The suspense that has built up over the first two short novels finally gets a conclusion but it's not who you expect the stalker to be. Cari has finally had enough of someone disrupting her life and wants it back. Jasper, just as brooding as ever wants to keep her safe. It's a strong end to the series that gives you the answers you have been dying for!

A finish that was worth the wait in this series. The suspense will have you by the throat. Cari might have drama but someone has her back. Jasper provides the heat. You are also given so long waited for answers to some mysteries as you finish in this tale. You actually want to fly through this one to get it all.

Suspense, action, and one hell of a romance. Not for the faint of heart!

I was given a copy of this book from the publisher for an honest review.

This is the third book in the Uninhibited Series. You will need to read the first two before you read this one. It's a continuation serial. In this episode, if you will, there's a dead body; a fight; some sex; and who done it. Ha! Contain your excitement people. We'll get to it all! It is a short story for goodness sake's.

After Cari is questioned in the death of a murder investigation, Jasper decides to take her somewhere private where no one should be able to find them. No one but who they want to find them that is. In this secret location will be the test of all tests.

How much do you care / love someone definitely shows when their life is on the line. When the adrenaline runs out though it might be a different story. Decisions on if this romance bubble can make it outside this stalker frenzy is the biggest question of all.

Of course the author just lays it all out there for you on a platter. It's a great ending to this series. I think, if you haven't started it, you should. Definitely a quickie series to enjoy.

Wow. The final installment in this three-part novella series was just as entertaining and tempting as it's previous two parts.

I thought Undone was a little less steamy and a little more suspenseful than the previous chapters. Cari’s stalker seems hellbent on frightening her and on her life. Moment to moment was thrilling and exciting.

Thank you goodness she has Jasper to distract her with all of his naughty goodness. He is one hell of a bodyguard.

Overall, I thought this was an excellent conclusion to all of the drama and I really enjoyed this series. Now that all three parts are out I highly recommend grabbing them all and settling in you'll definitely enjoy this treat!

The Unihibited serial by Lauren Hawkeye was a story right up my alley. It included a heroine with an interesting job, a dangerous mystery and a big, dominant bodyguard sent to keep her safe.

It seems like each of the three installments in this serial actually equate to a complete novella, not a full-length novel. I read all three of these, back-to-back, in one afternoon. Each installment is pretty short, but definitely packed with lots of action and steam. When they're all put together, you have an exciting and sexy story with a brave heroine and a no-nonsense bodyguard who definitely knows what he likes.

In the beginning of the story, we learn that Cari Dunn is an archaeologist with a reality show that has taken her into the deep south. Her dig site has been contested by local Native American groups and a local business man. When threatening messages start showing up at Cari's hotel, her producer hires her a bodyguard until the culprit is found.

You can tell that Cari is feeling a little disenfranchised with her job. I got the impression that she loves archaeology and history first - the TV show is just a means to an end. She's very independent and is a little tired of being ruled by her network. When her bodyguard turns out to be a big, handsome man who she has an incredible, instantaneous connection with, Cari thinks that maybe she can blow off some steam with him.

Jasper is a bit of an enigma. At first he seems unaffected by Cari. He's all business - all about her safety. But then things change pretty suddenly between them, and we see what Jasper is like underneath his serious exterior. What he likes in the bedroom seems to complement Cari's personality, so their chemistry is super hot, and their times together are even hotter. Especially when you add in a colleague of Jasper's sent in for backup.

While Jasper and Cari's chemistry can't be denied, it was a little harder for me to grasp true affection for each other. There was absolutely lust and then trust and respect for each other's abilities. But, I didn't *quite* believe that there was romantic feelings there. Perhaps if there were more pages to establish affection and depth, it would feel better to me. Because I believe they could get there - there just wasn't quite enough time for it here.

All together, the Uninhibited serial was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Picks up where the first one left and quite saucy and racey in parts but I love the characters in the book, Jasper is amazing.

It’s over. It CAN’T be over. I need more of this couple. I need more Jasper and Cari. Hell, I need more Jackson, too. With or without Jasper and Cari. I just fell in love with this serial. There is a lot more action and not much sex in the final part. We finally get to know who has been stalking Cari and why. I kinda figured it out but it wasn’t until the final climax that it all came together for me. It made sense and I really liked how Ms. Hawkeye never ONCE even hinted at who it was. I kept thinking that it was the sexist pig but in the end, I was wrong.

I’m glad that I took a chance with this serial. I found that even though I had all the parts at one time, I really liked it. In fact, I’ve re-read it already. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story just because it’s a serial. I loved the suspense element that ran through the book. Jasper and Cari are a great couple and Jackson, my Jackson. I will just say that I need more of him, like NOW!

This is the third book and conclusion to this short series. This series should be read in order; I felt it could have been combined into one story. I felt this story was a little rushed but the sexy time was not. I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters; I found it no big surprise as to who the stalker was but I was not reading this series for that reason. The sexy times in this book are hot, hot, hot!

Undone is the conclusion to Cari and Jasper's story. The question of who has been stalking Cari is finally answered. I had already figured out who it was, but I like the reveal and the action scene between Jasper and Cari's harasser. Jasper is a certified badass and that's no more obvious than here in the conclusion. Cari annoyed me a little though, because she did the typical TSTL thing that you always yell at people in scary and action movies for doing. She didn't do what Jasper said, and because of that, she interfered and almost got herself killed. Ugh.

