Review
The first installment of Unblocked had me salivating and desperate for more which is sometimes the upside and downside to a serialised novel- the anticipation in between episodes. Episode Two picks up where the first left off with Frankie trying her damndest to resist the charismatic allure of her soon-to-be boss Derek and have their friendship remain strictly platonic if not professional.
‘“Because when I tie you up and lick every inch of your body, things like whether I’m wearing flannel or a ten thousand dollar suit aren’t going to matter. You won’t be aware of anything other than my tongue. I promise.” She leaned her head into the back cushion of the booth and closed her eyes. I felt the deep breath as she inhaled. “I need to be your realtor, and nothing, and nothing more. That’s the only way this is going to work.”
It’s so hard to keep serials interesting enough so that the reader is willing to pay for each one thereafter but Marni Mann has managed that feat with tremendous ease. Unblocked part two is sensual and fun with a gritty slightly sinister and mysterious edge. With Derek’s myriad of secrets and revenge plots in play on the peripheral of the story, as well as trying to tempt the intelligent and brilliant Frankie into his bed Unblocked has enough steam and drama and intrigue to put most full length novels to shame. The writing is flawless and the characters diverse and often quite funny even when battling sexual tension or catty colleagues. Be forewarned though, this episode ends on another semi cliffhanger but rather than irritate you it just leaves you needing the next part of the story
