Two years have passed since Frederica joined Gaston aboard the Ocean’s Knave, and with every passing hour they have fallen more deeply in love. By day she is the ship’s physician, but at night she serves her captain in his bed, offering her body for him to punish and pleasure until she begs for more. But after a successful run of raiding other pirate ships, the couple have a target on their backs.

Their only hope is to form an alliance with a trio of like-minded captains, but in order to guarantee the cooperation of these unyielding, battle-hardened men, Gaston is forced to offer them a night with Frederica. Reluctantly, she agrees to be shared with the men, but afterwards Gaston finds it difficult to forgive himself for bartering Frederica’s charms. As jealousy and desperation threaten to consume him, will Gaston lose his beloved Frederica or can he weather the storm and find a way to bind her to him forever?

Publisher’s Note: Bound by the Buccaneer is the second book of the Pirates of the Jolie Rouge trilogy, which began with Rescued by the Buccaneer. It is an adventure and erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes including a foursome, anal play, elements of BDSM, and more.

This is the second book in the Buccaneer series, hint hint, hopefully a third. This has everything in it but on a deeper level it explores In detail about pirates, insight into the victims and how they can be forced to become pirates them self or die. That's where walking the plank came from. Major country at that time gave Captains of ships letters allowing them to loot enemy countries. At that time in history England, France and Spain were the countries that allowed this. They wanted a share of the loot of which was great, and if the pirates kicked in they were protected. If the pirates became too outrageous that had a price on their head.
Frederica and Gaston are both at first victims and now they are pirates but Frederica has convinced Gaston to only rob other pirates. She wants to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and save lives. The love between the two is well developed and leads to elements of erotic BDSM , spanking, melange and a.wonderful outcome.

Cover:  3.5 stars 
Story line:  4 stars 
Characters:  4.5 stars   
Personal rating:  5 huge stars.

Did it give me a book hangover:
Well of course it did!! 
 
Is this a review book or personal read:
This is a review read from Normandie asking for my honest opinion and review.

What I liked about this book.
Well there are so many things I loved about this book but I'm not going to do a list lol as a few people know or should know about me is that I don't do historical books!! I just can't get on with them, the talking and old fashioned words and ways but yet again Normandie has out done herself on the second book of the TRILOGY.. 
Yep that's right trilogy...well there better be another one because this tale and these characters can't end, I refuse to even consider this an ending!!! But saying that though I loved how the two main characters got their ending an I couldn't of put it in a better way, this book was very well written and I found myself not being able to put it down!! Every time I put my phone down to tend to one of the kids, in the back of my mind I'm thinking what trouble is Freddie gonna get herself in lol and I can say that I gave myself a major bloody headache staring at my phone for so long last night because I was on like 79% done and I really wanted to finish it but couldn't :( but fresh day is fresh eyes and now I'm so glad I waited because I was in tears for them both because of how things went and things that happened which I will not spoil at all but this whole book was just a perfect read for any mood.
I have to bring this up but as I was reading this I couldn't help but wonder...'Where does Normandie get her ideas from?' I mean this is one serious hot read and when reading a few scenes I felt a bit hot under the you know what *wink wink lol* 
Enough of my words but I will say to everyone,, please get and read this as you won't be disappointed in the slightest but be warned...this is smoking sexy hot!

What I didn't like about this book.
Right even though I loved and I mean loved this book I have to be honest and say that I didn't like what Gaston did!! 
I wasn't shocked as to how Freddie reacted to it because if that was me ohhh myyyy the man would be in some serious pain!!  but deep down I loved her response to it in the end ;) it was yummy!!

Would I read more from this author?
Normandie is one of my favourite authors and there will never be a time I will not read or re-read her brilliant books.
So basically yes I will read more of her stories.

Would I recommend this book?
Oh please!!! Million times yes to everyone who loves a good historical romance along with some sexy hot BDSM and smoking erotic bondage!!

Ahoy, mateys, it's time for this lusty wench to share her booty!

Frederica Beauchamp and Gaston Galette return to the high seas with lusty abandon in Bound by the Buccaneer, the second book in Normandie Alleman’s erotic Pirates of the Jolie Rouge Trilogy.

