Submissive Kelly Flynn's life is falling apart...

John Taylor, her Dom boyfriend is wanted by the police for the brutal murder of his psychologist, a psychologist that was helping him deal with his childhood.
Kelly is John's alibi, but the police don’t believe her. Her parents don't believe her either, but she knows John.

Madly in love with John Taylor, Kelly just doesn't know anything about his past. What is it that made him the way he is?

Meanwhile, with John's solid alibi, the real killer is looking for another victim. Does the murder have Kelly's name on the top of his "To-do" list?

Between her parents, John's past, the police, and the killer, Kelly's perfect love story is seriously feeling the strain.

Will the truth set John and Kelly free, or will it destroy their love once and for all?

Connected (André Chevalier BDSM Stories 5) is the final part of the ‘Bound and Freed’ series.

John's past trauma is finally brought to light, as Kelly and John find their lives threatened by a ghost from his past. Everything comes full circle and questions are answered. John and Kelly's love is put to the test, as John is suspected of the murder of his counselor.

As the two overcome serious obstacles, their passion continues to intensify, resulting in plenty of steamy sex! I love the chemistry between these two and the sex scenes are off-the-charts hot! If you've devoured the earlier books in this series like I have, you won't want to miss this final book!

The 5th and final book in Bound and Freed Boxed Set

Well done Nikki Sex.

Yes, there were a few editing problems throughout the 5 books, but not enough to be a problem.
John and Kelly's connection is compelling and emotional.
John's unconditional love for Kelly and seeing her through his eyes was beautiful.

This couple stole my heart.
And the sex scenes were HOT

**ARC exchanged for an honest review**

I loved this series!
I was hooked an invested in the characters (John and Kelly) from the very first book.
Who doesn't like a damaged hero??

This series was sexy, erotic and, at times, heart-wrenching.
Nikki Sex makes character development look easy. Her story flows, she has a great writing style and plot.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes grit with their erotica.

Get this series...right now!

The ending was great! Kelly is so good for John and maybe one day we can see a skirt sorry of them in a future setting. This is the last book of the series and was definitely worth reading.

Please note, I read this as part of the Bound & Freed Boxed Set.

This was a very interesting and captivating novel. I’m still thinking about it days later.

The author develops some amazingly vivid scenes throughout this novel. These scenes weren’t necessarily even erotically based (although those were definitely there as well). There was mystery, suspense, heartbreak, and relationship drama galore. She keeps the novel intense without it becoming vulgar or garish. There is a stark contrast between the prayers to God and the subject matter that heightens this intensity. I really appreciate how the author approaches the world of BDSM. She does so with tact and class. She also approaches it in such a manner that you realise how much there is to this world, and what it really means to those there. She introduces you to the scene in a positive manner that you can’t help but be captivated by. She explains some terms and practices common to the scene so that unfamiliar readers can get into the story. She does so very tactfully and without breaking the overall flow of the story.

This story was very intriguingly written, even if the writing did become a little disjointed at times. Amazingly enough, this added to the mystique of the novel. There are times when the author uses the same phrases and thoughts repeatedly. Although disconcerting at the beginning it really adds to the character development. The shortened sentences and small issues with grammar also become superfluous. In most other works I’d say that the novel needs to be re-edited. In this one, it adds so much to the story that I was very surprised.

I enjoyed how the author develops her characters. She doesn’t dump a pile of information on her readers all at once. Rather, she gives small glimpses into the past to provide understanding into the present and the future. It gives insight into the characters and more depth to the story. The large variety of character types who interact with each other gives a very unique perspective of the world as a whole, as well as the world of BDSM. She combines this world with real and heart wrenching relationship issues that make you feel for and want to help out these brilliant characters.

I also really appreciate the symbolism behind the title of this boxed set. Not only does it apply to the subject matter at hand, but also to more than one character. That’s all I’ll say about this. Read the novels and you’ll find out.

My overall impression? Whether you’re a Dom, a Sub, or neither, this series makes you re-evaluate what’s important in your life.

Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I received this book from a friend.

This binge reading session with John and Kelly has come to an end unfortunately. The story has really captured my attention and I have enjoyed their journey.

The last serial to their story is more a novellla . The couple are happy and in love. Kelly has introduced John to her family and they seem to be moving forward. The end of the last story we find out that John's therapist left a strange message for him and was then found murdered. So this story is all about Kelly finding strength and accepting John for all the "sins" he has along with trying to figure out where they will go.

John is realizing that his father has essentially forced their "truce' to come to an end by the actions that we presume he has set in motion to ruin John. This book is full or twists and turns with the who did it and all that. The ending was great. The murderer plot was pretty solid and a great additional twist to the why......

John and Kelly make a great team. They never give up on one another. Kelly makes it her job to fullfill all of Johns needs like he does hers. She is his perfect match as he is hers.

This series had so much potential but unfortunately fell WAY flat. The storyline had a lot going for it but the rushed execution killed it. The "BDSM" tag is also really misleading in my opinion. This was less steamy than most "vanilla" sex scenes. And why would a Sadist, a true Sadist not a poser, suddenly not need to inflict pain upon his subs? The author actually writes that the couple is "screwing 20 times a day", which let's face it is not even remotely close to possible. Also stating the female having 10 orgasms, umm this is a BDSM book and you haven't heard of "orgasm torture"? The female body can only take so much before that becomes painful and not pleasurable at all. There were a ton of editing mistakes and character confusion. It was just a really poorly executed book that left A LOT to be desired.

So much happened in this last book that I think it could have been split up into two. My mind is still trying to wrap around everything. John and Kelly finally find their groove and he starts to let down his walls for her. The police are a bunch of morons- well maybe just Lucille. The family dinner was a little intense. The police reports were outrageous and the animals- sad. Poor John and his childhood growing up. It is a good thing he had his Aunt Brenda, Andre and Maria in his life. I loved the letter John wrote to his father, he was finally able to tell him what he had to, though his father wasn't too happy. John's letter to Kelly- priceless and perfect. Her gift of Max to John, brought tears to my eyes. What a series!

I really enjoyed this whole series. It was very very intense and very captivating. John's whole story was gut-wrenching and while his past and his persona was so dark Kelly was like a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine. I kept imagining everything around John so dark and every time Kelly appeared things would brighten up. They were two opposites who found their way to one another and she saved him and brought him back to life. The ending was beautiful...so sweet.

Once again, John & Kelly are great together. These two have such a connection to each other that they understand things without words being spoken. John is the prime suspect in the murder of his doctor & Kelly is his alibi. John meets Kelly's family and then all the trouble begins...do the two make it to the end together...get to reading!!!! You won't be sorry...

Okay, now that I have finished all of these stories I must say that they were very good. I fell in love with the hero, only I wish that Kikki Sex would have went into more details about his past. All in all I would recommend this series (should have just been one book in my opinion).
