Arrogant, brooding, domineering, possessive, dangerously handsome, and a playboy. These are all of the characteristics on Rebecca Gellar’s Run-Like-Hell list for men, but she’s about to meet the 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 under her list.
Get ready for a battle of the sexes…
This book is intended for a mature audience 18+
***The final volume in this Erotic Romance Serial***
Vanessa Booke is a USA Today Bestselling Author of the Millionaire's Row Series. She loves writing about strong curvy women who fall in love, alpha males with filthy mouths, and sex scenes that don't fade to black. 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.
This one was definitely the hottest part of the serial. Holy Trinity of Hotness! I will probably go back and re-read those scenes because they are so well written and naughtily delicious!
Sadly those scenes are not enought to mend some - for me - strong weaknesses of the story, althought I wasn't as disappointed as I was of the second part where our leads behave that non-grown-up. Yes, your braing might not work at full capacity when a sex-god(dess) stands in front of you, but when they aren't ... but that's not exactly what happens in the book. The only one being stupid here is Becca for believing someone who obviously has an own agenda, but Nick is my hero.
This is officially a neatly wrapped package, but Amazon and Goodreads point out that there is a volume 4 part one and two, which I have mixed feelings about.
wait!!! that's it??? I want more! it was so good!! better than the first two for sure. that trilogy was way tooooooooo freaking short and it's sad. There were one or two things that didn't get resolved....which sucks because I would have liked to know how they turned out.....but I really enjoyed Nicholas and Rebecca and their story :)
Not the best novella series I've had the honor of reading, no, certainly not, but still...
In fact, it got better and better with every new volume.
While I've really enjoyed Rebecca and Nicolas' sweet love story, the one hidden behind their's was the one that actually got my attention: Tristan and Em.
I really like this series. What a great continuation of Rebecca and Nicolas! Although they had an insta-lust/love from the first book, sometimes it just works. This one definitely worked for me!
Rebecca and Nick try to fight their attraction/connection to each other. Nick's father has a pre-arranged marriage for him with Alison the she-bitch because her father is a large investor in his publishing company. Nick has absolutely no feelings for her and has no desire to marry her. Rebecca is Nick's personal assistant and doesn't want to be the other woman and tries to stay away from Nick but the connection they have to each other just keeps pulling her back in.
Nick is forced to make a choice between marrying the she-bitch, or staying with Rebecca who he loves and losing his inheritance and the family made publishing company.
While I was happy with the outcome, it left me with some questions that hopefully will be answered in the next installment.
"One day, you're going to love someone more than the fuckin' air you breathe, and when that day comes, I want you to tell her. Tell her the moment you realize you do. Don't wait, even if you think it's one-sided. Tell her anyway."
"Rebecca, I need you. I need you underneath me. I need to be inside of you. Right now, it's the only thing that makes sense to me in this world."
"There's no need denying it. I'm going to make you mine, even if it's the last thing I do."
I loved first 2 books,and i expected this to be 5 star but it was not.Why?
-unfinished story,yes it have HEA but other things left unfinished like:did Nick will get his company back?what happen with Alice and his father?? -Epilogue seemed rushed,it's after few days for me was major dislike ,i will loved if we see Nick and Becca after few years with kids and married. -Rebecca i loved her in first 2 books,in the 3 book not so much. -It was boring,first 2 books i read in one sitting.
I really enjoyed this series and loved their romance. you should be able to love who you want and not who others want you to be with. Loved this series and it was a great book.
Oh, at last I know if this couple gets their happy ending! ;o)
I liked to be inside Nicholas' mind which helped me understand his detachment from fulfilling relationships. The scope of the novel is also broadened thanks to some flashbacks, though it was bittersweet to read about that particular character.
Things get pretty intense which got me glued to my e-reader. Despite all that is at stake, Nicholas finally realizes his feelings for Rebecca. I love it when a man's reluctance just explodes into fierce determination to keep his woman.
The battle is on, though. Many obstacles conspire against them from family commitments to Rebecca's denial that Nicholas can possibly feel anything for her.
Sometimes during all the parts of the serial I felt a bit annoyed at what seemed to be a chapter cut off at a good moment that was never followed up in the next chapter. Of course, we get to know what happens but only as a memory recounted by a character. Despite that, the author makes it work and the pace and flow are really good, and I enjoyed the quality of the writing. The scenes combined a real struggle of a couple fighting against bad odds, a hot chemistry, and well-planned dialogues and character dynamics.
There is a lot of twisted emotion over the fact that their love is always deemed a mistake. It was really maddening but exciting to see them struggle over their feelings.
Painful and romantic at the same time, the ending of this thoroughly entertaining love story left me satisfied and happy. What's more, other hot characters that became important throughout the serial will have their own chance at love in DRAWN TO YOU. How wonderful is that!
Review for Bound to You Volume 3 (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.
