At Marley’s twenty-fifth birthday celebration she and her friends enter a pact to each explore something that had only lived in their imaginations before they each settled down in a traditional family scenario. This short was an unexpected pleasure as it followed Reed gently introducing Marley to the pleasures of the BDSM lifestyle. I liked both Reed and Marley and their chemistry together. Marley’s friends were also a hoot and both believably supportive and...more

Four friends, a pact and sexual fantasies come together to create a whole lot of sexy. Bind Me, Book One of the Pact Seduction series, introduces us to best friends who want to fulfill their darkest desires.

First up is Marley, a newly minted twenty-five year old who wants to discover what it’s like to be dominated by a man. Although slightly hesitant, she realizes she can’t back out of her promise to her friends once it’s been made. Not to mention she’s eager to explore her submissive side with a man who makes her heart race and her blood boil. Thankfully the dominant who responds to her ad is all she needs and more. Reed is gorgeous, in control, and wants to introduce Marly to the scene. Despite his determination not to fall into a relationship, there is something about Marley he can’t deny. Together they explore desires and test limits. When the night ends will they move on with their lives? Or will they take a chance on something more?

Bind Me introduces you to the protagonists of the first book while setting up future stories in the series. This aspect is intriguing, as is the promise of future fantasies brought to fruition. There is a lot to look forward to, especially if a reader is drawn in by a particular fantasy. The setup is promising and the characters that will appear in future books are carefully introduced. Sadly, the first book in the series never quite hit its stride. The primary problem is Bind Me is written with a lot of tell and little show, making it difficult to connect to Marley or Reed. Sexual tension ramps up the heat, but heartfelt emotions fall short. That being said, the sex is steamy. Reed is more than willing to initiate Marley into the world of BDSM, and Marley is only too happy to explore her submissive side.

For those who enjoy sizzling hot erotic romances, Bind Me is certainly worth considering. The foundation of the Pact Seduction series will undoubtedly prompt readers to return in order to learn what happens to Marley, Reed, and her best friends.

The concept is great- the idea fun and entertaining with enough naughty to appeal to the little vixen in all of us ladies.

The BDSM here ranges from "Heck yes" to "you've got to be kidding". Let me try to explain what I mean.

On the good his use of implements is impressive - he seems to know his way around a flogger and a crop (and a butterfly but that doesn't take too much know how). He definitely knows how to give a girl an orgasm...and she has a major G Spot orgasm the first time he uses his fingers. That's surely a fantasy as some women don't even have those with trusted lovers. I was suitably impressed with his ability to make her cum over and over and over. Sweet!

So that was good. The writing and dialogue itself are pretty good - though a bit stilted at times in trying to find a balance between formal and informal - casual and protocol.

Moving on Marley thinks she will like bondage - and Reed likes rope. He is portrayed as good at it (an expert even) yet his ropes cause her to not only lose her circulation but to have what is likely to be major marks from them due to her struggling. I could be reading it wrong but that is what it appears to me. The latter (marks) not as serious of course but for a beginner it did not seem wise. He constantly checks her pain level but fails to check something that is, in all respects, even more dangerous - circulation. I wanted to tell him "Screw the pain level..she'll get over it with a bruise or a welt" but loss of circulation can cause major issues. At one point he also hits her while angry which didn't serve any purpose really (other than make me question Reed's capability as a Dom).

