Unwrapped is officially being placed on that very special keeper shelf of mine, and on the even smaller shelf of holiday themed books worth revisiting year-round!
Caitlyn "Cait" Sachs is twenty-five, successful, and a virgin simply because her life has been driven by the need to succeed and the fear of an unplanned pregnancy that seems to afflict her family. It's not that she doesn't want to have sex, she does. And now she's ready to finally give in to her fear and give herse More...

Caitlyn Sachs has decided that 24 is old enough to let go of her virginity. After holding onto it so not to be seen as easy as she perceives the rest of her family to be, it has now become more of a burden than a thing to treasure. However, there is only one of two people that she can fathom sleeping with and convincing them may be a problem. Matt and Tristan are her best friends, work-mates and flatmates; convincing one of them to become her lover may be a step too far. When she returns home on

Reading is a luxury I can barely afford these days, time wise. With my day job taking up the whole day and my new exercise regime taking up quite a patch of the time available for reading, I am too tired most nights to really concentrate on a book and see it through. But Unwrapped by Cari Quinn, which I opened up with quite a few reservations since I have never delved into a ménage themed book before kept me engrossed late into the night, my fascination for the characters, the storyline and of c

I must admit, menage stories really need to draw me in to be successful. Add in my first m/m/f romance and I was a little nervous on the read. Thanks to Mz. Quinn I think I'll even try a few others. She really captured the passion of a relationship that pushes preconceived boundaries and the aftermath of a relationship that will change your life forever.

Wow! Sit back and get ready for a lot of sex. Male on male sex. Male on female sex. Menage sex. Oral sex. Anal sex. Dom/sub sex. Videotaped sex. Sex on the table. Sex in the hot tub. Sex in the car. And even (*gasp*) sex in the bed. You might be asking yourself... with so much sex, is it possible there is actually a story to be found in there somewhere? The answer is... well, yeah, though it's a pretty simple one.

I felt this was menage with a realistic bent. A lot of menage stories don't address American society's prudish and judgmental ways. I think most people in America wouldn't understand a permanent threesome (and some would be insanely jealous, lol).
The story starts out with the virginal (really, just a technicality) Cait trying to figure out which one of her roommates will pop her cherry. She's kept her virginity because the rest of her family seem to have loose morals and she doesn't w More...

Memorable Scenes:
- Cait catching Tristan and Matt in the 'act' > awesome scene, what a way to introduce the m/m part of this story!
- Every. Single. Sex scene > no explanation needed, they were trademark Cari Quinn: hot doesn't even come close!
Caitlyn 'Cait' Sachs likes her ordered life in contrast to the chaos of her family's. She wants to do well in life, she’s ambitious, has a wild imagination sometimes, and underneath her good girl reputation she's wicked and More...

My Review:
This book was so good. I loved the premise of the story. This romance features three friends (yes, it's a friends to lovers trope...you all know that I LOVE those.) These friends live together in the loft above their design business that they all own and work at together.
The heroine in the story is twenty-five and a virgin. She's not inexperienced. She just hasn't done that final step involved with losing her virginity. She has a mother and two sisters that are pretty se More...

I love this book! The interaction between the characters, the realness of it dealing with developing relationships and everybody's baggage, the sex... Dear gawd, the sex! It was hot, like panties-on-fire hot. They didn't do anything I haven't read in other ménage books, but Ms. Quinn is very good with her words.
There were moments that were quite angsty, and the agonizing over everything began to wear on my nerves. I don't mind saying that I wanted to slap the taste out of Cait's m More...

This is the third book I've read by Cari Quinn and I am proud to say that I am addicted to her and her writing. She has amazing characters, sex scenes that are off the chart, and plots that keep you reading till the end and make you beg for more. All I can say about this one is break out the Christmas Tree and turn on the Chipmunks CD for this wonderful Christmas treat.

Caitlyn Sachs has a great life. A family she loves, check. An incredible design job working with her best friends, Tristan and Matt, check. An amazing home she shares with the guys, double check. But her upcoming twenty-fifth birthday and the desire to shed the burden of her virginity have spurred her to consider something shocking. All she wants is one uncomplicated night with one of her best friends, no strings attached. But how can she choose?Except there’s another problem. Tristan and M More...

I've enjoyed other books by Cari Quinn so the purchase of this title was a no brainier to me. I've also enjoyed lots of books from Loose ID. In the end though this book was ... okay.
It started out good, I was engaged and enjoying it and somewhere around the middle of the sex'o-thon weekend I lost interest. Too much sex maybe? Lots of sex that tried to take the place of an actual relationship. While the three in this menage had been friends for years I had a hard time accepting More...

3.5 STARS
I read for entertainment, but when reading a ménage story there’s always this little part of me that hopes the relationship is believable. I know in our society this unconventional type relationship would be looked down upon by most and then I wonder if there are couples out there actually living this lifestyle. I guess you could say I’m intrigued by how it would actually work. Not sexually because, hey, I’m all about that part. No, I’m more interested in the emotional side of More...

I liked the overall concept of this story. You have your 2 likable male leads and the spunky female that holds them all together. There is the extended family drama that adds to the turmoil and the ever present internal debate they each have of "can we all 3 be together" without turning all our worlds upside down. There are steamy sex scenes and raw emotion throughout. The can we/can't we drags on a little too long for my liking and I try really hard not to let it bother me everyti

Written by RedDragonfly for Booked Up
I must say after reading the blurb I was disappointed with how the book turned out. The storyline had potential that I think was wasted by Ms. Quinn.
Unwrapped started with Caitlyn thinking about losing her virginity in her mother's house with her whole family there, talk about turn-off! I was more interested in her family than I was in her which started to worry me but I wanted to give the storyline a chance. (full review)

I have to say that this is an awesome book!
Most menage stories kind of gloss over the effects of being in a committed relationship, they just live happily ever after...well they do here too. The whole logistics of how it effects not only the people involved but what will their families and community think too plays out in the story. The story is very realistic on the overall feel of the story and characters. I got emotionally involved with Cait, Tristan and Matt...they are not onl More...

What started as a 2.5 star rating for me after trying to write a review has ended up as 2 stars. I can't honestly say that I liked it and that it is the equivalent of a 3 star read according to GoodReads.
The heroine was the major problem of the entire story. She was annoying and extremely immature therefore causing a ripple effect of disliking the entire plot and characters. I also had a problem with excessive overused phrases and just feeling like the plot was thrown toget More...

Emotional portrayal of a woman struggling with coming to terms with an unconventional relationship. Anyone who likes their menages with a little reality thrown in should love Unwrapped!

A good romance. I liked how they wrestled with the "who will she end up with?!" question before figuring out the ending. But the beginning of this book, while exciting, was not as strong as the ending. Still, not bad.

Wow. this book was hot, like set my hair on fire hot. This definitely goes on my read again shelf. Cari outdid herself on this one!

Couldn't finish this one. I did not like the heroine at all.
I really enjoy some of Cari Quinn's books, and other times not so much.