Taking up with the crew of the Ocean’s Knave where Rescued by the Buccaneer left off, Freddie and Gaston have their work cut out for them as the first pirate couple to set sail together. Having captured the Captain’s heart, Frederica now stands by his side as a pirate’s mistress, participating in the plunder. Instead of robbing innocent victims, however, the crew now relieves fellow pirates of their booty!

Knowing they’re doomed if they continue to make enemies of every pirate in the realm, they head to the Bahamas to strike a deal with three other ships’ captains. Naturally, nothing comes easy in the rough and tumble world of piracy, and the three captains demand a night with Frederica to prove she is Gaston’s whore and not his lover.

Frederica is at first appalled by the idea; she’s clearly in love with Gaston and thought her Master felt the same. He assures her this is purely a strategic move, but he has two days time to “turn her into a proper whore,” and so he teaches his newly deflowered companion to suck and fuck like a professional.

It’s a unique twist on the virgin/whore dichotomy, particularly when you consider the woman is about to engage in a foursome not long after she’s given Gaston her V card. Without giving away the outcome, let’s just say that these pirates are much more sensitive to a lady’s needs than their prickly exteriors might suggest -- though certainly no less lusty for a fine wench!

If you’ve read the first book in the series, you already know that Gaston loves spanking Frederica, so it will come as no surprise that the paddlings continue in book two -- though, thankfully, Frederica’s whining is cut to a minimum. In addition, you’ll also find more BDSM scenes between the lovers, including some rope games and light domination.

All in all, this installment contains plenty of hot, sexy scenes that will have you wanting to board the nearest seaworthy vessel in search of a dreadlocked, eye-patched pirate of your own. Or, perhaps, a dreamy blonde pirate like Captain Miles Appling, an attentive and experienced older man like Captain Pugwash, or even a randy young seaman like Edward Chatham? Plenty of gents to go around here, ladies, so take your pick!

***** Bound by the Buccaneer by Normandie Alleman

Author Normandie Alleman knows how to raise the heat way past, steamy, melting hot.... This is the second book in the series and must read in order. This Book is definitely for mature readers. This is a Pirate story with very hot adventure, threesome involved, bdsm historical romance.

Frederica was brought up to be a proper lady. Until she met and fell in love with Gaston and then it was thrown out the window as she would do anything for Gaston, his ship and crew.

Frederica even slept with three pirates from three other ships to help make a trio alliance. Frederica convinces Gaston to only rob and attack other pirates ships instead of attacking innocent people.

I wasnt able to put the book down from page one to the end . Looking forward and really hoping that Normandie will make another book to the series.

You are all going to love the stories..

Oh holy hotness!

Frederica and Gaston are back for another adventure! It's been two years since Frederica has joined Gaston's side aboard the Ocean's Knave. They have fallen deeply in love and Gaston cannot imagine life without Frederica.

Frederica has convinced Gaston to only rob other pirates but with pleasure comes trouble. They are on the brink of battle and must gain allies. Gaston seeks to form an alliance with a trio of pirates that are just like him.

I have read a lot of Alleman and I can say this is the raunchiest thing she has written to date. This proves what happens when an author takes a risk. I enjoyed Bound By The Buccaneer and will definitely say the sex level is up. WOW! I cannot wait to see how this exciting trilogy comes to a close in the next book.

He's back! Johnny Depp, I mean Gaston, is back and this time he’s bringing his friends! When I first heard Frederica was going to have to sleep with three other pirates I was a bit peeved, but as the story went on I started to get a bit jealous. lol. The sex in this book is HOT and plentiful. If you wanted more from the first book, Alleman delivers it here. Bound by the Buccaneer has everything I want in a historical erotic romance with a little quirk and kink thrown in which makes it even more interesting.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest and fair review.

This was a great book. Freddie was born into a society where she was a born and bred a proper lady. A society that would only allow her to marry and have children. She then meets her Pirate "Gaston". He not only saves her and protects her he makes his love slave. However he doesn't put her into the typical role that a lady of her standing is made to do. She becomes more like a part of the crew. The crew treats her well and takes care of her. Has everything you want in a pirate story but with a little extra. Definitely a must read.

