Review for Unraveled by K. BrombergFirst of all I’m going to start this review out by saying if you are a dark erotica reader and you like them twisty, dirty, and mind boggling… this book is NOT for you. It is more of an off-white or slightly gray on the darkness scale. I have to say I almost instantly purchase anything that describes itself as “dark” because lets face it, I’m a dark twisty soul, so I was highly disappointed in this one. Had the author not labeled it as “dark” I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more than I did. I don’t do disappointment well, and that will be reflected in this review. It’s completely unfortunate because I adore K. Bromberg and her previous works.Unraveled starts with Lilly moping about because her husband has left her on their anniversary trip to go back to work for an emergency. She’s disappointed because this was suppose to be their chance to reconnect. She’s upset because they’ve drifted apart and aren’t as sexual as they once were. Okay, let’s pause for a second. Who out there that’s been with the same person for years doesn’t have a slump? Great, I’m relating with this chic… she’s a bit more poor pitiful me than I like, but we all have those moments that we remember how hot things use to be.  Of course it was hot in the beginning… everything is NEW. You have to WORK to keep things smokin’.Back on track… she’s at a bar she’s all moping about getting drunk. She spots a hottie staring her down… she looks away. Bam she knows she should never have looked at him. (Exaggerated eye roll.) Any guess where this is heading?If you guessed that he is the big bad wolf in this story you would be correct. DUN DUN DUN.So he nabs her. She wakes up blindfolded and tied to a bed. She’s scared. He’s all dominant alpha man “me Tarzan, you Jane” he gives her a brief rundown of the rules… typical. So I think great now we are getting somewhere. Bring on the twisty! And then he lovingly and carefully helps her to experience all the things that she wanted to do with her husband.  (Scratches head.) I could have stopped reading right there because I already know the ending.Anyway, enter Marcus. He’s the pervert that’s been watching her “captor” do naughty things with her in the corner. Bring on the fear. Bring on the kink… meh, more like bring on the guilt because she is loving everything done to her. Poor Anderson, he’s the husband, the one that doesn’t live up to her expectations in the sack and who is a bit of a prude since he doesn’t enjoy her box-o-toys she bought without talking to him first.So to summarize. Disappointed in hubby, nabbed by sexy man from bar, pleasured beyond belief, guilt-ridden (sort of) about said pleasures, pervert Marcus, the end. Well, there is an end, but I don’t want to give it away in case you are going to take a chance on this one.Unravelled gets a generous two stars for storyline and 4 drenched panties for the sexy things that her “captor” and Marcus thrust upon Lilly. (Get it, thrust, haha.)  Overall, it gets three lackluster stars.Review by the Head Whore at Mommy’s a Book Whore.**Book purchased**
