Review
Foxy Rating = Five stars
This is the second book in the Bound series and continues on from Legally Bound. The main characters from LB, Daniel and Rafael are featured in this book and delves deeper into their new D/s relationship and all the testing waters that can entail, however the main focus now is George aka King and Jesse. It was that tingling temptation of a spark between these two that was touched on at the end of book one that had me itching and yearning for this book. Well, let me tell you I was not disappointed in my excited anticipation.

Jesse, the best friend and lawyer partner to Daniel was an instant hit with me from book one. He just says as he sees fit and doesn’t hold anything back. He has always had a deep fascination of Daniel’s revelations of his love life that I just knew something was adrift with how Jesse was portraying himself in his unhappy marriage that he had been tied in for ten tiresome years. His wife, a domineering and petulant woman, was used to getting her own way and this was a giveaway to Jesse’s true self – his natural submissive nature. It wasn’t until the authoritative George, known as King in his D/s club, that a light was switched into Jesse’s life.

King is the ultimate Dom, all the other Doms in his club revere to him in all matters. He lives his life in his penthouse with his slaves, overseeing everything with contacts held in high places and influential people. Some of these also frequent his club with their Doms or subs and when some of these people begin to get threats of blackmail, George takes it upon himself to find out who the perpetrator and spy in his club, is. All this is going on at the same time he acknowledges who and what Jesse means to him. Little by little a development occurs between the pairing that leads to a contract being agreed between them. The creation of that contract also gave a touch of humour by George trying to have a contract with a lawyer!

I loved how open and honest Jesse was and it was through his questioning (sometimes hilariously) that offered some insight to the D/s and BDSM lifestyle to the reader which I found most revealing and gave me a better understanding that other books have not.   The element of suspense was also cleverly done and I am glad to see I didn’t spot who the blackmailer was – it definitely threw me. There was also some serious heat between George and Jesse, that first kiss was a winner! Even the dialogue between them at times was hot.

Jesse’s wife, Cill was an absolute pain and her trickery had me seething and grinding my teeth at my kindle. The anticipation was cleverly done into how what she did would impact on Jesse. The reader was taken though an angst filled period of questioning ‘will this ever be resolved?’ I was waiting anxiously for this to be delivered. But then oh what an ending to be given with those final words being uttered by George. I just wanted to pipe up behind him and shout Yay! You rock George! However on that point I hope there is more of this series as I need more. It has become a firm favourite of mine and a new author to follow. Brilliant. Five stars


Excerpt

The back elevator dinged as he approached, and the doors slid back to reveal Jesse's face. He had circles under his eyes and worry lines in his forehead. Two fingers held a garment bag over one shoulder and a duffle over his other.
            Is it still okay if I stay? He put a smile on his lips that George knew was fake.
            But of course. Let me help you. George approached him and tried to take the bag, but Jesse didnt move to hand it over.
            Ive got it.
            Dont be absurd. I would have a slave do it, but hes rather tied up at the moment.
            The statement earned a chuckle out of Jesse, and he gave up the bag. Even hurt Jesse had a light in his blue eyes and his heart on his sleeve, a trait that made him wholly unique compared to the masks most wore to impress George.
            I can stay on the sofa or something if the slaves use the guest rooms.
            George laughed and turned his back to stalk down the hall. When he didnt hear Jesse following, he cast a glance over his shoulder.
            Slaves in bed how naive you really are, handsome.
            Jesse started after him, brow creased. Where do they sleep then? He caught up and followed George to the other side of the penthouse.
            He realized Jesse was serious, and he laughed throatily again. I have cages for them.
            I love you and Daniel, but your lifestyle is fucked.





Author Bio

When not staying up all night writing, J.R Gray can be found basking in the warm glow of the Miami sun, or at the gym where it's half assumed Gray is a permanent resident. A dominant, pilot, and sword fighting enthusiast, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of any car. Gray frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep patterns, to jot down nonsense. The bane of Gray's existence are commas, and even though it's been fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and bewilder.
If Gray wasn't writing…well, that's not possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an early grave or possibly a mental institution where the tales would end up on the walls in crayon and finger paint.
