2.75 'expected more' Stars
Perla Mercurio and Dr. Mathias Keene have been separated by outside forces. Every obstacle has been created to keep them separated by time and distance. Are they bound to be apart forever?
When I finished book two I couldn't wait to read book three. I was anticipating whats gonna happen next because I believed I would be blown away. Book two ended with a huge cliffy that I started imagining the things that might happen next. And that there my friend is my problem. I expected too much. Both previous book blew me away but this one was Meh!
"I felt a fullness, like I had to pee"
First things first, I'm I the only one who thought this was weird? I mean come on, she's comparing his cock inside her to peeing....hmmm..not so romantic.
Perla confused me, she either knew who she had feelings for or didn't. In the beginning I was rooting for Shay. Matt became a dick after all that's happened. I mean I understand what he's going through but..
Then all of a sudden Shay became 'different'.
I was worried on how and where this story was going. I hoped that it would 'knock me off my feet' but instead I was disappointed. This was a great read but this is just my personal thought. The author did an outstanding job but I'm sorry I couldn't give it more. Overall, Thanks again Ms.Rey for these amazing arcs that I got to read and hopefully I get to read more of your work.

Lots of secrets unfold in this final part with plenty of action and suspense.
Perla finally meets her abductors on the plane and is totally shocked with who it is.
Brady / Shay is totally obsessed with Perla he has been since she was sixteen and wanting her for himself having grown up together.
Brady / Shay asks her for one week to make her fall in love with him and Perla has no choice but to agree. Does she fall in love with him or is her heart always going to always belong to Matt?
I loved Perlas character she was a very strong independent intelligent young business woman, who knew how to handle herself in a difficult situation. She was head strong and always thought things through.
Perla had me guessing the whole of the second part of the book not knowing what she had up her sleeve with the board members.
Matt well he was still the swoon worthy doctor, masterful and dominant always wanting control.
We did not get so much from Matt in this book but enough of his sexy behaviour and character came through.
A great conclusion at the end just shows how clever Perla was.

ARC kindly provided by this awesome author in exchange for an honest review!
Were do I even start?! Rosemary was a new author when I read her first book Rebound. And I sure am glad I found her because I loved this series!! She's an amazing author and will take time out of her day to talk to you! Such a great person!
Perla would have to be one of my favorite book heroines. She is smart and I really loved how she stuck to her guns and stood up to everyone!! She is a strong woman and she can keep her calm in intense situations. I had loved Matt in the other books but I hated him in this one! He was a major asshole and I definitely wouldn't of put up with any of his crap at all for any reason!!
I actually had started to feel sorry for Brady/Shay until everything came out on what all he did! And I never even saw that coming!
This book had lots of drama and suspense and your constantly wondering what Perla is up to and what's going to happen next. The ending was great and I can't wait to see what else Rosemary will write in the future!
If you thought the first 2 books were good then you have to read this one!!!! (Oh and check out her other book Flame while your at it!)

Love, love, loved this trilogy!! I am so happy with how it ended!!!
April 10, 2017
Perla completely carried this book for me. She is a tough, smart, kick-ass character. She is kidnapped at the start of the book and we think we finally know the complicated corporate intrigue that has plagued Perla and Matt from the start and all tied up with the Pentagon Group. But no! There was more and the conclusion of it was brilliantly woven and revealed and I loved how it's all Perla's doing. We find out Brady is crazy in love with Perla and has control issues with watching her from afar, but he doesn't really KNOW Perla as a real person. So his psyche is totally fascinating and he should be the villain but he's not because he's so complicated. Can't wait for his story after understanding his odd relationship with Perla and what's behind it.
I even understood how Perla was a bit confused by Brady's attention. It was extreme, confusing and in some ways flattering. But this wasn't really a love triangle. She didn't really doubt her love for Matt. What it did show her was how fast she and Matt got together and how much she didn't know about him. She learned more about him from others around them than from Matt himself and it made her doubt things and her own insecurities to interfere. Which seemed entirely natural to me.
What frustrated me was half Matt's issues could have been answered if they had at any point simply sat down and had a conversation. There were points in the story I wasn't sure if they were together or not, yet she was meeting Matt's parents. He was angry at her most of the book and even in the end didn't seem to understand or care why Perla needed her job at Pentagon. Her self-confidence and self-esteem needed the executive job but he didn't really seem to get that. Books 1 and 2 he had been crazy into her and almost over the top trying to see to her happiness, even if he wasn't sure how to do so, he acted out of a need to make her happy. This book? I didn't see his connection to her. He breaks out with his control issues and uses sex to punish her. I wanted these two to explore that side of their relationship as something positive and hot between them, not as way for Matt to literally punish her.
But it was hard to say goodbye to these two after such an amazing trilogy with so much that happened and so much woven into it.
But as usual with this author there is something so compelling about her writing that one can't stop reading it and the stories are always full of surprises and twists and leave you ready to pick up her next book that very moment.

