He was everything she could never have.

Lady Olivia Pearce lives a sheltered, lonely life in the English countryside running her family’s historic estate. The only way to save her family’s estate is to marry a man she doesn’t love. Her sense of tradition, legacy and family loyalty has her agreeing to her family’s request.

What she wasn’t expecting was to meet the man she had always dreamed of after agreeing to marry another.

She was everything he couldn’t possess.

Axel Taylor, lead singer of Dirty Texas, had it all; a successful career, a great group of friends, good health and happiness. His life was pretty damn perfect until the people closest to him started falling in love and settling down, throwing chaos into his perfectly controlled life.

Axel never envisioned himself needing more until the perfect little package walked into his life and turned it upside down. She exposed everything he desired underneath his hard shell.

But meeting the right person doesn’t always happen at the right time.

One little taste can’t hurt, can it?

Fierce attraction, combustive eroticism, and intense drama overflows from the newest novel in the Dirty Texas series!

Suddenly Bound finally gives you the story behind the intriguing and complex man that is Axel Taylor. As the lead singer of Dirty Texas, Axel is not only seductively charming, but also a complete mystery. Who is this man that we've come to love and adore? Olivia Pearce enters his life, and that's all it takes to finally see the man beneath the image. But when a wild weekend of strictly fun and no attachments comes to an end, can these two go their separate ways forever, letting go of what they've shared and found in each other?

Wow...that's all I can think to say about this book. Simply, WOW! Suddenly Bound not only connects you with your favorite characters from the Dirty Texas gang, but also introduces you to a completely new world that is both surprising and profoundly enticing. Axel and Olivia appear to be absolutely polar opposites. Alex is the bad boy rocker, sinfully sexy with an overabundance of confidence. Whereas Olivia is beautiful, poised, and reserved, and will do anything for those she loves. But we all know the saying 'opposites attract', and it couldn't be more appropriate when describing these two. Their undeniable chemistry and desire further heightens the dynamic between them.

The passion between Axel and and Olivia reaches an all new level on ferocity that we haven't read before in the previous books. Erotic moments and tender interactions balance the story perfectly, giving just enough to leave the reader dying for more. The emotions conveyed explode from the pages, making the reader enthralled throughout the entire story. Throw in the dramatic aspects, miscommunication and secrets, and it all comes together for a very gripping and powerful love story!

JA Low has quickly established herself as a very talented and exceptional author. Suddenly Bound, as well as the entire Dirty Texas series, represents her remarkable ability at storytelling. Her stories are beautifully written, and are undoubtedly must reads! Utterly provocative, deliciously naughty, and completely addictive!

5 HOT, SEXY, OMG STARS

JA Low has done it again with this hot, sexy, rock star series. Book 3 in this series is sizzling hot.

Axel and Olivia are a pair that are most unlikely suited for each other – but wait until you see what JA Low has in store for you?

I love the fact that this series and the characters within it are all so different. The author does a superb job of giving each of these characters their individuality and the build-up of each character from the beginning of the series continues throughout this whole Dirty Texas series. The depth in this story is amazing. The sex scenes are off the charts.

Axel and Olivia are like a fabulous. They will give you chills, actually more than chills.

You need to read this book and the whole series. Make sure you read this when you are alone.

You will not regret it.

Fabulously sexy, highly erotic and a highly recommended MUST read.

This is the third book in the Dirty Texas book series by J.A. Lowe and it's probably my favorite. This book follows Lady Olivia Pearce who is a legit princess who's family owns a ton of land in Europe. She is driven and has managed to turn her family's estate around and make everyone a ton of music. Her family sets up an arranged marriage to a playboy who is sleeping away across Europe. She goes off to meet her friends (who we've met in the other Dirty Texas novels) and meets Axel, Dirty Texas band member and playboy who excels in casual, kinky sex and making music (much like the rest of the band.) Axel is kind of a closed book about his emotions and is not interested in a series relationship and Olivia is bound by family obligation.

This is an opposites attract whirlwind romance style book that is well written with just the write amount of drama and a good dose of sexual tension. Worth the read!

I never thought that anyone could beat my love for Christian Taylor, but then along comes his twin Axel and he has stolen my heart.

We met the lovely Lady Olivia earlier in the series, and now her full story was just what I needed. She and Axel and all their glory were everything I expected - and more.

From cover to cover, I was immersed in the world of Dirty Texas and their (very lucky) ladies. I loved seeing the softer side of the beautiful, brooding Axel.

I loved the sizzle and spark between our lady and our rock star. Right from the get go there was a pull between them that couldn't be denied. And I was drawn right into that vortex with them.

