Sawyer
Weston is cocky and arrogant. With his sinful smile and sexy dimples, he’s
gotten his way most of his life. Infamous for his one-night stands and moves
between the sheets, the lead singer for Bastards and Dangerous has never

With her
curvy body, sarcastic mouth, and uncanny ability to put Sawyer in his place,
Amelia Greyson has captured his heart. She can see into his soul and knows what
he truly wants from life. Sawyer has a problem, though—she’s dating his twin
brother Noah.
Although he
wants her with every breath he takes, Sawyer and Noah’s complicated history
prevents him from making a move on her.
Just an Illusion—Unplugged tells Sawyer’s story. Every
thought, every feeling, are yours for the taking. Are you ready?

✯✯5 Sawyer Filled Stars!!!✯✯
Holy smokes! Dee Kelly had me hooked lime and sinker from the very first page from the very first book of this incredible series. Since then I’ve been Team Sawyer 110%. But, after reading this my % of how much I’m team Sawyer went up double. I didn’t think that could happen. But, Dee pulled it off.
I’m usually not one for reading a series and picking up the next book that’s told in the POV of somebody else. But, this one was so much better then I ever could’ve imagined. We get the major storyline from Sawyer POV and we also get things we never knew even happened.
We all know that both Sawyer and Noah had both fallen and been played by that evil women Marilyn. But, we get it from Sawyer and my hatred for her escalated higher then I thought possible.
I’m not going to give you a play by play. Even if you read the previous books you might be thinking I’m not missing anything. Well, YOU ARE!! What you’re thinking. I dunno. How about a Sawyer and Belle BFF thing going on. All joking aside their relationship and all their exchanges were my all time FAVORITE parts of this story.
We know Sawyer and Noah are twins and the rest of the band they all see themselves as family. But, you really feel it reading thru Sawyer’s eyes.
Noah. Oh Noah. He’s been under my skin since book one. I always felt he was rushing things with Mel and wanted things his way. Yes, that’s still the same. But, we see a different side to him. The side his brother, his twin, his other half saw him. How he was scared to loose her. How he was scared to loose Sawyer because of him and Mel. Sawyer refused to loose his brother bc of a girl. He needed his brother. But, Sawyer also needed Mel in his life in order to survive. Sawyer would rather have her as a friend if he couldn’t have her the way Noah did, then risk loosing her at all.
Dee wrote this book beautifully. She gave you a full book from Sawyer POV without retelling the entire story over again. No, you got few key pieces again just differently and an entirely new story as well. I’m promising you the wait was so completely worth it!! I know the next parts gunna be more of the harder emotional part. But, I’ll have my tissues on standby and I’m all ready for it!

Excerpt
My stomach is queasy. Between the blood, alcohol consumption, and general stress of the day, I’m wiped. As soon as Dr. Martin leaves, I take the seat next to Mel and hold her hand.
“Hey, Princess, you lucked out tonight. Mac is good at his job, but never in a million years did I imagine we’d need him to take care of something like this. That man deserves a raise, a vacation to a tropical land, a new house, car, whatever he wants. Nothing in the world is more precious than having you and Noah safe and here with us.”
She looks so peaceful; you’d never know she’s been to hell and back tonight. As I look at her, my mind floods with memories from the last few months. It’s crazy to think she’s only been in our lives for four months. I’m pretty sure I fell in love with her the second she called me a dick. Fire flared in her eyes, but her cheeks blushed the perfect shade of pink. My cock was instantly hard. She was the perfect blend of feisty and humble.
Later that night, when she walked into my bathroom, it seemed like the fates had aligned and brought her to me. I was a goner the second her lips crashed against mine. And when she turned me down, fuck … I felt like an addict being denied his high.
That was the beginning of the end for me. I couldn’t shake the way her lips tasted against mine, or how her body heated with my touch. All night long, her sultry moans reverberated through my body. I’d only had a small taste of her, but I wanted more— so much more.
“Noah,” she mutters, still sleeping.
Noah. It all comes back to him. Noah was enraptured by her. That was something new; I’d never seen him like that before. As much as it pained me to do so, I stepped back for him. Little did I know how intense my feelings for her would become and how large of a wedge she was going to drive between the two of us. I thought I’d been doing good the past few weeks. Just like any addiction, I was beating it. Until Sara held that gun to her head. I realized then I’ve been fooling myself. I love her more now than ever before.
“Noah,” she calls out again, a bit more coherent this time. His name on her lips is just the reminder I need to set me straight. It’s like Wyatt said, she made her choice. No matter how much it hurts, she picked him, and I’m going to respect that. I just need to figure out how.
