Alchemy #3
Unveil
Gen
I’ve made my fortune from liberation, but I’m far more comfortable with discretion.
I’ve built the pre-eminent sex club in London, but I don’t play there.
Not publicly, anyway. Not beyond its darkest corners.
I talk the talk, but I don’t walk the walk. Not like my male co-founders do.
Because I’m the immaculate one. The flawless, perfectly turned-out woman who’s cultivated her glacial facade so carefully she’s scared the slightest smear will ruin it.
I want to run a sex empire and be taken seriously in the old boys� club that is the business world. I want to be the poster child, not the plaything.
So I stay polished. Tasteful. Beyond reproach.
Until Anton Wolff joins Alchemy. He’s the UK’s most charismatic billionaire, and he’s looking for a club that’s as discreet as it is debauched. As classy as it is carnal.
I think I’ve seen it all, until he shares what he desires from his Alchemy experience.
And what he desires, above all else, is me.
The pull is mutual.
The tension is unbearable.
And the risk that he unveils me, seduces me into abandoning any vestige of control, is very, very, real.
I think I’m afraid of the Big, Bad Wolff.

Unveil is book 3 in the Alchemy series that centers around a sex club in London. This series has been such a delight to dive into and so much fun!
Gen runs the club, Alchemy, with her 3 best friends (2 of them have had their own books already). And while Gen has an utterly fulfilling sex life within the club, she’s had a lackluster time of outside of the club with her dating life. Around the same time she’s due to interview a new prospective member, billionaire Anton Wolff. Anton sets his sights on Gen from the start and I loved seeing him he the pursuer and convince her to give them a try. While dominant in most things, Anton is also just super nurturing and as Gen describes him “a cuddly teddy bear�.
This was a quick read! It’s easy to just devour the books in this series and I loved Anton & Gen’s chemistry. I liked how all-in Anton was, he is so fully immersed and passionate about all aspects of his life, including Gen. Their romance is more slow burn, but we get tons of spicy times before that! While the books in this series have all ended in monogamous HEAs, we get plenty of group activities times before. Along with group activities, this book includes voyeurism, exhibitionism, domination, submission, and some bondage. We also get an age gap (she’s 36, he’s 52) and trips to the South of France together to scout possible pop-up club options! This also perfectly setup the next book/couple.
Thanks so much to the author for an ARC, all thoughts in this review are my own. Unveil is out August 25, 2023.

I devoured this book. Gen and Anton have incredible chemistry from the get go. The way the grow to trust each other is amazing (the scene in his work room OMG) and then when they get to France it’s genuinely beautiful (and very sexy)
I have never seen an opening chapter to a character so shocking like Anton’s as I had no idea where it was going to go (loved it though). The sex scenes were so well written - and very hot 🥵
I also have enjoyed the found family of the group and how they all support each other through it. Maddy’s and Gen’s friendship was so lovely to read. The HEA made me emotional as I was so invested in their story.
Elodie is an incredible writer and I would recommend all of her books.
P.S The teaser for Cal’s book - I’m very excited!

This Wolff will forever be wild at Hart
Another sophisticated, smart, sexy, and swoony book by Sara Madderson, writing as Elodie Hart!
I was fortunate to read an advance review copy of book three in the Alchemy series. This author never disappoints. She always finds fresh and inventive ways to add even more spice (The scene in the office� shivers) to her books, while somehow making her characters, who are fabulously rich, also very human (his apology).
Anton may be a wolf in both boardroom and bedroom, but he is also caring and treats Genevieve like the treasure she is. Gen is a woman with the patrician looks of a porcelain doll (but with a backbone of steel), who needs her equal to understand and unveil her true desires. Only a Wolff in a bespoke suit is up to the task.
Every time I read a new book by this author, she somehow manages to surprise me. The women especially, show such growth and gentle strength. I don’t know how she does it. She transmutes words into book gold. The alchemy is real!