I love being transported to another world when I’m reading, and another world filled with naughty pirates, lush surroundings, and sexual adventure – sign me up! The menage scene with Frederica and the other pirates was off the charts HOT, yet somehow it didn’t diminish her devotion to Gaston. In fact, she did it for him. The way he responded was rather humorous to watch, and it was fun seeing him squirm. Another 5 Star Read from Ms. Alleman! May there be many more ;)

Who doesn’t love a hot pirate? And in this book we get four of them! Whew! I had to fan myself during the scene where Frederica is “shared” with the three pirate captains, but the scenes with Gaston are just as hot. Read this if you want to be swept away into another time and place – a sensual escape with a fun story-line. I’m looking forward to book three.

This is a 2-in-1 review of the Pirates of the Jolie Rouge books: Rescued by the Buccaneer and Bound by the Buccaneer. Both books follow the same characters, Frederica and Gaston.

Get ready for a great seafaring series, of pirates and adventures, all for grown ups. The action starts from the first chapter of the first book to the last chapter of the last book.

Frederica was on voyage on a ship heading to the American Colonies in the New World when her ship was attacked by pirates and many of the passengers murdered. Frederica was abducted and she became prisoner to Captain Humphreys. She is surprised that while her mind despises Captain Humphrey's brutish behaviour, her body responds to his ministrations.

Along the way they picked up Gaston who had been adrift on debris in the sea after his ship Ocean's Knave was involved in a battle and became damaged. There is instant attraction between the two when Frederica has to tend to Gaston's injury. The air sizzled around them. Of course, their interlude doesn't last long when Humphreys routs Gaston's mutinous plans. Eventually, Gaston reunites with his crew and Frederica manages to convince him to let her be part of it.

At the start of Bound by the Buccaneer, we meet Gaston and Frederica enjoying their lives together. Gaston has taught Frederica to embrace her submissiveness and he is a protective master. But danger is not far behind because their chosen livelihood of robbing other pirate ships have made them lots of enemies and trouble is brewing for them. To counter this they need the support of like-minded captains. The men drive a hard-bargain and will only help them if Gaston agrees to share Frederica with them.

Frederica is a strong and spirited, sometimes to her own detriment. She is adventurous and will try anything once. She views her encounter with the three captains as such. On the other hand Gaston regrets agreeing to the deal as jealousy eats him up. It is easy to understand his internal struggle after she's enjoyed the night with three men.

I came to understand both characters a lot better in the second book, especially Gaston, as their relationship became truly tested. Although he had seemed a little standoffish at first, it was great to see him finally put his heart on the line and fall in deep love with Frederica.

This is a great sizzling action-adventure series. Both books are well written, the characters are engaging and readers will enjoy their erotic and fun adventures. This is my first time of reading this author and I will surely be hunting down more books.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

After reading Bound by Buccaneer, book two in the Pirates of the Jolie Rouge trilogy by Normandie Alleman, I can easily describe my feelings in one word – delicious.

The relationship between Frederica and Gaston was so loving that I found myself smiling throughout the book. Ms. Alleman created such fascinating, three-dimensional characters that I was intrigued by everything they did. Frederica was a tremendous character with style, sass and an independent nature that was not common during this time period. But I couldn’t help but admire her and I loved that fact that even in the masculine world of pirating, she was able to maintain her femininity. Gaston rocked my world with his dominant nature and overwhelming sex appeal.

Let’s not forget all of that steamy, hot sex. Ms. Alleman’s imagination knows no bounds and I am just happy to be along for the ride. Each sex scene left me hot and bothered until I was a wet mess by the end of the book. In addition to the BDSM inspired nights between Frederica and Gaston, we are treated to an unbelievably erotic group scene that amped the lustiness to a whole new level.

While this is the second book in the series, I had no difficulty following along despite not having read the first book. However, I find myself unwilling to say goodbye to this dynamic couple and I am so curious as to how they met that I will now have to go back and read Rescued by the Buccaneer.

