REVIEW

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

I am in complete and utter denial that this series is over .. I know Marni Mann will do a 6 and a 7 and a ….. my balloon of fantasy popped because this really was the end. SIGH

Alright .. now that I am done with the dramatics, I have to say this was by far one of the best serial series I have ever read. Please go and read my past reviews to get a good grasp on this story as I am not going to review the entire serial here, but only Unblocked #5 the final episode on the Timber Tower Series.

Derek and Frankie have finally gotten their you know what together and seem to have bonded to face the greater evil. Derek knows in order to keep Frankie, he is going to have to spill his guts, secrets, and feelings and lay it all out. There is a fear that Frankie will reject him after she learns what he has been plotting. Frankie also has her past to face and you get to see her finally saying what needs to be said and take a stand she should of taken a while ago.

This ending came together brilliantly, and Marni really hit a grand slam in giving us readers the ending we wanting and the answers we were desperate for. Reading this ending was like seeing all the pieces to a puzzle come together. So much character growth, trust, security and self assurance was portrayed by both the leads. I have to say that those love scenes were very .. er … cough … umm, LOVING! Actually loving is being too kind .. they were BEAUTIFULLY DIRTY and absolutely TOE CURLING! Derek likes his dirty talk, and Rachel (that’d be me) likes to read it! LOL

I really am sad this has come to an end, but very pleased that all my questions were answered. I loved the business and architecture aspect of this serial but much of that has to do with the way Derek and Frankie were portrayed!

Can’t wait for your next book Marni as you have proven time and again I can always rely on you for an awesome read!

HAPPY READING! 🙂

REVIEW:

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

Oh MAN … this story is about to blow apart .. I LOVE IT!

Unblocked #4  by Marni Mann is the fourth story in her serial series “Timber Towers“. We are almost at an end to this series and the you know what is about to hit the fan.  This book is where Derek and Frankie have to lay down the line and make a decision one way or another about where this relationship is going and how one feels for the other.  

Sure there is lots of lust, but is there something concrete and deeper?  Knowing that Frankie has doubts, Derek decides to take her away and open himself up to her.  He intends to come clean with all, and when his annoying ex who is up to no good tries to ruin their private vacay he knows that he has to take care of his revenge business swiftly if he is going to truely give Frankie all she wants.  

Marni leaves us with another cliffhanger and she peeled back a few layers of secrets that is our amazing Derek.  You can sense there is much more and I am anxious to find out what he is all about.  Once again, she nails the toe curling, yummy hot scenes.  Very eager for the conclusion to this serial.

HAPPY READING!

excerpt

“Tonight is about us, no one else, and that’s the way I want it to stay. No more interruptions,” Derek said.
I took a deep breath and reached for my wine. I wasn’t going to let my brain jump to conclusions. This weekend was about us. Not Taylor. Not Reed. “I agree.”
He leaned into the table, his hand moving higher up my leg. “Kiss me.”
We weren’t in a back booth, and this restaurant wasn’t nearly as private as The Hole. There were more servers, a more open floor plan, many other tables close by. What he was asking for was much more than the peck I had given him before I’d gone to the bathroom. “Those fingers,” I said, placing my hand on top of them, “aren’t planning on going any higher, are they?”He licked his bottom lip, teasing me with just the swipe of his tongue and the whiskers that surrounded it. “They weren’t, no. But now that I know it’s on your mind, I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop them.”

REVIEW

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

OH ME OH MY Marni Mann.  I am so LOVING this series and you totally left me lying like a big pile of gush with this latest release!

This review of Unblocked is for the third episode of this novella serial series.  In the last episode we were left with Derek and Frankie realizing that there was no future to be together, and with Frankie seeing a woman leaving Derek’s place (a woman that is quite significant to her past relationship with her ex).  Both try to remain professional but when you know what hits the fan, Derek realizes that one night will never be enough, and now he wants to lay claim on Frankie.  Boy does he ever lay claim !  LOL

We learn the devastating history that Frankie has been living with and her ex is trying to jump back in the picture .. Derek will be having NONE of that.  In the midst of all of this, Frankie is trying to do her best to deliver her “A” game selling Derek’s property, Derek is setting up some kind of revenge on a rival and trying to keep tabs on Frankie and her ability to run away.

We are left with a major cliffhanger … BAD BAD Marni (LOVE LOVE LOVE it .. WINK) and I am so excited for the continuation of this story.  Super HOT scenes that have topped the first two episodes, and another round of the blow up chemistry between our leads, I love the set up for this story as much as I love the rest of the yummy that goes along with it!

HAPPY READING!

