Arrogant, brooding, domineering, possessive, dangerously handsome, and a playboy. These are all the characteristics on Rebecca Gellar’s Run-Like-Hell list for men, but she’s about to meet a man who’s the epitome of these and more…
After breaking off her engagement with Hollywood actor Miles Storm, Rebecca is ready for a change of scenery in her life and in her bed. So when the opportunity to work for StoneHaven Publishing, one of New York City’s most respectable publishing empires, presents itself, Rebecca doesn’t hesitate moving to the Big Apple.
Convinced she can show the owner of StoneHaven Publishing that she has the ‘right stuff,’ Rebecca agrees to a six-month trial as the personal assistant to the owner’s playboy son, Nicholas StoneHaven. This is her big chance. If she can just get through these six months without strangling Nicholas with his Armani tie, she'll be okay—easier said than done. Nicholas is the last person Rebecca thought she’d find herself pining for, especially when he hits every category on her list.

When she isn't writing, you can find her listening to true crime podcasts, watching PBS, or reading Scottish Highlander Romances. She's also a huge fan of traveling.
Finally I took the time to read the second part of this serial and it was a real roller-coaster-ride... only not in a particular good way. What troubled me a little bit in the first part had an even stronger impact on this one. There were some scenes that simply were unrealistic to me, and I'm a sucker for that. If you don't care about that for the sake of drama and romance, you will definitely love this one even more than the first. But I can't.
I even got close to rate this with two stars if Tristan hadn't swooped in and made be laugh being the grand best-friend that he is. Apart from that, the way Becca and Nick behaved in the second third I just was shaking my head. BUT! This part ends on a high note and a not overly surprising cliff-hanger. It still would have made me purchase part three. Because, honestly, Vanessa Booke's writing style is just snarky and fun.
I loved it!!! the way they got at it with each other is hilarious. the way it ended pissed me off. do authors get off on ending with those killer cliffhangers???? I need the next one now!!!
Now that's a first... I've just read both volume 1&2 in one day, and I'm genuinely surprised in a good way. Even though the first two are full of typos, I liked everything about them so much, that I now find myself craving for the third volume. The character of Rebecca is refreshing, instead of annoying, as SO many main female protagonists are in recent books I've read: she manages to walk the fine line between shy and playful, level-headed, but prone to craziness; and a huge point goes to the author for handling the "plus size" like it ought to be handled - as the insecurity that is all in the head of the heroine, instead of having people treat her like she's the sole carrier of the bubonic plague or something, because that's the way that "issue" seems to be carried out in other romances, where the heroine is *gasp, God forbid..."plus sized"... So well done to you, Vanessa Booke! I tip my hat to you. Another milestone that impressed me was the fact that, even though the book is listed under genres like "erotica/adult fiction", I wasn't drowned in incessant and tediously described sex scenes, which, let's admit it - seems to be the norm for such books nowadays. Quite the contrary - the first sex scene happened after a deliciously prolonged "foreplay" lasting a book and a half, and when it finally did, it didn't feel rushed out or as unconvincing as in all the other novels. It felt JUST right and emotionally gut-wrenching, because I've been given enough time to develop a bond with the two characters, to get where they are coming from and truly experience their emotions while reading. That's how a well-written book generally works. Heck, it could even be used as a poster for explaining the difference between sex with feelings&emotions involved, and just bland f***ing. I also liked the few Bridget Jones winks throughout the books, and because it was done subtly, rather than blatantly obvious, it only made me warm up to the character more, rather than annoy me due to the all too familiar lines and situations. I can't wait to read book 3 and more from the author!
I was very lucky to be gifted this book by the author for an honest review. If you liked BTY1 then you will love BTY 2. I was addicted to the book and could not put it down, I read it till the early hours and was left with a book hangover and a hunger for more, cannot wait for book 3. Nicholas is just as hot and cannot deny his need to have Rebecca. They are working in very close proximity to each other and both cannot deny the attraction. They both try to fight it, Becca doesn't want to fall for Nicholas knowing that he has a fiancée plus he is arrogant and so sure of himself. Nicholas doesn't want to get married, but his father is forcing him to, all he wants is his hot red haired assistant Becca. Temptation is too much, but at what cost and the past is still very present for Nicholas, he needs to fight his guilt and demons and stop the sham marriage to be truly happy. A hot, funny, passionate read. Vanessa has done it again and left me wanting more. Book 3 please hurry.
