This was a sweet historical cowboy mmf menage. Unusually, it was the two guys who were in a relationship - and because of the historical setting, a forbidden relationship they're obliged to keep secret - who go looking for a mail order bride to enhance their lives.
It's an intense and gloriously erotic short tale in which the three of them get busy in every which way.There's mm, mf and mmf action in this. It all got wrapped up fairly quickly with the minimum of conflict which was a pity really because I'd have happily read more about these three.
This is a complete story but there are others in the series featuring different characters. Definitely worth a read if you're in the mood for some rough and naughty cowboys.

I read this book last, out of Wishlade's trilogy, and wasn't disappointed with the level of passion and the appeal of the characters - vulnerable but brave Layla, gorgeously strong yet sensual Charlie, and exotic, considerate Etu. Wishlade shows real skill in creating characters that you care about. The story is an absolute page-turner that you won't be able to put down. An erotic, fast-moving treat!

It was okay but I likely will not continue in the series. This was just too out there for me. I don't mind a good steamy story but this was stilted and formulaic. I just could not see this as a viable occurrence and just could not find a reason to care about these characters. I think that perhaps if this had been more developed, I might have liked it, but this appears to be a novel chopped into four smaller bits (in an attempt to sell more?) and I hate being played.

I really struggled with this one, it's only a novella so I did finish it but it's not a story I'd feel comfortable recommending.
I know things happen fast in novellas and that is something I can usually overlook but considering Layla's history with men I felt it was completely ridiculous that she would trust 2 men she has literally just met and who had tied her up to stop her escaping.
We're expected to believe that she manages to escape from being tied to a tree and rather than try to get away she watches the 2 men together and decides she wants to join in! Then after one night of passion all three of them are talking about how wonderful a triad relationship will be between them and mentioning love. I'm sorry but I'm just not feeling the love here!
Even if I ignore the speed of the relationship (which was difficult enough!) I struggled with the writing style and the wording used in the sex scenes was anything but sexy. I went from rolling my eyes to snorting with laughter and at no point was I even slightly turned on. I won't be continuing with this series.

Layla has had a hard time in life and been unlucky in love. An advert appeals to her need for a new life and she agrees to a union with the unknown Mr Jackon, a homesteader looking for a wife.
Charles and Etu are long time lovers who want and need a woman to complete them. Today such a thing wouldn't been that unusual but in the 1800's it was scandalous and illegal so who would be willing?
With money in her hands and fear in her heart she leaves the town wondering why she agreed to such a thing but it quickly captured to be returned to her betrothed.
Quick paced steamy historical romance to quench the thirst.
For the time it was set it does seem unusual Layla would be so willing but it is a fantasy afterall. One thing that's not explained but brought up alot is how did Layla have their money? Why would they send it her? Just a niggly after thought but would be good to have and answer.

Bound was just brilliant, i loved the characters of Charlie and Etu, their friendship and their relationship and i loved the fiery Layla, who had been hurt badly in the past and had to learn to trust again. I loved the more sensitive issues of prejudice that Etu had to deal with on a daily basis, it just made the story more real. Molly doesn't shy away from these more harsher realities of this period and she dealt with it perfectly and delicately. But the passion, chemistry and love is the thing that shines out the most in Molly's books. Firstly with Charlie and Etu and then with Layla too. For a sultry, sexy, summer, historic read, this is perfect

Wow! This story was on the shorter side but oh my was it hot as hell, sexy as sin, erotic and beautiful all in one. I thought the characters were perfect for each other. Layla is a vulnerable, curvy beautiful women who was screwed over in the past and scared to have it happen again. Charlie and Étu are sexy as hell and in love but their love is missing something....oh my oh my is this story scorchingly hot, the sex scenes were so freaking sexy and perfectly written, wow! This author knows how to write sexy that's or sure...can't wait to read more by this author and in this series ....4.5 stars just cuz it's so freaking sexy...review by Nanee at upallnightreadallday.blogspot.com

This was a really good story that I liked a lot. At first I thought it was going to be one of those bad written short erotica stories. It surprised me and turned out to be a good book. The story is about a mail order bride going to meet her future husband but she panics and runs with his money. The soon to be husband and his boyfriend tracks her down and ties her up because they don't trust her. One thing leads to another and they seduce her and well you have to read it. lol lol! I highly recommend this book it is a great short story.

A short quick paced read. I didn't know what to expect, but I did enjoy the story. I honestly believe that the heart knows when it's found the one or in this two. The characters and storyline were well written and I liked it.
