Title: The Unicorn (Escape #2)
Author Name & Publisher: Delphine Dryden (Riptide Publishing)

Delia and Daniel have a picture-perfect life. They like their jobs. They love their house. Everything is coming up roses . . . but in private, they’d rather have the thorns. Their recent forays into kink have brought them closer than ever, but there’s still something missing, and they can’t quite work it out.
Mara knows what she’s missing: a significant other. She tried vanilla, and it was a total bust. But when she and her last girlfriend took things out of the kink club and into the “real” world, they fizzled. Even their friendship is on the rocks now. Mara feels like a lost stray, looking for a forever home.
When the three of them meet up at the brand-new club Escape, their connection is instant. And surprising—none of them were expecting more than a few hot nights. But now they might be ready to bring their kinky threesome into the light of day and build a life together.
This is a story about beginnings. Daniel and Delia are beginning to put kink into their marriage, Mara is beginning to despair of ever finding a relationship outside the club, Escape is beginning a new BDSM club in the city. There are a lot of beginnings here, and at the end of the book, we are left at the beginning of the next part of the relationship between the three characters. I liked the story. I liked how we got to find out how each person felt, and how each person hoped for the start of something new with the three of them. It’s hard to be satisfied with that though. The story ends on a note of hope, but I almost want more. It just seems like they all made themselves vulnerable, and I want to see that pay off.
I did like the scenes in the club. I liked how the author made Daniel a Dom without making him an arrogant ass. And the scenes were hot as well. Very good job all around. A delicious book.
