Unleashed is a sweet, fun, and flirty return to my Music of the Soul writing style. My romances especially my paranormal romances have been getting pretty serious and dark and I though I'd lighten things up with this light hearted series that is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and fall in love with the characters.
Plus the Unleashed series breaks from my one book love stories and I have decided to make this a long burn budding romance that matures throughout the series before the flickering fire bursts into a raging inferno.

There are two messages behind this book is that some people can find the most unorthodox ways of communicating that are more effective than simply using words. That goes doubly so for emotions.