How bittersweet… I feel like I’m losing some of my favorite characters with the beginning and the end of Bound to You Volume 3. I don’t even know how to write this review. Days later I’m still hungover from this ending. It was everything I could have hoped for and so much more. If you haven’t read the first two in the series yet then you need to pick those up prior to reading this one, otherwise you will not get the full awesomeness that is Nicholas and Rebecca.
This review is going to be short and sweet because I do not trust myself to not give plot twists away. Nicholas and Rebecca haven’t had an easy relationship; there are so many things holding them back from being together and the heartache and tension because of those obstacles literally had me on the verge of tears over and over again.
The beauty that is them - together - it’s the kind of intense, consuming love that everyone dreams of. Tristan really described it best… “You love fiercely.” —- “But it’s one of your best qualities.” and that IS Nicholas. Le sigh.
If there were more than five stars to give I would throw them all at this book, this serial as a whole… just amazing! FIVE FULL stars for storyline and FIVE drenched panties for smut factor. Certified Mommy’s a Book Whore MUST read now!
So y'all know we have been waiting been waiting for BTY vol 3 fooooreverrrr lol not really but you know how impatient FANGIRLS work. So anyways how can I put this lightly if you do not read this book as soon as you can what are you waiting for! because you truly missing out on one of the great book BFs out there I kid you not! I love Nicholas Stonehaven though the galaxies, through a black hole, through the second quadrant of who knows and all the way back again! This story is amazing the characters are to die for and Nicholas is just the yummiest!
The thought of being Rebecca.... Oh my gosh for someone to love you that fiercely hello ovary explosion he is the sweetest!
And Rebecca I love her internal thoughts "is there some kind of hot-as-fuck-diet that only he seems to be aware of? " um apparently bc Nicholas is In a world all his own swooon!
Vanessa def knows how to make you wait for that one heated passionate moment and everything building up to it yummm yumm when he says “are you ready for me?” Hell yeah! Excuse while I combust in this very spot hot hot hot lol "I think we're done playing games, sweetheart. It's time to show you why I always win when I play." Take me I'm yours you can win every round!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Well I was all excited in the first two books but in the last one there was one thing that I didn't like and that's the reason why I give the last Volume
4.45 stars
The thing I didn't like was the epilogue. It was very fast. Like a lot of people I think that it would be much better if we knew what happened next. Like did Nicholas's father really took the company away from him? What happened to Alice? ( I hope she rots in hell) Did they got married and had kids?
Everything else was just great. I loved the way all of the Volumes were written. I loved the emotions that were brought into the book. I also loved the way Rebecca's best friend took care of her and the way she was so overprotective.
Also I was happy about Nicholas and the way he chose to be with Rebecca because he loves her.
I will definitely read the other Vanessa's books because I loved her work and I'm absolutely sure that her other books are amazing as these. <3
Highly addictive series! I just read all 3 parts within this last 24 hrs. and could not put them down! Nicholas & Rebecca's chance meeting on airplane is incredibly hot & romantic! Despite their intense attraction and a sensual kiss between these 2 strangers, Rebecca is recovering from a cheating ex and moving from LA to NYC, they exchange goodbyes. They never expected to see either other again, but fate has other plans! Nicholas Stonehaven is hot alpha playboy who works for his father's company, Stonehaven Publishing. He can't stop thinking about the fiery redhead with the beautiful curves, but when his father tells him he has to marry their biggest investor's daughter or lose everything, he has no choice but to agree, until Rebecca is hired on as his new assistant!
Author Vanessa Booke is a fantastic writer & a new favorite!
Highly recommend this series and I can't wait to read part 4, Tristan & Emily's story. They're Nicholas's best friend and his sister! I'm super stoked to read their stories! Happy Reading! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❤Tiffany@Red Shoes Erotic Book Reviews
4-4.5 stars... Wow..I really liked this series! This is a new author for me, and I will definitely add her to my list! Once again, Nick and Rebecca try to run from their feelings. Honestly, the only reason this didn't get 5 stars from me, is because there were some key parts that I really think/wished she would have expanded on. Their chemistry is fantastic. I laughed out loud, and cried. I missed my buss stop on the way to work, and home! Dammit..could not put this book down! It's a great series! I cannot wait for Tristan!
OK..... SO ONCE AGAIN I STOP A BOOK THAT IM READING TO READ THIS VOLUME..... I JUST LOVE THIS SERIES.... I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS BOOK BUT I DONT WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR ANY ONE!!! ONCE AGAIN VANESSA BOOKE YOU DID IT!! LOVE THESE BOOKS SO MUCH!!!
I loved this series!! I'm so sad that this is the last book for Nicholas and Rebecca! I really need more.. Like the wedding? The future of the company? His ex-fiancé?? Soo many unanswered questions I still have. I need more!!