I loved the way Ms Low told their story, how all the Dirty Texas gang were with each other.

There is a character though that I had such a visceral reaction to - and not a good one. Every time this character was on the page, my body tensed, filled with such dislike - ugh, I don't want to say who it is but you will know when they show up!

Each book in this series just keeps on getting better and better, and I can't wait to see where Ms Low takes us next.

5 star review of Suddenly Bound (Dirty Texas #3) by J.A. Low

This was a great additional to a fantastic series from J A Low. I loved Alex and Olivia's story, it was so much more than I expected and I didn't want it to end. These books seem to be getting better and better.

What's a woman to do when she is torn between duty and love for her family and the love of a man she never expected to have? This is the position that Olivia finds herself in.

I must say that her family left a lot to be desired, thank heavens they are not real, as if they were they should be drawn and quartered. What selfish idiots they are and her sister, well I have no words that I can actually use here to describe my feelings for her.

J.A.Low wove an interesting story that kept me reading well into the night. I just wanted to see what would happen, so I read this book in virtually one read. I totally love Axel, in fact I have always loved him and this book just deepened it. There was so much going on in Suddenly Bound; at times I was frustrated with Olivia, even though I could understand where she was coming from. Axel in my opinion is one awesome hero.

This book focused on elements of BDSM which happens to be one of my favourite genres, add in some awesome characters who seem like family to me and it was great to catch up with them all and see how their lives are also progressing.

I highly recommend this book and cannot wait for more from Ms. Low. Do yourself a favour, if you haven't taken a chance on this Australian author, do so, you won't be disappointed.

What a book! This series just keeps getting better and better and I don't ever want it to end. This book had my heart breaking so much reading it. It broke for Axel but the one that broke me completely was Olivia. I cried loads whilst I watched her be bullied and trod on by her family. I was absolutely livid at times.

This story is an epic love story, I may even say it's the best book yet. It was full of so much chemistry, kink and just swoon worthy moments, that has you on the edge wanting more and more. The story is definitely much more raunchy and that fact was brilliant and it bought so much more to the table.

This book is a huge recommend from me especially if you love a kinky rockstar that meets his match, gets knocked on his arse by an amazing women and that eventually the rubbish is put out where it belongs and good wins. In this incredible story.

IDK, The sex club always seems forced in this series. Then I super can't see Axel forgoing the sex club almost immediately for "inexperienced" Olivia.
But the person I really want to have a go at is Olivia. She politely takes shit from her sister to a point that is utterly ridiculous. Her father and mother are manipulating and selfish.
Could I like this book??...only if we spent more time with Axel and Olivia. And if Olivia had a bit more time to get some self esteem.

So, no.

This is the fourth book by J.A. Low that I have had the opportunity to read and I must say she just gets better and better. She sucks me in and I can't put the book down. Her characters, the men, are sexy hot and so so swoon worthy. She writes an awesome rock star story! Just when I thought Low had reached a high with the sexiness of her stories, she takes it up another notch with Suddenly Bound!

Alex and Olivia couldn't be more different. Alex is used to the spotlight and the fame and fortune that has come with his career as a rock star. Olivia has lead a relatively sheltered life. Raised in the English countryside, she now takes care of her families estate. When she meets Alex and they begin to become more, she has to fight for what she wants and hope that she won't hurt anyone in the process. The ties to her family are strong, but her love for this man is greater.

Seriously, Alex and Olivia are smokin' HOT! This book is by far the hottest, sexiest, swoon worthy book in the series. I love a man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it. The fact that there were elements of BDSM was awesome. Alpha males are hawt, hawt, hawt!

Do Olivia and Alex have what it takes to make a relationship work or will Olivia's obligations and duties to her family come between them for good. Go and grab your copy of this awesome, off the charts, hot, sexy read. You will not be disappointed!

I took half a STAR away ....because of that abrupt ending. I didn't like it at all.
Definitely hot AF sex scenes, quick storyline, angsty and just overall a fantastic read. Just didn't like that last page sorry.
Love how we get all the members and significant others throughout all the books.
I would still highly recommend this book and series.

JA's books just keep getting better and better with each story! This book was EPIC! A story of family loyalty, hatred and a steamy hot kinky romance between two unlikely lovers! Lady Olivia is bound by family to marry someone she doesn't love, her life is one of loneliness, hard work and family... that is until one weekend where she meets and falls for hot, kinky and the very dominant Axel from Dirty Texas. Their love story is not all sunshine and roses especially since Olivia is betrothed to marry Eddie the London playboy who all but told her he wouldn't ever stop his man whore ways even after they were married; and an evil sister Penny who will stop at nothing to see Olivia sad and alone. But neither could escape the feelings they had for each other... This book was one roller coaster ride of emotions for me, it was an exciting, panty melting ride that kept me hooked until the very last page. Totally recommend the whole Dirty Texas series it certainly is a wild ride!

