Review: UnRaveled by K. Bromberg


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

UnRaveled, stylized with the "R" capitalized alongside the first letter of the title, is a dark romance novella by K. Bromberg, and it was previously published as part of Bend, a multi-author anthology from the Erotica Consortium in May of 2014. I remember reading the anthology, although I don't have a review for it--and yes, I searched this blog, which I started back in June 2014, a month after the book had its limited release. All that being said, this was a quick read and had a story and characters worth revisiting. 

Lilian and Anderson Archer have been together for two decades, married for one and a half of those. There was a time when everything in their relationship was fun and spontaneous, romance and sex relished in equal measure. Now, they're parents to two boys, and life has gotten busier, with priorities shifting, and their marriage becomes the casualty. Maybe time together in Italy will help Lily and Anderson work on the ties that bind them, but it won't be her husband who'll unravel her--it will be her captor.

Confession time: when I first read this story over a decade ago, dark romance was part of my reading rotation. Fast forward over eleven years later, and I admittedly don't read dark romance as much as I used to. So, it took a bit for more for me to re-acclimate to this particular romance subgenre. But like I said earlier, UnRaveled was a worthwhile re-read, with K. Bromberg's writing pulling me in yet again. I may have known how it was going to end, but that didn't take away at all from this four-starred novella.

Re-release Date: 20 November 2025

Date Read: 20 November 2025

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

For a year, he's been working his way through what locals call the Meecham House, refurbishing it in hopes of making it feel like home. Then he notices the young man acros...

Make the Play (Nashville Rampage #1) by Kaylee Ryan Release Date: June 24, 2025 About Make the Play Corie Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable. But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both. The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them. Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives. Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play. Knox She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation. The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble. I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, ...