Finally Nicholas is understanding his feelings better and seeing him jealous and possessive punching left and right every man around Rebecca was totally sexy and funny, I understand very well why Rebecca is turned on by this behavior...I'm too :D
Loved Tristan's plan and him as character, he's so alpha and funny, loved Carol's protectiveness toward her friend.
I hated Alison, she's such a desperate bitch and Miles is a total asshole, coming with a ring and asking her to be back together...like nothing has happened???
What is getting my attention is also Tristan and Emily's story...so looking forward to read their story in books 4 and 5.
Another solid story in this e-serial, with Nicholas and Rebecca trying their best to fight their attraction to each other. We get a glimpse into Nicholas' past, he learns about Rebecca's ex, there's a job layoff that takes place, Nicholas' best friend Tristan has a plan to speed things along and there's a helluva cliffhanger. I can't wait to see how this will all wrap up.
This is the second book in the Bound To You series by Vanessa Booke. Rebecca is 24 years old and she’s just caught her actor fiancé (Miles) cheating with his co-star. Miles Storm is Hollywood’s new hot actor who stars in a hit television show. Rebecca is done with Miles and she’s done with Los Angeles so she decides to move to NYC. Her best friend, Carol, from college is giving her a place to stay until she finds something else. She’s also just gotten her dream job as a Personal Assistant at StoneHaven Publishing. One of New York’s oldest and most respected independent publishers. Stefan StoneHaven warned Rebecca she’ll be working for his son, Nicholas and he requires a babysitter to keep him outta trouble. Nicholas StoneHaven is 28 years old and he’s gone through five PA’s in the last year because he ends up sleeping with them. His father tells him enough screwing around it’s time to grow up and he’ll be marrying Alison Price. Alison is the daughter of one of his father’s investors and Nicholas can’t stand her. He slept with her once months ago and has avoided her at all costs ever since and now he’s being forced to marry her. Nicholas and Rebecca have explosive chemistry with one another so can they keep it professional ?
All three book are sort of short and that's probably why I managed to read them all in only one day. Call me crazy but I'm not married or I don't have kids and definitely that the reason why I'm capable of reading three books in one day.
Now the second book was better then the first obviously. They both start to realize that what they feel about each other is not just plain sexual attraction.
Tristan's plan was the best. I was so excited when all of that happen I just could wait to see what will Nick do when he'll bring her home.
But like every story there have to be the bad guys - Nick's fiance and Miles Me being like: "I wanna kill em butttt never mind!"
I was hooked to this trilogy from the first page of the first book! I read the first book in less than three hours and started reading this book right after. The story continues where the last book ended and let me say, things are starting to get interesting between Rebecca and Nicholas. A fantastic sequel and I’m looking forward to the last book in this amazing trilogy!
Rebecca Gellar thought life would be simple once she moved to New York. That she’ll kick butt at her new job at StoneHaven Publishing, hopefully get her own place, and finally move on with her life—without any drama. But fate had a different plan for her when they handed her Nicholas. Now Rebecca can’t stop thinking about her hot boss. But there’s more to Nicholas than the attraction that exists between them. Still, she can’t explore what that could be because not only is he her boss, he is also engaged to someone else.
Nicholas knows one thing for sure: he’s screwed. Not only is he attracted to his assistant, obsessed, really, but he also is engaged to marry a woman he does not love. As the attraction for Rebecca grows stronger and stronger, will he be able to resist her for much longer? If not, what will this mean for them? And is what he’s feeling for Rebecca purely lust, or something more? Is he willing to risk a fallout to find out?
I’m obsessed with Rebecca and Nicholas’s story! Just when I think I know what’s going to happen, the author pulls a twist that I didn’t see coming. What I enjoyed about this book was how much I understood Nicholas, compared to the first book. Don’t get me wrong, he can still act like a bastard sometimes, but he also has this sweet side I can’t get enough of!