Wow what a great series
This one was a little rough to read. If you've read the first two book u know that Matt and pearla are the main characters and they've had to go thru A LOT of stuff to be and stay together. This book was hard to read because Matt was mostly always kind in his pursuit of pearla, but by now he was getting sick of the struggle and waiting and he was pretty awful to her "punishing her" but not in the fun way. I admired how they both stayed strong, but jesus, I woulda thrown in the towel by then. It was almost emotionally exhausting to read. I was so glad for the 'happily ever after '. Unfortunately, the next book is supposed to be about Brady so I won't be reading it. I'm not sure he deserve a happily ever after so I don't want.to read about it. :(

Wait! What?
I couldn't put it down (who needs sleep, right?) The plot twists were amazing. I just had a problem with one thing.... Matt's attemps to control Perla. I liked it so much more when he relinquieshed control over to her. And and the end it wasn't clear if he got to accep her independence or if she submited to him. I feel torn about that.

I was provided a copy of the book by the Author for an honest review.
Wow I just finished reading this book, and I have to say that I didn't want to finished it, I felt in love with this series since I read the first book. And I took my sweet time reading this one, cause I knew it was the ending of the series, but I have to say that this was a great ending to the series, I love how the book turned out to be, and love the characters, this book is full of surprises and twist, it got me mad most of the time with the main male character cause of the way he was acting but I love every single minute of it. I'm going to keep this short since I don't want to give anything away.
The story picks up right where the second book finished, With Perla being kidnapped, when Perla woke up she found herself on a jet with her hand tied up, but her biggest shock was to see who was seating in front of her, while on the net Perla was forming a way how to escape, the second surprised she got was when they told her that she had arrived to Dominican Republic, where her mother was born, the third surprised was when she met the owner of the mansion they had her captive, while all of this was going Matt was going crazy trying to find her, once Perla was out of danger, they send the company a fax informing that Perla was safe and will returned home on certain day. One she was home Matt and her relationship was being tested, Matt gave her ultimate time to make decisions, the truth started to come out and a news that turned Perla and Matt life upside down once again will they finally get their happily ever after.
I love the way how Perla and Matt are with each other, love it that how Matt wants to control everything, Perla don't let him I love it how she stand up to him, and how they test each other out.
I really love and enjoy reading this series, I wanted more Author Rosemary Rey THANK YOU for introducing me to this awesome, amazing series and characters I love it.

You’ve finished book two and you think you know everything, but really what you think you know again is totally wrong. It all fit together perfectly in book two right? Right? Well…maybe. Book three is a bit of a slower ride from books one and two but you will not be left disappointed because why would life slow for Matt and Perla?
I don’t want to give anything away because the beauty in reading this book without knowing is the best way to read it. But one thing, no matter what happened throughout all three books, I fell in love with Brady in this book and I don’t completely understand everything but I do understand that his love knows no bounds and it’s sweet.
Matt and Perla are meant for one another they even each other out. I wish they would have spoken more to one another about things but that’s just not their way. In the past we’ve seen Perla dominate the bedroom and in this one, your in for a treat and it involves the hot dominate Dr. Mathias.
From book one I’ve been a lover of all things written by Rosemarie Rey. I haven’t kept that a secret either. It’s ALWAYS nice to find that one indie author who can write something that makes you think, swoon, and keep you on the edge of your seat craving for more.
I have over a thousand books on my kindle cloud, only a few make it to my actual shelf in my reading room. Those books are the ones that I fell in love with, that I would re-read, or that I would recommend to anyone who asked. I’ve got maybe close to 50 on my shelf most of them are signed but they are all something that I would recommend to readers, now I just need these books to add to my shelf….

