Review copy provided for an honest review
I’ll be upfront and say I rarely read books that deal with a BDSM theme anymore, but when Ms.
Kaye began this series I decided to give it a whirl and I’m so glad I did. This was an excellent second chance love story with engaging characters that desperately need each other in their lives. Emotional and sexy Bound To Submit was a well balanced romance with a healthy respect to those in the BDSM lifestyle.
Following a tour in Afghanistan where Kenna Sloane lost not only her hand and half of her arm but her best friend she is struggling to hold on to her life. Speaking of her experiences often makes her feel like a fraud and brings up nightmares and pain she doesn’t want to relive. Realizing she needs more in her life she decides to return to the BDSM club Blasphemy even if it means running into Master Griffin; the man who broke her heart years ago. What Kenna doesn’t know is that Griffin realizes the mistake he made and tried to make it right, but she was already gone.
I loved this book for many reasons including the fact that these two had a past, one that was mostly good but torn apart by a man not ready to face up to his feelings. While those actions were in part set Kenna on a new path the reality of it is that even with Griffin in her life she was unsettled and she needed to find herself and her purpose and the Marines gave her that at least for a little while. There was a lot of hurt and some self blaming going on but I appreciated that they were mature in their actions and words and worked through them.
While this book was set against the backdrop of the BDSM club Blasphemy and we do see a bit of the club life and the Masters and members, it wasn’t just about this aspect of their lives. Ms. Kaye wrote a very well rounded story and the characters had to not only face up to their past, but make the decision to let go of things they couldn’t change and move towards the life they both wanted.
The intriguing characters, their emotional connection, and the intensity of their bond made Bound to Submit impossible to put down.