Normandie Alleman just keeps me falling for the sea! This second installment to Pirates of the Jolie Rouge had me enthralled in the insights of living with a pirate. It's been two years since Frederica has joined Gaston and their chemistry just keeps increasing. While day to day is happy, the past is creeping up to haunt Gaston, and the only way to keep safe is to align with three others. And payment would be Frederica for a night!!! Will he let the love of his life be with these three men? Will she agree to it? And if it happens, will either be able to live with themselves? I loved this. It's got some real sweetness mixed into a passion filled story. Alleman has given each character such distinct personalities, it's a blast getting to know them. I give Frederica such kudos for her part, I am not sure I would have been understanding! And I love the reaction of all the men. It's got some suspense filled scenes that bring it all home and set us up for the third book in the trilogy, and I can't wait to listen to it.

Piers Ryman is fantastic as a pirate. He sounds exactly as I expect each to sound, and he delves into each so much that you would think there are multiple people narrating. I loved his performance and look forward to more of his story telling.

Gaston and Freddie find themselves in a relatively blissful existence, discovering new land and new pleasures. In joining the crew of the Ocean's Knave, Freddie succeeds in showing them that she is more than capable of doing anything onboard. She talks Gaston into stealing from other pirates' ships, rather than innocent victims. Great idea, but it's making them too many enemies and they head to the Bahamas to find some back-up. He strikes a deal with 3 other ships' captains and they will only help him if they can have a night with Freddie. He knows the consequences of sharing her, but he has no choice. He didn't see the jealouy coming and there is no doubt in his mind that he is going to make her his, fully and forever. Life has settled, or so it seems. Gaston is asked to go on a mission to capture Captain Humphry, and to bring him back alive. 
Piers Ryman has the perfect voice for each of the pirates and Freddie. His narration makes the story come alive!

I don't know what is there to be reviewed in erotica 😂 Sometimes I just like to read some smut.As long as the sex is consented and the content descent,I am fine with it.
Take it as an erotica though (reviewed as one) and expect only as much.It doesn't go deep neither in writing nor in plot,but I assume no one is gonna read it for those listed reasons,so all well 🤭😝

I liked this one and I was actually hoping for it to be a poly romance. All four of them had a great chemistry. I guess it could have gone badly but everything ended up well. It was a great journey.

I also liked the balance in the relationship and the main characters themselves. A lot of feelings in this one with a mix of plot and spice.

I think that the reason the average rating is higher for this book than the previous is because everyone who didn't like the first one, didn't read #2. Put me in that camp as well. More intrigue, more angst, but less action, heroics, and sex. I won't read the third.

Have you ever dreamed of pirates and fetishes? Can you imagine pirates, foursome and spanking? Read Frederica's adventures, and you will encounter this and more!

BOUND BY THE BUCCANEER is book two of a trilogy and I would not recommend it without reading book one first. The story has a progression that would be hard to understand without the foundation of setting and plot that comes from book 1.

Frederica and Gaston are such well-rounded characters that it's very easy to connect with them. Ms. Alleman's characters are strong on their own, and even stronger as a united force. The author has masterfully explored Gaston's emotions this time around and I am not disappointed. Gaston is adorable!

This is a fast-paced novella that takes the readers into the wonderful adventures of pirating around the Caribbean sea and of sexual discovery. At the same time this book is painting new lands and new treasures, and taking Frederica into a self-discovery journey that she could never have dreamed of as an English lady.

This book is hot! Panty-wetter, scorching hot! The passionate scenes are very well described without being vulgar. It's sexy and romantic at the same time.

I'm already sad Ms. Alleman is going to end this series in the next book. The characters are amazing, and I will miss them. I know the author has several great characters to continue this tales of the seas. I will be looking forward to this!

I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys petticoat and corsets as much as a crop and ropes!

A SOLID 4.5 STARS!

THIS WAS TRULY A RIVETING HISTORICAL EROTICA WHICH IS RARE! I AM GLAD TO CONTINUE THE ADVENTURES OF FREDERICA AND GASTON. I DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS A TRILOGY AND YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE MY EXHILARATION.

Since you may have already read the first book I won't go into details about their CHARACTERS just know that this second one was way hotter than the first because Gaston agrees to share Freddie with Three other captains. Now normally I don't like to read M/M/F/M scenes it's just not my thing and I didn't expect it here. So when I come across that scene, I just turn off my feelings and enjoy the smut.

