This is Episode Five, the final Episode in the Timber Towers Series.

My Review


4 Terrific Stars!

First of all I'd like to thank Marni Mann because this serial has made me more likely to pick up more serials, like I always try avoid them and feel like they aren't for me. I was so wrong!

“He gave me what I needed...he gave me everything I needed.”

This is the last part in the five part series and oh what a journey it has been.It all came down to this final conclusion where we have everything laid open and how every piece made sense.I'm sad to see it end, I'd have loved more to it. Okay I have to say I was kind of hoping that the ending would have some of hint at babies! Little baby Derek or Frankie and I guess I wanted to see them playing the roles of parents to finish off the serial.

You see character development as the parts go on, you see them change and grow.Even their relationship becomes more open and without all the secrecy there is a growth of trust and love.This serial has been a rough, hopeful, forbidden yet dirty hot and raw. They have surpassed all these roadblocks and finally made it.

I can't wait to read more from Marni Mann because I'm hoping it can only get better ;)

Synopsis

Confessing their truth may not be enough.
But can their intense passion sustain them?
This is Episode Four of the five-episode Timber Towers novella series.

My Review

4 Stars!!

This is episode 4 of the five part serial by Marni Mann and well I have to say this woman really knows how to keep you hooked into the book. I just wanted to quickly rush into the next one and see what happens next. The episodes are always left at a cliffhanger f sorts which really gets you excited for the next part, awesome thing is that they don't disappoint!

In this part you delve deeper in the characters and their pasts. It was like each part was slowly revealing a part f the puzzle, a part of a whole that is to all come together in the end. Frankie and Derek are two strong willed driven characters that have a lot to lose if they become vulnerable. They both have been keeping their past a secret and when it all comes out will they be able to continue or will it shatter everything?

Each part consisted of growth in the relationship between the main characters, a forbidden relationship they shouldn't be perusing yet it all becomes too much and feelings over ride all the fears. It all comes together with one hot bang ;)

4 Stars!!

Damnnnn! How could it just end there? Why do you do this to me? I need the next book asap!!!...like now would be awesome ;)

I'm so glad I didn't skip this novella series due to them being short, which is what I would have done usually but ahh this one makes me want to give more of them a chance.I'm excited to see how this 5 part serial will continue and what more will happen.

Unblocked- Episode Two starts where episode One ended and gets straight in.I have to say this one I enjoyed a lot more than the first part and I hope they just keep getting better with each episode.The chemistry between Frankie and Derek is just raw gritty and so bloody HOT! I can not wait for more.It ends at such a part that made me want to scream since I need to know what happens nowwww!

Marni Mann...hurry ;)

My Review

3.5 Stars!

This is part one of a five part novella series. Let me start off by saying I very rarely read novella series because of the length. I just prefer it to be one long book instead of it having all the part and the time I have to wait for the next one can get annoying at times especially when they end on cliffhangers.

“I noticed the hunger in his eyes, how they watched me as though he wanted to seize and devour me.”

Frankie has worked hard to get to where she is today, she is a top selling real estate agent and works for her father company. Sooner or later the company will be handed down to her and she needs to prove to him that she is capable and can handle it. A big opportunity arrives which could help her prove her capability when Derek Block comes onto the scene.

“I had a rule that I’d never broken: I didn’t sleep with anyone I worked with.”

Derek Block is a very successful architect and he is looking for the best real state agent. In the interview Frankie and Derek immediately hit it off. Lust at first sight? Derek has a rule though, one he will try not to break. I want to see how their relationship changes or grows.


I enjoyed this one I'm intrigued and I want to carry on and see how things turn out.I want to know so much more about Derek! His past and what is truly going on with him and his sister and others involved. There are so many missing pieces that I'm curious to find out about which I am looking forward to reading.

I thought this would be a lot of steam and not enough story which on the novella series I have read, that's what I have ended up reading and it annoys me, so this was great since it had a sort of balance. I didn't feel like the story side of it was lacking which I'm thrilled about.I felt like the dreams part wasn't really needed and I kind of felt like Derek's description was a bit weird. He is described as having the whole rugged, rough look but instead of it coming across as hot rugged look, it comes across as a not so appealing look? I don't really know how to explain it. Maybe it was just me?

Bring on Episode 2 ;)

Release Day Blitz: Unblocked - Episode One (Timber Towers #1) By Marni Mann


Unblocked, Episode One Blurb:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt:
“Why don’t you come in?”
I was startled again by the sound of him, of his deep, alluring tone. I didn’t realize I was still hovering in the doorway. Closing most of the gap between us, I moved to one of the chairs.
I hooked my bag onto the back of it, his fingers slicing through the air as they reached for mine.
“Call me Derek.” He enclosed my hand with a pressing strength that I assumed was lightened for my benefit.
Though his stare remained on my face, I wasn’t able to keep mine on his. I needed a break, a second to get myself under control.
Control…
I had obviously lost that, though I didn’t understand why. Polished men were all I knew, all I had ever been attracted to: groomed and well-dressed, pretty and sharp, even cocky and somewhat selfish. They were certainly never burly or animalistic like Derek. So why was he having this kind of physical effect on me?