The sex scene at the end, though, against the tree?! H O T!!!!

I've really enjoyed this series, sad it's ending. I think I could have even given Undone a 5 star if there had been an epilogue. The ending was a bit vague and open ended for my tastes. But, it did lead me to think that perhaps Jackson may get his own story. I'd read it in a heartbeat!

Perfect conclusion to this short and sexy series! I highly recommend this series to anyone who is looking for something steamy with a bit of intrigue!

Undone is the last of the Uninhibited trilogy by Lauren Hawkeye. It’s kind of a bummer that it’s over because I was really getting into the story. I’m not usually a fan of these short, cliffy-ridden, serials, but this one ended up being really good! I’m betting it will all be one short story soon enough. (still too short!)

I’m a big Lauren hawkeye fan, so I was reading this no matter what. When we last left Cari and Jasper, they had just had some 3-way fun with Jackson. But were called back to town when their favorite developer, Daly, had been found beaten in her very trashed room.

The story picks up right from there, and they have to deal with the sheriff. They also get a bit of information from Daly. (This was where I figured out who the bad person was, and no...I’m not telling!) From here, I’m going to stop, there’s luckily more lovely interaction between Cari and Jasper, as well as a delightfully action-packed finish in which we find out whom our psycho stalker is. Such fun! 5 Whole stars of it!

**Disclaimer: You must read the previous titles, Untamed and Unbound, of this trilogy prior to this one as the storyline flows through all three, as does the relationship between Jasper and Cari.**

After a magical night with Jasper and Jackson, Cari is rudely thrust back into reality when she learns what happened in her motel room while they were in Atlanta.

However, as neither the sheriff, nor Jasper and Cari know who's behind everything, Jasper is being extra vigilant in regards to Cari's safety, determined to do whatever he must to protect her. Though they do learn one fact, it's someone that's decided Cari is either his...or no one's.

Who's stalking Cari? How far will they go? Can Jasper ensure her survival? What happens to Jasper and Cari's newfound relationship when she no longer requires a bodyguard? Will they admit their growing feelings for one another? Or will both move on, headed for their next assignments?

One-click now and follow along as Jasper and Cari finally solve the mystery of her stalker and decide whether or not to explore what's grown between them.

Again, on a purely personal note, as stated in my review of book two, Unbound, I wish this was either strictly regarding Jasper and Cari as a couple or, as they had a threesome with Jackson, a committed menage, however, neither are the case and that bothers me. I can't help but think about when Jackson finds his one, and then she'll forever have to see Cari, having her as a part of her and Jackson's life, knowing she's been with him intimately. That's unnecessary. Also, I really wish there has been an actual HEA, instead of only the implication of one.

Stalker revealed and it was a surprise.
I enjoyed this series very much but would have liked a little longer ending.
Yes, it was hot, sexy and satisfying, the characters fit together with perfection and the story suspenseful.
But more detail would have been appreciated.
Over all this series will grip your imagination and have you coming back for more.

Things get really interesting the next morning in Atlanta for Cari after her night with Jackson and Jasper. When she's called to the Principal's office, called the Sherriff, what happened? Why is she called in for questioning? What is the Sherriff informed of that causes him to choke on his drink? It was funny watchingthe Sherriff's reaction to Jasper's comment. When Cari leaves the Sheriff's office angrier than all get out and practically seeing red, what does Jasper say to her that gets her to start to think in another direction? When Daly calls asking to see Cari, what information does he give to Jasper and Cari when she shows up? It put some ideas into my head as to who is behind everything happening, but at less than half way through the book, I cannot be sure. It was fun to see what happens at the end. It was intense and a very tense moment. I loved it.

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan.

This author definitely knows how to pack a lot into these short stories. Amazing characters with and amazing plot. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Amount of sex 3.5 / 5
How explicit 3.5 / 5
Story 4 / 5
Overall: 4 / 5

Undone is the third and final book in the Uninhibited series by author Lauren Hawkeye. This is not a standalone, so you need to read Untamed and Unbound first.

This story begins right where we were left off. Cari and Jasper are in the Meadow Ridge, GA police station being questioned about an incident in her hotel room. She continues to be threatened and things begin to escalate. Can Jasper keep Cari safe?

An exciting conclusion to this steamy and suspenseful story!

Loved it!

Undone is the final part of Lauren Hawkeye’s Uninhibited serial. It was also the part that I liked the best. Given that this is the conclusion of the serial, kink is not so much the focus (though there is certainly some hot sex scenes) but rather, wrapping up the mystery of who is threatening Cari.

Part 2 ends with Cari and Jasper receiving word that Daley – the developer who is objecting to her dig – was found beaten up in her hotel room – which has also been trashed. The clock is running out as it is now apparent that the threat to Cari is far more serious than even she suspected. Jasper can keep her safe – but how long before the stalker after her finds them? And when he does and the job is over, what does that mean for Cari and Jasper?

Cari and Jasper work together to take down the villain (who was whom I suspected). Some of this part felt rushed and I wish we had more development of Cari and Jasper’s relationship that was outside the bedroom. Nonetheless, the conclusion of this sexy serial is definitely a thrilling ride, with danger looming and some seriously hot sex scenes.

4 stars