I highly recommend this book! If you’re new to this series, I recommend reading the first book before this one. Otherwise, you’ll be lost.
My favorite quotes:
She watches me as I take a single strand, pull it between my fingers, and then watch it spring back. I smile, amused by the simple motion of her hair. “Even your hair defies me.” I whisper, staring at her lips.
“My assistant, Rebecca Gellar…” “I remember her. She’s a pretty one.” “I think she’s the devil in disguise,” I admit. “It must be the hair.”
Kiss me, Rebecca.” A tear escapes, running down his cheek as he stares back at me with a pleading look. “Nicholas, what’s wrong?” “I need you.” His words are a broken whisper.
Bound to You 2 picks up right where Bound To You 1 left off , so make sure to read 1 first , Rebecca Gellar is starting her first day as Nicholas StoneHaven assistant , she has not see him since she knee him in the family jewels and left him howling in pain in the elevator. Their first encounter leaves her melting . “Ms. Gellar, welcome to StoneHaven Publishing.” My eyes follow his mouth as he pronounces each syllable with a mixture of elegance and authority. I hug my dress coat tightly against the crook of my elbow as his voice sends bumps down my skin. Here he is, in the flesh. The dangerously handsome and enigmatic Nicholas StoneHaven. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but somehow he looks different. His blond mane is slightly shorter and tousled as if he woke up with gorgeous bed hair. I bite my lip as I try my hardest not to moan at the sight of him in his tailored dark blue suit. I blush as my eyes unconsciously drift down to his crotch. His suit is perfectly fitted in more than just one area. “Gellar, my eyes are up here,” For Nicholas it's just as hard , having her so close is driving him crazy and giving him a case of blue balls .... This won't do ..so he decides to make her job difficult and make her quit but he doesn't take in count Rebecca's stubbornness and she knows that in order to succeed in StoneHaven Publishing first she has to proven her self as his assistant . The lust and wanting is killing them both , but with Nicholas wedding around the corner, can Nicholas convince his father that marriage to Alison is just wrong ? Nicholas best friend Tristan sees what is between them and sets up a plan to make him accept that Nicholas and Rebecca are meant for each other. Add a gala where Nicholas is force to remember his past , his demons the guilt that hunts him , with way to much to drink , a hot encounter with Rebecca, a jealous Fiancée , he is going out of his mind ! Oohhhh and guess who is coming back to claim Rebecca again ??? This book is full of steamy encounters , drama , jealousy , I couldn't put it down stayed up all night and got a book hungover , that's how great it is ... darn it Vanessa Booke you left me hanging .. I want to be a glitch in your computer to know what is coming in book 3 . I'm going to die waiting.
Being Nick's personal assistant is a struggle in itself, but throw in the crazy-sexed up attraction they both share and a minor hiccup and these two are close to exploding; Rebecca has her work cut out for her.
Nick's is being forced into something that he wants no part of, but saying no just can't be done. He'll lose everything. But that doesn't stop his pursuit of Rebecca, even if he won't admit that pursing her is what he's doing. In an attempt to force her out of his life, he is bound to make sure her job is a living hell - but all that backfires when he sees how fiery she can be.
Just as their relationship begins to escalate and it happens, that moment.... then the words.... The End.
-------------------------------
The second book improved considerably for me although Rebecca still remained a bit too insecure for my liking. But the story picked up and the plot was developed leading you into the story that really at this point is still up in the air. Now, with romances we all sort of know where its heading, but there are a lot of little things that still need to be discovered and brought to a conclusion that allow this to remain a bit unpredictable.
I am a sucker for the wealthy playboy who is has lived his life knee-deep in one night stands and suddenly wants something more, not because it's time to grow up - but because he finds the one. This filthy girl just can't help be be a hopeless romantic at heart.
We also get to see a more intense and vulnerable side to Nick and I think his back story was well developed. It gives you a feeling of a bit of a realistic vibe, explaining why he is the way he is - while not being to unbelievable that those events could have shaped how he lived his life. The third & final in this series releases in a little bit and I am excited to see how it all plays out.
