Shame. Prejudice. Fear.

All woven into the very fabric of my being. I'm swathed in them like the most suffocating cloak.

Beneath this toxic mantle, I wear my desires close to my heart.

Where it's dark.

Where they're safe.

If anyone can unstitch this cloak from me, thread by thread, and liberate me from it, it's this woman.

And this man.

Unstitch is the love story of Darcy, Max, and Dex. It is a standalone romance with a big HEA for the three of them. As with all the Alchemy series, our MCs may play with other people along the way, but there is no OW / OM drama.

FULL BLURB AND COVER TO COME.


Unstitch (Alchemy #5) Reviews


  • Christi (christireadsalot)

    3.5 stars. Unstitch is the 5th book in the Alchemy standalone series, and this one is a MMF romance for Dex, Max, and Darcy.

    This story jumps right into it. Darcy is back in London and becomes a dancer at Alchemy, the club her sister Gen (heroine of Unveil) is a co-founder of. She meets Max, a member of the club and her brother-in-law’s best friend. They immediately have connection, hit it off, and get together. Shortly after she meets Dex, he’s the brother to Belle (heroine of Unfurl) who is married to a co-founder of the club as well. Darcy is super taken with Dex and feels pulled to him too, but Dex has a lot of past religious stuff to work through.

    As with the whole series, there is tons of the characters playing with others along the way but not in an OW/OM drama kind of way. This book is provably my least favorite in the series, I just didn’t connect with these characters and sadly had a hard time with the story as a whole. It felt full steam ahead and I just wanted more character growth/connection instead. We do get some age gap in this group, Darcy is 25 and Max is 40. And it was fun seeing all the other characters from the series in this one. While not my personal fav, I can see plenty of readers having a good time with this read.

    I received an ARC from the author, all thoughts in this review are my own.

    CW (provided by author): discussion of religious beliefs and purity culture that does result in graphic depictions of bigotry, homophobia, transphobia and hate speech. One of the MMC has internalized homophobia as a result of their upbringing.

  • Olivia

    Alright listen up and listen good cause I have thoughts. I did really liked these three. I especially loved Max and Dex together, but here’s my problem with that:

    MMF is such a complicated dynamic to write because (especially when there’s bi/gay awakening) there’s always so much more angst between the guys than the girl. Which always makes the MM part of the MMF seem more meaningful. And I think this book fell victim to that. During Dex’s and Max’s POVs, whenever they thought about each other it was always a “I would move heaven and earth for this god who walks amongst men” vibe and when they thought of Darcy it was always a “she’s so pretty!” vibe. Even though I felt like the author would throw in a Darcy scene after Dex and Max got all sappy, it still seemed a little off balanced.

    As for the characters, Dex was definitely my favourite. He was really the only one who had shit to work through and was also really the only one who got a back story. Max was like really arrogant and aggressive which I guess was good for Dex and Darcy sometimes but like if someone did that to me I’d get really stressed out and I’d probably slap them. Darcy was fine, but again, fell victim to the MM(F) curse.

    Lastly, holy mother of god what is with the excessive adjectives and big ass fancy words. I do not know what half these words mean and I’m telling you right now they do not need to be here….’incisive’? ‘gauche outsider’? ‘inimitable’? ‘halcyon’? WHAT THE HELL?? Also, sooo many things I just didn’t want to grace my eyes with: “prime digestive real estate” NO. “Unplugged ourselves from each other’s bodies” WHAT. “Wet slurp” BROTHA EUGHHH.

    This was incredible. This is book 5 in her ‘Alchemy’ series and is such a beautiful and spicy MMF romance.

    The book first follows Darcy (25), a dancer who moves back to London from Australia to work at her sister’s s3x club ‘Alchemy’. She meets Max (40) who, like everyone, is entranced by Darcy’s moves and asks her to dance privately for him at his house, this begins what can only be described as the hottest nights of their sexual lives.

    We then meet Dex (30), who unfortunately grew up with a very strict Catholic father and therefore grew up to believe in homophobia.