Can i just say🔥🌶️🔥🌶️🔥🌶️🔥🌶️🔥🌶️� Keep the ice water handy and do NOT read around you kids!😳
Elodie Hart upped the spiced level again for this installment of the Alchemy series. Pay attention to the content warning. There is a reason it is there and Elodie does a good job giving content warnings without spoiling the story.
"We've both been fragmenting ourselves. Keeping our true needs veiled while we show a version of ourselves to the world in different ways."
Who doesn't relate to keeping a part of themselves hidden from people in general or specific? Unveiled takes us on Gen's journey helped along by Aton. We are there as she discovers how to be a more authentic version of herself. We also get to watch Anton learn things about himself, even though he doesn't think he needs to. What I love about Elodie Hart's books is all of the heart along with the heat. Another fantastic edition to the Alchemy series.

I have been obsessed with the Alchemy series. In the 3rd installment, Unveil, I finally realized why. Elodie Hart writes the most eloquent smut I have ever read. I realize that seems like a contradiction in terms.
The writing style is unique for this genre in that the vocabulary and cultural references assume the reader is educated and well-traveled. I had to highlight a few words for the definition on my Kindle, but I found that made the story even more interesting.
The smut is 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶. Anton is intense, but that BDE is what Gen finds so attractive. They allow each other to fully be their authentic selves.
Anton speaking to Gen:
"I don’t just want what you’ve already given me. I want that part of you that you seem to think you have to keep hidden beneath all those layers of decorum."
I highly recommend Unveil and the entire Alchemy series.

Ця серія тягнеться за мною ще з минулого року.
І коли я починаю книгу з цієї серії, я думаю блін це фантастично чому я не дочитала тоді.
💎Скажу ще 3 книга з серії, і вона отримує 5, як і попередні.💎
Пара: Женев'єва & Антон
Ви подивіться на ці неймовірні тропи🥹:
� Мільярдер
� Разниця у віці (16 років)
� Sex club
� Reformed fuckboy
� Він вогонь, вона лід
� Вуайєризм
� Big D*ck Energy
Джен - 36 років, одна з генеральних операційних директорів клубу Алхімія, тобто займається відбором кандидатів на членство в цьому клубі.
Джен або ж знаходить хлопця з яким добре в житті, а не в ліжку, або ж навпаки, немає якоїсь золотої середини.
Вона вдає з себе серйозну, впевнену жінку, яка знає чого хоче.
Антон - 52 роки, ( я була шокована трохи, але бляха цей чоловік, ще просто рушійна сила, неймовірний). Теж не може знайти якусь золоту середину, в нього за плечима вже 3 шлюби, та є діти.
Він мільярдер, та володіє компанією Серафім. І так що це за компанія, вона надає помічників, які супер мега розумні, мають купу дипломів, і вміють доставляти задоволення чоловікам, яким вони слугують. (В другому розділі я вже офігіла, у Антона є така помічниця Афіна, і авторка виспускає спін-офф саме про компанію Серафім, сказати що я заінтригована, нічого не сказати).
Чому ж Антону не щастило, бо він має свої особливості в сексі.
Він подає на членство в Алхімію, і на співбесіді зустрічає Джен.
У них була просто неймовірна хімія, це було настільки офігезно.
Антон - мій краш. Бо він тупо давив на Джен звісно в хорошому сенсі, просто така від нього була енергія впевненості.
Коли він назвав їй свої особивості, Джен піймала відголосок в середені себе.
Они одразу один одному сподобались, але те як Антон добивався Джен, було щось з чимось.🤌
Ділюсь маленьким діалогом, їх перої зустрічі. Сказати що це пожежа, то нічого не сказати.🔥
Це було максимально гаряче та напружено.
Звісно я продовжую серію.❤️�

"- Моє сексуальне життя не твоє діло. Те що я тут роблю - не твоє діло. І з ким я це роблю теж.
- Ну це просто смішно, тому що ти саме та жінка яку я сподівався знайти. І я знаю як добре нам буде разом. Я би трахнув тебе на тому пуфіку, щоб всі побачили яка ти в біса гарна, коли віддаєш контроль. Або ж ми б могли зайти в цю кімнату, але не помиляйся, я б затягнут тебе на це ліжко, я би був чорт забирай невблаганний, поки тебе не розтрощив на частини, знову та знову.
- Містере Вольф, Алфімія з радістю пропонує вам членство, але це останній раз коли ти зможеш до мене доторкнутись. Ти не зможеш доторкнутись до мене коли наші візити будуть співпадати, зрозуміло?
- Хм.. ти можеш себе цим тішити, Женев'єва. Але я звик отримувати те що я хочу. І я хочу тебе."
Це було максимально гаряче та напружено.
Звісно я продовжую серію.❤️�

