Come undone
Come Undone is about the unplanned and unexpected attraction between a married woman and a unobtainable playboy. Olivia and Bill have been married for almost five years. They are both career driven individuals who balance time between friends and themselves. With no children to tie them down they are free to go in weekend trips and work away from home.
Bill pursued Olivia at work asking her on a date until she finally said, “yes”. Olivia never gave the idea of marriage much thought. She knew she didn’t want an abusive relationship. She found contentment and safety in her marriage to Bill until he pressured her for more.
Olivia works an Assistant editor for the Chicago Metropolitan Magazine. Her assignment is to interview Chicago’s Most Eligible Bachelors and Bachelorettes. For years the magazine has wanted to interview David Dylan for the article. Not until Olivia became the editor did David finally agree. Sparks buzzed between them as they found themselves tangled together by the same social circles.
Overall:
It’s more than seduction. It’s drawing ones mind out of the fog sense of complacency. Jessica teeters the edge of forbidden wickedly. She has me craving all the wrong reasons for cheating. How can it be wrong when it feels so right?
Come Undone will have you questioning your morals between right and wrong. Certain lines will be crossed, yet under the circumstances they will have you confused if they are being unfaithful.
Jessica is my go to girl when I’m in the mood for a good sexy read. What’s better is her ability to write a well thought out and thought provoking cheating romance.
He’s the other man, but I’m certain you will fall in love with David for his motives are purely sinful. He’s a man devoted to making Olivia his.
Stories such as these bring about much debate. I love both the positive and negative comments this story produces. The battle is real. The feelings are strong. The pain is heartbreaking. The pleasure is addictive.
Narrator:
Andy Arndt is the queen of audiobook romance. Andy brought Olivia’s character to life. Andy is a narrator, producer, and coach. She is a household name in the audiobook world. When I see her name attached to an audiobook I know I’m getting my money’s worth. Quality work is what you’ll get. She’s a top performer and an award winning artist.
You can’t go wrong owning an audiobook narrated by Andi Arndt. Every book she narrates is enhanced by her performance skills.
Come Alive
On the outside Olivia looked perfect. On the inside she was screaming for help. Olivia was drowning in guilt as well as fear from her past. Olivia poured all her energy into work shutting both Bill and David out emotionally.
Olivia’s character finally takes the time to process her emotions. Being with another man has given her new clarity on her marriage with Bill. She’s opened her eyes to herself.
Overall:
I could relate to Olivia’s doubts and concerns about herself and her relationship with her husband. Her concerns were plausible reasons for having fears of moving forward.
What really pulls the reader in is David’s honesty. He faces each situation head on and really reads Olivia. He’s dialed in to her mannerisms, her body language, and her tells. I know David is older but he also seemed wiser. The way he knew how to guide Olivia was perfection. He was in tune to her emotional state.
Jessica’s writing style lines up with my interest of an emotionally driven story. The way she captured Olivia’s emotions had me pausing to recount my own feelings. I share so many personality traits with Olivia’s character. I couldn’t help but compare her situation to my own.
I couldn’t help but get attached to David as well. His motives were honorable despite the circumstances. I found his qualities attractive with how he could withhold his desire to build a better relationship.
Come together
Bill is a lawyer who practices law based on the right and wrong theory leaving no room for the grey area. His personal life is met by the same standards. Bill doesn’t make room or allow for emotions to rule choices. He bases his reasoning on clear direct answers. In his marriage, Olivia’s fears plays an interesting factor in how he makes decisions. He views her fears as her setbacks and something she must address on her own. While Olivia views her fears as a sign that the person she’s with is not right for her. The fears stem from a place of doubt for a reason and should be expressed and dealt with together. As Olivia factors in her fears with how Bill makes decisions she learns to stand up for herself in ways she never did before.
Overall:
Bill’s character had an analytical perspective which formulated well as a lawyer. Jessica illustrated his logical sense with Olivia so convincingly. At times I almost forget I’m reading a fictional character because the way she writes her characters is so similar to real life individuals. It’s easy to connect and identify certain characteristics.
You know what I think about as I read the sexual nature of David’s character? I think how obvious that it’s written by a female writer because if a man wrote those sex scenes they certainly would be lacking in the angst department. Men have a tendency to focus on the physical need while women focus on the emotional need. This right here is what separates the two types of writers. Jessica creates these book boyfriends just for us women. It’s no wonder my list of book boyfriends is extremely long. When a woman writes a male character devoting his attention to a woman’s emotional side it is by the sexiest thing in the world.
It was not the ending I was expecting, yet it was in true Jessica fashion. She likes to create realistic situations with her unconventional choices. It’s so easy to get invested in these characters and want a different outcome after all Jessica put a lot of time and effort in developing her characters. David and Olivia worked in this story and it ended the way Jessica intended it to. This is what separates her from all the other authors. She’s not afraid to go against the grain by offering another form of unconditional love.

About the author
Oh boy... This was an intense and incredible journey!
🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧 This trilogy is something else... I was sooooo invested in these characters lives, that I couldn't stop listening! If you're used to my reviews, you know that for me, cheating should be present in trigger warnings, because I hate it 😂😂. BUT, this is a trilogy about an affair... So that's exactly what I was expecting. What I didn't expect, was to fall utterly and completely in love with David, The homewrecker! 😂 Olivia is happily married to Bill (or so she thought) for 5 years. One night at a ballet's bar, her eyes catched the most handsome and intense man she had ever met, and David just knew... After only one look, that she was the one that he was waiting for his whole life. Obviously he wasn't waiting for her in celibacy, but he also didn't expected that she would have been already taken by another man. Their love story isn't an easy one... Quite the opposite actually. It's real! So so so real, and raw, and intense and heartbreaking and sexy, and overwhelming and so.... REAL! Because it's not just an affair... It's a life already traced with someone else... a life that was suppose to move forward with someone else. And a life that starts to look like a prison... An obligation. It's Olivia's fears and insecurities, her past and her present, her husband and her happiness in opposite sides. But OMG, how David fights for her!! He's my man! Period! Possessive, intense, cocky, handsome and so in love with Olivia... He worshipped her! I loved this trilogy and if you're in to one hell of a ride, I highly recommend it! Andi Arndt is responsible for the narration on the Audiobook and I love it!
