Review
I’m a bit of a bargain hunter so when serials come out I’m a bit reluctant to buy them unless they’re packaged in one box set but let me tell you if it came to buying Unblocked each time over that bar of Cadbury’s chocolate Unblocked is going to win every time.
Set in the world of luxury reality and power hungry manipulators Unblocked was without a doubt a brilliant surprise. For the first part in a five part serial it was quite lengthy with magnificent attention to detail in a setting I honestly thought I would find dull and lackluster but Marni Mann manages to form a sexy dark and intriguing perspective on it all. The heroine of the tale has integrity, confidence and the work ethic and intelligence that is completely admirable in a lead character. Her wit sparkles and flares off the page especially when paired and sparring verbally with the man who will become her most affluent client, Derek Block.
Derek is sex personified, his inner monologue gives readers insight in to his debauched and scandalous thoughts concerning the opposite of sex, he may come off as conceited or arrogant but believe me it works in his favor.
‘Her panties rested against the top of my zipper, and her hands held the back of my neck as her ankles crossed behind me. She felt so different from anyone else who had been in my arms, unlike any other grains I had touched. She was erotic, rare. Exquisite. The elusive fucking pink ivory-that’s what she was.’
For the first book it’s utterly flawless, the in’s and out’s of the business, the hard fought battle to be top dog and the continuing effort to keep that spot even when certain adversary’s are more than willing to spread their legs to gain that position. Will Derek go for the easy simple way or will he find more than just a business opportunity in vivacious Frankie?
Unblocked is scorching, titillating (I still giggle at that word), sensual and jam packed full of secrets and scandal with captivating characterization and a fascinating plot. Seriously cannot wait for book two to come my way.
