Great review!! I couldn't stop reading the sample. Ginger and Tom are fun and exciting to follow through the story. Stella is quite conniving and can't wait to find out what she truly is up to. The explicit scenes were such a tease but just right. Again, thank you for your honest, colorful and detailed review.

Thanks for your review - forewarned is forearmed! I don't enjoy erotic literature so I will be skipping this novel.

I don't think this book will be for me. I'm not one for reading about women getting raped or unlikable characters. I think I'm going to pass on this one.

Though I don't like the romance, I find the plot interesting enough. It sounds like a very dark and twisty kind of book. Not really eager to read it but I would give this a chance. I would very much like to know what happened to the characters, and if there's a certain character development involved in the story.

I like that the novel is an interesting erotic novel with good pacing and engaging. The description that it is thrilling and adventurous is also a bonus. I look forward to reading it. Thanks for the review.

Not really interested in this genre and the tangled web of relationships. Just reading the summary of it all was overwhelming for me. But the review gives a really good summary and synopsis of what the book is about and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Great review!

This book seems too sexual for me. Thanks for the honesty about the adult content and it's nature.

I agree with one reader. I'm okay with eroticism but this is too dark for me. In any case, the premise was interesting and compelling enough by your summarization. But not for me. Anyway, thanks for the review of this book. It gives me inputs on what this story is about though I don't think I'd be reading it.

Well, the review did intrigue me. The book is probably too dark for me. So, as a rom-com reader, I probably won't be reading this book.

Congratulations on being the BOTD!

It is an erotically brilliant story. however, when Tom and Ginger became Friends? it became a jargon for me.

I do enjoy a good erotica occasionally, but this one just wasn't one I could get interested in. I more prefer passion and romance than the scenarios offered here.

From what I gathered from the small amount I did sample of the book, and from your review, Bound is well written for those who enjoy the type of erotica this book has to offer.

But wouldn't the world be a boring place if we were all the same. 😌

I'm not really looking for this sort of read right now--at least, not in the bondage area--but as it does have a complex plot, I will keep it in mind for when I am looking for such a book. I'm afraid that bisexuality will not be properly represented, but the only real way to find that out is if I try it for myself. Thank you for the helpful review.

Good review. Sounds like a well developed plot but not really my kind of book. I prefer more of a romance or murder mystery.
