The growth of friendship
This is the perfect little story of what happens when two people realize that what they need has been in front of them the entire time. This book is a super fast read that grabs your attention quickly and keeps it to the end. Their our many hiccups on the way to the HEA, but what growing relationship doesn’t have those. I think you are going to enjoy this story. I can’t wait to read the next book.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
Garrick has been in the friend-zone since Jade put him there in high-school. But that’s about to change. He’s done waiting, and he’s had his fill of women that aren’t her. Jade had no idea going to a party would be so world-changing. That is until she sees Garrick and discovers he is one of the club owners. Surprises don’t stop there. He’s done standing on the sidelines. It’s time to change zones. But moving form friends to lovers is hard enough without the complications of his dominating ways and her need to submit. Getting this wrong could ruin everything. Getting it right could mean the world.
This is the story of Jade and Garrick. They have been friends for a very long time but they are beginning to realize they want to be more than just friends. If it fails though they could lose each other and that is very upsetting to both of them. However you just might miss what life has in store for you if you let fear rule you life. Garrick is part owner of a kink club and when Jade decides she needs some kink in her life she just might be opening the door that they have been waiting on to open. This book is short and steamy and I loved every single second of it.
Garrick and Jade’s story is just sweet and sexy as Jamison and Carissa’s in “Until Daddy”.
A pleasant read, just right for curling up with on a cold night. Lots of feels and a lot of love for these two characters. Hoping there will be more from this world soon.
Friends to lovers stories always scare me. You never know if they will work out. Will they ruin their friendship forever? Will they find their happily ever after together? Will one person spend the rest of their life watching the one they love be happy with someone else? Oh, it’s so much anxiety – I love it! Measha Stone does a great job of creating this unknown in Unzoned.
Fantastic read!
Did you ever have that friend you didn’t want to be “friends” with anymore? Well, in this story, Garrick and Jade have been friends, but he is determined to make it more than that. These two have known each other for so long, and now he wants to take it to the next level, but Jade is unsure. She doesn’t want to ruin anything between them. Can Garrick win her over? Will Jade realize she has feelings for him as well? These two characters have incredible chemistry and I loved their interactions. While this may be a novella, it is packed with hotness! I truly enjoyed this and you will too!
The first book in the Black Lace series is Unzoned. It is a BDSM novella and is a friends-to-lovers story. Would you risk a great friendship to pursue your bestie of eight years, and risk ruining your relationship? That’s the question Jade wants answered. I love the way Garrick has finally had enough and takes charge, breaking down all the walls Jade tries to put between them-the D/s dynamic seemed to fit naturally in their evolving relationship. Short but steamy.
I received a copy of this book. My honest review is voluntarily provided.
A short, sweet, funny and sexy novella by Measha Stone. Jade and Garrick have been friends for years. This novella sees them changing from friends to lovers and at the same time engaging into a D/s relationship.
Even though this is a short novella there is still a lot of story in there and the development of their relationship.
A wonderful quick read.
Friends to lovers is always a challenge, but add in a D/s dynamic and it can be explosive. This fast read will hold you in its grasp from start to finish. As always, the author creates characters that you fall in love with and want to see overcome the obstacles that come their way. You feel part of the story and are invested in the outcome. Her words weave a web around your imagination that you can’t and don’t want to escape, leaving you gasping for breath at the sizzle and hating that the story will come to an end.
Oh I loved this one it was short but so sweet as Garrick and Jade bff forever and in the friend zone , will making a move ruin it all as they come head to head no longer wanting to wait and let the true feelings out and taking that leap into something more powerful. This couple have amazing chemistry but will Jade take the chance and let her feelings out.
A sweet and sexy story that sets the stage for this new series
—>>> When Garrick finally sees the one woman who has held his interest since their high school days walk through Dark Lace, a BDSM he has invested in, all bets were off that he would continue to hold back on his needs for her beyond the solid best-friend relationship they have. Jade is fearful of losing what she has with Garrick, and the story describes all her fears and objections to moving forward emotionally with the man she has also secretly been crushing on forever. Together they learn to navigate the new rules of a friends-to-lovers relationship as well as a kinky one.
Another great sexy story. Going from friends to lovers while maintaining friendship is difficult but attainable. A read designed for a quick steamy session with one’s kindle. Jade and Garrrick lay a foundation for their submissive and dominant side while navigating her flight tendency. Hopefully we will experience a scene for their developing relationship in the series.
This was a short but very satisfying read. Well written characters and storyline develop quickly an a believable way.
Kinky and loving!
I loved Jade and Garrett and how their story had developed over years!! So hot!!!
Unzoned was a charming friends to lovers book and a feel good book, albeit not without some bumps in the road as Jade, under Garrick’s guidance and love, explores and embraces her submissiveness. An easy read in an afternoon it restores our faith in trust and love.
This was a very quick and delightful book. Neither Jade or Garrrick would admit to each other how they felt about each other. Friends for year and now Dom and submissive. Excellent book. Enjoy