Oh. My. God. I loved the first two Alchemy books and this one was no different. I honestly wasn’t sure how much I’d like Gen but I absolutely looooved her character development shown throughout the book, and I completely understand her ice queen persona she puts on. Anton was the absolute perfect partner for her and, as Gen said, the right mix of alphahole and teddy bear. Their relationship development was great to see.
And of course, as always with these books, the spice was spiiiiicy🔥🔥🔥
Cal’s book was set up perfectly and I cannot wait to read about the woman who finally makes him settle down. I also looooved that sneaky little Darcy tid bit and am cautiously optimistic the Alchemy family will continue on after Cal’s book.
**extra special thank you to Eloide/Sara and her team for the eARC I received in exchange for an honest review**

Every time I think this series can’t get hotter� IT SURPRISES ME!!
Usually extra spicy books have the spice just for the sake of it, but each book in the Alchemy Series has a depth that always gets to me right to my very core. In this book Gen and Anton have a dynamic that had me on the verge of calling 911 because is it hot in here or am I having a heath stroke, in the middle of winter?
And once again I felt represented with the FMC because Gen really wants to own her sexuality but she’s been raised to be all proper and enter Anton with his shameless personality and sex appeal. But then he’s not only a mindless f** boy but he is so into every part of her and he is so committed to her from the moment he sees her for the first time� I NEED AN ANTON ASAP (yes, I know that I say this about pretty much every mmc Sara/Elodie writes but this only speaks about how great MMCs they are)
Gen is the perfect ice Queen until she isn’t and Anton it’s the perfect match with all his fire. And I love fire and ice with my entire heart. And every one of this books, once I finished them, I can’t stop thinking about them and I think that’s a really good parameter of how amazing a book is.

If you thought the first two books in the Alchemy series were scorching hot, prepare an ice bath in which to immerse yourself while reading book #3! In Unveil we’ve once again been invited to a peek into the decadent lifestyle of rich and beautiful people in and out of the exclusive sex club, Alchemy.
This time we’re witness to Genevieve as she wrestles with her attraction and desire to submit to billionaire Anton Wolff while maintaining dominance in her personal life. Anton has burned through three marriages, unable to find someone to match his intelligence as well as his kinky needs. Until Genevieve. All this Big Bad Wolff has to do is convince her they’re soulmates.
Elodie Hart/Sara Madderson’s writing is wonderful and Oh my goodness she commands a sex scene like a true Dom.

Unveil is book three in the Alchemy series. Though it can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA, readers starting with book one will have the advantage of knowing how the kink club, Alchemy, has been evolving. This is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.
Gen (36) is the only female owner of the four owners of Alchemy. She has been friends with Zach, Rafe, and Cal since they were at university. She is well put together, fierce, incredibly intelligent, and witty along with her beauty. She has struggled with finding a man who can stimulate her both in the relationship arena with intelligent conversation and can meet her needs in the bedroom. Anton (52) is a billionaire who has divorced three times but stays on good terms with his exes. He is powerful, charismatic, and has a presence that can overwhelm a room. He is the epitome of BDE in all its glory. He goes after what he wants in life and in business. He has a voracious appetite for power, success, and physical satisfaction. One of the things I adored was how much depth the author credits to Anton. He is such a big character. He has so many layers of love, passion, vulnerability, and loyalty. Gen is also fully developed and dealing with insecurities and vulnerabilities and fears as she falls hard for the powerful man who becomes her everything. I adored how these two characters grow together and embrace a life neither thought they could have with a partner that can meet all their needs in the most perfect ways.
Since Alchemy is a club that caters to kink, readers should expect this book to be hot and they will not be disappointed. This book can melt your panties right off. Settle in because you will not want to be interrupted once you immerse yourself in this world.
I am seriously loving this series. I feel like I know the characters more than in a typical club book. The friendship between the group and the acceptance they share is something we should all have in our lives.
The author lists some content warnings that readers should be aware of in case they are sensitive to those issues.
CW:
Unveil is set in a s3x club, and you will find the following on the page:
Group activities, spit-roasting, voyeurism, exhibitionism, prostitution, domination and submission, bondage, toys. While they both have sex with other people before they are a couple., once they actually get together there are no OW/OM dramas. Unveil has a monogamous HEA.
I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book.