*i received it as an ARC in exchange of an honest review*
WOW!!!!!! I loved, loved, loved it!!! What an end for this amazing trilogy! We knew from the previous books that Perla and Matt's relationship was not a breeze but in Bound it becomes a full blown tornado!!! Well written with a creative plot and lots of twists, you find yourself in a thrilling story!!! Rosemary Rey really makes you work for that happy ending! This book was a great read but especially remarkable for me, because it pinpointed out all the existing problems with romance in society! Perla's uncertainty and instability defines very well the dilemma of women nowadays but with the extent headache and responsabilties of the business world, Matt also revealed the problematic for men, in his want to be gentle and understanding while retaining his need to stay in control!!!
A wonderful roller coaster that makes you smile as much as frown, makes you doubt, wonder and fan yourself thanks to the heat factor still very high!
I never wanted it to end! I would love to see what happens to all the other members of the pentagon group!
Rosemary Rey did not disappoint!!! An Amazing book! Two thumbs high in the air!!!!!

Sorry to say that I much preferred the first two books in this trilogy. I even re-read them before reading this one as I was fuzzy on the details and I really enjoyed the first two.
I wasn't into the love triangle introduced in this book. There was too much 'stuffed' into it and the epilogue felt rushed and jumbled.
I lost a sense of who Perla was in this book. She was such a solid character in the first two books and in this she was all over the place. I found it a bit messy and a bit of a disappointment to be honest.
The things I liked about Matt went right out the window in this one and it's like Rey was playing 'catch up' to have him conform to other popular erotic romance characters. I really felt that the author lost touch with her protagonists in this one.
Brady may as well have had multiple personality disorder and I couldn't understand Perla's back and forth about him.
In the end we get our HEA, but was it worth it? Was it worth the wait for book 3? Not really.
A somewhat disappointing conclusion to what had promised to be an intriguing trilogy. Ultimately not living up to its potential.

The Pentagon Group is a series I’ve been addicted to since reading the first book. Each part leaves you longing….desperate to uncover what’s going to happen next due to the ongoing developments. Just when you start believing you have this plot fathomed out, Rosemary adds something new, intensifying the whole story, heightening the curiosity for the reader.
The series started out to what seemed to be a basic tale of love, but soon transformed into something way beyond. The author’s style of writing and her way of enhancing the story takes you on an enthralling journey of twists/turns and revelations, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
Bound, the last book in this gripping series doesn’t disappoint, it throws everything at you. There are highs/lows, secrets and deceit, all escalating to the final showdown in this riveting series. You will be hooked till the very last page. Desperate to discover if Matt & Perla’s love is strong enough to survive the conflicts of The Pentagon group, or will everything they have found be destroyed and lost forever in this nail biting finale.

This book continues the story of Perla and Matt from ReboundUnbound.
I really liked this book and I loved that Rosemary Rey continued with the two points of view, like in Unbound.
I thought that Brady was going to redeem himself by saving Perla, but I hate him for what he put her through. I really think they should have arrested him.
All the Pentagon men and women have too much access to lawyers and money. They don't know how to solve things without them.
In the end, I would have liked a bigger epilogue without immediate time jump. I felt like everyone was mad with each other throughout the book and then solved it with a few sentences in a few pages.
All in all, a great trilogy by Rosemary Rey.

I was given a copy of this book with the promise of writing an honest review. This is my honest review of Bound: The Pentagon Group, Book 3 by Rosemary Rey
In my last review of Unbound, I wrote that Rosemary Rey was the queen of twists and cliffhangers. I had no idea how big of an understatement that really was until I started book 3. Within the first few pages, I had my first "Oh shit!" moment, and there were many more to follow! Rosemary is the QUEEN MOTHER of plot twists, no doubt about it.
We picked up right where book 2 left off and took off on a fast paced roller coaster ride of lies, manipulation, love and lust, with a whole lotta crazy thrown in there too!
Even after reading the first 2 books in the series, Bound had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Words cannot describe it, you simply must read it.

WOW! I absolutely loved this series. And I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to read Rosemary Rey's books. I re-read Rebound and Unbound before I read Bound just because it had been a little while since I read the first two and I wanted the whole story. I must say this book had me on edge the whole time. And I absolutely loved that I couldn't figure it out. I thought it was masterfully crafted. I don't want to go into more for fear of revealing more to the story and I think part of the reason I loved it is because in all three books there was something that I didn't expect. I really can't say enough about this author. If you haven't read any of her books give her a chance. I really don't think you will be disappointed.

