Unsurpassed is the story of Aubree Holiday and her desire for her two friends, Max and Ryan. They met at a kickboxing class and, despite her fantasy of a three way with the sculpted pair, she settles for their friendship. At least until an unforgettable weekend that makes her every fantasy come true. That’s your basic start to Charity Parkerson’s erotic novella that is so much more than erotica. Make no mistake, it is burning hot, but there’s a great story in between for those who like their erotica with a healthy dose of romance too. Her night with the friends is unforgettable and brings forth a few revelations that cause Aubree to reconsider exactly what she thought she wanted.

After a hot night with walking, talking fantasies Max and Ryan, Aubree has to deal with another uncomfortable feeling in the form of tall, well muscled MMA fighter Drew Alexander. From the moment they meet sparks fly, but not just sexy sparks. Life sparks. Love sparks. They are connected through people they’ve loved and lost and, despite her lust for her friends, the feelings Drew inspired were different. More profound. Their story blossomed into a beautiful one full of love and lust, heat and laughter. Charity Parkerson did a fantastic job creating a world of three bad ass dudes and the tiny woman who brought them all to their knees.

It would be easy to chalk this story up to basic erotica, and it is supremely hot, but it is so much more. The sex, the lovemaking — all of it —was on a deeper level than expected and improved my enjoyment of Unsurpassed. Now if I can just see that tattoo!