    Dex meets Darcy at Alchemy and hit it off straight away, Max coerces Dex into a threesome with Darcy, where Dex starts to unravel his own sexual desires for both men and women.

    I loved this ARC read so much, it was so beautiful to see Dex’s story of becoming his true self and finding his worth and story.

    “Max’s arm rests just above mine along Darcy’s back, and it strikes me how anchoring his touch is. How right this symmetry feels—Darcy in the middle, resplendent in her finery, and us guys flanking her in almost identical tuxedos, all three of us radiant with happiness. The Rule of Three.”

    “I love you both so much I can’t tell you.“

    • Age gap (~15 years)
    • Possessive MMC, Shy MMC
    • Triple POV
    • Check Trigger Warnings (Homophobia from parents)

  • Jenn (The Book Refuge)

    This was a really beautiful MMF. I loved this poly romance so much! It was erotic, yes, but it was also emotional and about breaking down harmful mindsets and prejudices. 🥹 It made me so happy.

    Elodie Hart / Sara Madderson strikes again. I’m not shocked. I never doubted her skills in the slightest.

    We’ve briefly met these characters before in the Alchemy series. Darcy as the long distant younger sister of Gen, Max as the cog in Anton’s wheel to show Gen what she’s missing and Dex as Belle’s big brother.
    What I never expected was how these characters were undoubtedly made for each other. Elodie/Sara mentions this in her afterword as the best lightbulb moment she’s had, and I couldn’t agree more. It works so well.

    Alchemy continues to provide us with the spiciest world known to man, and I lapped it up like Dex licking champagne from Darcy. Between the exquisite description of Darcy’s dreamlike club dancing, Max’s dom approach and experiencing Dex’s firsts we have a concoction of perfect spice. There’s nowhere else you need to turn, so lay back with your new favourite Polyamorous trio and enjoy.

    Darcy is loveable and sweet. She balances out the intensity of Dex’s journey and brings a little laughter to the story. We still have some Maddie-isms and I continue to be obsessed. My only qualm is that Darcy has some internal questions about where she’s left and I’d have liked her to have some emotional care from the boys even if Dex was going through a major life change, her journey isn’t lessened given she’s entering a Polyamorous throuple. Max is always so good at the aftercare post 🌶️ I hoped for some emotional aftercare to check in with Darcy.
    Max is one serious guy, especially when it comes to his partners and needing them all-in with him, so it’s perfect that Darcy is the sweet strawberry to his tasty but firm meringue.
    There are moments where Max comes across as harsh and possibly forceful in his language (never physically), but I think we can all agree his words are exactly what Dex needs to push through. Again, it’s refreshing to have a Darcy-like character who can soften his blow (pun kind of intended) and the duo combined are the perfect tonic for Dex.

    Dex’s coming out journey is a hard pill to swallow. The acceptance of his own needs but knowledge he won’t have the same understanding from his father is heartbreaking, but groundbreaking to have it in written form for the world to see. It may be fictional on this occasion, but Elodie/Sara has shown the world that the family who matters will wrap their arms around you so tightly so that the outside noise doesn’t matter, that it isn’t our responsibility for the way others react to our needs and choices, and that the importance of own happiness far surpasses the limiting expectations others force upon us. I’d love to say f*ck Ben Scott, he deserves it. But he’s a character who will never unlearn the limitations and cruelty of his behaviour and for that it’s his loss.

    I took this book slightly slower than usual because if I’ve learned anything about the Alchemy series, it’s that my heart is fully imbedded within this loveable, dreamy family and I never want it to end. Erase my mind and let me read it again and again and again. 100/10 recommend it to friends the globe over and back again.

    Yaaaaass Elodie, you smashed it out Hyde Park 🙌🏻

    ⛓️‍💥⛓️‍💥 ARC REVIEW ⛓️‍💥⛓️‍💥
    100% unbiased review (I’ve reviewed the other books in the series if you feel like looking them up (: )

    Spoiler but not an actual spoiler…… this is my favorite book in the series hands down.

    God this feels so extra special to me, to have been given an ARC. Every release I have been there downloading at midnight to dive into the world of each couple.

