First book I read from her and I really liked it. Characters were interesting and it was hot! The cover and title may fool you this is not a hardcore BDSM book.It like BDSM for beginners, great for me since I don't like the other stuff.

Very hot! Also very explicit... if you don't like your romance that spicy then I wouldn't recommend this one for you. I personally really enjoyed this book and look forward to her next one.

In Chadwick everyone who knows Katie Long wants the good girl to find a happily ever after Prince Charming. The likable young woman agrees that she needs to find Mr. Right, but also romanticizes that her fantasy lover will bring much more than being a nice guy to the bedroom. She has dreams that would shock those who consider her the pure "Golden Girl"; dreams that BOUND her to her dark desires.

Town newcomer casino security guard Joe Carson wants to be that man as he sees something passionate in Katie's eyes. They are BOUND to one another as they play sexual bondage games of master and slave lovemaking as he knows what she loves in the dark. However, both knows what they do in the bedroom heats up the sheets in answer to their most desirable fantasy, but outside the boudoir there must be more if they are the right pairing as their family, friends, and neighbors insist they are.

BOUND starts off equatorial hot and then turns up the heat as fans of erotic romances will appreciate the torrid encounters between the Golden Girl and the security guard in the dark. The lead couple is compatible in bed as their S&M tastes blend quite well together. However, both are also wise to know that accompanied by love is not enough as they must prove companionable in the light. Not for everyone, sub-genre fans will appreciate this sheet burner.

Fast, fast read -- super-fast, actually -- believable scenarios, likeable main character, plot moves along quickly. Explicit, of course, but not as graphic as some other same-genre novels.

WOW, I couldn't put this book down. The book is set in a British Columbian Casino, and there some phrases/slang that is used that I'm not familiar with but it didn't take away from the story. You'll need a big fan while reading this one because it's HOT! I loved Katie and Joe, I just hope that Sasha comes out with Kyle's book soon!

The characters are well written and the intimatacy pulls you in and keep you entertained. From the start the chemistry between Katie and Joe blasts off. I enjoyed reading this full length novel (after reading a novella in KINK) because Sasha White has a way of taking seemingly ordinary people (not overly sexed) and making them into goddesses. It's great how she transforms them in the matter of 200 or so pages.

book was good but it is in first person, which I am not a big fan of. Also, the Hero of the book is pretty much a DOM jerk throughout.... it is one thing to talk dirty and be a bit bossy, but a whole nother thing to just be mean to the chick you want to be with.... but if you want lots of steam with a bit of suspense the book is for you.

Wow is about right! This book was very fast paced and HOT HOT HOT! If you do not like the submissive role type or very explicit scenes then this book is not for you. I have to say though...I loved it!

First book I have read by this author. Not sure if I will read another. Weak plot, storyline somewhat blah, not much to keep the readers interest. The erotica portions were ok but very repetitive. I suppose if you are new to the genre it could be interesting. I've read several reviews here on this book that stated it was HOT, my opinion is NOT.
