Loved all the twists and turns and Erica coming into her own along with Blake. Perfect ending to a series.

I read the Thoughtless series after I read 50 Shades of Grey and loved it! The love triangle had me intrigued from the very beginning. I found I could relate to the characters a bit more than 50 Shades and even found the character, Kellan Kyle a bit more sexy than Christian Grey. I highly recommend this series and cannot wait for book #3!

All your fantasies in one book! Definitely more realistic than 50 shades of grey and just better all on one!

This series is amazing! It is better than twilight, i got lost in the shade and caught myself thinking about it when i wasn't reading the book! So so good.

A very sexy story to get your imagination going and blood pumping!  I thought this was better than 50 shades of grey, an interesting inside view into the fetishes and fantasies of other people's lives.  Worth a read if you are not prudish and feel like a "hot" story!  Gets quite dark and heavy towards the end, not something I anticipated but after all why do we read if not to be entertained by new and unusual things sometimes..

I read this book in about 4 days. For me that's pretty fast because I am a stay at home mom with two young kids -- I don't get much time to read but when I did get the opportunity, this book was difficult to put down! It was well written and the characters were not only believable but like able. Travis was the gorgeous, bad boy underground fighter that is the everything that Abby said she'd stay away from. They make a bet, Abby loses and now has to live with Travis and his roommate (her best friends boyfriend) for one month. This is where their tumultuous relationship begins, filled with lots of ups, downs, fights, jealousy, etc etc
 I read the 50 Shades of Grey series and really enjoyed it but if I had to choose something I didn't like about them, it'd be that some of the scenes seemed to drag on and on. A single sex scene could last 3 or 4 pages. What I liked about this book (Beautiful Disaster) was that it was fast paced. At no point did I feel like it was dragging on. You could feel like a lot happened it just the 2 pages that you just read so it really grabs your attention and keeps you wanting more. I'd definitely say that if you were a fan of the 50 Shades series, you'll like this book

Excellent series! A cross between "Twilight" & "50 Shades of Gray". I missed a lot of sleep until I finished.

First of all, I cannot stress enough how much I loved each and every one of the books in the Driven series. I read the first two book back in September before I realized that the third book wasn't released yet. When I found out that I needed to wait until March for the finale, I thought I was going to cry. I preordered right away and two days before the release, I reread the first two books. I cannot put into words the effect these books has had on me. Yes, the sex scenes are smoking hot, but the books are so much more than that. I really FELT for the characters. Where I found Fifty Shades of Grey to be a bit whiny and with too many "I love you's", this series is so much better written, more complex, and you really delve into the characters and what makes them tick. I believe this series will appeal to any romance, erotic, or fiction fan. It'll tug at your heart strings, make you laugh, cry, tingle all over and lose sleep because you won't be able to stop thinking about the characters.
So, why the "loved it, but" title to my review? Well, I don't know what to do now. I'm an avid reader of all genres of books (not just erotic romance novels), but I feel so invested in these characters, I have no idea where to go next. It's rare that I read a book that leaves me reeling, but these definitely did. After books such as these, it's difficult to find a follow-up that lives up to my now high expectations.

Please read these books. The story is truly touching, suspenseful, funny, sad, and sexy all rolled into one. Thank you K.!

I have read the Mortal Instruments and all 3 of the Infernal Devices. This is better than the Mortal Instruments! I don't think I'm the intended demographic (30 year old mother!), but this series was just awesome. Fabulous book to get lost in!

Great series! I liked it just as much as 50 shades of Grey, maybe even a little more. LOVE the price too. Well worth it.

This is the best series I have ever read. I highly recommend. I have read the Fifty Shades trilogy, The Hunger Games trilogy, the entire Sookie Stackhouse series (aka TrueBlood) and this is my favorite! It's a very enticing read with a good amount of romance along with action/fighting/drama. It's got a mild amount of language, but it's all in context and not any more than 50 shades or Sookie Stackhouse has. The characters are all so captivating and you will fall in love with them! It is definitely preferable to buy the entire series at once, because they are that good! You won't want to have to wait and get the next one after you finish each one, trust me!!

After reading 50 Shades of Grey I wanted to read more books like it. And I know that most women feel the same way I do. This series took on one of my all time favorite Fairytale and transformed it into an erotic fantasy that I wished I lived an  breathed in. I finished these books in 3 days and now I'm on the hunt for more!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES!!

This book was my cure to the 50 Shades of Grey series and it was one of the most interesting reads! I can't wait for the sequel to come out tomorrow. I read this in about a day because I couldn't put it down! Great comparison from this modern day love story to the Divine Comedy, specifically Dante's Inferno. Great read!!!!

Holy sex on a stick!

I love The Woodlands, and Unraveled did not disappoint (much).

Gray can't decide whether to re-enlist or get out of the Marines and is spending 45 days with his pals Bo & Noah.  He's conflicted, wants to uphold family tradition but wonders if there's more to life than the military.  He's not the most trusting of men, an ex-girlfriend who stepped out on him ruined him for other relationships.

Enter Sam Anderson: young army widow who's just trying to survive.  Her husband's been dead for two years and Sam is starting to realise there is more to life than tending bar and knitting, but she's scared to put herself out there lest she get hurt again.

One night she meets Gray.  Let the sparks begin.

These two heated up the pages from the get go!  Jen Frederick admits this book is a lot steamier than her other novels and she ain't lying.  Gray is uber-sexy, and isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.  Sam is a bit more timid, but it's not long before she's giving as good as she gets and you can literally feel the chemistry.  For sex alone, this book is 5 stars!

While I love sexy time in my books, there's so much in this one that I don't think the characters had a lot of time to really bond and get to know each other.  It's only about a month they're together before Gray pulls the obligatory "Hero majorly screws up and loses the girl" move.  I actually would have preferred some more in-depth conversation between the two.

Also - unlike in Undeclared or Unspoken, the epilogue doesn't go into the future to let us know how Gray & Sam end up.  I LOVE epilogues that do that and I wish I knew what was in store for these two 10 or 20 years from now.

Solid performance from Ms. Frederick and she remains in my "auto 1-click" list of authors (by the way, if you don't subscribe to her Newsletter, do it!  She writes this great serial about Bo's daughter Charlotte and Noah's son Nate - it's awesome to see into the future for the characters).  I can hardly wait for the rest of these books - Mal (where was he in this novel, surprisingly absent), Adam, Finn, maybe Lana or even Hamilton?  I would read all of it!

Love this series. Grey is no different. His thoughts processes appear to be a bit soft compared to Kia actions in fifty shades. That was a bit confusing for me. Overall I love the books so I read it.
