BIO: I like coffee. A lot. Writing gives me time to go get a cup without my kids. I like books as much as I like coffee, but it is easier to read with children hanging on you than drink coffee due to the threat of third degree burns. That's why coffee gets top billing in my intro: its unattainability.
I hold a Masters in English with a specialization in 18th century women's studies. While this is a highly marketable area of expertise, I stay home with my kids, which means my 3 year-old son uses correct grammar and doesn't burn down the house.
I have a ridiculously supportive husband who dreams of being included on a book jacket: "The author lives in Kansas with her husband, two children, and a Tuesday cat."

I can't wait to buy and read the remaining five novellas by the wonderfully awesome authors who composed this anthology!
I was, however, lucky enough to read the novella written by Tamara Mataya early and can I just say, ::SIGH:: LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
Love Eric
Love Eric
Love Eric
Eric is MINE
Seriously though, this had a great story arc and was humorous and heartwarming and epic! And even though I was really wishing for that big revenge scene, I was more than satisfied with the HOLY HOT ending. And did I say I love Eric?
Honestly, I could roll around in Tamara's wonderful words! And it was so funny that I literally laughed out loud multiple times.
Great story, and I can't wait to dive into the words of the other novellas included!

1. College romance, sweet and fast. Loved the guy.
2. Really beautiful love story. Just my cup of tee.
2. Would have liked it more without Valentine but others might be into this stuff. I'm not. Sorry.
4. The most confusing and annoying sf story I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
5. It was 3 a.m. by the time I was reading this one but I couldn't really get into it.
6. Sweet problematic family and relationship issues. Realistic. Loved Liam. I need my Scottish man in kilt, like, now.
7. Bonus story. The kind of bump-into-guy/girl-by-accident-and-confess-high-school-crush-after-ten-years kind of.
When you need a break from some heavy reading, a short and fast story like these are quite well taken ^^

This anthology is equal parts SEXY and FUN. There is a gambit of stories, ranging from a novella companion from Sophia Bleu's CHASING LIAM to Laurelin Paige's romp with a purity to queen to a tango lesson ending in a threesome and a Victorian time travel and a scorned would-be bride bent on revenge and a tribute to the 1990s and Rachel hair. Such an amazing compilation from a variety of excellent NA authors. Can't go wrong!

Unwrapped is an excellent way to sample works from fabulous author such as Melanie Harlow, Gennifer Albin, etc. I have read books from three of the six authors. And now I am curious to read books from the rest. All novellas are amazing!!! H-O-T!!! I have to admit some stood out from others though. My favorites are Three to Tango and Cherry Popper. Overall, I definitely recommend Unwrapped!

All of these novels were absolutely fantastic. I wanted more from each of them, because that's how much they sucked me in.
Some are spicier than others but all are hot!hot!hot!
The characters were surprisingly captivating for novellas.
These authors did a great job of telling in depth stories with a small amount of pages.

I really dislike that half these books are not available as standalone reads on Amazon. Took me a while to locate them all so if you're someone to want to plow through all in one sitting, good luck.
Cherry Popper by Laurelin Paige (3 stars): It's a quick read. The interactions between the characters seem real and had me giggling over it, however I kind of felt like there was information missing throughout the story. Time seemed to have movesd fast and you have to fill in the gaps, but overall not a terrible plot.
I Don't! by Tamara Mataya (2 stars): It's a very quick read but I wanted to see what was going to happen next. Ended on a happy note if that matters at all.
The Tango Lesson by Melanie Harlow (5 stars): This novella was fun. Short as novellas are, so a very quick and easy read. The original title "Three to Tango" kind of gave away the story line a bit, but I wasn't bothered by it. I loved the inner monologue of the main character...reading smut on her kindle...how realistic...considering i do the same. Hah.
Stranded at the Savoy by Sierra Simone (5 stars): Very interesting plot. Time traveling to the past, but treaying it as an every day occurence. I liked this one much more than i thought I would.
Try for Love by Patti McGee (3 stars): The era of this book threw me for a loop... Pagers and tamagotchis?! Appreciate the throw back to thw 90s, but not knowing that going in messed me up. Cute story nonetheless.
Unwrapping Liam by Gennifer Albin (2 stars):
If you haven't successfully found the books on your own...here's the link I found that has them all... They read in the order of the book itself too, which is nice. https://full-english-books.net/englis...

Try for Love by Kayti McGee
ANG:
This novella is in the Unwrapped Anthology. It is a short read but contains oh so much heart and soul. I’m seriously amazed that I feel like I know these characters when I was only with them for a short time. I adore them. The story takes place in the 1990s in DC. Our girl Mischa is a smart, sexy artist, and hair stylist. She moved to the city to pursue her dreams of art and creativity. She spends her workdays giving her clients the latest trendy ‘do and her spare time doing really cool artsy things like grave rubbings. I need to experience this! Our main man, Cliff, is a beautiful South African rugby player who just so happens to be an amazing artist and a carny. Yes. I said carny. Listen. Art doesn’t pay the bills right away, folks.
They spend a few glorious hours together after a chance meeting at the carnival … what happens when they run into each other a few weeks later? Some delicious angst and a whole lot of really hot and left hand worthy sex scenes. Everyone should get to experience a lover like Cliff and/or Mischa. I’m not picky. I’d take either one.
Along with the great chemistry and fiery sex scenes … this novella was wrapped up in 1990s nostalgia. I love this so much. There are seriously great references in the story. Here are just a few: Comedown by Bush, tamagotchis, flannel shirts, white baby doll t-shirts, Brad Pitt, the Rachel ‘do, Doc Martins, Courtney Love, and Kurt. Of course, Kurt.
Go buy this anthology so you can read this fantastic novella, remember the 90s, and get swept away in Mischa and Cliff’s beautiful story.

Was really excited to read this book with some great authors. I normally don't buy these multiple author/story books but Laurelin Paige & my recently discovered Melanie Harlow (Frenched) had stories in them. And unfortunately those were probably the 2 out of 6 best stories in it. I did enjoy all the stories, just not all were what I'm used to reading. Not a bad buy for only .99 though.

This was a wonderful book of sweet, sexy and happy endings from several short stories. Each story is different and each story is special. No stress reading, just smiles and enjoyment. Great characters with laugh out loud moments and hot, sexy encounters. Great purchase that I recommend completely.
