise you will not be disappointed with their book.

Bet Me Something- Book Three

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Something Series by Audrey Bondurant is a great set of stories that will pull you in from page one and keep you enthralled throughout each book. Each book focuses on two characters, and how the attraction and chemistry builds and grows throughout the pages. The feelings between each couple are undeniable and I found myself falling for each of them while reading. The characters all were created equally and deeply connected throughout each book, so I highly recommend reading all the books in order from this fantastic series. If you are looking for a great series by an author that will keep you enthralled from book to book than this is a series you need to add to your TBR pile. I can’t wait for Bondurant to bring even more books to her devoted readers.

The Something Series (Box Set Books 1-3) by Aubrey Bondurant – Review by Tracy Wilkin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Something Series – Box Set Books 1-3 by Aubrey Bondurant is a fantastic series. This series introduced me to Aubrey Bondurant, and I am so grateful I found these books.

Tell Me Something was an exciting and fast paced romance full of action, romance, emotion and intensity. This romance with a difference packs an effective punch and has me craving more. Josh and Haylee shared a connection which provided many moments of blazing fireworks, blinding passion, heated arguing, everlasting love.

Aubrey Bondurant delivered a classic, yet original tale of two troubled souls meeting and finding their way to a happily ever after while kicking and fighting the attraction for each other, every step of the way. This author wrote a beautifully broken love story that leaves a lasting impression.

Ask Me Something is the story of Sasha and Brian, who provided unending entertainment and all those highly anticipated emotional feels. Brian feels an intense attraction to Sasha, but he is more forthcoming in what he wants, to a degree. He is an easygoing character that is likeable and charismatic. He was easy to relate to, as he was not as complex as Sasha. Sasha was much more guarded but still lovable, whereas Brian had that casual happy go lucky personality that was easy to become immersed in. It was a real thrill to uncover all that was Sasha and Brian.

Again, Aubrey Bondurant delivered a gutsy, drama driven story that captured my complete attention, and was thoroughly entertaining, dramatic and electrifying. A highly sensual tale that I finished way too quickly. This book is one to savour, not rush through. A true pleasure to read.

Bet Me Something is Mark and Juliette’s story, and it was one I craved the most. Mark was shrouded in mystery and had the more tortured past. Mark and Juliette both had scars from the past that held them back, which made reading their story much more appealing. Their journey was a rocky and rough, but what great love story didn’t have a few dents and scars from the ups and downs. Those trials just make for a more beautiful ending and made Mark and Juliette work that little bit harder to find their way to one another. Their love was hard fought and well deserved.

Show Me Something was a brilliant finale to a stunning series. I reached the end with a feeling of contentment and a full heart. While I was sad to reach the end so soon, I take away with me an incredible experience and a new one click author. Aubrey Bondurant gives readers unforgettable stories that will captivate and steal your heart, while leaving a special memory to cherish always.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I originally read this series as individual books in 2017. It was so cool re-reading them as a boxed set. Like revisiting old friends who you haven’t seen since the Christmas Party last year 🙂

I love this series, it gives me the same feelings that I got when I read Jessie Evan’s “Always a Bridesmaid” series or Melody Anne’s “Billionaire Bachelor Series” starring “The Andersons” – that feeling that I want to – no need to – devour all the books and never want the series to end. Each book is better than the last and we get to see what the previous characters are up to now.

Each book has all the components of a “classic” romance. There are friendships, family, sexy times, angst, misunderstandings and ROMANCE.

I have a total girl crush on the author and she has become a one-click author to me – no questions asked.

I absolutely recommend this series and it is in my top 5 romance series of all times.