    If there is one thing I love when it comes to tropes or storylines it’s giving a big middle finger to purity cultures and religion. I was never raised religious or with any archaic disgusting values. I was given the life to lead wherever I wanted, I was able to think for myself, I never had to question anything or be questioned. Which is a life I think people deserve. When you are frolicking through with no religious “guidance” you quite frankly really don’t give a shit what anybody chooses to do with their life.

    I’ve been dying for Dex to get his own book. I’ve got to keep this spoiler free but after a week or so of the book being released I’ll probably toss in my favorite quotes or moments!

    This book is powerful and delicious and filthy. Dex is powerful. Darcy is powerful. And MY GOD MAX. Max max max freaking MAX. I was surprised to see he was stealing the show half the time! They all stole the show really, but Max commands the room. I genuinely don’t think I’ve read a couple that has ever fit so perfectly together? Not once did I feel like someone was left out even during these grand intimate moments that belong to two in particular. It was beautiful from beginning to end. I just want to hug Dex, and most definitely switch places with Darcy?

    I had to stop at many points and giggle or slap my
    hand over my mouth for what I was reading. The shower, the office, I mean basically everything??? AH.

    I love the relationship that the entire Alchemy family has. That support would make you feel like you can take on the world. The ending with Belle at the dinner table when she mentions Alchemy. That made me so happy UGH.

    This was the perfect combination of steamy & beautifully motivating. A story of not two lovers but three who have to work together to overcome hurdles to figure out how they can be in a place to love one another.

    Max is so freaking perfect. I loved everything about him. Don’t tell anyone but he’s my fave 🤭💦 Darcy was so damn fun & spunky & the perfect piece to glue the trio together. Dex was such a sweetie boy turned dirty slut & I’m v proud of him.

    Even though this book was fillllllled to the brim with spice, there were some moments that had my heart full from the motivating words spoke between Max & Dex. The moments between those two were my favorite & you could truly feel the love & chemistry.

    Tropes:
    MMF
    Age gap
    Sex club vibes
    Possessive alpha hole

  • ALittleBrittofFun

    I liked these three but I also got bored of them/their story pretty quick. At this point the books are somewhat repetitive and I’m not sure we should have ventured past the core group of 4. That said I’ll be reading these remaining two books because at this point I’m fully invested.

  • Samantha Ramsay

    This ARC 🥹❤️
    I had my original review done on in may and forgot to update it to my full one !

    I absolutely love this whole series with my whole heart and this ARC was no different . Darcy (Gens sister) moves to London to work at Alchemy as a dancer . Max (who Gen has had previous encounter with) happened to be at the club watching her dance . He was so infatuated with her moves - just like everyone who watched her dance - that he propositioned her to do a private dance at his home . A night of dancing turned into one of the steamiest nights . The schmexual chemistry between them was UNREAL !

    Then we have Dex (Belles Brother) who grew up in an extremely religious household and had different beliefs on sexuality .. who Darcy met at the club and feels chemistry with after talking , tells Max about her encounter and puts the threesome card on the table .

    What happens when Max approaches Dex about a threesome with Darcy ? How will he react ?

    The feelings I experienced from this book was unreal - especially where Dex finds himself . Watching him go through the emotions of dealing what he wants vs what was engrained into him from childhood was an emotional roller coaster . This book was so smokin hot , a cold shower couldn’t cool me down ! If you enjoy MMF , age gap , BDSM , and poly romance .. do yourself a favor and read this one ! 🤍

    Alchemy comes full circle — with so much love!

    I’ve loved Sara Madderson’s Alchemy series (written under her pen name Elodie Hart) since it began with Belle and Rafe in Unfurl. And the circle comes back to its beginnings in book five, UNSTITCH.

    All the original Alchemy (that very dirty sex club that we Elodie Hart fans pant heavily over) owners have found love, so it feels right to come back to characters we’ve heard about, but mostly not met — Belle’s brother Dex, Gen’s sister Darcy, and bad boy Max, who was also lasciviously featured in Gen’s book.

