Great addition to the Series

Review from Tru →

This was a really well written story and it was an interesting twist that the background conflict wasn’t coming from rival MC members this time but from a regular, though crazy, citizen. The whole fake boyfriend/fake wedding date is a a trope I enjoy and though this one only skirted it, I still found it..

Great Story With Harsh Narration

Review from Tex →

So this narration was a bit of a chore for me, he sounded like he was trying a little too hard to sound rough, and some of it came off as elderly which didn’t fit with the characters. I know 70 year old men who don’t sound this strained and run down. I wish Tex..

One Man’s Coming-Out Story

Review from Unraveling →

Rick R Reed’s ‘Unraveling’ richly describes an emotional journey for Randy Kay, a gay man living as straight. His internal struggle with his decision to come out is powerfully chronicled. I’m certainly not denigrating Reed’s obvious talent, but the internal monologues of all the principal characters became a bit too cyclical and repetitive for me…

WOW! What a Story!

Review from Unraveling →

What a very powerful story. This story will is actually 2 stories in one that sort of circle around each other and then slowly meld into one. There isn’t any way to really talk about it without giving something important away. I will say it’s not hearts and flowers, it is a harsh reality, but..

Brillant

Review from Unraveling →

This audiobook was beautifully brought to life by David Allen Vargo with the inclusion of music and sounds from the ’80s. Mr. Reed’s brillant writing allowed me to understand the feelings and emotions of what a gay man who was married and a a father experienced by acknowledging his sexual orientation. The time setting of..
