This is two novels in one box set and features the relationship between Tessa and Xavier. There are a lot of twists and turns in this story and some possible triggers for some readers due to the dark content. I thought both books were well written and loved the interaction between the main characters. This is a lovely delightfully dark box set.

Loved the books they were great, the stories were well written and the characters were interesting. This series of two books were great, the stories were unique on there own they were told by the two main characters Tessa and Xavier. Once I started reading the books I could not stop, it was fast paced. Xavier was ruthless, not caring about others including betraying the one man that saved his life. Tessa was groomed for one man, when she starts to find out some truths things change. She was taught discipline and submission and was sold to a ruthless man. There were so many twists and turns and adrenaline rush and excitement, heartache, sorrow, lust, infatuation and maybe love.
Thank you for you allowing me to review your books.

The Unbreakable Series Boxed Set by A.L. Long contains two books entitled Beneath Deception and BeneathSubmission which are both phenomenal romantic suspense reads. Beneath Deception begins the story of Xavier London, who hides his secretive past, and Tessa Sands, who is saved by Xavier from the man who she was raised to be with and satisfy. BeneathSubmission is the continuation of their story which focuses on Tessa’s discovery of the truth about Xavier. When Colin Gates appears into their saga, Tessa ends up being sold to another ruthless man. Can Xavier save her? I highly recommend this well written and phenomenal romantic suspense boxed set.!

Despite the darkness of story I was enthralled!

This was a difficult book for me to read, the darkness that surrounded Tessa was was overpowering and I hope that no woman would have to experience the life that she did in real life. I am glad that this was a book of fiction and hope that if such depravity exists that the people responsible are punished. I found it interesting to read the story from his and then her perspective and thought it was very well done. Tessa had an innocence about her despite the life she had and Xavier was a man who cared very little about people until he met Tessa. Despite the darkness of story I was enthralled and had to continue reading until the end.

This was a great boxset to read with characters that are well developed and engaging and have plenty of chemistry throughout the pages. The storylines are well written and flow smoothly from page to page.

This is Xavier and Tessa’s story. These two characters have a story that unfolds to reveal all sorts of goodies along the way and leaves you wondering if there is a HEA in store for them or not. Lots of twists and turns and secrets ready to be unleashed as the characters find themselves attracted to one another and trying to figure out if theirs is one of true love or not. I enjoyed reading this story and going through the motions of Xavier and Tessa in hopes of a HEA ending. Enjoy!

The Unbreakable Series includes two books. This first book is Xavier’s POV and the second is Tessa’s POV. This is a dark, steamy story with twists that kept me interesting in the story. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
wow what a series. from the first page you are curious about what is going to happen and you hold that until the end of the second part. I really enjoyed these books .. the excitement is good from the first chapter, the characters well described. from me therefore 5 stars

I really wanted to like this duet and was looking forward to a tasty treat. Guess it just wasn’t meant to be as I couldn’t connect with the main couple throughout the story.
Not really a fan of selfish London at the start of this romance. His flippant arrogant way with Ginger was a testament to his character while he judged Colin’s treatment of Tessa with the same brush.
His immediate attraction to Tessa was odd, and her plea for rescue was interesting as she really knew nothing about him after their initial and brief meeting at the club. Full of twists and turns as the first book was told in London’s POV along with his secret identity that he denied throughout the first book.
Tessa was pretty much the victim and there really wasn’t much to her. I like my heroines a bit smarter, stronger, and feistier, and she showed none of those characteristics to draw me to her.
The second book started with her POV, and I was looking forward to knowing her better. The first half recounted book one with Tessa’s POV. By the time the storyline caught up with the cliffy from book one, I was kind of bored. I have to be honest to say that this storyline had a lot of twists and turns to keep it interesting, I just couldn’t connect with the main characters.

The Unbreakable Series: Box Set has two books, Beneath Deception and Beneath Submission. The books center around Xavier and Tessa. He becomes her knight in shining armor and she becomes the woman he cannot live without. Their feelings for one another can’t be denied, which leads to some very steamy moments.
In Beneath Deception, Xavier saves Tessa from a cruel man and a horrible life. As they fall hard for one another, his past comes back to haunt him. Filled with action, suspense, and steamy romance, Beneath Deception, has an engaging storyline that leads right into the next book with a bit of a cliffhanger that made me curse out loud.
Beneath Submission takes us into the sordid world of sex slaves and human trafficking in which Tessa was raised. Once Xavier saves her from Colin Gates she has a chance at happiness, freedom, and love. Unfortunately, her life would not turn around that easily. Giving the readers a glimpse into an aspect of society that most think only exists in the news. Beneath Submission is a story about a woman finding the strength to survive her circumstances and her past, and in the process, she helps another do so as well. The story is wrought with suspense, a couple of surprising twists, and with Xavier and Tessa in a room, lots of steamy passion. What is awesome is that they do find their happily ever after.

Two books told from different perspectives. The first part is seen from Xavier London. A hit man club owner with a secret past. A new request has everything spinning out of control. The second book is from Tessa Sands view. Her story begins when she meets Xavier and how her past refuses to let her go.
I absolutely loved it. It had suspense, romance (some very steamy sex) and hope. The struggles that the characters go through had me rooting for a happy ending. Page turning storyline.

To be honest it took me a while to get into the story, it was all a bit long. I liked the main characters and their chemistry (although I think they became too much, too fast). Beneath Deception is the first book of the story and follows Xavier. This story is filled with secrets, pain, danger, doubts with a strong, horrible villain.
Beneath Submission is the second book in this series. Although I never really got into the story I still wanted to know how it would end. The first book was from Xavier’s point of view, this one is from Tessa (I kind of missed Xavier who was absent from most of this book).

This is an intriguing story about two people who are living in disguise. Xavier is Collins go to guy for everything under handed while Tessa is his possession, taken from her father at a young age. When Xavier finds out about Tessa’s identity he will stop at nothing to her get free from Collin.

GREAT READ!
A great set of reads that kept me intrigued throughout the unique storyline that at times quickly had me tearing up the pages but at others was slower paced but did not deter in my decision as to how well I enjoyed this series and would gladly recommend it as a great read. It’s edgy intense with some eye popping shock factors hot twisted and unique.
Not a bad series but nothing great. If you like violence with your romance then this book will appeal to you.