*Rebecca Gellar has started work for Nicholas Stonehaven on a temporary 6 month job as his PA. Nick does not want Becca as his PA as it is too tempting for him, so he sets out to make her quit by giving her silly boring mundane tasks. But Becca has made a vow to never sleep with Nick. Or any man with the same attributes and won’t let him scare her out of a job.
However at a charity event which looked after Nick's brother whilst he was dying Nick becomes very low and gets drunk -Very drunk!!- Whilst he was drunk he wanted to give the paps something to look at so Becca kisses him to get him to calm down, then Nick admits he NEEDS Becca.
But Nick MUST marry his fiancée if he wants to inherit his father’s company. what happens when things between Nick and Becca finally come to a head and Becca hears things she does not want to hear?.. Will they be discovered?? Read this amazing book to find out.
This book is amazing and so full of sexual tension you can practically feel it. I really felt sorry for Nick in this book as he is clearly out of his element with Becca he is normally such a playboy never usually having the same girl for a couple of weeks and certainly never has to try and stop thinking about them.
But there's something different about Becca he can’t stop thinking about her and he doesn't know why - even though hes supposed to be getting married to someone else-. Not only that though he has had to deal with losing his brother and so now must step into his shoes and take over his father's business - but only if he follows all his dads rules whether he likes them or not.
I love Becca as everything Nick throws at her she just throws them back bigger and better he cannot trump her.
This is the second book in this series and you will need to read the first book before this. This book was fantastic and the ending will definitely leave you wanting more. I would highly recommend this book to others
I READ THIS AS A SET BOOKS 1-3 TOGETHER LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT !!
I admit I had the first two books on my kindle and not a chance to read them so when I saw the tour I had to jump on it so I could make the time and finally dive in !! I was in love with Rebecca right away , YAY for CURVY girls !! I felt her pain and despair when her man tried to pull one on her and I was so thankful she was strong enough to ditch Miles and go for her dreams and start over in NY. Of course I knew she was going to have a run in with a super hot wealthy guy , I mean this is NY and she is suffering from a broken heart !! Not only does she have this run in right away on the plane , this guy ends up being none other than the man she will be working for !! It is ironic and funny and yes something I totally daydream about !! LOL
Immediately Nicholas is smitten , he wants this fiery redhead from the plane under him and out of his system. That is who he is , no attachments just fun. Of course his father has other plans and has been planning a marriage of benefit for the company. Nicholas wants no part of this and of course once Rebecca hears of it she tries her best to stay away. Throughout the story they are forced into situations alone and together that in the end force their hands and honest feelings out. They are HOT AS SIN together and I was drooling A LOT !! I love Nicholas , he is all alpha male and bad A$$ but he is not the typical jerk that screws everyone and expects Rebecca to wait for him. He does struggle with his engagement and how to get out of it. He wants to admit his feelings but fears rejection. I love his POV and although he does do a few dumb things he really is AWESOME !! I loved how it played out , loved the ending and look so forward to reading more by this author !! That little sneak peek at the end , HOT WOW !!
I just finished Bound To You and I just freaking loved it. This is apart of the series so it is a must to read Volume 1 first but DAMN you just have no ideas, NONE on how quickly I got hooked on this. If you have followed the series then you know Rebecca is Nicholas assistant. They can't have each other and do what they can to stop anything from happening. YEAH RIGHT!!! That is so hard to do when there is so much sexual tension. You just have no idea how hot they are. It's forbidding. They have responsibilities. How do you think this is all going to turn out? You just have to read and see.
LOVED IT!! So hot and so sexy. Miss Vanessa, you have done such an amazing job with these characters. I love caring what happens to them. I even love the secondary characters and would love to see more. Gah, I'm totally freaking and want the 3rd one soooooo bad!! Counting down the days that's for sure!
Nicholas, damn the man is FINE! Sexy playboy has meet his match. Too bad he's engaged to Allsion (Viper!!!). That's ok though. I'm know it is gonna be a wild read for this next one. Rebecca is still my girl. She tries. She doesn't want to be the other woman but to meet she isn't cheating. I don't know why I think that. She just isn't. It's their voices. You see in both point of views so you know what they are dealing with. What they are feeling. And man their feelings have progressed so much from the first one. It's natural progression and I am so happy that I got to read it.
