Bought and Bound

Too Innocent #3

by Lyla Sinclair

(This is the final installment of the Too Innocent series—several thousand words longer than the other T.I. stories.)

Tanya goes out to dinner with Eric, hoping he’ll give her a diversion from her problems for a while. She’s lost her job and is about to lose the last connection she has to her family—the house her grandfather built. Eric takes advantage of her troubles and talks her into playing a rich men’s game—putting herself up for auction as a slave for the long weekend. She’ll get the money she needs and Eric already knows who will buy her—his voyeuristic, OCD friend. He’ll never even touch her. Except not all goes according to plan. A mysterious bidder wins and takes Tanya away bound and blindfolded. Will she really be released in a few days or has her gullibility finally done her in? And after experiencing punishment and pleasure with this dark, handsome master, will she ever want to be released?

First, let me say that I haven't read Too Innocent 1 or 2. I'm not really into menage most of the time, so I decided to steer clear of the first two parts of this short story. Even though I didn't read parts 1 and 2, I still understood everything that was happening in Too Innocent 3 and there was enough back story to at least give Tayna's character a little depth. Tayna is sold to the highest bidder (not the simple voyeur that her friend promised would buy her) and ends up in Athens. The man on the plane warned her to say her name is Marissa and never to reveal her real name to his brother, Dmitri (the person he bought Tayna for for the weekend). Tayna soon finds out Dmitri has been greatly wronged by a woman named Marissa. When she refuses to reveal her real name, he takes his anger out on her with a riding crop and some rough sex, both of which Tayna seems to enjoy. During this weekend, they both get to know each other a little better and Tayna develops feelings for Dmitri, but she's afraid if she reveals her real name, Dmitri's brother won't pay her for the weekend - which would result in her losing her grandfather's house. Just when Tayna decides she'll tell Dmitri who she really is, his brother's men take her back to the states. Don't worry though, there's an HEA. Overall, I really enjoyed this quick read. If you like stories with light BDSM, a tormented hero, a desperate heroine who's slightly in over her head, and a splash of romance, you'll probably enjoy Too Innocent 3.