JA just keeps getting better and better with every book she writes!! This third book in the series is my favorite so far. Mainly because of how different the characters are but how amazingly perfect they are when they are together. This book is about how opposites attractive and how sometimes doing what you're supposed to do because of the family you were born in to isn't always what you should do. It's about following your heart and making mistakes, apologizing and then screwing up again and apologizing again and knowing your true love will always forgive you....it just takes some time every now and then. Axel is my favorite and his dirtiness was portrayed perfectly opposite Lady Olivia's softness. I cannot wait for the next book in this series!!

Wow. I can’t believe these keep getting better. I absolutely love this one. I couldn’t put this down. You can split this into two books as with the others.

Axel meets Olivia at the casino in Monaco at his twin brothers, Christian, bachelor party. Olivia walks in with Derrick who has his arm wrapped around her, Axel makes sure to check her out. Axel talks to Olivia and finds out that Christian is getting married at her castle. Later a limousine takes Isla, Stacey, Camryn, Yvette, Olivia, Finn, Oscar, Axel and Derrick to Nate Lewis’s The Paradise Club. Derrick asks Axel to help Olivia out by showing her a good time. When they get to the club Axel helps Olivia out with what bands to wear, then takes her to the safe room for a few drinks to loosen her up. Axel walks Olivia to the first floor where she is stunned by a huge glass room and inside is an orgy going on. After looking into a few rooms Axel takes Olivia to a room in the back and closes the blinds. Olivia takes the room in and check out the cabinets and what’s inside. Axel and Olivia start talking about how inexperienced she is when she lets it slip that her sister is the one who gets all the attention. Olivia’s sister Penny always has to have what she has including her boyfriends. Axel tells Olivia he would like to know more about her. Olivia tells Axel no one ever tells her she is beautiful especially when her sister is with her. Axel and Olivia say they are looking not to be lonely and he tells her he can help her. Then clothes start coming off of them, hands and lip crash against each other, and contact with each other skin. Axel looses himself in Olivia and can’t understand what is happening to him, he doesn’t want to fall in love with her. Axel wants to know Olivia’s deepest darkest fantasies, so she tells him. Stacey, Oscar and Jackson join Axel and Olivia to make all her fantasies come to life. After Stacey, Oscar and Jackson leave Axel tells Olivia he doesn’t want the night to end, then they agree on continuing over the weekend, just one weekend. The next morning at Venessa penthouse suite Derrick questions Olivia about how her night went with Axel, but she tells him she can’t kiss and tell.

🔥SUDDENLY BOUND.....🔥SUDDENLY HOT🔥.........❤️SUDDENLY LOVE❤️

SUDDENLY BOUND 🔥 is the latest edition to JA Low's Dirty Texas series, and each one has, absolutely, been better than the last.....SUDDENLY BOUND (and, hopefully, it's sequel to come--since the other two have both had one) is the love story of Axel Taylor, the sexy, kinky, alpha frontman of the rock band, Dirty Texas (I love that name for a band) and a completely-not-his-type-of-girl (he thinks) royal, Olivia Pearce...Axel, who is Christian's twin brother, is probably my favorite...of course I may or may not have said that about Evan and Christian, too....🔥
Axel and Olivia are extremely attracted to each other immediately, but, Axel, (because--typical rocker that he is, he doesn't want to be tied down...EVER), and Olivia, (unbeknownst to Axel, and due to her parents' "arrangement," is engaged to be married and believes, she, according to previous (loser) boyfriends, needs some "experience" before she marries), agree to have a one-night stand at a discreet high end sex club, of which the band, including Axel, are members...It turns into a one-weekend fling....and then some🔥
Olivia, seems to have been dealt a bad hand all the way around....A loveless husband-to-be, who has already assured her fidelity should not be expected after the vows.....An immature, selfish, irresponsible jealous, "bad seed" sister And parents who seem more concerned with Olivia fulfilling "duties" than her happiness.....I'm stopping right here to keep from "spoiling" the book for you, but I believe you'll love SUDDENLY BOUND and, in fact, all of the Dirty Texas books. 🔥
If you have never read any of JA Low's books, she really is fantastic....I found her through a recommendation, but after I read Suddenly Dirty, 🔥I immediately read Suddenly More🔥, Suddenly Together🔥 and Suddenly Begins 🔥and was thrilled when I found out she was releasing SUDDENLY BOUND 🔥so soon....Hopefully, and I mean I sincerely, truly, hope she is working on her next one (3.5, maybe...aka hopefully the "rest of the story" of Axel and Olivia🔥) ....JA Low has quickly become one of my favorite authors, and if these are her first books...I can't even imagine where she will go from here, but I know I will be reading ANYTHING and EVERYTHING she writes....I highly recommend SUDDENLY BOUND, but if you have not read the entire Dirty Texas series, you are cheating yourselves of some good reading!!🔥🔥🔥Did I mention they are hot!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥y

Suddenly Bound was Axel and Olivia's story and what a great story it was!

