review 1: In this menage romance, we have the story of Seth, Allie and Tyler. Seth is the co-owner of a high end BDSM club. He's seen everything and then some. But when he finds what's supposed to be a consensual scene turning into abuse, he is swift to stop the play and rescue Tyler, promising to take care of him and offering to let him stay in his loft above the club while he recovers. He brings in Allie, a friend of his co-worker Jake's girlfriend Cali to see to Tyler's legal needs. But when the three of them are together, a new dynamic unfolds and Tyler agrees to stay the week with Seth on the condition that Allie will join them. Shocked but tempted, Allie agrees and a week of the hottest sex of her life with these two men ensues. But when Tyler is healed and is ready to walk aw... moreay, will the bonds they've formed keep them together for the long haul?Once again the author has created a fascinating view into the dynamics of a BDSM relationship, this one involving a Dom, a switch and a sub. Though it begins in a club, the fundamental story lies in the relationship that develops in Seth's loft. Three very different characters emerge. Seth is a dominant man, looking for a relationship with the right partner, be they a man or a woman. He's been attracted to both Tyler and Allie since he first saw them at his club, Tyler as a male escort to whomever brings him there and Allie on her first and only eye-opening visit to the lifestyle her friends are living. The opportunity to have them both is too good to dismiss. Tyler is a male escort, used to having sex for money and never imagining a man would be interested in him for more than that. The care and affection Seth treats him with softens his heart and make him eagerly respond to Seth as a submissive. Allie is conflicted, tempted by the two men who obviously want her in their bed, fascinated by the dynamic between Seth and Tyler and the fact that they still want a woman and that she is the one. They are both dominant towards her and this thrills her, excites her and lets her put her conservative past behind her as they explore each other. None of them are into pain, and the sex scenes between them are emotional, steamy and caring. Having the story told in three points of view exposes their feelings and inner thoughts and conflicts to the reader. From the first page, this story moves at a swift pace, enveloping the reader in a steamy and emotional relationship between three unique and engaging characters. 5 stars!
review 2: When I picked this book up, I didn’t realize it was the third in a series. As I read it, I could tell there had been other stories, but I didn’t feel like I’d missed something. The BDSM theme is almost negligible, though I get the impression that’s specific to this book and not the previous ones. The club the story centers around is BDSM and it starts off with a scene (a heart breaking one), but the relationship is more tender with maybe some commands or something. I actually really liked that element.The book as a whole felt realistic, took me through a range of emotions, and got me invested in the characters. The characters felt alive and I loved who they were and how they progressed from acquaintances to lovers. I especially appreciated the sacrifices made and how it played out to get some kind of justice for the beginning of the book that tugged at the heart strings so much. I will definitely be seeking other books in this series.Bonds of Desire is a compelling read with an authentic feel. It’s a sexy love story that evolves from darkness and I thoroughly enjoyed it. less