    Elodie/Sara is a gifted writer, who has a way of tackling big topics with such poise, grace, and dexterity, I find myself nodding my head, pumping my fist, and crossing my legs, all at once! In UNSTITCH, she takes on religion, queer love, and multiple partners so beautifully, it seems effortless (though I’m sure it wasn’t).

    Yes, it’s a queer MMF throupling this time… and it’s bloody awesome!

    I love that all of her characters have such distinct personalities and voices, they flaunt the ‘normative’ and give us such huge entertainment, they’re a delight to read.

    UNSTITCH is such a wonderful book (and super explicitly detailed if you ‘get’ me) and I can’t wait to read it again (already)!

  • Jen Carambula

    I thought a lot about this review mostly because I don’t know how to put into words what I feel. Let’s start by saying that I was terrified to read it Hahahha. I have a HUGE negation towards books with more than two people in the relationship, if I see a book is going to be RH or any other type that has more than two people in it I just don’t pick it up. So when Sara (Elodie)let us know the fifth day instalment of the Alchemy series was going to be a MMF I was 😫😫😫😫😫 but my trust in Sara is greater than any of my previous doubts so I knew I was going to give it a chance. AND OF COURSE SHE DELIVERED!!!
    The amount of times I was over emotional over Dex is insane 😭😭😭 his journey of accepting himself was so beautiful to read that I couldn’t help but feel like he was someone I want in my life and hug him and reassure him that everything will be alright in the end. Oh but he has a lot of people around him that support him and I love the Alchemy family so, so much. Each and every single character in this series is so dear to me.
    And here I was thinking that Max was going to be a typical alpha hole only focused on his needs but then he was the king of pep talks and such a supportive partner, and even when he didn’t have the patience to wait for Dex he wasn’t mean at all, and that’s exactly what Dex needed.
    I have to be honest here and say that at some point I thought that maybe Darcy wasn’t needed and was only there as a catalyst for Max and Dex to get together but I WAS SO WRONG!! Darcy might be the catalyst but she’s also the glue that keeps them together, the perfect sweet partner between two guys that are kings on their professional lives and then they come home to her and are the sweetest guys.
    I was so moved by this entire story and I enjoyed every single page, even when Dex’s dad was there because I loved how Dex and Belle finally stand up to him. (Praying for him to end up alone with his misery and only his beloved God as company)
    There’s so many moments I lived in this book that I couldn’t list them all but I think that reading Dex’s journey was the best thing ever.
    Oh and the spice was ���🥵🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
    Seriously, if you haven’t read this series what are you doing with your life? It has it all!! Well fleshed characters that are amazing, a found family that will always be there for each other, love stories that are deep and emotional but sweet AF at the same time and incredible spice!! What else can one hope for????
    But seriously, kudos to Sara/Elodie for such an incredible story that can be deep and sweet while being this hot. Can’t wait for the next one!!

  • Tils Cole

    All I can say is wow!! Holy smokes this book certainly was a beautiful spicy treat!! Elodie has only gone and done it agin with another incredible book!!! The book follows Darcy, Max & Dex. Dex meets Darcy at Alchemy and hit it off straight away, Max coerces Dex into a threesome with Darcy, where Dex starts to unravel his own sexual desires for both men and women. From Dex having such a troubled past made it quite emotional to read; it was so nice to see Dex's story of becoming his true self and finding his worth and story .Elodie is such an incredible writer!! I love that all of her characters have such distinct personalities. All her books flow so good and get me so hooked that much that I find it impossible to put the book down. "You're perfect as you are. Your needs, your choices. You have a beautiful heart, and everyone who has you in their life is better for it. And if they don't accept you for who you are, they don't deserve to be in your life."- this quote was the highlight of 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 fifth book to this series. I can’t wait to read what Elodie writes next. Thank you Elodie for the ARC copy of the book.

