A great read
I thought this should be the second book in the series as I got a bit confused with the history of the storyline, But it didnt take that away from the story. Another great read.
Cydale, a blacksmith’s son and Aiden who is the young lord and we learn about how Cydale met Kei.
Aiden is in love with Cydale but his father doesn't like it and does everything in his power to keep them apart. On one occasion he has him arrested for assault on the young lord and he is brought to the castle this is where he meets Kei.
This is a good story full of passion and an overbearing father who will do nothing to keep his son apart Cydale. I am really enjoying this series and cant wait to read the next book.

A couple of points to note about this story:
1. It is really short (like read in ~30 minutes short)
2. There are abuse/slavery elements in this story

I think this is supposed to be backstory for some of the characters from Pillaged. You could read this one without reading Pillaged.

If anything this story made me hate Aiden even more than I did in the previous book. I did start to understand why Kei was so devoted to Cydale (though I really have to wonder why Cydale still follows Aiden). I could see a connection between Cydale and Kei. The drama with Aiden's father I didn't entirely understand, he was truly twisted.

After reading this book I had to take a little time to compose myself and get my thoughts clear in my head before I put them in a review.
Wow this book was amazingly written. Once I started I couldn’t put it down till I was finished. This book has twists and turns you don’t know what’s happening. will they all get there happily ever after or will it all go wrong. To find out what happens go buy the book. You won’t be disappointed I wasn’t.

This is book three in the Love Unleashed series. This is Cydale and Aiden's story. Cydake is a commoner, a blacksmith's son that is constantly picked on by Aiden. Aiden is a lord, which takes him out of Cydale's social status. It's like the old saying goes, if he pulls your hair, it's because he likes you. This is a dangerous path as the penalty is death. This story is different but equally as good as the previous two in the series. I could bit put it down and read it all at once. Great read, enjoy!

This is another in the Love Unleashed series and like its predecessors it’s a bit harsh yet still very readable. In this one we get to see a bit of the backstory of Aiden, Cydale and Kei. Easy to love Kei with his meekness and his sweetness. Easy, as well, to see the villains meet their end while the heroes make their escape. An interesting series, for sure.

I've read several books written by Kayci Morgan; she has done an excellent job at writing a good short story; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the characters.

So who or what was ravaged in this book? While I liked the last story, I didn't think that I needed any kind of backstory with Aiden and Cydale and Kei. Rhys was pretty awful, and his advice seemed to be 100% rubbish. It was definitely irony that everything he did was to mold/force Aiden to take on the responsibility of governing their territory, only to have Aiden repeatedly, and ultimately spit all of that effort in his face in rejection.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This was a great story. It was well written and fast paced. The chemistry between the characters was sizzling hot. This book has everything you need to keep you turning pages hot sexy men, steamy scenes and some conflict thrown in. I cannot wait for what this author writes next.

This is a short,fast paced steamy read with strong characters with a sizzling hot chemistry. It's well written with the author leaving nothing to the imagination. She brings a bit of drama and a lot of heat. I enjoyed reading.

This is the 3rd book in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. Cydale is a blacksmith’s son and spends years being torment by a young lord until the day Aiden declares his love. His father will never allow it. Will death be his only way to be free? Fast-paced read with steamy chemistry and an entertaining story. A good read.

[Courtney Turner · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book wasn’t like the others for sure. There was a bit of a love triangle. Slaves in love but also a Lord that was in love with his slave. I really enjoyed reading this book. I think the only thing I would have changed is the ending. I wanted more. I felt like it ended to abruptly.

Ravaged brings us the tale of how Cydale and Kei came to be. The story starts off with Aiden and Cydales friendship bringing chaos to Cydale. Through thr test of the tale, Aiden's feelings bring dire consequences to those around him. Best of the 3 for sure. Perhaps should have been book once.

Cydale Is the blacksmith son who is being claimed by his tormentor Aiden. Will they be allowed to claim each or will Aidens father kill Cydale. These characters are engaging and the storyline flows smoothly. This is book 2 of the series.

I enjoy the series. It is well written, witty with master - slave twist in well developed cruel reality. The world building is really good. I had some issues with following.the plot. Who loves who? But, the end of the story I liked a lot. Still sexy to read.

Love Unleashed Series...

by and1515

This is the third book in Kayci Morgan's Love Unleashed series and wow its absolutely captavating and downright coarse and maybe a little on the vulgar side and one thousand percent sensational.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ten stars!!! Fast crazy good read. Chemistry between the characters was smoking hot. Couldn't put it down. Steamy, hot as hell men, and tons of drama. Cant wait for the next book.

Book three in the Love Unleashed series a well written short story that kept me turning pages. This is Cydale, Aiden, and Kei's story. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Mari (Mystics & Metaphysics Book Blog) · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story is short but packs so much in this one where Cydale needs to figure out if he can trust Aiden. Aiden's father tries to keep them apart but that only lasts so long when love is involved.

I did not like the way this story just cut at the end. This book explains the relationship between Aiden, Cydale and Kei. And with Rhys dead, Aiden should ascend to power. This is open ended.

Aiden falls for his playmate but his father won't allow that and said playmate doesn't seem to exchange the love.

[Nessa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book out of series order, but each of them are a standalone so I didn't feel lost. I do love that this is some of the history between Aiden and Cydale from Pillaged. I loved the ending of this story, but I hated Aiden's father. Aiden also didn't earn any favors from me, but I understand why he treated Cydale the way he did. It was an interesting journey that Aiden and Cydale were on.

Please note that I did receive an ARC of this story, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