The Something Series - Box Set Books 1-3: (Tell Me Something, Ask Me Something & Bet Me Something)The Something Series – Box Set Books 1-3: by Aubrey Bondurant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Something Series Box Set contains the first three books in the Something Series by Aubrey Bondurant. I absolutely love this series since I read the first book two years ago and i can’t recommend these books highly enough. This box set is a great way to get into Ms. Bondurant’s work- and it is like a present – you get three books in one go! The Box Set contains: Tell Me Something (1), Ask Me Something (2) and Bet Me Something (3).
Book one gives us Haylee and Josh – the story sucks you in from the first chapter, it keeps you on your toes and it is hard to put the book down as you want to know how do those 2 hard headed aka independent and strong willed people figure out a working relationship.
The author was able to find a great balance between cute and light-hearted and ‘sturm und drang’ making it an enjoyable read.
Book two gives us Sasha and Brian – Ms Bondurant’s writing was even better, the characters were more complex, there were no embellishments, you were getting hit with emotions right and left…I cannot tell you how much I cried while I was reading this book… Don’t worry, it is not a bad thing, I think it gives credit to the writer’s ability to write so well that I could relate to what was going on to the extent it made me cry. I did laugh out loud as well, no doubt there!
Ms Bondurant does not shy away from the topics that many of us struggle with – control over being vulnerable, anxiety, panic attacks, being alone or trusting, keeping appearances or letting people in… I felt like I was living the life Sasha was living, feeling the pain, confusion, triumphs, love, sex…
Book three gives us Kenzie and Colby – Kenzie has been in love with Colby since she was six years old, but will he ever not see her as her brother’s best friend’s sister. Ms Bondurant shows us how Kenzie is growing into herself and finding out what it is that she is supposed to be doing with her life, standing up for herself, her love…and Colby, a man child, vulnerable and playboy, needing to grow up and stop hiding and take a stand… Ms Bondurant does not write about being perfect and having everything come easy, she writes about that we need to work for what we want and what we deserve!
I guarantee that once you finish the third book you will continue to the rest of the series!

Tell Me Something is book 1 in the something series by Aubrey Bondurant. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was really impressed! I have been waiting a long time to find a book that had me completely hooked in this genre like this one did/ I think it’s safe to say I have found myself a new go to author and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series. This story covers some really sensitive issues and I thought that the author did an amazing job with the way in which she wrote about them. Due to the content of this book it is definitely for mature readers only! I loved the relationship between Haylee and Josh – they were definitely good for each other. The chemistry between them was off the charts and the sex scenes were HOT!! I suppose it did have a 50 shades feel about it but so do many of the books in this type of genre and it’s definitely not an issue for me as a reader. I thought the sex scenes were particularly well written! To be honest, there were times when the sex scenes were almost as raunchy as the kind of thing you might find on a website like watchmygirlfriend.porn!
I liked Haylee’s character, for someone who has suffered such loss in her life she was strong in ways she didn’t know – it takes something to completely start again and have a fresh start. During the Christmas scenes I just wanted to give her a big hug, I can’t even imagine how you get through that by yourself!
Josh was a tricky character for me; on one hand I LOVED him! I loved that he didn’t fit the typical alpha male, dominant character, he had his own insecurities and issues that he had to work through but I also got frustrated with him at times when it came to him admitting how he really felt about Haylee.

Ask Me Something is Sasha and Brian’s story. This is the second book in this series and I am as in love with this book as I was the first one. I love Sasha – she comes across as really independent but there’s still that small vulnerability especially when it comes to Brian. Over the 8 years she’s kept her feelings under wraps convincing herself that there’s nothing there just friendship and an easy flirty relationship! I love that she stands her own ground when it comes to her job to prove that woman can be just as powerful as men in the boardroom!
Brian, oh Brian! He was so dreamy!! Although I did want to him to just man up and tell Sasha how he felt! He definitely fulfilled the alpha male/dominant role for me and more! I would have happily taken Sasha’s place on more than one occasion!!
I liked that this was told from Sasha’s POV although I think I would have liked to have seen some parts from Brian’s POV even if we do get to hear from him in the epilogue. Again this story had some underlying issues that were explored and again they were really well written about. I think this is one thing I am coming to love about this author, amongst all the hot sex scenes are storylines that have a deeper meaning and they are beautifully written about.

Bet Me Something is book 3 in the fabulous Something series . This is the third book that I have read by this author and I can’t even describe how in love with this series I am and the characters that are in it! I love that the characters from the previous books are still in this one and you can still get glimpses into their lives and how they are progressing but it doesn’t take anything away from the story that you are reading – they are cleverly intertwined! I really like this authors writing style – her books are easy to read and have kept my interest from the beginning until the end.
Bet Me Something is Makenzie and Colby’s story. The chemistry between these two was immense! Poor Kenzie she has liked Colby for so long and I loved that she took her chance when she had it! I really liked her character, I thought out of all the characters in the story she grew the most and by the end of the story she had become a lot stronger and stood up for herself.
Like in the other stories it took me a while to warm to the male character in this instance Colby, he was another great alpha male but he frustrated more than the others – although by the end I loved him! The struggle for him was different because he felt like he was betraying his best friend, Brian, by being attracted and wanting his younger sister.

A fabulous box set that I highly recommend!