Esta es la tercera parte de "Bound to you". En realidad las tres partes conforman la novela entera solo que la autora (o quien sea) decidió dividirla.
Personalmente creo que las divisiones no tienen sentido y que se disfrutaría mucho más del tirón. La segunda parte deja muy mal al protagonista masculino, que en la primera ni tan mal y en esta vuelve a estar "ni tan mal".
Es un instalove en el que los dos se tienen unas ganas tremendas y al final la relación parece que se basa únicamente en el sexo, la libido que se les sube a ambos cada vez que se ven y los pobres no pueden hacer nada con sus hormonas para no ponerse a frincar en cualquier lugar ya sea el despacho de uno o la terraza de un evento multitudinario.
Creo que la idea es interesante, dentro de que hay mil historias de jefe millonario y asistente que se lían, el tema de que la protagonista no tenga un cuerpo normativo y sus inseguridades que se ven aplacadas por el amor es bonito.
Aun así no me ha terminado de enamorar, le doy tres estrellas por los pelos porque me ha entretenido y no está mal pero habría preferido que estuvieran las tres historias en un solo libro.
This is the third 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.

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.

With fierce and loyal friends like Carol and Tristan pushing them in the right direction , not everyone is against their relationship . We get to experience the deep , caring , loving and protective side of Nicholas , it makes it almost impossible for Rebecca to stay away from him .

And so the waiting for it begins ;) wishing you a happy reading from a very happy and satisfied fan !
I was really nervous about reading this last book in the Bound to You trilogy. I knew I would still love the characters, but I was anxious about whether the book will end well and live up to the anticipation the author has been building. The book was everything I’ve been hoping for and more! It was a perfect conclusion to Rebecca and Nicholas’s story.
Rebecca Gellar once thought Nicholas StoneHaven was a narcissistic bastard who didn’t care about anyone but himself. But after getting to know him, she sees that Nicholas wasn’t the guy she first thought he was. He’s kind, sweet, and he’s the first guy to ever make her feel like she’s precious. At the same time, she’s coming to realize she’s wants more. She doesn’t want to cling to a man about to be married. She wants to come first for once in her life. She wants Nicolas to choose her. But what will that mean for his future in his fathers’ company?
Nicholas can no longer deny it. He has fallen deep for Rebecca and doesn’t want a future where she’s not in it. He doesn’t know what the future holds for him, but he knows one thing. He wants his future to be with Rebecca. Always. Even if that means making a big decision that will change his life—forever. He might risk losing everything he thought he wanted, but he knows he’s gaining so much more.
This book is amazing! The two books before this book were great, and I didn’t think the last book could be better than them, but I’m happy to say the books get better and better. This book was my favorite because I got the ending I was hoping for. Plus, all the questions I’ve been wondering were answered and I got to fall even more in love with Nicholas. Brilliant conclusion to this trilogy!
My favorite quotes:
“Marry the redhead. She’ll make you happy. Plus, any woman who has the fortitude to kick you n the balls is definitely worth fighting for.”
“We’re meant to be together. I tried fighting it. You tried fighting it, but we have to stop. It’s useless. Give in. I have.”
“One day, you’re going to love someone more than the f**kin’ air you breathe, and when that day comes, I want you to remember to tell her. Tell her the moment you realize you do. Don’t wait, even if you think it’s one-sided. Tell her anyway.”
Such a great conclusion to Nick and Rebecca's story. All along, I've loved the way Rebecca is so down-to-earth and easy to relate to. She is a complete realist and while her life isn't as stable as she'd like it to be, she's determined to get to that point because she is independent and self-sufficient. She's also learned not to count on other people, particularly guys, when life gets tough. Nick is so fascinating to me. He's got so much turmoil inside while he tries to run his father's business flawlessly and balance all of the things not right in his life. Up until now, he and Rebecca have a distinct chemistry that is hard to deny but also complicated to act upon. Nick might seem like a complete jerk, but being in his POV shows that he is more caring than anything. He has a lot to live up to, meeting his father's expectations, the guilt of his brother's absence, the emotional loss of his mother and looking after his sister. Add Rebecca to the mix along with a fiancee that he isn't interested in and Nick is up to his ears in complicated issues but he handles it as best as he can. What I loved about Nick was the process of seeing him come to terms with what he wanted in life and to go for it. Once he makes that choice, he is a true fighter, especially where Rebecca is concerned. Rebecca has her own set of obstacles that prevents her from completely giving in to Nick, aside from the obvious fact that he's engaged. Even though they aren't always direct with each other when they should be, there's still a certain element of honesty between them that doesn't exist in their interactions with Alison or Miles. Seeing Nick so vulnerable over Rebecca was sweet in the way that all she ever wanted was to be someone's first choice and priority, but at the same time, she didn't want him to give up everything for her because she knows how hard it can be to make such big sacrifices. I fell for Nick even more in this volume and he didn't disappoint in the least.