The sexy manwhore might have just met his match? I think Bound was probably the best yet. The sex was so sensual, I was totally turned on!

Axel and Liv had such good chemistry together and I loved their quest to find love and happily ever afters.

Olivia, although meek and mild, was a sexy temptress when it came to exploring her sexual side. The perfect match for a dominant alpha like Axel, and I loved the reaction when he found out he was going to have to do the chasing for once.

Axel's soft side was so sexy. The way he made sure Liv was comfortable and made sure she got to experience her fantasies whilst making sure she was safe and ok throughout, WHAT.A.TURN.ON! What better man to teach you about sex....yeah I'm sooo jealous!

This book ends with a HEA, but the road to getting there didn't go so smoothly. I really felt bad for Liv, having to choose between her family and her heart. I'm so glad she finally grew some balls and stood up for what was right!

If you have been following the boys and girls from Dirty Texas, then this is a MUST read. Totally tore up the bedsheets and a great storyline that flowed nicely, and again we also get tidbits on all the others. What a sexy bunch of alpha's and vixens, you can't help but fall in love with this series!
5 stars for Bound, can't wait to see what's next!

5 Stars!

J A Low is back with our guys... more specifically the mysterious and intriguing Axel... hotter than ever, blazing onto kindles with the next standalone installment in the insanely good Dirty Texas series.

I fell for these boys long before I finished book one once upon a time ago. And because rock stars are my one of my weaknesses in romance, like an addict... I keep coming back for more.

Suddenly Bound was a sexy, passionate, intense, beautiful, angsty, and downright brilliant read that had me captivated cover to cover. Once I started this book, I totally didn't want it to end. Axel and Olivia's story was packed with loads heart, heart and emotions.... that just poured right off the pages.

Swoon..... My man Axel, gracious the man stole my heart from the beginning. Axel was a puzzle I wanted to put together and keep... for myself. Sinfully delicious and downright tempting, he's the kind of man you keep for way more than a weekend.

He and Olivia's journey was complicated and twisted but their undeniable chemistry and unforgivable passion... it was so worth it.

The Dirty Texas series is not one to be missed. Rock star romance fans.... J A Low is a must read!

I highly recommend this book.

5+ STARS
I am having a proper tantrum here. I'm not happy with J A Low! I am in love with every single member of Dirty Texas and all of their friends and families and I have been immersed in all of their hotness and drama to be left wanting more! More I tell ya! I NEEEED to be fed information of their love lives daily.

I have so many characters from previous books that I need more of and so many stories that need to be told of other members. How am I going to wait for their stories? It's a real life dilemma. ( Insert dramatic flailing )

I am so happy with all the ins and outs of the romantic life of Olivia and Axel. I have been so hot and bothered with their sex lives too. They have had my emotions all over the place, I've been frustrated with them and cried in sympathy for them as well as hating certain characters with a PASSION .

It's just fabulous to be back with all of the boys and catching up with the continuing saga of their growing family. I really do feel like I know them all so well now. They are all such big romantic, soppy , rock stars and they make me swoon and need to be cooled down with their sexiness.

You really would be doing yourself a favour if you read this series. It's a definite must read as far as I am concerned.

5 "I'm your slice of bread." Stars

Holy sweet hellllllll-o!!! I thought it wouldn't be possible to let another member of Dirty Texas dig their way into my heart, and wouldn't you know, along comes Axel. He's definitely one to take charge and I had no choice but to hand my over my heart. He consumed my book nerd soul, obliterated it with butterflies and all the gross feelings that come with falling in love. My senses were swarmed with such intense, swoony, gushy feelings and filthy, dirty thoughts, all taking control & owning me. I guess you could say I'm Suddenly Bound.

An unlikely match who come from different worlds, Olivia and Axel couldn't be anymore perfect for each other. Their instant attraction, the angsty push and pull, up and downs and twists and turns will leave you panting and begging for more. Laughs will be had and tears will be shed
as this duo face heart breaking obstacles along the way to a HEA.

