Unraveled (Inked Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 2,065 ratings

You need someone to take care of you.
You're wound far too tightly.
You need to be...unraveled


I’m completely out of control of my life. My ex is trying to take my daughter away from me... again, my dream of owning my own motorcycle repair shop seems out of reach, and somehow, I find myself a thirty-two-year-old man who can’t afford to have a place without a roommate. So, it’s no huge surprise that the idea of being given complete control over someone’s body and pleasure is a major turn-on. I never had any inkling I might be into guys, until my best friend told me he likes to be tied up. Now I’m losing sleep, imagining him bound and begging for me. I can’t figure out if it’s just the kink or if it’s possible I’m falling for him.

**This book is a spin-off of the Heathens Ink series, featuring characters who originally appeared in Heathens Ink. This is a steamy M/M romance with some shibari, best friends to lovers themes, and a guaranteed HEA

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

K.M. Neuhold is a complete romance junkie. bisexual and polyamorous, she often describes herself as being in love with love. She loves to write stories full of bearded, cinnamon roll men who get super swoony HEAs. Her philosophy is there’s so much angst and sadness for LGBT characters in media, all she wants is to give them the happiest happily ever afters she can with little angst, tons of humor, and SO MUCH STEAM. K.M. fully admits to her tendencies of making sure every side character has a full backstory that will likely always lead to every book turning into a series or spin-off. When she's not writing she's a lion tamer, an astronaut, and a superhero...just kidding, she's likely watching Netflix and snuggling with her huskies while her amazing husband brings her coffee.

    **Copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie for my reading pleasure in hopes of an unbiased opinion, a review was not a requirement.**

    Unravaled is book 5 in K.M. Neuhold’s Heathens Ink series. Regardless of whether this book can be read as a standalone or not, this series is fantastic and you really need to read every book. Personally, I think you’ll get more pleasure if you read the books in the appropriate order.

    Clay was introduced in book 4 as Beck’s best friend and business partner. It took me a few minutes to figure out who Clay was since he’s not part of the Heathen Ink's crew. Clay is who he is and makes no apologies for it. He has his kinks but struggles to find someone to indulge in those kinks. He’s settled into his life and afraid to step outside of his comfort zone and make changes. Clay is in love with his straight roommate Max and they have a very couply, non-couply relationship. Max works with his father and brothers, and they are very stereotypical mechanics. Max has a great relationship with his daughter, and thanks to Beck, he and Clay get to spend quality time with her. Max notices Clay and enjoys being with him, and everything changes when he discovers a picture of Clay.

    As with this whole series, I like the characters in it. I thought Clay, Max and Max’s daughter were great additions to this series. I enjoyed the added Shibari in this story, which is not something I’ve read in MM books before. I have read a series involving Shibari before from a mainstream male/female author so I knew what to expect. I don’t enjoy reading BDSM but I thought this was the perfect level for me. My only concern with reading this book was I felt that Shibari wasn’t something you could just jump into. All I kept thinking while reading was, here’s this newbie picking up ropes, does he know to pay attention to tightness and if there’s numbness? And, it doesn’t seem like a newbie can just jump into patterns and doing it the right way without causing damage. So, for me, I’d like it to be more realistic than a beginner being an expert immediately.

    Something I’ve really started noticing is how authors handle the dialogue regarding female and female anatomy and this author handled it perfectly. The characters mentioned not being into women, and the author didn’t make it about women and their anatomy being gross. So, thank you to the author!!

    If you haven’t read the books in this series, I highly recommend it! I’ve loved every book and character introduced, though, I’m sorry to Clay and Max, I love you, but Beck is still my favorite character! This is a great series that covers a lot of emotional topics but keeps from drowning you in depression.

    This is another of Ms. Neuhold’s sweet, heartwarming romances that comes with some extra spice. Clay’s need for bondage was explained well with as a balance for his personal tics. Max’s “I’m straight” protestations continued a little longer than I liked. He shifted gears pretty quickly once he accepted that he wanted Clay. The characters are decently, if not deeply drawn but along with the pacing, it suited the style of the story. Enjoyable light reading, low angst, no BDSM and a very light touch of D/s.

    Clay has had feelings for his straight roommate for some time. Max starts noticing he is attracted to Clay. Will they get their HEA?
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2018
    I love, love, loved it! It's a fast paced, heartwarming story. That will make you go "awww" and "omg, that's so hot" trough out the book!

    "-If you're trying to gey into my pants, flattery will get you everywhere," Clay slurs and then giggles."

    Unraveled is about Clay Rollins (Beck's best friend) who owns the dance studio, On Pointe. He has the biggest crush on his very straight roommate, Max!
    Clay is hopelessly looking for a partner he can trust with his mind and body. He has a kink that scare most of the guys.

    Max Moretti works in his family's car shop, but he is dreaming of working in a motorcycle shop and fix classic bikes.
    Gigi, his seven year old daughter, is his life! It's been ages since he was on a date, but lately, non of the women he meets is giving him the feelings he is looking for.

    One drunken night, Clay tells Max about his kink. And he is deadly afraid that Max is going to kick him out of the apartment. But Max gets intrigued. And he can't seem to get a specific picture out of his head...

    I can't seem to get out in words how much I loved the connection and the love between Clay and Max!!

    "My daddy wants to kiss you and be with you forever," Gigi declares with a smile."

    If you haven't read the previous books in the A Heathens Ink series, then you'll get a good tease of the guys in this book. I love those guys!!

    "-A gentleman doesn't get ravaged by a hunk and tell," I quip. "-No fair, I told you when Gage and I finally got down and dirty," Beck pouts. "-Exactly, you are far from a gentleman."

    I usually love books by this author but this book seemed rushed and disconnected. The potential was there for it to be a really good book but it just kinda fell flat for me.

    Reviewed in Brazil on January 23, 2023
    In Beck and Gage’s book we met Clay, Beck’s best friend and started to cheer for his love story right away.

    He is an awesome person, sweet and extremely faithful friend, but he also suffers from extreme anxiety and OCD.
    Finally, he is head over heels in love with his straight roommate Max.

    Max loves Clay, he just never realized he could be also In love with his best friend and roommate Clay.

    Enjoy their story as it’s very heartwarming and very sexy at the same time.

    Clay est si attachant, tendre et généreux. Prêt à sacrifier son bonheur pour celui d'une autre personne. 10 ans de souffrance sans avoir pu trouver le bonheur et il le trouve enfin dans les bras de son meilleur ami Max, qui lui découvre un nouvel aspect de sa personnalité. Ils se découvrent l'un et l'autre, se construisent l'un et l'autre grâce à leur amour.

    You know when you read a really terrific book and it was so good that you want to read more about the main characters and the secondary characters? Well K.M. Neuhold does just that with this off shoot from her marvelous Heathens Ink series. Now we can just keep reading and reading and hopefully reviewing.

    Reviewed in Australia on February 10, 2018
    This story had all the feels, I laughed, I shed a few tears, I felt the love and the heartache. This is such a wonderfully told story by an author who is now firmly one of my one-click faves and definitely goes in the reread folder. This is Clay (Becks BFF) and his flatmate Max’s story. It has elements of BDSM which is a necessity for one of them and a man who always assumed he was staright but turns out he is infact a little bent. The BDSM elements where handled so well by the author and the reasoning behind the need is well explained. This story also has an adorable 7 yr old girl who is Max’s daughter. As always the story is brilliantly written and the character development is on pointe ( little pun there). We also get to see all our other fave Heathens Ink men *sighs*...... Royal, and I truly enjoy that aspect. It can be read as a standalone, but trust me, you want to read all of them.
