Bound By Their Love
From Nicole Flockton comes the intense, emotional conclusion of her bestselling Bound trilogy…Reclusive, exclusive and world renowned, Jeffrey Courteux might get a lot of attention for his exquisite jewellery, but he keeps his personal life under tight wraps. His solitary life fuels his creativity and keeps him sane, and he's not willing to give it up – until a pair of sexy legs in killer heels makes hiding away less appealing than it used to be… Smart, driven and ambitious, Greta Adamas knows she's the only suitable candidate for vice president of her family's advertising firm. Landing the Jeffrey Courteux account for his new line of jewellery will only catapult her to the upper echelons of the advertising world, and nothing will keep her from achieving her dreams – not even the overwhelmingly attractive designer who won't leave her thoughts… Mixing business with pleasure is always a potent cocktail, but one with consequences. What happens when two people who know what they want suddenly want something completely different – and completely out of their reach?

Bound By Their Love is a smash hit! I am a fan of Nicole Flockton's work, but this "Bound" was by far my favorite and here's why.
Jeffery Courtdeaux is a recluse. Ever since his skiing accident he had in Europe year back he closed himself off to the world and to love. He is a exclusive jewelry designer, so his work permits him to live a life that he desires. His jewelry is world renowned. He picks what he does and enjoys his life the way it is. That is until the day he sees a beautiful woman at the local shop his sells his designs and is drawn to her.
All Greta wanted was to be the best of the best at her Father's advertising agency, but her father doesn't give her the time of day. She is ready to be awarded the VP of the agency, but her father has other ideas. Her father has hired a "lackey" named Graham, and Graham can do no wrong in her father's eyes. She has dedicated herself to winning a major account by an impressive ad campaign she put together for the Morelli Corporation. She knows if she lands this account her father would be forced that she is more than ready to take the VP job of the agency. She takes a trip to Broome, AU to see Jeffery Courtdeaux's work, as his work is the jewelry that the Morelli Corporation will be displaying in the Morelli hotel. While Greta is in Broome, she meets a man named Jeff Court. They decide to do a one night stand, as neither one of them is into a relationship, but little does she know who she has met.
This is not your typical damsel in distress, come save me book. This book is about empowerment of women in a career, balancing both work and life, and most importantly about love and forgiveness. Pick up your copy today! A MUST READ!

This is the third book in author Nicole Flockton's Bound series. The first book is my favourite of the three, an amnesia marriage in trouble trope which is one of my favourites. The second was a workplace Boss/Personal Assistant romance which I enjoyed also.
This is the story of Greta, who is the unappreciated daughter of an advertising executive. She has a chance to shine if she can get the contract for exclusive jewellery designer Jeffrey Courteux' first big exhibition with the Morelli group of hotels.
We've met Jeffrey before. He designed the wedding rings for Luc and Jasmine in Bound By Her Ring and makes an appearance in the second book. Both Luc and Nic appear in this story as friends of Jeffrey. He has a tragic history that led to him isolating himself in the far north of Western Australia.
When Greta and Jeffrey meet, they have no idea their brief fling is going to blow up in their faces. But when Greta arrives to make a presentation to Luc Morelli and Jeffrey Courteux she immediately recognises Jeff Court, her fling she is finding it hard to forget.
The romance between these two is complicated by the restrictions placed by her position when she is offered the contract. There is also some dirty work from dear daddy and his favoured colleague at the ad agency.
Overall this is a very enjoyable romance. I'm not usually keen on heroine's who admit to one night stands but in Greta's situation, focussing on her career and trying desperately to be the MAN her father would have preferred it's understandable. There is a lot of the smexy in this and at the beginning it seems forced but the story itself was strong enough to overcome these details.

I've loved all the stories so far in the Bound series by author Nicole Flockton but I have to say Bound By Their Love, the final book of the series is my absolute favorite. There is just something about a man so broken up that he isolates himself from everyone that just tugs at your heart. I adored Jeffrey so much and wanted him to find happiness. I really liked how he and Greta met and they had chemistry right from the beginning and the sex scenes were sexy and hot. I enjoyed and admired Greta's determination in proving herself to her father but there were times I wanted to scream at her to not let it rule her life. Jeffrey and Greta had some miscommunication issues they needed to work on. The author did a terrific job creating conflict between these two that was quite plausible with mixing business and pleasure. I loved seeing the deep friendship between Jeffrey, Luc and Nick throughout this story. This is a wonderful series and a must read book.

Review:
Nicole Flockton writing is such a beautiful bound shown what we do for love. We meet characters that want to feel that they are loved by the ones around them. Their personalities are so strong willed that they have to be on top. Greta has one goal in her life at this time that is to show to her father that she has what it takes to be the best for the company as VP. Jeffrey just wants to be left alone and to make his design. What happens when these two meet and the sparks fly with their love. Can they truly get past all the road blocks that stand in their way?

BOUND BY THEIR LOVE is the third in the series by this author. The other two were great and I couldn't wait to get this one too. I was not disappointed. The characters really came to life for me and I had a hard time putting it down and ended up staying up way too late to continue reading. The journey these lovers go through is a fast but deep one.
The author pulled out all the stops to have us feel the emotion these people go through. When a writer can get me teary-eyed and feeling everything the character is, that's great writing. Nicely done, Ms Flockton!