Before they meet at the "Castle" (clever name BTW) they have to have background checks and STD results - and the rules say if you are a member of the Castle playing you cannot have sex outside of it. OOOkkkk...it is a fantasy and I can go with that (though it is weird to me)..but then she meets him before the scene and he is holding a BEER bottle. Now I had a moment here because I was never quite sure if the Castle Dolce Vita is supposed to be a fantasy club, a BDSM club, a sex club, or what really. She requests wine and he tells her he prefers his subs not to drink before a scene. Yet he does. And let's be clear - most BDSM clubs don't offer alcohol - though as noted I'm not sure exactly what the Castle was supposed to be. However since they were going to engage in BDSM play I held that club (or at least him!) to the BDSM standard of NO ALCOHOL. I would NEVER play with a man who had been drinking. Drinking impairs judgement and can be very dangerous. No one is getting near my body with ropes, implements, clamps, or anything else that can cause damage if their blood alcohol is in any question. Perhaps if you've been playing together a long time you know what someone can drink and still make wise decisions but this is her FIRST TIME. Had I been Marley I'd of done enough research to know that drinking AND bondage don't go together (in spite of many teenage boy fantasies!) and I'd of said "Call me when you haven't been drinking". Casual reader or seasoned BDSM lifestyler - my expectation is that the person whom I am giving control of my body over knows what he is doing. What should have happened here is she should have called him on it and he should have been man (and DOM!) enough to recognize his failure and admitted it. Try again tomorrow. OR cleverly he could have said "that was your first test" and given her the alcohol and BDSM lecture - never play if your judgement is impaired. (Side-note: This BTW includes any form of impairment whether alcohol, drugs, severe emotional distress, etc).

Then there is all the "I'll excuse this for this time only" language from him on account of her being new. Oh how magnanimous of you dude. Way to introduce someone to the lifestyle. Positions, orgasm denial, pain management through breathing. It is like trying to live the lifestyle in one night and that was the other point that just didn't feel right to me. I think the book would have been much stronger if it took place (the scenes) over a 3 day period like a weekend - or if the implements were just used a bit (and not to orgasm each time). Hope that makes sense. I couldn't shake the feeling that he was a Dr. with his tray all set up ready for him to grab the next implement/toy. The way he taught her to breath was also different than what I've observed in play situations. I'm not a medical expert and it could just be the people I've been around or classes I've been too but no one has ever said hold your breath to me. Breathing through the pain yes - holding my breath bracing for impact no. It also confused me because at one point he made sure to tell her he would never give her what she expected but then shortly after he's telling her to hold her breath before he hits (so that means she would have to anticipate that right?). I got confused. I could be misunderstanding breath play here - but I always interpreted that as the Dom cutting off the subs breath (like when face f'ing or chokehold)?

However, fitting it all in one night is likely due to the fact this is a not a full length novel. It would have benefited greatly from being so as there could have been drawn out scenes - using two major implements in one session is not exactly beginner play time. I mean I could barely process how quickly it went - never mind how Marley must have felt. Definitely not herself - and any decisions she would make for several days would have to be really examined. You need time to evaluate and examine and think about things. Wham B'am thank you m'am can end up in some pretty negative situations for a submissive. I can tell you in my personal experience (IRL) you need 24-48 hrs at a minimum to process through a scene and go over it. Before that it's still too fresh and the feelings too raw and elemental.

However I suppose some of this would not bother the casual reader of BDSM who just enjoys a fun kinky romance. SoI figured I could go there in some ways because it is a book that centers on one night primarily. I can suspend belief.

So then what happens (view spoiler)

Although there is a bit more pain in this than others I class as more sugar or glitter kink I feel like those who like the sparkly BDSM that is erotic fantasy vs. lifestyle reality or romanticized BDSM would enjoy this one perhaps more than me. I do not find it easy to ignore major BDSM no-no's like drinking before a scene and having circulation issues with bondage. Perhaps those who do not know better would be more likely to overlook these things. I admit my standards are exacting - perhaps due to being a BDSM participant lifestyle wise. I would definitely pick up another book by the author but likely one of the other genre's she writes. (less)

Honestly, I was a little bit disappointed with BIND ME. Looking at that gorgeous, very suggestive cover and unique synopsis, my expectations were pretty high. But I think the main reason why I didn't like it that much stems from me recently reading a mighty awesome Erotica-Contemp-Romance-light BDSM book that I highly recommend it to all romanceaholics (FIFTY SHADES series!!), I absolutely loved it so much so that I'll probably compare all the other Eroticas I'm going to be reading from here on out. So this book didn't quite make the cut for me.

A Brief Summary

Marley and her three other friends are bored with their lives, thinking it was time to fulfil their innermost sexual desires, no matter how sinfully wrong it was. Each of them took turns to 'fess up, they picked lots, and Marley had the "good fortune" to have at it first. And as it turns out, being a teacher always in command has made her want to relinquish that control to someone else, and thus, she opted for a BDSM one-nighter.

