Review: Bound (Mastered #1) by Lorelei James

FIRST IN A NEW SERIES
In the new Mastered series by New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James, a woman’s desire to shatter her inhibitions leaves her unprepared for where that erotic journey will take her….
Former small-town girl Amery Hardwick is living her dream as a graphic designer in Denver, Colorado. She’s focused on building her business, which leaves little time for dating—not that she needs a romantic entanglement to fulfill her. When her friend signs up for a self-defense class as part of her recovery after an attack, Amery joins her for support. That’s where she meets him.

Ronin Black, owner of the dojo, is so drawn to Amery that he takes over her training—in public and in private. The enigmatic Ronin pushes Amery’s boundaries from the start, and with each new tryst, Amery becomes addicted to the pleasure and to him. But when Amery senses Ronin is hiding something, she questions her total trust in him, despite the undeniable thrill of his possession….

My Review:

Amery Hardwick agrees to support Molly and go with her to a self defense class. But what happens next will change the course of Amery's life in ways she never expected.

Ronin Black, owner of Black Martial Arts, is stunned upon first meeting the fiery Amery Hardwick. Ronin's rigid control is put to the test and pushed to the limits by Amery. Together they find an explosive chemistry that's undeniable on many levels.

Amery is likewise pushed beyond her limits and expectations, so much so that she's dizzy from the experience. Can Amery get through Ronin's tough exterior to his heart? Will Ronin give Amery what she really needs? Your answers await you in Bound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Bound, Lorelei James (LJ) explores a different level of sexual boundaries than what she features in the Rough Riders Series. I found Bound to be explosive and power packed emotionally and sexually as well.

I also found the characters to be incredibly honest, down to earth, and deeply personal. I believe that Bound is an incredible story of undeniable chemistry that explores limits and boundaries in similar way that Cherise Sinclair does in the Club Shadowlands Series. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the Mastered Series by LJ.

Bound features:

• erotica
• BDSM
• rope play
• alpha male
