Unleashed

The promise of a steamy night unravels into a saucy debate about the nature of sexuality, consent, and power dynamics in this exciting but unrealistic story from Crews (The Disgraced Playboy). Margot Cavendish thinks she’s just in Iceland to study sex and feminism, and she’s been trying to interview the owner of Iceland’s most famous sex hotel for weeks. When she finally meets the mesmerizing Thor Ragnarsson, however, he proposes a much more interesting form of study: field research, with him, in bed. What follows is an unforgettable night of intellectual debate and sexual experimentation that challenges Margot’s hyperintellectual worldview and shakes her to her core. Thor’s tendency toward proselytizing in the bedroom is more patronizing than sexy, and Margot’s lack of understanding of her own body is hard to believe for someone who formally studies sex. However, these flaws are what draw them to each other and lead to endless, mutually entertaining debate. This is a fun and racy story for fans of unlikely couples and arguments filled with sexual tension. (Oct.)