Reed's just handed his recent Sub who clearly has higher tolerance for pain than what he's comfortable with meting out to his friend, and is looking for a new one. He check through the club's forum for candidates and chances upon Marley. He's turned-on at the sight of her exquisite beauty, and accepts her request immediately.

Little did he know that this naturally submissive woman with dark hair and pale skin would cause the barriers around his broken heart to come crumbling down, and little does she expect to actually want something more than a one-night stand...

Thoughts

BIND ME was a short novel, more like a novella that I thought was a little rushed. There was some hot sex, but you don't just heal a man with a ravaged heart through lust and orgasms. That was the crux of why I didn't like BIND ME. There was no development in the romance between Reed and Marley, and no effort on Marley's part whatsoever in trying to overcome Reed's emotional barriers other than act the role of the submissive - which is pretty much lying on some surface that's probably not the bed bound up nice and tight. Conclusion's a little cheesy as well.

I liked Marley. She's cool, pretty, and when not being a Sub, she does stand up for herself. Reed is.....odd. Haha, not to say that he's not a good Dom, he's plenty good - his methods are erotic as hell (BDSM style) - but the contrast between his broken self and Dom is a little too intense. His Dom self is confident and self-assured, but the other side... He's all insecurities and jitters.

I can't say much about the plot, cause there really isn't much to go on about. If you take my above summary, add in a few sex scenes, that's pretty much it. The sex scenes were plenty hot - yes, that I can assure you - but the rest were mediocre. It kinda made me feel dirty after reading it. :/

Oh well, if you're looking for a quick, erotic read, BIND ME's the one for you. It wasn't bad, but I guess I won't be delving too fast back into this series.(less)

After a night of fun, four best friends make a pact to help each other achieve their deepest sexual fantasy. Drawing straws decides the order the pact will take place, with Marley getting the shortest straw.

Marley’s fantasy is to be dominated. She is a school teacher and in control of everything all day. Letting go of the control, being punished, but also being pleasured are her fantasies. Tie her up and spank her bottom, that’s what she wants. Marley’s friends sign her up on the Castle Dolce Vita website, describing what she is look for and needs in a Dom.

Reed is a Dom at Castle Dolce Vita, a sex club catering to various sexual needs. Two years ago his heart was broken by his submissive. While he has continued to dominate, he hasn’t had sex with any submissive in all this time. He has become bored with the monotony. When he sees Marley’s post, his body and mind come alive as well as his cock. Contacting her, he sets up a date for a scene with no intention of it going any further. Playing Marley’s body like a violin, Reed must decide if he can get past his own limits and open up to the possibility that he might love again.

Squeeeeeee! This was one hot book! The pact was a little corny, but I can see that each book will be hot based upon what each woman’s fantasies are. Marley was fun to watch. The pact made her nervous, but when the night actually comes to fulfill it, she doesn’t back down. Nervous or not, she is going to get what she wants. She is a strong submissive, but a natural one as well. Listening to Reed, she follows what he says and when she doesn’t she learns her lesson fast. Reed is a little harder to read. He loves how responsive Marley is. Gets into her beauty and natural grace, but he holds back not wanting to get involved and have his heart torn out again.

After the scene, there is a blunder on the part of Reed! I wanted to smack the shit out of him for running. No matter what happens, Doms do not run away after a scene just because their emotions are jumbles…just imagine how Marley felt.

He does redeem himself, but I find it hard to forgive a Dom…but I guess he was overcome with emotion like everyone else.

Most of the book takes place at Castle Dolce Vita which sounds like a very wonderful place to go to. Too bad it is fictional and by invitation only. So take my invitation and try out this wonderful first book in the Pact of Seduction Series!(less)

Reed is one of the sexiest Dom’s I’ve ever read (lol). He’s so confident, sexual, tender and real. He’s not afraid to admit to his mistakes or apologize for his wrong doings. He has a life and makes a living outside of Castle Dolce Vita. But needs, no craves more. When he pulls up the clubs web page and finds Marley’s application. He knows right there he has to have her. Not even having met her yet and she does things to him that he so desires.