Move over, E.L. James, Elodie Hart is in town and she brings the steam! Unveil is the third in her Alchemy series and on a one to ten scale of all things hot, it’s about a twenty-three. Or maybe a forty-six. Anton is all alpha, a slightly older hero who is richer than Croesus. He has no problem throwing his money and influence around to get what he wants. But Gen is no shrinking violet, and when he sets his sights on her, he has his work cut out for him. Gen and Anton will make you sweat—for a variety of reasons! If you’re into erotica, do not miss this book or this series. You’ll be glad you did.

Amazing story for Gen. Anton was exactly what was needed for this book. I was not sure at the start just how perfect Anton would be, but the author takes you on a clever journey that gives all the elements that make him worthy to win Gen - I adored how much of a contrast he could show without being contrary. Gen is the strong woman we have seen in the previous books, she knows what she wants and needs from a partner, but she has never found it in one person. In the group she has been the serious, almost cold, COO but her friends see straight away what Anton could be for her and that he might just be what Gen has been looking for. The dynamic between the group remains a highlight, the support, acceptance, and loyalty comes through so strongly. I enjoyed seeing how Gen, Maddy and Belle had bonded. Gen's story is perfectly captured in the title 'unveil', the chemistry between Anton and Gen, the push and pull, the softness and gentleness is all balanced beautifully. A great addition to the series!

OK, enough already!! There is WAY too much sex and it is simply reruns of most other sex scenes in this book and in Hart's previous books. I think I've said this before, sex scenes to further a plot line is good, sex scenes simply to use up space is boring.
The plot was interesting, Gen and Anton made a good pair, however I do have another issue. In all of Hart's books I've read, the male character "claims" the female character as his own, tells her how to conduct herself in sexual encounters (to which she replies "Yes, sir"). This is not arousing nor is it anywhere near respectful to Hart's female characters, who she writes as smart, educated, socially accomplished, and supposedly in charge of their individual lives.
Please, give us plot and character development. Give us one or two detailed sexual encounters and then leave the rest to our imaginations.

I read this book in under 24 hours because I was literally actually addicted. Gen and Anton are my new favorite couple of this series. Gen is a boss ass bitch who takes no shit and even though Anton is cut-throat in his business life, he is a total teddy bear for Gen.
The spice is absolutely mind blowing, it is written so well, and so thoroughly, it's just....whew 🥵 I love that we get little updates of Rafe and Belle, and Zach and Maddy, too.
This book has a ton of spice, but I really don't feel like the plot suffered for it. I still feel like there was a really great story that just happened to be incredibly sexy. Elodie Hart KNOWS how to write, and she'll suck you into this story from the first page!

Wonderful to be back in the Alchemy universe. Elodie Hard has managed to develop two amazing main characters with so much energy, charisma, magnetism, and spark. They jump off the page and demand you learn more about them. This is not a chore!
Awesome to see little Easter eggs from the Sara Madderson world too, and hints at further books in the Alchemy series. Super glad it might not end with Cal!
Thanks to the author for an early copy.

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved book 3 of the Alchemy series & Gen & Anton as a couple however I did feel the book was rushed (things didn’t start happening until later in the book & I felt it was rushed through). I wanted to get to know Gen & Anton’s back story a little bit more (unless that’s coming in the extended epilogue 👀)
I do love the fact that #3 has been the spiciest & im sure #4 & hopefully #5 will be even spicier. 🌶️�

Another amazing book by Ms Elodie Hart. She has a way with words and her story lines are fabulous. Here’s hoping for another story from Alchemy!!!

Go into this book knowing it’s very steamy!
Gen gets her HEA with Anton, a 52 year old thrice divorced man. There is a mutual attraction between the two and Gen isn’t having it at first. Anton is beyond confident and craves control in the bedroom (or wherever…if you know what I mean) and his Big ___ energy is too much for Gen at first.
It was great to get a little background on Gen in this book. The found family aspect is enjoyable and the growth of Alchemy is a really cool way to grow the group.

