Unraveled

Find this review and more at kimberlyfaye reads . Unraveled tells us the story of Gray and Samantha. Gray is a Marine and Sam is an Army widow. Their paths collide while Gray is in town visiting his friends Bo and Noah (both smoking hot and from the earlier books in the series) while he’s on leave and trying to decide what he wants to do in the future. Sam is slowly healing after the loss of her young husband in Afghanistan. They both have a huge amount of baggage and neither are really ready for a relationship, but their attraction and chemistry can’t be denied for long. My heart ached for Sam in the beginning of this book. It’s not easy being a military wife and the pain of losing a spouse the way she did, after only two months of marriage, is something I would imagine is nearly impossible to ever get over. After two years, Sam hasn’t been ready to move on. Enter Gray. Honestly, I had a bit of a hard time connecting with Gray. Or maybe I should say liking him. He did come off as a bit of a macho ass alpha male, but as more about his past is revealed, I could begin to understand where he was coming from. One thing was for sure, from the moment of his first encounter with Sam, I half lusted after him. Holy hell. He is one sexy mo-fo. The way he talked to Sam? Damn. They were both passionate and well-matched. I think the speed at which their relationship developed was perfect. Neither of them was rushing anything, and after spending a lot of time together as friends, they gave in. Then they grew together. If you like your romances sweet and sexy, with strong, smart women and sexy, protective men, you have to check out Jen Frederick’s Woodlands series. From the first moment I picked up Undeclared, I fell in love with her characters and her writing. There’s more than just romance in these books. There are some seriously steamy scenes that leave me fanning myself, but there was also real emotion in each of the books that took me for a ride. Unraveled definitely put me through the most of them, though. Tears were cried. (I know, I know… it doesn’t take that much to make me cry, but still.) This is one of my favorite new adult series. I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
