Four Doms who have never met their match, meet Samantha. Obsession over obligation. Pleasure over pain. Submission over sensibility. Courage over consequences.She died. Well almost. And still, Samantha Hunter wanted more. More of what, she didn’t quite know, but she’d been searching for it forever. She definitely was not looking for a walking complication like Oleg Balashov. With a … Oleg Balashov.
With a commitment to an arranged marriage, there was no room for love in Oleg’s life, no time for submissive beginners who needed training, no need for anything more than the simple clarity of a mutually beneficial transaction. His fellow Doms were the only people worth counting on. Then Samantha walked into his club.
Even in Paris, the daughter of a United States Senator doesn’t belong with a Russian mafia prince, but she’s a fearless and inexperienced submissive about to rewrite all the rules for the Masters at Club Duval.
Contemporary Polyamorous Romance. Slow burning it up with three standalone books in the upcoming Unmatched Series.

I’m a long-time fan of BDSM-based romances. Among my favorite authors are Red Phoenix, Pebbles Lacasse, Simone Leigh, and Lucia Jordan. Well, move over ladies, and make plenty of room for Alyssa Turner on the goodies shelf!
This series-beginning volume shows a lot of promise. We have plenty of kink, steam, drama, angst, and superb character development. Our deliciously submissive and pleasingly curious princess is exposed to the lifestyle and learns some lessons along the way, such has being prepared when entering negotiations and not jumping in blindly with both feet. Her four doms, who feel like they are in the process of possibly becoming a reverse harem due to the level of internal commitment they feel towards our leading lady, are completely and properly dominant in appropriate settings.
This novel shows an understanding of and proper respect to the lifestyle. I can’t guess whether that’s due to excellent research or personal experience, or both, and it really doesn’t matter. The plotting, surprises and all, is outstanding and the writing is superb. When I downloaded this e-book to my tablet, I planned to take a quick look and return to other books in process. Silly me. I inhaled this one non-stop without even a potty break. Luckily I have a strong bladder and already had a container with water in reach, so I had no reason to close the tablet before a tempting cliffhanger. Any dampness left behind when I exited for the toilet was not due to urinary incontinence.
I am really looking forward to the next installment of the Unmatched series. Right now Red’s Brie saga is at 29 volumes, going on 30. Right now, I’m hoping that there’s a Sam epic inside Alyssa that’s even longer and is trying to get out into the world.
Let me start by saying I don’t give every book I review a 5star rating – but Unmeasured by Alyssa Turner is everything I wanted from Samantha and Oleg’s story.
This book is wonderfully tittilating and super hot. The scenes between Oleg and Samantha are electric. Samantha has always been out of control and when she meets Oleg, it seems that only he can bring her to heel.
Alyssa is truely a gifted writer, she makes her characters so believable, the setting is exquisitely detailed and plot line is very – stimulating. Alyssa writes the Dominant/submissive relationships with such care, that everyone who reads this book- will find the beauty and strength inherent in all D/s relationships.
Please read this book if you like unconventional love stories, hot couples and lots of bondage.
I was sent this ARC by the author in exchange for a spoiler free honest review.
This is a fantastic start to this series. I love that we get to see this relationship developed from the beginning. Oleg I loved him and Samantha she may be new to the lifestyle but she is tough and can handle Oleg. This is a dark story but it’s also light it’s a great balance. I like how we are introduced to the BDSM it’s not hardcore but you can see that it’s still the lifestyle. The storyline is interesting and well developed each character is well developed and realistic with great chemistry. The end left me with some many questions what is Henri going to do with his feelings? What’s going to happen Ivan life?
I voluntarily read a arc copy.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.