All I can say is wow!! Holy smokes this book certainly was a spicy treat!! Elodie has only gone and done it agin with another incredible book!!! Gen and Anton are such a spicy couple. The trust and fire they have from the start definetly got me hooked on the book that much I had to read it in one go!! Unveil has a monogamous HEA which made the book a little emotional at times but really helped build the book too. I personally loved the little feature of Belle and Maddy (the main characters in the past two books of the series) it really added a special touch to the book. The fire and spice in this book was on a whole different level and did definitely not disappoint!! I highly recommend this book if you are after a good spicy book that you don’t want to put down once you have started it!!! I personally loved the third book to this series. I can’t wait to read what Elodie writes next. Thank you Elodie for the ARC copy of the book.

Ohgod I am so sad that this book wasn’t it for me!!! Like why?!! It didn’t do it for me like the other two, goddamnit. For the love of god please somebody explain it to me. THIS BOOK NEEDED TO BE EVERYTHING?! Because really like come on it’s GEN we talking about, I loved her from the start, when she got mentioned in book one I was freaking excited for her book. WHAT HAPPEND?!
The book just missed something. Guys I am really hoping I am the problem, that it is me?! I am going to try the re-read the book one day and see maybe if it will be better and just as good as the first two😭😭😭 I am way sadder then it should, but hello that makes totally senses 🥲
I definitely feel like this🫠🫠🫠
There was a lot lacking for me and WHY did it took me so long to finish🤦🏾♀�
I am so sad and I am not feeling good AT ALL!

4.5⭐️ HOLYYY SHIT this was insanely good! omfg!!!!
First of all I LOVE the age of the characters - she’s 36 and he’s 52 which means they’re both so mature and sophisticated. This whole book was so smutty but at the same time tasteful and sophisticated - I’m seriously in love with Gen and Anton! Their romance made so much sense, they both found sth with each other that no one else could have given them❤️

Can I just say, I love how old most of these characters are. Anton is 52 years old. All 4 club owners are 36-37. Only Belle and Maddy are in their early to mid twenties.
I love that we're not dealing with babies.
This book feels vastly different from the first two. There's a lot more focus on the business side of things than on the relationship between the two main characters - at least for the first half of the book. We're sitting in on a lot of business meetings and there's a lot of contracts etc--but it means that the 2 main characters get a chance to see each other outside of the sex club or the private bedroom. We're well into the book before they ever interact with each other sexually.
And even then, it's a while before they're alone, giving each other physical pleasure. Mostly because Gen refuses to allow Anton to touch her. The way he obeys that request, even though he's desperate for even for the lightest graze of her arm was such a brilliant detail. The way he uses his staff to give her pleasure while he dictates was also hot as hell.
In fact, I think Anton is perhaps my favorite of the MMCs thus far. The way he gives Gen all of the power. At every point, he allows her to make the decisions about whether or not to accept him, what he offers, or whether or not she wishes to be pleasured. As much as he vies for control and domination and wants a woman to beg for him--he's extremely mature in the way he hands that control over to the woman he really wants to be with.
Their dynamic is by far my favorite of the group so far. The fact that Anton is so persistent, but not in a creepy way was a great match to how stubborn Gen was. And when they finally do give up the weird standoffishness (or rather, when Gen finally gives in), it's almost glorious. It doesn't happen until well after the halfway point of the book, for starters, so there's PLENTY of time for the romance and tension to build while these two people actually get to know each other. It's not merely a fuck-fest from cover to cover.
THIS IS HOW I LIKE MY EROTICA. Give me smut, yes. But also give me substance. Make the people feel real, give them flaws and goals and nuanced personalities.
I don't know if it's just their dynamic or if it's because they're both older and hugely powerful in their day to day lives or what. But it did it for me.
It's evident now that this series is expanding way beyond the scope of the 4 owners of Alchemy that feel like the "originals". We're meeting a bunch of new people who are going to become characters for future books that will ultimately have nothing to do with the original 4.
I'm not mad at this, however it made the overall world feel bigger. Not only are we meeting new folks, we're expanding the club into other cities around the world.
This change in the Alchemy world is also reflected in the structure of the writing I think. And this is where it sometimes threw me off.
For instance, there's more than double the chapters of the previous 2 books. They're also way shorter than before and sometimes, I think they break in odd places. Like they'll swap off in the middle of a scene--and not because we're changing POV, just... Well I don't honestly know. There was more than once where the chapter break felt jarring and took me out of whatever was going on at the time. I don't why Hart felt the need to start doing this. The shorter chapters were easier to digest for sure, but I wish she wouldn't have broken up a single scene into 5 or 6 short chapters--sometimes even cutting conversations in half.
The change in the story structure is really my only complaint with this book if I'm honest. I don't know how Cal's story is going to top this one. 4.5 stars.

