Unbind (Sub Rosa Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars 104 ratings

We should chase away from what we’re scared of, right? Run as fast as we can. Yet some of us seem to veer toward chaos and destruction…

Chloe sees anguish and despair lurking beneath the surface of Cai Matthews, the dark and dangerously handsome freelance photographer she meets on her first day in a new job. She can’t see straight in his presence—blinded by a blistering sexual attraction that has the potential to sweep her clean off her feet.

When Cai disappears from the workplace and doesn’t come back, Chloe tries to find out more about his life but all she knows is he’s set to inherit a ton of money and his aunt runs one of the most famous fashion magazines in the world.

Cai is running from a complicated past he doesn’t like talking about. Gossip columns rage with speculation concerning him and his aunt, who took guardianship of Cai after his parents died.

Conscientious journalist Chloe has a mind for details and once she gains access to his world, Cai realises she could undo every, single dirty little secret that he and his aunt have tried desperately to cover up.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book brought me to tears at one point, so strong was the powerful and personal emotion presented, and by the end of the book, I found the perspective of truth from each character painting a completely different set of events, much like the human condition tends to do outside of fiction." -William Kirkman, author
"I have to admit, as of now, this is my favorite romance to date." -
Reviews From the Heart
"It is easy to love the central characters but Sarah brings to life just as vividly each and every one of the minor ones." -
Nerd Girl Official
"I am a huge fan of love stories with a twist of mystery but this book blew my mind." -

Sarah Michelle Lynch
Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Typically Sarah's books are steamy, suspenseful and rife with twists and turns, but after writing dozens of novels, she's still looking for that new and exciting thing to get stuck into and tends to try out new genres when the mood suits.

Sarah is also known as an editor and has produced six charity anthologies featuring hundreds of different authors. So you might say that typically, words are her thing. However, she’s a literary events organiser too, the founder of "Authors at the Armouries" no less.

What you can always be sure of from a Sarah Michelle Lynch novel is that there will be strong, complex characters, dynamics you never saw coming, a lot of curveballs along the way - not to mention sights, sounds and scents that truly transport you to another place. She makes no apologies for writing stunning sex scenes that are never boring. Those are what her readers demand and she unashamedly continues to produce books that are real, gritty and full of genuine character.

    Two people with pasts they are running away from end up colliding in this story and when they do there are sparks, heat, and fireworks! Chloe leaves everything from her past behind including her job and the place she called home in order to start fresh. This is working great until she meets another wounded soul, namely Cai. I absolutely fell head over heels in love with both of them and when they are together, the heat steam comes right off the pages! They may feel that their pasts are worth leaving there in order to move forward, but Cai's aunt has different ideas and wants them nowhere near each other. This is part romance, part suspense, and part erotica and together combine for a perfect trifecta! Strong characters make a strong story that much better and this is a story you will love to read over and over again. You may need to because as you read it and think you know what is going to happen next, BOOM, something totally different happens and you are left wondering how you missed that! Definite addition to your TBR shelf if you are looking for a hot romance that will leave you fulfilled.

    The story is pretty good, but the explicit sex was too much for me. I found myself skipping multiple pages at a time which is irritating. The story could have been told in half the pages without all that.

    Disclaimer: Not suitable for younger readers. Contains strong sexual content.

    In Unbind we have two characters running from their pasts for a fresh start. An unexpected meeting creates an instant fire between the two but that same past they are running from is also the very thing that keeps them from opening up to the future.

    The story is surly a romantic tale with some very good erotica done tastefully so, romantic fans and erotica fans will both be satisfied with the book. Now don't let the word "erotica" fill your head with biases of low frills myopic plot line centered on the carnal interactions of the characters. Take out that content and you still have an enjoyable read. Think of it as the icing on an already tasty cake.

    If I had any complaints, it would be that there are still a lot of questions to be answered. Readers that follow my reviews know that I dislike stories that do not have a clear ending so that they can stand on their own. I understand the authors want to tickle the curiosity for the next edition to the series I think that further explanation of the characters past would not have hindered readers thirst for the next book and would have ensured others stay connected to the series and not stopping after being frustrated.

    I do not usually go for these types of books because of the graphic nature, but I fell in love with Chloe and Cai (love that name), and just HAD to find out how their story was going to end. The author developed these characters so effortlessly, piecing their back stories together as the plot progressed. The mysterious nature of ALL of the characters throughout was quite thrilling and kept me guessing all the way to the end. This author definitely knows how to write a HOT love scene, using words that are not for virginal ears or the faint of heart. Surprisingly,each love scene was unique; I was worried they would all just repeat. I would definitely read other books by this author and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a dirty romance novel. I am proud to be the first to review it. Well done, Sarah!

    I'd like to give this a 3.5 stars because for the most part I liked the book and characters a lot. Chloe and Cai were well developed. There were a few parts in the book, especially towards the end, where I couldn't put it down. However, there were also several parts that seemed unnecessary and kind of dragged on leaving me bored at times.

    Overall a good read. Plot was pretty complicated and I still don't know if I completely understand it all. I would like to read the next book to see if it answers the questions left of the first book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping. Passionate. Emotional. Mysterious.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2016
    This is a Russian Doll of a book.
    Every time you think that you have it all worked out, along comes another layer to throw you off your game.
    It has everything from the love story that is Chloe and Kincaid, the mystery of the rose, and some seriously dark pasts.
    One minute you're revelling in the passion of the two main characters (Chloe is one of the realest characters I have read to date, bless her bones), and the next you are trying to untangle the web of mystery surrounding Kincaid's tortured childhood.
    Throughout the story, there are chapters that cover Kincaid's past which show us how he became such a tormented adult.
    The reader is constantly kept on their toes, therefore it is easy to become immersed in this world. There is a constant awareness that there could be more hidden just beneath the surface of every event that occurs.
    It takes great skill to write a book that can grab you from the start, and even more still to keep you engaged until the very end.
    Sarah has achieved this with Unbind.
    Gripping, passionate, emotional - Unbind is all of these and so much more.
    Five stars doesn't seem enough. Highly recommended. (This is part of a three part series that continues in 'Unfurl' and concludes with 'Unleash'.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Understandable emotions in twisted characters make for a great read.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2015
    I found the book a pleasure to read, down to earth and showing understandable emotions in the twisted characters. Surrounded by luxury yet weighed down with sickening memories, Cai and Chloe fall in love. I'm not interested in explicit sex, yet the scenes will appeal to some readers, and are written so well that they hardly offend. I skipped those sections, relying on the plot to entice me forward. Chloe's unique thoughts drew me into her rise in a career of journalism, featuring fashion descriptions and with various personalities of those around to guide her. Despite self doubts, she does well. Her lover Cai remains a mystery although he hints at events from his sordid childhood. Worried for Chloe, I followed the fantastic plot, which kept my attention with twists and turns to the very end. With it's faultless writing, I can do no better than give this book five stars.