“If you want me, if you want this, then you have to tell me. And it has to be now.” I looked at her wrist. The bracelet she knew I liked was wrapped around her delicate skin; it was the one I had once asked her to wear. She had worn it today and that told me everything I needed to know. “Because Frankie, I don’t believe you really want things between us to end.” Her cheeks darkened and her pupils began to dilate with need. “If you tell me you don’t want me, I’ll…” She had to know I would respect her despite what I wanted. “…I’ll put you down and I’ll leave your condo. What happened between us won’t affect what we have professionally. I promise. But if you want me, then—”

Description:

One taste was all it took.

This is Episode Two of the five-episode Timber Towers novella series.

 

Review:

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

I HATE serial series!
I LOVE serial series!
I SUPER LOVE THIS serial series!

Ok, so I admit when I read a serial series that I wait for the entire series to be completed and then marathon read it so any cliffhangers do not leave me hanging for long .. BUT .. when you are reviewing a series as it is being released you certainly do not have that option … so here I am hanging super high from this cliff, cursing Marni Mann and eagerly anticipating the next episode.  SIGH!  LOL

Unblocked is Part Two of Marni Mann‘s serial series call Timber Towers.  It is the continuation of Derek and Frankie’s story and let me tell you, my e-reader was steaming (or maybe that was me .. WINK).  Frankie is the top real estate agent in her city and is about to land a major contract of Derek’s building.  These two have instant chemistry, and severe attraction between them, but both have concerns with regards to keeping their relationship strictly professional.  Well one taste is all it takes for the personal and professional lines to become blurred. 

This episode was a little but more revealing.  We are being set up for a juicy revenge plot, a past Frankie cannot seem to get away from and a massive battle between heart and will.  You know that Derek may believe in black and white thinking (one night Derek .. really???), but when it comes to Frankie there is a whole lot of shade.

Major cliffhanger with this one and I CAN’T WAIT for the next!

HAPPY READING! 🙂

excerpt

“I held her wrists above her head and leaned down so she could feel my words, not just hear them. “I give you what I want, when I want – my fingers, my mouth, my tongue…” My hand dropped to my zipper. I fisted the crotch of my jeans. “Even my fucking cock. Understood?”
I expected her to pull back, but her focus seemed to soften as her eyes traveled down my stomach and settled on my hand. I released the bulge so she could get a better look at my dick.
She licked her lips. “Got it.”
I knelt on the bed and straddled her body, holding her hands against the headboard. I had made a special request for this bed, I wanted something wooden, with slats on the headboard, carved and sanded, so the finish was smooth on all four sides. I knew she could handle the rubbing, but I didn’t want her skin cut or splintered.
“You’re not going to tie me up…”
I weaved the flannel around her wrists and secured the knots to the headboard. “I’m not?” The shirt was tight enough to prevent her from moving, but loose enough to allow circulation.
She glanced at my handiwork. “You warned me that you would do this…I never thought you really would.”
“Don’t ever doubt me, Frankie. I always keep my promises.”

Unblocked by Marni Mann – a Review

 

UnblockedAmazon / Barnes & Noble

DESCRIPTION:
Derek Block seeks revenge. Frankie Jordan seeks professional dominance. He wants her, she wants him. Lines that can’t cross begin to blur. Things start heating up as real estate gets real…

This is the first episode of a five-episode novella series.


REVIEW

4 out of 5 for this reader folks!

I have been on a serial novella kick lately and I am pleased to add Unblocked by Marni Mann to this list. Unblocked is the first novella and basically the establishment for the plot line. It is typical to Marni’s writing (if you haven’t read her previous books, do yourself a favour and check them because she will blow your socks off) as it sucks you right in and before you know it the read if over. She writes hot, intelligent characters that compliment and push each other. There is always a layer of intrigue and I know her as the writer that drops a “WTF just happened” (in a awesome way) moment in her stories.

Derek Block is in the process of building Timber Towers and is looking to hire on a professional real estate agent. Frankie Jordan just so happens to be rated the top real estate agent and also the heir to her father’s company. Both are seriously good at what they do and take it seriously. Lines are not to crossed during business … well until they are that is …..

Frankie is about to land the contract for Timber Towers which will serve her well as she is coming off a bad break up and feeling a little lackluster. She also has to prove to daddy dearest that she can handle being the CEO is his company. Derek is dominant, unapologetic, animalistic, and makes a lady want to … yah well … you know! 😉 LOL He is also plotting some kind of revenge. These two cannot seen to resist the strong pull they have towards each other, but will business rules sway their decisions???

This story is long from over and I cannot wait for the next serial to see where Marni is going to take us!

HAPPY READING! 🙂