    This 5th installment of Elodie Hart’s Alchemy series sees a bit of a departure from the previous 4 books . . . this time there is an MMF relationship at the center of the story. MMC1, Dex, was introduced in the 1st book, & I was intrigued by his very existence just because he was Belle’s brother & I wanted to see how he handled their overly-religious father’s attitude. Funnily enough, Dex starts out almost as buttoned-up as his father, just without the trappings of religion. But it’s because Dex is hiding things from the world & even from himself. MMC2 is Max Hunter, whom we met in Unveil & were given a glimpse at this sexy playboy who truly enjoys an active sex life. Darcy, the MMF, was also introduced to us as she’s the sister of one of the Alchemy founders. But now she’s back in London & dancing at the posh London sex club & looking to have some fun along the way. And boy does she find it! If you enjoy lots & lots of steam between a man & a woman, you’ll find it here. If you also like some steamy scenes between 2 men, you’ll find that here, too. And if you love super-steamy scenes involving 2 men & 1 woman . . . this book will make you very happy! And if you like just a little bit of angst but lots of support & encouragement from a cast of wonderful characters that you just know you’d have so much fun hanging out with, then Unstitch is absolutely for you!! And if you prefer sweet, wholesome, Hallmark-level of romance & no foul language . . . you might want to give this one a miss. No judgment either way. Unstitch is book 5 of an interconnected series & can definitely be read alone, but fair warning — you’ll want to go back & read the others when you’re done!

    ARC Review

    5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

    This is the 5th book in the Alchemy series, I didn’t think I could top my feelings after Cal and Aida’s story in Untether but Elodie pulled it out of the bag with Unstitch.

    I admit I was slightly apprehensive going into this book as this was my first time reading a MMF and MM trope, I should have known I could easily hand my first over to Elodie to provide an absolute banger and have me hot, squirming and wanting more.

    The storyline follows Max, Darcy and Dex. Max is the sexy dominant (and well known to Gen 😉, Darcy is Gen’s baby sister who can certainly hold her own and is as sexy as hell. Dex is Belle’s brother and I’m officially in love with him, it was so incredible powerful to follow his journey discovering and accepting his bi sexuality.

    Max although the dominant had a heart of gold, he totally won me over in the end. When I read this it summed him up ❤️
    “I’m a selfish man. I take and I push, without thought or remorse, but he makes me want to be selfless, because in this moment I neither want to take or push him. I simply want to free him”

    If you’re a die hard fan of the Alchemy series you are going to adore this book, if you haven’t read any of them i highly recommend Unstitch but recommend you start with Unveil first, you won’t regret it.

  • Cokiereads

    Whew. Elodie, is it just getting hotter with each book?

    Max has been warned. Stay away from Darcy, who's now dancing at Alchemy and Gen's (FMC of the previous book), little sis. Darcy has been warned, too. But neither listen to Gen.

    Both are free spirits in a way. And they're getting a long great. But then Darcy meets Belles (FMC of book 1), brother Dex. And is instantly smitten. He is as well. But when he finds out she's in a relationship, he shuts down. But Darcy doesn't forget him. And in fact shows him to Max.

    What starts out as simple (well, to Darcy and Max) becomes very complicated for Dex. He's got a complicated relationship with his parents and with himself. But Dex truly finds himself.

    It's very spicy, so if that's not your thing then...

    Received as an ARC in return for my honest review.

    🖤 Polyamory- MMF
    🖤 Age gap
    🖤 Sex club setting
    🖤 Bi awakening
    🖤 Multiple POV

    I don’t know where to start…..honestly I think this was my favourite of the Alchemy series so far. Elodie’s ability to tell a story that has you kicking your feet with happiness one minute and then feeling the turmoil of life for her characters the next is unmatched.

    I adored Dex, Max and Darcy together, their dynamic worked so well and once they’d figured things out it was so rewarding to see their partnership blossom. Darcy had me in stitches at times, she’s just what I love in an FMC, independent and not afraid to ask for what she wants. The balance between Max’s assertiveness and Dex’s shy nature was really nicely done too, it was the perfect balance.

    Now just to wait for Natalie and Adam to tell their story, it’s going to be good, I can already tell!

  • Chelsea K.