Waiting rather impatiently for the 3rd!!!!

Review for Bound to You Volume 2 (Millionaire’s Row) by Vanessa Booke
Bound to You is a serial type series that follows Rebecca and her desire for a fresh start and Nicholas as he finally figures out what it is he wants out of life even if it means losing everything.
Ohmigod! Nicholas is sofa king hot. I mean package that man up and give him to me please!
“She makes me feel like the only thing I need to survive this cruel f***ing world is the thought of being inside her, and right now, that’s a dangerous mindset.”
Um… what was I saying again?
Oh yes… Bound to You Volume 2 by Vanessa Booke this is the second in the series and should only be read after reading volume 1. Really didn’t think this could get any better than it was, but I was completely wrong… this second installment gives everything you got in the first and then some. More story, more character development, and more smut/sexual tension/dirty talking.
I don’t want to get into details because I really loathe spoilers, so as vaguely as I can I’ll tell you my favorites of this one… learning more about Nicholas’ past and what makes him tick. Realizing how deep the insecurities run inside of Rebecca. Feeling the attraction and the pain of wanting what you can’t have even though every-single-thing inside of you says to grab onto it with both hands and never let it go.
“Don’t you remember? ……. You’re mine.”
Five stars for a storyline that just gets better as it goes along and five drenched panties for hot as hell smut! Absolute must read serial!! Certified Mommy’s a Book Whore must read!
Right after the first part, I had to read the second because I was terribly curious as how Rebecca would react to her new and precarious situation. Nicholas Stonehaven acts like a cocky slaver towards her, but she never gives up. It was so funny and exciting to read about Nick's mission to rile her up. Eventually, working together starts to change their relationship as we get to know Nicholas a bit better. I liked that he as a shadow in his past. I don't like manwhores, but I tried to forgive him that as I realized everything weighing him down.
Every scene blends really well the job situations with the simmering attraction between the characters. In this second part, both show their family ties that sometimes hurt but always fee real. Though the unplanned game of cat and mouse they have going on with each other is highly entertaining, I caught myself wishing they got together already. I loved on particular scene at a special shop, but it took a long time to produce any real encounter. Though it kept my interest really high.
Lots of heated quarrels, challenges and drop-dread chemistry make this part quite an eventful read. Everything seems to keep Nicholas and Rebecca apart, but they gravitate towards each other with an increasing passion. The cliffhanger puts great pressure on Rebecca and promises a finale to remember.
As Nicholas and Rebecca interact more, Rebecca is as stubborn and determined as ever to keep her job and be professional. Easier said than done because Nicholas is struggling, too. He has a lot of stuff to deal with, Rebecca only being a fraction of the issues even if she consumes a large portion of his thoughts. Getting to know both Nicholas and Rebecca better in this volume was entertaining because they are both very persistent and frustrated by one another. It's kind of a cat and mouse game and yet the chemistry can't be denied. Nicholas isn't superficial, he has real vulnerable aspects to him but hides it to the point of denial to himself. Rebecca is still stung by the hurt from her last relationship and overall public scrutiny that she is very careful about her actions, except when she's around Nicholas but she knows this and tries to avoid him. But because she is his personal assistant, Nicholas has to tread carefully because the wrath of a personal assistant can really screw up one's best laid plans. Rebecca is really leaning on her own independence more to be the girl that can fend for herself and yet it's still very authentic to see her crack with insecurity slightly at times but she will also not hesitate to go after what she wants. I'm definitely looking forward to the next volume.
Well let me tell you the second one DOES NOT let you down.
Again we follow the story of Rebecca and Nick.
Rebecca is getting under Nicks skin and he's losing the control h has, but is loving it at the same time, but he knows he needs to scare her off as his dad has just made the decision of him Marrying some one else.
Rebecca is trying the fight her attraction for Nicholas and Nicholas is just pushing her for his own attraction.
Throughout the book you find your on the edge of your seat with the will they?, won't they? and boy when you find out what happens its pure brilliance in the writing.
The ending of this book is on a cliff hanger and boy is it a good one, just as you think Rebecca and Nicholas has sorted their relationship out, the one and only Miles Storms arrives at Rebecca's apartment.