DO I APPROVE OF WHAT GASTON DID? NOPE. THAT WAS STUPID. Just because his pride is smarting that the pirates are accusing him of being led by the balls or pussy whipped, he lets them fuck her. Not cool man.

BUT FOR OUR SMUTTY BENEFIT, IT WAS WORTH IT.

I do not see what all the hype is about. This book is at the top of many listopia and I just don't get it. The romance is not so sexy it qualifies as erotica so let's just take it off the Erotica Listopias altogether please. I guess there is a little bit of kink in it because the "heroine" (who is a dingbat by the way) gets spanked and her hands tied a time of two but it is within the context of being a prisoner on a pirate ship, so not really that kinky (except for the epilogue).

Can we talk about the characters please?
The Captain, Humprey -this notoriously evil pirate captain punishes the heroine by giving her orgasms??? That doesn't seem to fit with the murderous beast that ordered the deaths of an entire ship of passengers. Especially when he is sexually frustrated. Seems like he would be a little more spiteful and merciless with his punishments. Doesn't quite add up.

The heroine, Fredrika- her personality vacillates between being a mouthy sheltered virgin and a obedient wanton survivor. The gap between these two personas is none existent. She isn't very clever and she whines a lot but she doesn't put up a fuss if a pirate or prisoner wants to give her a orgasm, never mind that she is a virgin. Hmmmmm... I'm not buying it.

The hero, Gaston -I just couldn't get a grasp of his character. He was all over the map. The book says that he is a Frenchman but he uses contemporary speak mixed with old fashion English and Scottish ("Aye, I wager it does"). He has an eye patch, dread locks and a golden beard (unlike the picture on the cover of a clean cut buff guy.) When he speaks to Fredrika he finishes his statements with "my dear" and its sounds so awkward. I kept envisioning Cary Grant with a french accent, a golden beard, an eye patch and dread locks. It didn't really work for me.

I thought this book was choppy, inconsistent, random and moderately steamy. It was a fast read but it was a waste of brainpower. Disappointed.

So in love with Gaston and Frederica! This is book two of their adventures. Frederica convinces Gaston to steal from other pirates instead of innocent people having to lose their lives. This obviously puts a price on their heads so the solution is to come up with an alliance with 3 other ships.
While in negotiations, Gaston gets called on the carpet for riding Freddie's coattails. Having to keep up appearances as a tough pirate, he offers her to them for a day. She will have to take all three men on at once for this merger to go through. Not only does he have to explain that to her, he has to suffer the consequences afterwards.
Being completely pigheaded and jealous(being a man) he stays angry at her and drinks himself into oblivion. Then tragedy occurs when the ship is attacked, is it to late to realize how much he loves and needs het? Then he is faced with an offer that may be the deadliest job he has ever taken on.
Cannot wait for the next book! Smoking hot sex scenes and an amazing storyline! What more could you ask for?

It had it's moments and was enjoyable overall! Gaston and Frederica are just as hot for each other as ever, and we start out with an exchange of their startling affection

In this installment, which, if you haven't read the first you don't need to, the back story is given and this stands on it's own, Gaston has to struggle with his feelings. That is right, our dreaded pirate has his man card called into question and makes a rash decision. Luckily, our fair, er ah, maiden, handles it better than him, but her naivete also leaves her confused.

Gaston finally gets his situation figured out and makes moves towards ensuring his HEA, and Frederica is always game for whatever Gaston wants!

It was fun, but had some emotional moments, and exciting and a grand adventure - can't wait for the three of the trilogy and the evil Humphrey being brought to justice!

Bound

The adventures of Gaston and Freddie continue. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop more, see the trials they face at sea and how they work them out. There are hot scenes that seem to just get better. I liked the secondary characters, especially Hatch.

Warning - contains BDSM, bondage, spanking, anal and multiple partners.

This was a hot pirate love story about Gaston, a pirate with a heart and a soft spot for Freddie. I loved the crew and it was nice to see the human side of the pirates. The sex scenes were hot and the wedding scene brought tears to my eyes. I cannot wait to see if Miles finds his long lost love....and it would be nice to see Hatch have something good happen in his life.
