I really did enjoy meeting Dex and Alicia in Unrequited and was looking forward to more of their story in Uninhibited. This novel opens with an insight into Dex with his POV of their first explosive meeting. Then it picks back up two months later, with no contact between the pair but each are still front and centre of the others thoughts.Uninhibited delves deeper into Dex's backstory and how he came to give up performing and touring. All the emotion of his past was brought to the fore and it was easy to connect and understand why he had made the decision to step back from the spotlight. I thought the way that Alicia reacted to Dex's revelations was loving and heartwarming. She really stood in his corner and helped him see a way forward, encouraging him always to be who he is deep down, to live his dream and not deny his passion for music.Throughout Dex's own tortured story, Alicia has her own demons to battle and I thought her inner dialogue was drawn out in places which made me disconnect from her at times, her actions contradicting with the mature way she approached Dex and his memories of the past. There were some heartbreaking moments late in the book and I was so glad when Alicia realised she had to let go of the past and grab the present with both hands.Dex and Alicia were drawn to each other from the beginning and when they were together they could not deny the pull. I certainly felt the chemistry between the two and the passion was right there in the sexy scenes.The blurb says that it can be read as a standalone, so there was some repetition from the novella in the first part of the book. I would have preferred it to be summarised and then recommended that you need to read the novella first. I still would read the novella Unrequited, before reading Uninhibited.Overall I enjoyed Dex and Alicia's story and will be reading more by this author