What is going to happen between Rebecca and Nicholas now that ex-finace Miles has arrived? What will happen to Nicholas and his forced marriage to Alison?
i am patiently waiting for book 3 i am totally addicted to this series,congrats on another smash hit xx
Volume 2 picks up right where volume 1 leaves off so make sure you have read volume 1 first! Rebecca has to start her new job working for the rude, self centered, extremely good looking Nicholas StoneHaven if she ever wants to advance in the publishing world. The issue is she can't look at him just as the rude arrogant a$$wipe he his. He has her panties melting just by looking at her, and that doesn't make for good working conditions. The big issue is she has him sporting a set of blue balls just by being around him and he is engaged to be married. Can he get his father to understand the marriage is all wrong? Can Rebecca let go of the dream of Nicholas and move on? Tristan sees what is between Nicholas and Rebecca but can he open Nicholas's eyes to the truth before it's to late?? Understand one thing... This isn't the last book and there for you will be left says WTF I NEED more... No your kindle didn't eat pages the book really ended when you tried to flip for the next page!!! Well played Vanessa leaving us like crack addicts needing the next hit!!!
Rebecca's a strong woman with a past, trying to get ahead in life and make a fresh start. Nicholas is the son of a publishing house owner and has had a marriage arranged for him to secure the companies investors but to a woman he does not love and who he really doesn't even like. Rebecca has to survive 6 months working for Nicholas so that she can be promoted with in the company. Rebecca and Nicholas are having trouble resisting each other and the spark that burns brightly for each other. Finally an alone moment, they can't resist any longer...you will need to read it to find out what happens. Rebecca makes some choices that infuriate Nicholas and the sparks keep flying. Love this authors writing style, the exciting storyline and the list of characters who seem to pop up and keep the story interesting. Nicholas is a sexy dominant man, "I loathed watching him kiss you. Watching him touch you, " I say, stepping closer as I cup her face. "I wanted it to be me, Only me..."
This book was gifted to me for an honest review by the Author.
A fabulous continuation of the series!! There's lots of angsty sexual tension, but there's also a lot of fun moments in this series too. A really sexy battle of the sexes that I'm loving SO much!!
Rebecca is a wonderfully feisty heroine who gives as good as she gets. I love that she's a real girl with curves & insecurities & yet she's fierce & sexy & doesn't take any of Nicholas' shit. Nicholas is the perfectly tortured alpha boss with a hint of darkness in past. We get more of Nicholas' backstory in this installment which I really loved. It gave his character real depth & a vulnerability that I found pretty irresistible. The chemistry between these two is hot! I can't wait to see how their story plays out in the final installment. I'm really rooting for them to get their HEA.
BTW I love Nicholas Stonehaven, but I also have a BIG crush on Tristan Knight!! I hope when Bound to You is finished we get Tristan's story. Pretty PLEASE Vanessa! ;)
Rebecca and Nicolas have a strained work relationship. I mean how could they not Rebecca first met Nick on a plane and had the most amazing kiss of her life only to find out later he is engaged! Nick can’t stop thinking about Rebecca but knows he has to put her out of his mind because he is being forced to marry Alison for the good of the company. As things heat up between these two you can actually feel the steam coming off the pages. Though they try to stay apart they keep coming together time and time again. Nick thinks once he has had her he can get her out of his system. That does not work out so well. Things finally come to head when he sees another man kiss her. He tries to stake his claim but Rebecca has other ideas. Can these two work out their issues and be together? How can their relationship work when he is promised to another? Can Rebecca put aside her past hurts and let Nick in? I can NOT wait for volume 3 talk about your cliffhangers!
Warning: Due to content, this book is intended for mature audiences (18+)
An e-book was provided in exchange for an honest review.
Volume 1 told us the backstory of Rebecca and what drove her to move thousands of miles away. Volume 2 of Vanessa Booke’s Millionaire’s Row series starts to reveal the back story of Nicholas StoneHaven. Millionaire, playboy, and heir apparent of StoneHaven Publishing, he is expected to do anything and everything to assure the continued success and profitability of the company. And that includes agreeing to the succession plan his father has laid out.
