Unrequited by Melody Grace
Beachwood Bay #3.5/ The Callahans #1
You can be anyone for a night…
Alicia isn’t the kind of girl to kiss a total stranger up against the wall — no matter how devastatingly sexy he is. But reeling from a broken heart, she runs straight into the arms of Dex Callahan: rock star, bad boy, and the most seductive man she’s ever known.
Dex is looking for distraction, at any price. The innocent redhead is just what he needs to keep his demons at bay — but one taste of her sweetness isn’t enough. He needs to possess her, body and soul.
Two searching hearts. One night to discover the passion of a lifetime. Dex is determined to show Alicia the pleasure she’s been denied, but can she let go of her heartache and take a risk on the unknown? Find out in the sizzling new novella from USA Today bestselling author, Melody Grace!

Unrequited is technically book number 3.5 in the Beachwood Bay series by Melody Grace, but it is also the first book/novella in The Callahan’s. There are two books in the Callahan’s series and I think they fit in between books 3 and 4 of the Beachwood Bay series. Either way, I thought this was a whole new series which is why I started with this book. Oopsies on my part. But this quick and steamy interlude between Alicia and Dex left me wanting more more more of them and everyone in the series. I can’t wait to go back and grab Untouched. I have a couple of the novellas from the beachwood bay series but I don’t have the first two full length novels. I need to fix that immediately, because I am loving Melody Grace’s writing and characters.
This was a quick read at right around 100 pages, you can finish it in no time. But it is not lacking in character development. We get to see insight into both Alicia and Dex’s pasts and start to see the stems of their issues and insecurities. I have no idea if this guy Alicia is hung up over is someone else from the series or just some random guy, but he clearly did a number on her. And I am dying to know more about Dex’s past.
I can’t wait to see more of these two. They have chemistry off the charts. Their story is continued in the next book- Uninhibited. I have a copy of that one and I think that I will read that before getting to Untouched. Just because I have to know what is going to happen with them. But then I promise, I will read the rest of the series in order. Sometimes these spin off series where a book pulls double duty in two series throws me off my reading order, but in this case it just made me want to read all of the books!
I can see that Melody Grace will easily be a go to romance author for me. She has an easy writing style that will be just perfect to fall into when I am looking for a good contemporary. For people that like long series, the Beachwood Bay series is perfect for you. There are 5 books so far and more are coming out! Am I the only one that read this one out of order?

I am glad you didn’t feel too lost with having started this in the middle. It sounds like it was a great steamy little read though. Glad you really liked it.

no trouble at all. But now I don’t know whether I want to read #4 next bc its a continuation of Dex and Alicias story or start at 1 and read them all in order. Decisions, Decisions.