Book highs are a powerful thing to experience when you're so immersed and in the zone. I just can't even right now. Seriously smitten. Hands down this is my favourite installment in the series to date!

This series keeps getting better and better! I honestly thought no one could beat Christian but his twin brother did! This book starts out with some hot action and just continues to shine. Axel and Olivia meet on a bachelor/bachelotte weekend. Olivia has always been the chill responsible one while her bitch of a sister had all the fun. She decides that this weekend will be one of fun and to break free of everything. Axel helps her fulfill some fantasies and boy are they HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!
The chemistry between these two is undeniable! The only problem I have with this book is the fact that Olivia keeps letting her sister and the rest of the family hold her back from happiness. She becomes this confident sassy woman with Axel but the minute she comes home, it goes out the window. I was happy that confident woman came back and she was able to give her sister some payback.. that was awesome! Axel is amazing. He takes a lot in this book mostly due to Olivia shoving him away. He's sexy as fuck and knows how to fulfill fantasies like no other. Damn those scenes were hot!!!
Seriously pick up this book and read about these sexy as fuck Dirty Texas boys!

JA's books just keep getting better and better with each story! This book was EPIC! A story of family loyalty, hatred and a steamy hot kinky romance between two unlikely lovers! Lady Olivia is bound by family to marry someone she doesn't love, her life is one of loneliness, hard work and family... that is until one weekend where she meets and falls for hot, kinky and the very dominant Axel from Dirty Texas. Their love story is not all sunshine and roses especially since Olivia is betrothed to marry Eddie the London playboy who all but told her he wouldn't ever stop his man whore ways even after they were married; and an evil sister Penny who will stop at nothing to see Olivia sad and alone. But neither could escape the feelings they had for each other... This book was one roller coaster ride of emotions for me, it was an exciting, panty melting ride that kept me hooked until the very last page. Totally recommend the whole Dirty Texas series it certainly is a wild ride!

This is the book i have been waiting for as i LOVE Axel. Book 3 in the Dirty Texas series and the best so far in my opinion. JA Low has certainly outdone herself with Suddenly Bound How can you not love the hot and sexy Axel. Once i started this book I could not put it down! I did not want it to end!

Axel and Olivia are not a couple you would immediately put together but wow they are brilliant together. The passion and chemistry between them made my kindle steam and my temperature rise!

I also found this story quite emotional, my heart broke for Olivia and how her family treated her. Thank god she now has a sexy, kinky rockstar that she has knocked on his arse and is at her side. Was very happy when the family was dealt with :-)

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Review Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from the Author and Give Me Books

J.A.Low has once again upped the bar, every book in this series seems better than the last !!!
I was waiting for Axel's story and it didn't disappoint, it gave me everything I expected and more
Getting back to being up close and personal with the Dirty Texas gang was just what the doctor ordered, it's hot and steamy but in this book we get to see the softer side of the broody, mysterious Axel. Olivia is easy to love, she is a strong character trying to do right by her family heritage but by doing the right thing she finds herself trapped.
A love story that's hot as hell, some backstabbing, and off course the family loyalty that J.A. Low always gives us in every book in this series. A perfect addition to the Dirty Texas Series.

OMG what a roller coaster of a ride filled with excitement, fun, trepidation, romance and angst!

I loved every bit of this book- even the two nasty pieces of work called Penny and Eddie! They may have been selfish and mean as a cut snake but they filled that role so well!

Olivia and Axel are poles apart, one is royalty and one is a rockstar but together they fit so well. I don't want to say too much as I don't want to give away the story at all.

Just know that with each book JA Low astounds and bowls you over with remarkable storylines, sexy, hot characters and passionate intimacy.

I'm looking forward to the next book already!

What does a rock star and a princess have in common?
Suddenly Bound centres on Axel and Olivia and my oh my do things get heated in a few ways!!!
I really love the comradery, the banter and the way the innuendos fly out of mouths!!

I absolutely loved this book, loved the way it was written and how everything unfolded! A really great addition to the series!

Axel has everything he could want as the lead singer for Dirty Texas. Olivia is living in a castle in England with strong loyalty to her family. She has agreed to an arranged marriage for her family. A wild weekend after she and Axel meet at his twin brother Christian's wedding shows her she can have it all if she has the courage. A steamy, sexy read that I enjoyed to the end.

I think Axel may be my favourite Dirty Texan!

I loved this book. I devoured it in a day and wished there was more. I don't know why, but Axel is my favourite!

I can't wait to see more from Dirty Texas. Here's hoping for Finn and Isla and Oscar and Stacey!!!
