Synopsis:
Daniella Blanchard is enjoying a romantic interlude with the handsome Eric Lehane, when he makes the suggestion - an interlude on a summer's afternoon involving ropes, a blindfold and a waiting chair. Only when bound and helpless, subjected to an intense game of sexual tease and denial, does the student begin to suspect her lover's wicked ulterior motives in their relationship. But Daniella is no meek submissive and she has secrets of her own, which will take Eric by storm. One scorching twist follows another in what becomes a weekend-long struggle of body and mind for sexual supremacy. Who will come out on top in this explosively erotic contest - Eric, Daniella, or sheer all-consuming passion?
Review by Sara:
I was provided a copy of Daniella Bound in exchange for an honest review. I did not like Eric at all! His motivation behind getting Daniella into bed was deplorable. Even when he was feeling remorseful he never quite redeemed himself in my eyes. I think because I disliked Eric so much I couldn't connect with the story on an emotional level.
I didn't understand why Daniella would suffer the cruel abuse he continued to dish out in the guise of sexual games. I did however enjoy her revenge.
This story has wonderful writing and it was highly erotic. I just couldn't personally connect to the characters.
