Steamy Hot!
Three wonderfully compelling stories are entwined in this great little anthology – Bound for Passion. All steamy hot with elements of paranormal, romance, erotica and BDSM, there is a little something for everyone here.
Deliciously entertaining erotica with a beautifully descriptive tone. My favourite is story number three – but I thoroughly enjoyed them all!

If you are into erotica – particularly BDSM – this collection of three novellas should be on your Christmas list.
Ms Flame’s debut publication has a fun and light touch to it: nothing nasty, but this is definitely an adult read!

This is a trio of brilliantly written BDSM erotica with a few twists and turns, and plenty of ‘steamy action’. A little humor was tossed in. I found myself turning the pages and wanting to read even more! Excellent…and looking forward to more of her work. I give author Scarlett Flame 5 stars!

(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I made the mistake of having this book out in my room, a fact that immediately drew comments from my thirteen-year-old brother. (Teenagers...)
Although this book had very little by way of actual plot, I did find it fairly easy to read. The use of first person worked particularly well in each of the stories - and I felt that the narrator of the third story came across really differently to the narrators in the first two stories.
The first story was particularly intriguing because of the use of an angel in it. There were some hints of further consequences that the angel would face and I think that that would be something that could be explored further if the author ever chose to look at expanding the short story into a novel. Still, it does work quite well on its own.
Although each of the three stories are quite similar to each other in the case of wording, I felt the slightly different plots came across really well. I did, however, feel that some of the language was a bit crude and juvenile at times. (I'm not sure why, but there are certain words that start making me giggle when I read a book with erotic scenes in it).
The second story was... interesting. It's not the sort of thing I personally would be turned on by, but I could appreciate that the narrator found it all a turn-on. I was left very confused by the end of it, though. I'm still not sure if there was a relationship involving the four of them or if I'd completely misread that.
The third story was an interesting exploration of desires and the gradual forming of a relationship.
I would perhaps like to see the stories further expanded, so I can get into the heads of the characters better.

Amount of sex 5 / 5

Story 4.5 / 5
Overall: 5 / 5
Bound for Passion is an assortment of erotic short stories by author Scarlett Flame. This book contains four blazing hot stories that I recommend you read late at night or when the kids are at school! The first two, The Visit and The Return Visit, are connected with the same great characters. I just can’t get enough of them and would love to read their full story! The third and fourth stories, The Stranger and The Awakening of a New Submissive, are not related to each other, but they both have paranormal aspects to them.
Bound for Passion is a deliciously naughty book and I need to warn you. It is essential to have a spare pair of panties nearby! I think I need a cigarette! Phew!
Can’t wait to read them again!

I have never really read a book like this before! It is very graphic and not my typical read. I love romance novels and this is out of my usual comfort zone! I have only seen the movie Fifty Shades of Grey so I only had that to compare to. I found it amusing that this was references in the book of that! The stories are fast paced and an easy read. Scarlett Flame is a talented writer and provides plenty of information about BDSM for those who aren't knowledgeable about this area. I look forward to reading more from this author!

I was kindly gifted this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.
Four short sexy hot reads. Two of the stories are of the same characters. Three of the stories are all about BDSM and the other story is just about a casual hook up with a winged stranger. The stories are not really plot based, the are very easy to read and are enjoyable if you like reading erotica.

This is three stories under one cover. They are all unique erotica, each more sizzling than the last. Vivienne’s was all about other worldly encounter. The second story, Sarah gets to live her darkest fantasy when she inadvertently spills the bean to her new lover, and finally, there’s a young woman’s journey into the land of BDSM. Lovers of Erotica will have a fun time.

Three stories for the price of one! Some great edgy, sexy writing here set around themes of BDSM, submission and domination. As well as graphically-described sexual scenes the stories are also character-driven and compelling in their realistic portrayals of settings and personality. Great stuff, and an author to watch!

This was the first book that I have read by this author and I loved it. I will definately be adding more of her work to my collection. It was full of steamy enounters!!! If you like erotic stories and BDSM, then this set of stories is for you. Ms Flame adds snippets of humour to her stories and this makes the scenes more realistic. I will definately be recommending this book to people.

This is one HOT book!! Do not read if you are at work, on the bus, sat with your in-laws. I repeat, do not do it. This is a collection of short, extremely hot stories that I loved reading! If you're looking for the perfect summer read to lose yourselves in, this is it.

Three hot, well written and featuring paranormal, bdsm, romance and humour, books that are likely to capture the imagination of and draw in new and old readers alike.
Will definitely be reading more from Scarlett

Was an ok book. I didn't like the fact that the author body shamed skinny people.

This is an interesting debut collection of three erotic short stories that cross into paranormal territory for the first story and into contemporary in the latter two stories. The unifying element is BDSM.
In the first story, we meet Vivienne who is wracked with grief in the hospital chapel. Little did she know that her cries would be answered by a being out of this world that would take her on a journey like none that she has ever experienced before. As the second story I've read in the paranormal BDSM short story genre, this was actually nicely done.
The second story introduces us to Sarah, who has bared her most private and intimate fantasies over the internet with a stranger she is about to meet. The internet negotiations turn out to have benefited both of them because they each know what to expect and how to deliver to keep the sparks flying.
The last story in this collection bring us to the pleasure of rope bondage for a first-time sub and her Dominant. The tension went beyond the ropes and kept me hooked to the last page.
Definitely a wonderful collection and a great debut read produced by Scarlett Flame!

Reviewing this book for bookwhore addicts. First just let me state i normally dont read these kinds of books, with that being said It was a page turner . But i got a little confused on were the first story stopped and the next one started. I do think its a great read if you are into BDSM / erotica books. For me though it was way past fifty shades and a little uncomfortable. But if you thought fifty shades of gray needed more then this is the book for you. Not for the faint of heart but really well written .
