“She smells like flowers—the dangerous ones that bloom in the night and occasionally eat unsuspecting bystanders.”Scorpio is a retired punk-rock singer and the baddest wedding logistics coordinator in the biz. She has a style. Spiky hair, chains, and unending attitude. Harlan is the big, tough, tats-and-leather manager of Fettered, Seattle’s best BDSM club. He’s curious what might be under … He’s curious what might be under Scorpio’s spikes, and he’s got infallible instincts where subs are concerned.
Or he thought he did.
Until a certain flower eats them in the night.

Reveal is about as much about learning who you are and are scared of being, as it is in letting go and embracing what today holds. This book lets you explore more of this series by surrounding you with great everyday characters that you can find anywhere in life. Of course, it will leave you longing for more every time you put it down, and I don’t mean with just words either.
Scorpio and Harlan’s story was engaging, quite sweet at times and super hot. It was a really easy, pleasant and light read, with a little bit of angst and a lot of steam.
Whilst I liked Scorpio and Harlan, I never really felt like I got to know them deeply. It’s not that they were one dimensional but I felt like we only skimmed the surface of them. I didn’t really care for all the “edge” references, I still couldn’t say with 100% certainty if it meant something good, something bad or just pushing boundaries. In fact there was too much talking in code and I think that was part of what prevented me from connecting with the characters in this story.
That said, the story flows really well, the kink scenes, the negotiations, the actions and reactions felt very natural and real. I love the banter, the humour and the support between not only Harlan and Scorpio but also with their friends. It added a fullness to the story.
Things progressed quite rapidly between Harlan and Scorpio and it did feel very insta-love, which is somewhat of a soft limit for me. However I enjoyed them as a couple, and loved how they connected as much more than Dom and sub.
I love the way Lilia Moon incorporates “vanilla” people with the BDSM Club people. Fettered is a series that isn’t so much about the sex, but about the way of the lifestyle. The love people have for each other, the way they take care of each other. It’s so beautifully written, you just want to hug all these amazing characters. Scorpio and Harlan are wonderful characters who just don’t know who they want to be at the moment, they walk a fine line together to figure it out. And all their friends are just lovable enough to but in when they mess things up. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Book two of the Fettered series. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone, but secondary characters are throughout the series. Full length told in dual POV with HEA. Series takes place in / around the BDSM club and the secondary characters are all coworkers that feel more like a family. I really liked this book! Although the timeline that the book takes place is very short the story is very detailed. Scorpio needs to be tough and she thinks to be soft is a sign of weakness or being less than. Harlan wants to teach Scorpio that she holds the power in submitting. I am looking forward to reading more in this series, and I highly recommend!!
An emotional story of breaking walls and finding strength from within and from those around you.
Another excellent series book from Lilia Moon. Gosh, I like her characters. Harlan and Scorpio’s looks are deceiving. He’s all tatted up, professional Dom and BDSM club manager. She’s the epitome of a punk rocker, sassy and irreverent. He sees something in her and decides to push the envelope. She pushes back at first but finally gives into her wants and he gives her what she needs. They slowly dismantle each other’s walls through trial and error. They find their “in-between.”
Love this author and the depth in human emotions.