”I’ve wasted half a century without you. I can show you sides of myself that everyone else I’ve ever been close to has judged and rejected, and, amazingly, you accept them.�
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶�/5
You may need a hydration IV after this one!! Unveil absolutely hits the mark for a spicy & unrelenting third Alchemy book.
Genevieve (Gen) is Alchemy’s COO & sole female co-owner and she prides herself on always being put together and in control. She has a great dating life and a fiery sex life, the only problem is that those two parts of her life don’t intersect. She’s not interested in being a man’s conquest and is very discernable with her men. That’s until she meets the big bad wolf - Anton Wolff - and he’s here to play.
Anton Wolff is powerful, rapacious, a bit depraved and Alchemy’s newest member. When he sets his eyes on Gen, he knows he has to have her. Together they start an exquisite game of chicken, enjoying other partners (sometimes in front of each other), all while hoping to make the other cede to their desires. The genuine chemistry between these two was palpable from the word go and every spicy scene of the book was a 5-alarm fire! The very first Anton chapters start off with a 🌶️� bang, so be prepared for the wild ride Elodie Hart serves on a platter in this third book! There isn’t a ton of plot but there is certainly enough spice to keep anyone captivated.
A HEADS UP : although Unveil has graphic group sharing scenes, the pair is strictly monogamous once they become a couple and they do have a HEA.

The third book in Elodie Hart's Alchemy series does not disappoint (assuming you love the first two!) and is another 'no door' book!
Unveil is the story of Genevieve, one of the owners of Alchemy, a sex club in London, UK, and Anton, a billionaire business man who becomes a member of the club.
From the moment they meet, they are attracted to each other and Anton is ready to pursue it, but Genevieve is far more hesitant. She knows that if she pursues this attraction, that'll be it for her and is scared that Anton will "use her and lose her" (my words, not Elodie's!). Over time, they get to know each other and finally "come" together (hehehehehe see what I did there?).
Elodie continues to write books that celebrate sexual pleasure, that don't kink-shame, are grounded in consent and safety, and are celebratory.
I also really like how each of the books so far have explored different kinks, but also, critically, different character motivations and vulnerabilities. Yes, these books have a lot of sex, but they also have character development and growth.
I continue to recommend this series to many people and slowly, they are starting to read them and love them - yay!!
I'm excited for the fourth book in the series (Cal and Aida) and also am hopeful that another book set in this universe will be coming our way if I correctly picked up on a hint at the end...
Thanks to Elodie Hart for an eARC of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a wild ride, I need an iv drip and a bucket of ice to revive me from this one omg! A time was had, a great fucking time!! It’s so hot and debased, this had me blushing 20 pages in lmao; this series is just so unpredictable, and smutty, but in the best way possible. This is definitely up there with Unfurl in terms of how shocked this had me haha; like the seven chapters of group activities that nearly left me for dead 😂
Anton is intense, but a man who knows what he wants, and that is Gen. He was so determined to see her break, from the ice queen persona she has and he was so obsessed and feral for her, it was a lot of fun, but omg they went on such a roundabout way of getting together lmao. The group scenes were in-fucking-tense, it was seven chapters long and I’m never ever going to fucking recover from it! 🫠🥵
Side note, the 28 year age gap between Anton and his EA, Athena, at the start of the book; she was defo old enough to be his daughter, but hey ho, it made for incendiary hot scenes. I’m excited for Athena’s book, though!
