Unbind

Alchemy, Book 6

By: Elodie Hart

Narrated by: Will M. Watt, Kylie Stewart

Adam Wright may be a self-made billionaire, but he's also a beast.

Most children grow up hating a storybook villain. Based on the injuries that man inflicted on my brother, I grew up hating a real one. When he sort of kidnaps me and drags me back to his fairytale mansion, it feels like yet another cliché antihero stunt.

Here's the thing, though. Most villains don't weep real tears when they see you having a diabetic episode. They don't abandon their billion-pound empire so they can roll up their sleeves and pull your company back from the brink of bankruptcy. They don't put you first, care for you, at every single opportunity, dammit. Not in the storybooks I've read, anyway.

My body succumbs first. It doesn't stand a chance. It's game over from the moment I wake to find him sleeping next to me, the Empire State Building tenting his pants.

I despise myself. I shouldn't want him. Not when I know the despicable acts he's capable of. But when my heart starts to succumb, that's when I know I'm really in trouble. Because what if the villain I've loved to hate all these years is really my hero? And if indeed he is, how on earth will I persuade my brother of that?

Unbind is an age gap, enemies-to-lovers, billionaire romance that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the Alchemy series. It has no third-act breakup, a big HEA, and a whole host of other tropes, too: sex club, reformed felon, forbidden love, "we shouldn't be doing this," Beauty and the Beast vibes, brother's worst enemy, caregiving, twitchy palm, redemption arc, and a festive finish.

Another steamy installment of Alchemy 💗

Loved reading this book the first time, and enjoyed it just as much if not more real listening on audio. Kylie and Will always bring the alchemy characters to life, and the steamy scenes as well as the romantic moments are top notch!

Devouring this Series

I love this series and can’t get enough! Ms. Hart writes amazing spicy books with fully developed characters and engaging plots. This entry doesn’t disappoint. The narrators are my absolute favorite and I will listen to anything Will narrates. His voice and delivery are amazing. If there are awards for narrating books, he should be in the running!

Good read!

Loves narrators, story great, will read others in collection! As well as by this author

Beautiful Story of Forgiveness & Redemption

I’ve read the whole Alchemy series, and recently have been going through the audio versions of these books, ending with Unbind. First, I have to say this is an amazing series and the audio versions are next level! Give me Kylie Stewart and especially Will M Watt as a narrator any day and I’m a happy old lady.
Unbind features Adam and Natalie in an enemies to lovers story. As a teen, Adam did something horrific to Natalie’s brother. He has been secretly atoning for what he did, while creating a business and life of wealth. Natalie has a business she is trying to build and has a second job, working at Alchemy as a way to supplement her income and help support her business venture. Adam is looking to invest in the Alchemy joint venture, and when he walks in with one of the Alchemy owners and her husband, Natalie recognizes Adam and becomes upset. He has no idea who she is but thinks she is beautiful. Gen, the owner, sends her home when she learns that Adam is the person that hurt Natalie’s brother. Gen sets up a meeting to give Natalie the opportunity to give her input into Adam taking over Alchemy’s joint venture. She is a Type 1 diabetic and she is so anxious she doesn’t eat before the meeting and has a hypo episode. Adam recognizes what is happening and does everything to get her sugar levels back.
There is so much to this enemies-to-lovers book, but the angst and romance are off the charts. The whole series is great and this audio book is one of the best!
Elodie Hart does her research into all aspects of her books and this one is no different. She totally understands Natalie’s disease, and all aspects of this book, which makes her such a credible author.

So Much to Love!

I don’t even know where to start with this book, I loved it so much! Unbind has the ultimate comfort/care trope and I couldn’t get enough. I thought I was supposed to dislike Adam, but his care for Natalie from the very beginning made me love him so much! Not only are Adam and Natalie a beautiful couple, but they are individually powerful and worthy of true love. This book has a lot of intricate knots that need to be unraveled, and Elodie Hart made beautiful work of that task. Although this is part of a series, Unbind can absolutely be read as a standalone.
Will Watt performs his role as Adam Wright with deep emotion and fiery passion! He's excellent!