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, Volume 3 and I just loved it! What a great conclusion to a sexy story. You will definitely root for Rebecca and Nicholas. As you know this is a series, I highly recommend you reading this in order or you will be lost but to me honest so if you haven't read them yet, READ THEM NOW!! Following the story you know that Rebecca is Nicholas personal assistant. Their feelings from day one have been so hot but they cannot be together or at least they try not too! Nicholas is engaged to be married to Allison (VIPER!!!) He was given an ultimatum by his daddy to either marry Allison or he will be disinherited and lose the family business. Will he choose honor or will he choose love? You will have to read and see.
I really enjoyed this story. I loved the whole plot and was so happy to final get this story! The interaction between Nicholas and Rebecca is hot, and sexy. So much sexual tension, it just burns the pages! The secondary characters are amazing too. Love the interactions and cannot wait for more!!
The only complaint that I have is that it was predictable. You knew what was going to happen. I wanted a surprise factor. Dont smack me, seriously I still loved it!
Liked the book, loved how it ended, left a more detailed review on the series below book 2's page on GR, but still wanted to add something about the third volume. As much as I liked how everything played out, I found myself frustrated pretty much all the way through, due to the constant silly misunderstandings and hurried out reactions of the heroes. Especially Rebecca, with her "leaving/running before having all the facts straight" trademark.
And Nicholas dragging out the fact of his broken-off engagement till the veeeeery end, after he almost lost her completely. I mean, I realise that it is all done on purpose, to make it all the more suspenseful and nail-biting, but still - a bit too much for my nerves. Or maybe it's just my PMS talking, who knows. *bites on a chocolate bar* I can't wait to read Tristan's story, I must admit, I felt more intrigued in him as a main character, than in Nicholas. There's just something about those tall, dark, well-mannered and brooding types that is my kryptonite.
YES! What a fabulous conclusion to Rebecca and Nicholas' story. Of course, nothing is ever easy and Rebecca has to face her ex-fiance along with coping with Nicholas "technically" being engaged – really hate Allison. Nicholas knows what he wants be has a real problem communicating that to the right people. I love Rebecca's strength as she focuses on doing her job while keeping her distance from Nicholas because of Allison. Of course, Nicholas's Dad doesn't help the situation since he gives an ultimatum … AUGH! Oh, will these two figure it out? Will Nicholas defy family for his happiness? It's a fun ride that we get to take as the sparks continue to fly between Rebecca and Nicholas. Thank you Vanessa Booke for giving us such incredible characters to laugh, cry and swoon with.
Rebecca stars off leaving California because she finds her boyfriend cheating on her and needs a new start. She ran into millionaire playboy Nicholas StoneHaven on the plane and they both felt an instant attraction. During the series of books they have to be around each other all the time while Rebecca finds out Nichols is engaged to someone.
Book 3 brings everything to the surface with their true feelings and hot scenes they end up in with each other. This is a very sweet, sexy, and romantic book. Nicholas has to decide if he will go for love or follow his fathers wishes and marry for financial reasons.
I loved how Rebecca would stand up for herself and not let Nichols tell her what she could do while he is engaged to someone else.
WOW!! This was the best end to a serial.. It leaves you happy but also left where more can be written if wanted. Nicholas StoneHaven loves being a true confusing male and this volume is nothing short of HUH, WHAT, HOT.. Rebecca is still looking for her happy ever after, Miles is back will he be the one? Will she end up with Nicholas, does he really loss everything? Then there is Tristan OH man he is hot and opens his art gallery which we learn something a bit more about Tristan if you read between the lines. Vanessa creates a GREAT emotional roller coaster in the first two books but this one is just WOW!!!!!! Great Job Vanessa can't wait for the next book you release whatever it is and whenever I know it will be a must buy.
What can I say? I loved Rebecca, she never disappointed me, and I loved Nicholas, even though I didn't understand why was he dragging the thing so long?? He could have told his father sooner, made a press release or confessed his love to Rebecca...I loved the ending, but I would have loved a longer one, with some glimpse of their life together. I didn't understand as reader if his father did what he threatened to do in case Nicholas married Rebecca, how the bitch Alison and her father reacted...I would have loved more actually. That's why I give this one 4 of 5 stars!
I was kindly given this ARC for an honest review. I loved Nicholas and Rebecca's crazy all over the place relationship from book one. Their chemistry and pull toward each other is such a site to read. I love that Rebecca is such a spit fire and doesn't back down to him no matter what he throws at her. Nicholas is such a powerful sexy man and in this book you see such a different side to him almost a desperation for her and being torn to choose between her and the life and all the perks he knows now. I highly recommend this whole series it's such a great read. Great job Vanessa Booke what a great conclusion to Nicholas and Rebecca's story.