Marley teaches for a living. She is accustomed to giving orders, laying out the rules and putting people in their place. She would LOVE (for once) to give another person control and be the one under said control. She wants to know what it’s like to totally let go of control and be controlled and dominated. She’s fantasized many times about that very scenario and now thanks to her friends and their Pact of Seduction she has the perfect opportunity to let loose and be seduced! I like Marley and can truly relate to wanting to let loose all of that hard held control even briefly and feel free!

We can see from the very start even before they met one another that Reed and Marley would just click. They both knew what the other wanted and needed without ever being told (with a few exceptions of course). But I'd say these two are as kismet as kismet gets.

No one ever likes to draw the short straw. But I believe Marley is oh so very glad she did!

I look forward to the next in the series and hope the rest of the ladies make out as well as Marley did ;)

Who here has a "Erotica" addiction? (This gal raises her hand)
Don't take it the wrong way either...I just love diving into a good smutty book every once in awhile and "Bind Me" definitely did it. I spent less than a hour reading this book on my Kindle because I had a hard time putting it down.
The books starts off with 4 best friends in Baltimore making a pact with each other to live out their deepest, darkest fantasies. They have to draw a straw to find out who goes first. Marley is the lucky one to go first. To her though, she's nervous as hell. She's never done this kind of thing before. Her friends sign her up with getting a Dom from the sex club Castle Dolce Vita by sending information to the sex club's forum online. Within minutes, it seems, she has herself a Dom, whose name is Reed.
Reed is a lawyer by day, but by night he is a Dom that works at the Sex Club. He had his heart broken two years ago from a previous submissive and never thought he would fall for another submissive again.
He falls for Marley though when he sees her picture on the forum. He immediately wants to fulfill her fantasies as a submissive.
Marley doesn't know what to expect though when she finally meets Reed. When he gets in contact with her...he wants her to call him "Master Reed." She never thought she would call someone like that...but Reed is about to make everything come true for her. He's also going to make her realize she can do things she never though possible.
My thoughts on "Bind Me" was it was a GREAT erotic read. It's short and definitely fast to read (at least it was for me). I enjoyed the steamy, erotic scenes between Marley and Reed. Reed is one domineering man who knows not to take it too far. He's very good at being a Dom too. Crap...he had me even squirming sometimes on what he was doing to Marley. Although...in the beginning of the book I was introduced to his roommate, Kole...who is a bit more domineering then Reed. (Can't wait to read his book).
Marley is definitely a great match to Reed. She's everything that Reed has ever looked for in a submissive and Marley in this book has always wanted a guy like Reed. (even though she really didn't know until her friends brought up the pact)
There were moments I felt really uncomfortable...but that's just me being me. I got over it because I love how everything played out for the characters. Yes...I'm one of those who enjoys a sexy, happily every after.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves the genre Erotica and loves to read BDSM. Yes...there's moments of tying up, flogging, smacking, and much more other things that I rather not spoil the book to anyone who wants to read it or is thinking about reading it. (less)

Other than that this is a really good short story for when you're in the mood for a fast, sexy read. I'll definitely pick up book 2.

I absolutely loved Bind Me! An outstanding BDSM erotic romance! It's not too short and not too long. I loved Marley and her friends right from the start and was totally hooked from the minute I started. This is the first book in the Pact of Seduction series and I am going right on to book two.

I actually enjoyed this novel. It wasn't full of dark kink but had enough that I appreciated where the author decided to go with the story. However as I'm sure I've mentioned before, Stacey Kennedy's endings drive me bat shit crazy mad.

Shelves: meh, romantica

2.5 stars.

There are some good aspects of this 'kinky' little fantasy. I liked the Castle aspect and I was okay with the BDSM part of the book, but where it fails for me is the actual 'pact' part story (it was cliche and made the grown women seem like giggly high school girls) and the attempt of making this an erotic romance instead of just erotica.

The end here is just so eye-rolling it totally turned me off the whole erotica aspect. I think if the story was longer, then the romance aspect could...more

For a short novella this was packed with heat. A decent story-line considering the e-book version is about 60 pages. The sex is smoking hot. All in all a quick enjoyable, naughty read.

This book was really good. It gives you a lot of hot BDSM action in a short amount of time. You will not be disappointed. I only wish it were longer.

Story was good,but way too short. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 due to the length.