    I got an arc of this book and was not disappointed.
    I have loved every one of the books in this series and love this one just as much. I wasn't sure what to expect because she hadn't written a queer/poly relationship before. I'm always nervous to read about a queer relationship written by a straight person but this was done really well. She really did her research and due diligence in being authentic to the characters and their experiences. This book is incredibly spicy but like all the Elodie Hart books has serious themes like purity culture, homophobia, and religious trauma and she handles them really well. I implore you to read and fall in love with Max, Dex, and Darcy just like I did.

  • Melissa

    Wow! This story is aa beautiful as it is steamy. It is truly Dex's journey to accepting himself and living his true life. Max and Darcy are the perfect compliment to him creating a safe place for Dex. Each book in the Alchemy series gets better than the last!

  • Jenny

    Ok, this author has taken something g people may look at and say, “this is a threesome book, so it’s going to be salacious!” But, reader, this is SO. MUCH. MORE.

    I do not want to get into too much detail, but this book is thoughtful, sensitive, beautiful and gives you so much to think about. It’s a little different and does touch on religious themes.

    Before I finish this review, think about the idea of the power of three. We see that repeatedly throughout literature, society, religion and it’s often a power theme, with 3 equal parts joined together to create that mystical power, this story made me think about that idea.

    Elodie Hart has outdone herself with this book. I can’t wait to see what’s next!

    5 stars, please do not miss this one!

  • Nancy

    Unstitch is a fantastic book about three people finding each other and coming to love each other. It's set in the glamorous atmosphere of London, like the rest of the Alchemy series. Oh yeah, it's hotter than the other books, too! Nuclear hot!

    Max and Dex both work in high finance and are very successful, but have very different personalities. Max is bossy and confident. Dex is sweet and more gentle. Darcy rounds out their threesome. She's a dancer at Alchemy and is fun, sweet and full of sunshine. None of them have been interested in a relationship until they meet each other. Max especially has always been all about fun and variety. That all changes when he meets Darcy, then they bring Dex into the fold. Dex comes from a very conservative family and Darcy and Max help him see that he needs to be true to himself and not worry about following the rules he grew up believing were the way to live by.
    This is a lovely, romantic love story, that just happens to be very, very steamy. Read it with a fan on you! I absolutely loved it!

    Unstitch..

    Firstly what a dam. Privilege to receive a arc from @elodiehartauthor, then to have it sexy as all hell and an absolute 5star read.

    I have always loved the alchemy series.
    I have a hard time always trying to decide my favorite between belle and Maddie books, they have had sooooo many re-reads 🤤.

    Now elodie gives me max bam from beginning I fell hard and still falling, he is a dominant sexy alpha male with all his BDE flowing around him. I absolutely love his character, I love Darcy just as much wickedly sexy and so into putting herself first 😍 and I adored dex, his journey was more into self discovery and learning to fight for himself and what he wants.

    Dex is belle brother so has the same religious beliefs growing up what is right and wrong, Darcy is Gen sister so she is liberated and gives off such good vibes, while max is unapologetically a really sexy older man, who wants to take care of everyone.. Daddy max indeed💦

    This journey for them into love, found family and discovering what they all require for themselves as much as each other is fantastic. I loved this book so so much.

    Sex Club / MMF / Bi-Awakening / HEA

    Alchemy Series Book Five. Darcy has returned to London for her sister Gen’s wedding and gets a job as a dancer at Alchemy, a sex club. Darcy has been told to stay away from Max at all cost, and Gen has also cautioned Max. Max sees her dance and offers Darcy $20,000 to come to his place and give him a private dance. Dex has returned from America to take a position at a London banking firm and is reunited with his family. Dex meets Darcy at a gathering and they have instant attraction but she’s now seeing Max. She tells Max about Dex and suggests a threesome which Max is all in for. This bi-awakening story was masterfully written and it felt so empowering. I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review and I really enjoyed it and the positive message it conveyed.

  • Ashley Minghini

    I was lucky to receive this book as an ARC! I was waiting for this book and it did not disappoint! It was soooo good! I loved the story of Dex coming into his own and how Max and Darcy were there beside him along the way! And the love they all have for each other, just amazing! Love these characters so much!! I don’t want to write to much and give it away! It was also so nice to see what was going on with other characters from previous books!
