Tour + Review and Giveaway: Unbound by Kimberly Derting


37858474Unbound by Kimberly Derting

Do opposites really attract?

Emerson Monroe McLean is a true Texan through and through. But she's never wanted to be like the other girls she grew up with, the ones who view debutante balls and sororities as stepping-stones to landing the perfect husband.

Yet everyone underestimates Em. When they look at the leggy blonde, all they see is a serial-dater who leaves a string of broken hearts in her wake. What people don’t realize is that keeping guys at arms length is more than just about having a good time; it’s a deep-rooted defense mechanism. 

Lucas Harper is California born and bred. The product of his wealthy upbringing and an overbearing mother, Lucas has always been told where to be and when to be there. But after his older brother’s death, Lucas is tired of being a puppet.

Taking a break to figure out what he wants out of life, he moves to West Beach to spend the summer surfing. It’s there that he meets Emerson McLean, the free-spirited beauty who lures him into her bed. Refusing to be tied down, she’s unlike any girl he’s ever known.

Can they find common ground...or will their differences tear them apart?

Their chemistry is undeniable. There’s only one hitch: Lucas already has a fiancĂ©e. And when she lands on his doorstep, Emerson realizes that for the first time in her life, she has genuine feelings for a guy.

With her heart on the line, Emerson discovers that, win or lose, she isn’t the kind of girl to play by the rules.

Review:
4 stars

Unbound by Kimberly Derting is the second book in the Men of West Beach series, and although it is a sequel, it can be read as a stand-alone. I have only read Unbound in this series, but after finishing this book, it has definitely made me want to go back and read the first book in the series. This is a book that you could get completely enraptured in with the well-written, likable characters, and the plot.

I loved both Emerson and Lucas, and I thought the chemistry between them was real and believable. It was interesting to see their relationship and how it changed and grew in this novel. It was a great contemporary romance with the characters already in a relationship at the beginning of the novel. I was very satisfied with how the story progressed, and how the book ended.

I would highly recommend this novel if you are a fan of contemporary romance. It was absolutely amazing, and I look forward to getting my hands on Undressed, and other novels by Kimberly Derting.