We met Jeffrey in Lucas and Nick's respective books, so it was exciting to see him get his own story. He's a reclusive jewelry designer, hiding away from the world after an unspeakable tragedy. Ad exec Greta impulsively has a one night stand with a hot guy--only to discover it's the jeweler she's supposed to be pitching to get the contract for his new exclusive line. To make matters worse, if she doesn't land the account, her father will give her promotion to the office a-hole. Can she put her feelings for the sexy artist aside long enough to seal the deal?
Satisfying ending to a great trilogy. I binged these books back to back and loved every minute.

I have to say...this was not one of my favorite novels out of the three novels. I felt the beginning moved too fast for the characters as well as the reader, and that things just went super downhill, super fast. BUT I will say that as the reader continues on with reading the story of Jeff, and Greta, they will understand WHY the novel had to be so quick to jump to the point. There is a lot of strife that occurs throughout this novel, and it was intense in a few places! Never the less, Nicole Flockton brought a great set of characters to live through the pages of Bound by Their Love! An overall good read that can be read as a standalone novel.
Greta Adamas knows what she wants in this world; her fathers approval, and for him to see that she is so much more than just the little girl that was in one ballet recital at one point. He has always seen her as the woman that needs to stay home. Look pretty. Do house chores. "There isn't room for a woman in a cutthroat business world," is what he said to her once. She's taken those words to heart, and wants to prove to him that she can out advertise Graham, the other person up for the title of Vice Present of the advertising company. When she is given the opportunity to do just that, she turns to the jeweler's set located in Broome Australia that she is to be preparing the advertising for.
What she finds there isn't just pieces of gorgeous jewelry, but a mysterious man by the name of Jeff Court. Little does Greta know Jeff Court is nothing but a fabricated name for the world famous jeweler, Jeffrey Courteux. Within moments, the duo is rushed off to a luncheon date that turns into more than just that. Even Greta seems shocked by her eagerness to know this mysterious man who insists on wearing his sunglasses indoors. The pair hit off - in more ways than one - and away they go with their outstanding one night stand that will have readers begging for more.
Nothing is what it seems when the duo awake from their sex-induced coma. Jeff's scars from his skiing accident that happened over a year ago awaken a cold demon within him, and makes things awkward between the pair. When the dead air between them lingers than what is wanted, Greta makes the decision to ask him to leave. Jeff - who insists on calling her Angel every five minutes - takes the hint, and leaves. Jeff is so much more than a hit it ad quit it man though. His accident from over a year ago has left him broken, and lonely. He's isolated himself from so many people, and most of the world, that nobody knows what the world renowned jeweler looks like. So, when the meeting comes to fruition, the shock that portrays on Greta, and Jeff's face is a priceless one.
There is so much more depth to this novel than just man sees beautiful woman, and wants to be with her. There is Greta who is doing her best not to fall into the trap of love. Jeff who wants nothing to do with love as he believes he doesn't deserve it after his accident in the mountains. Together this couple takes an improbable chance of love, and makes it their own. A well-written, enjoyable novel, that the only issue I had with it was the fast paced beginning, THAT in the end makes all sorts of sense. Definite read for 2016.

Nicole Flockton has written a captivating love story to add to her Bound series. Jeffrey and Greta were both characters with strong personalities which made for an intense story that I thoroughly enjoyed. They each have shut themselves off from the possibility of real romance. Greta in order to concentrate on her career and proving herself to her father. Jeffrey has taken in the habit of staying mostly to himself in order to heal and focus on his jewelry designing without the distraction of the limelight. Due to his penchant for anonymity when they first meet they don’t realize who the other is or that their paths are about to cross in other ways. Professional ways.
BOUND BY THEIR LOVE is beautifully written story of two people who have stumbled across a love they cannot walk away from, an unexplainable attraction at the worst possible time. They must find a way to compromise and find a way to balance their demanding lives without each other in order to have one they desperately want with each other.
The author does a tremendous job of giving the reader a full sense of Jeffrey and Greta’s amazing chemistry, the tension, the passion, the frustrations and the joy. I was completely wrapped up in these two worrying how it would all work out. 4.5 stars

In this third incredible book by Nicole Flockton, we see Greta Adamas, the daughter of a high profile advertising executive with his own company trying to win over her father and become the VP of the company, wanting to see it stay in the family. She travels to Broome in order to do some research for a campaign she is planning on bidding on. Who does she meet there? What happens? What happens during the presentation of her ideas for the campaign? What happens when the people make their decision? We watch as Graham, some nobody that has been at the company for only six months work hard to win her father's affections and push her out. The question is going to be will he succeed in that quest, or does Greta manage to take over instead of Graham? This was an incredible read!

I wasn't expecting to like this book, the cover put me off. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The story moved along nicely, although in some places the conflict could have been explored in more detail. I identified with Greta, having been in a similar situation. I enjoyed this from start to finish, I wish I could give it 4.8 stars.
