Lara approaches her best friend’s brother about marrying her in
order to save her family’s company. Connor agrees, provided Lara is his
wife and submissive in truth.
The first book in The
Donovan Dynasty, Bind, is an intense book that gives a
look behind the scenes in the closed world of corporations, as well as
BDSM. I liked that the author did a good job showing that a BDSM
relationship between a Dom and sub is what the couple makes it. There was
only one issue I had regarding this and that was the whip, as that would not be
something used in the beginning on someone new. However, I loved the
references used regarding the ‘Indiana Jones’ franchise.
Connor is very patient with Lara, especially explaining things to
her, but he makes it clear what he expects should he help her. The
chemistry between the two is very intense and I had fun watching their
relationship grow. I’m glad Connor finally came around in one area at the
end of their story.
There were several interesting secondary characters and I loved
Connor’s assistant. I had to laugh at that relationship as it provided
some lighthearted moments, as did Lara’s neighbor and her dog, Suzy. I
wanted to slap Lara’s father, but he redeemed himself at the end. Both
families were interesting, to say the least, and had a lot to say about
Connor’s and Lara’s relationship.
It will be interesting to see how this series turns out as it is
about the three Donovan brothers, though I hope to see one about Erin as
well. The author included an interview about the series at the end of Bind.
This is a repost of our review from last year to help promote the
release of this book in mass market
paperback in the UK. Congrats, Sierra
