This review is for Lisa Marie Perry's Unraveled
First of all I love, love, love this cover! So gorge!
I was generously gifted this book by Ms. Perry and I couldn't wait to read her heroine because I love Lisa's way with dialogue! She always writes characters in ways that shows their personality through dialogue and description. Her heroines have a particular way of being funny and interesting that makes it so fun to follow their journey.
Unfortunately with Unraveled, I'm going to have to step away from it as I don't think I'm the target audience for it. As I read on, some of the aspects of the story pushed my comfort and pet peeve button. What I did read had me chuckling as I think Lisa has a knack for writing rom coms and I love her flair for dialogue. Although this book isn't for me, I think it would definitely fit readers looking for more steamier, erotic style reads. As I enjoyed reading her last book Midnight Play, I hope to sample some more of her books in the near future.

MAKE YOU MINE AGAIN by Cheris Hodges is a second chance at love romance featuring two very stubborn people. Bradley and Jansen both are too prideful to make the first move and admit that they still have feelings for each other even though it's obvious to everyone else. Drawn back together because of Bradley's sister's wedding who just so happens to also be Jansen's best friend they won't be able to completely avoid one another. In this short read we get to see whether or not the love that Jansen and Bradley shared can overcome hurt feelings, jealousy, and misunderstandings. MAKE YOU MINE AGAIN is a quick and enjoyable read.
UNRAVELED by Lisa Marie Perry is an interesting twist on not looking to the past to validate who you are today. Ona Tracy was the lone African American girl in a prestigious high school. Ona always felt like an outsider who had to work extra hard to fit in and be accepted by her peers. After years of missteps and mistakes Ona feels that she has a chance to prove herself a success by coordinating and hosting a cruise for her class reunion. A mistake is made and she has booked her hoity–toity classmates on an erotic cruise instead of the luxury cruise that she expected. Ona now has to face the ridicule of her classmates, the lost chance of making an impression on the one boy that she crushed hard on in high school, as well as the unexpected loss of the one classmate that she could depend on. Ona finds an unexpected ally in Riker who is more than he seems. UNRAVELED is a quick sexy read with an interesting twist.
