Bound for Romance

by Sascha Illyvich (Editor), Michael Mandrake, Em Petrova

Though some people shudder at the thought of any relationship between bdsm and love, people have always acknowledged the intimate connection between romance and bondage. Terms like "tying the knot," "the chains of love," "love's bondage," and "p---y whipped," among hundreds of others signify our conscious cultural awareness of this connection. What could be more romantic than the willing, conscious surrender of heart and body by a  "bottom" to a "top." In this Here's an all new collection of romantic, erotic novellas of bondage and domination by four celebrated masters of the form, who pool their considerable talents to produce a truly memorable reading experience!  Em Petrova's "Alice's Wonderland" is a hotter-than-hot tale of sexual awakening; Sarah Bella's "Love Was Dirty Words" shows us that sex and love can be two great things even better when they are together; Michael Mandrake's "Binding Justice" is a tale of romance and erotica like no other, and Clarice Clique's "The Snow Queen" is a fairy tale of sex and domination and love that will stay with you for a long, long time! Sascha Illyvich's last romantic anthology, My Sexy Valentine, was a "recommended read" at Romancing the Book, received a "5 Cup" rating at Coffee and Romance, a "thumbs up" at Pen Muse, was called a "spicy read" at Sizzling Hot Books, and Man Oh Man said it was full of "unexpectedsurprises." Don't miss his newest anthology of eros and loving bondage.

About the author

Sascha Illyvich writes dark paranormal romance and urban fantasy where morally gray characters navigate dangerous worlds—and even more dangerous attractions.

His books feature fated mates with complications, enemies-to-lovers tension, alpha heroes who aren't afraid to show their claws, and heroines who give as good as they get. Whether it's werewolf mafia enforcers, vampire outlaw MCs, or detectives hunting interdimensional predators, Sascha specializes in stories where the romance is intense, the stakes are high, and the darkness is part of the appeal.

When he's not writing about supernatural creatures falling dangerously in love, Sascha can be found smoking fine cigars, listening to progressive death metal, and contemplating which Burgundy pairs best with plotting a character's downfall.

Sarah Bella's "Love Was Dirty Words" is a beautifully written story that is both extremely hot and romantic. For those of us who love reading erotica, but still want a bit of romance, this story is the perfect combination!

I have just finished Bound For Romance and loved it. I especially loved Michael Mandrake's Binding Justice because of the way the two men approached their relationship. It so believable and yet sexy :D

I purchased this story for I adored Clarice Clique’s story Mirror, Mirror in Like a Queen. For me, as I had hoped the Snow Queen, mirrors Clarice’s other story, Mirror Mirror. In both Clarice’s has this marvellous ability to suck you into the story. I love and adore the power of all the strong characters. The feelings that Clarice can evoke is so enchanting. I succumb to the power of the character she creates. The story is so arousing and I have not been let down in my expectations. I shall now read the other stories here and leave my thoughts for them too.