Though hot, arrogant and extremely sexy, Vanessa has also managed to create characters that are flawed as we are. Internal struggles battle with external forces. Obligation battles against want and need. Pride battles against lust and love.
This series is easy to get involved in and a very quick read.
Nicholas has a problem, he is attracted to his new assistant but doesn't want to be. Rebecca just wants to survive 6 months working for Nicholas so she can move to another department at StoneHaven publishing. Of course, whenever they are in a room together, sparks fly, tempers flare and well … funny things just tend to happen. Rebecca ends up as Nicholas' date to a fund raiser which leads to a stellar moment on the balcony and Rebecca having to rescue a very drunk Nicholas to avoid the press. The chemistry and sizzle between Rebecca and Nicholas just grabs you and won't let go. I love how Rebecca doesn't back down, she is feisty, strong and pushes all of Nicholas' buttons. Of course, there is the issue of his engagement and then the ever popular cliffhanger with someone from Rebecca's past. Anxiously awaiting part 3 to see what will happen next.
Bound to You Volume 2 picks up right where Volume 1 left off and it's such a fun ride. Rebecca is getting more and more under Nicholas's skin and Rebecca is having a really hard time fighting off her attraction.
I loved this second installment so much! Vanessa's writing is fantastic and I can't wait to see more from her. Volume 2 was amazing and we got to learn so much more about Nick and his past with his brother. The crazy ass errands Nick sent Rebecca on made me laugh with how ridiculous they were! The ending left me waiting for Volume 3 though! Man that ending totally killed me.
Volume 3 will be released soon and I can 't wait to see where this goes!!! Good job Vanessa!!
4.5 stars. Even better than Chapter 1. Now that the H/h know who each other is and are still both feeling the sexual chemistry between them, working together is becoming difficult. On top of that Daddy has "arranged" that his son is now going to marry the daughter of one of his big clients and will not take no for an answer. Son had a one night stand with the daughter (which he had frequently with lots of other women) but has no love for her and, besides, he's really developing big feelings for his assistant.
We get a little more background on the son and find out why he has a very hard time saying no to his father. Seems he was somewhat responsible for the death of his older brother years ago and feels beholden to his family to make that loss up to them. And now, the h's former boyfriend, the actor, is back to try and win her back. Can't wait for #3.
FUN AND SEXY This was fun. So much happened in this book. Story picked up and Rebecca and Nicholas finally had sex YEEEYYYYEEYYYY!!!!!.
There were scenes like in Timber when Nicholas best friend danced with Rebecca and how Nicholas reacted after seeing them made me love this book so much. I love how protective and territorial Nicholas is for Rebecca and how Rebecca fight him by yelling she is not his. They are so wild fire together.
I hated when Nicholas made Rebecca hide under the desk when his dad and his fiancé came to his office after they had sex and what she had to endured lying hiding there.
Story is getting so interesting and they both are falling in love. Plot is thickening and I m so excited to see what will happen to Nicholas and his job and his feelings for Rebecca and his soon-going-to-happen marriage.
I was fortunate to be gifted this book by the author for an honest review. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Rebecca and Nicholas have an intense chemistry that they want to fight but keep losing the battle. The banter between the two characters is comical and I found myself yelling at them to just face the truth...they are meant for one another. The desk scene? HOT HOT HOT!!! Thank goodness for the best friend Tristan to bring Nicholas to his senses. But they each still have issues to overcome...Nicholas' pending marriage and then the dun dun dun.....the cliffhanger. Still love the spunk of Rebecca's character. Can't wait for the 3rd volume....will they or won't they end up together? Another great story by Vanessa. I dub her the Queen of Cliffhangers.
Girl, you can write! It's an amazing story and with the confidence of Becca and the alpha-male attitude of Nick, and his s**tty past, this could have been a much more longer and a better written story with more details. I mean, I just wanted to know more about his family, and Emily and Tristan's relationship - you totally forgot about these in book 2.
I felt sometimes you skipped some 'unimportant scenes', e.g. how Becca arrived home after the foundation event and sometimes I felt that the conversation with her mother was just too long-drawn. By the way, I don't like her mother's attitude and Miles is just a totall ass! Hope Nick will fight with him for Becca!