WOW! I was excited when I saw that the third book was available and couldn’t wait to read. And I was NOT disappointed. I have enjoyed all of the books in the Pentagon Group series. Bound wraps up the story of Perla and Matt. This book was no slouch in the surprises that presented. Perla finds herself kidnapped and has to rely on an ally that is unexpected. Brady comes to help Perla when Matt can’t. I didn’t know whether I wanted Brady to help Perla or yell at her to make a run for it. Matt is still hoping that he can make a future with Perla. Without giving away all of the juicy details, all I can say is prepare to spend the night completing this book. The entire series is fantastic so grab it up today.

I loved this whole series but this was a great ending to the trilogy. I have read and loved every book of Rosemary Rey and this one didn't disappoint, I think it maybe my favorite. I am a little sad that it is over, I love Matt, Perla, and Brady/Shay. What I really like about Perla is that she is a strong, independent woman who won't let anyone walk all over her now, she refuses to live like she has done in the past, even if it breaks her heart. This whole series has had me hooked and I was so excited to finally be able to read this one. I loved watching the mystery unravel and finding out who Perla will choose. I was given an ARC for a fair and honest review.

Can two hard-headed people get passed their stubborness?
Book three of the Pentagon Series gave me a mixture of emotions...anger,pity,surprise & shock! So much happenning from the beginning until the end...an endless adventure and discovery of well-hidden secrets.Perla and Matt were constantly struggling to stay together but both making huge mistakes along the way (I would have gladly slapped them silly many times during the story!!!).A novel about loss,trust,lust & love...all in intense measures.This book offers its readers a whirlwind of events which make you wonder when the suspense is going to come to an end...I rate this ARC, which had me on edge, 4.5 stars.

Arc provided for an honest review.
Rosemary Rey did a good job with her latest work. This book kept me on the edge from the start. I loved the character developing especially in case of Perla. In this latest book loved her character the most, however i can't tell the same about Matt.His actions sometimes made me angry. Unfortunatelly we dont get much actions from the secondary characters like Gill and Carson like in the previous book. All in all It was a very enjoyable read.

I received an ARC for an honest review. First let me say I liked the first 2 of the series and recently read them again. I found that I like them even more now!
Bound had lots of twists and turns and at first had me wanting it to go a completely different way. It definitely kept my attention! I loved the ending and I'm sad the series ended. I would love to see a spin off.

My jaw is still on the floor after reading this book. I was secretly rooting for Brady/Shay and Perla but ultimately the love story of Perla and Matt won me over. That was the point of the book and it was made loud and clear. The twists and turns kept me turning pages. Perla really shines in this final book and I am secretly hoping for a fourth book to turn up.
April 22, 2015
I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. The characters were entertaining. The story had so many twists and turns that I couldn't wait for the next book to be released to find out what happened next by hank you Rosemary for giving me the opportunity to read and comment on your books!
May 26, 2015
Wow the story kept you going. Perla was kidnapped. Her kidnapper had in DR. Her husband is trying to find her. The story kept you going. It was making me so emotional and takes you in crazy circles. Loved it.

Wow! Bound was worth the wait! The machinations of Brady, the stubbornness of Matt, the revelations about Perla and her family, it all comes together in an explosive final read.
If you love Sylvia Day and Lorelei James, check out Rosemary Rey's complete trilogy. You will not be disappointed!

Bound: The Pentagon Group, Book 3
The final book – what can I say – it was brilliant, full of surprises.
The story starts off with Perla’s Kidnapping and the twist which will floor you, expect the un-expected. This book is full of surprises and sometimes you will want to fling that kindle across the floor. Relax you don’t, you are hooked so you keep reading and you cant stop. I am not going to give too much away – but this book really sums up everything for you.
Do you get a HEA – of course you do, after lots of holding your breath, you get it.
One hell of a story that I really enjoyed as this author shows her business savy ideas and plots
Congratulations Rosemary Rey – this was brilliant.

The third and final book of Rosemary Rey’s Pentagon Series does not disappoint. It jumps right in with Perla’s kidnapping and has a twist I didn’t see coming. As it turns out, people aren’t always what they appear to be. Throughout the books, the author has mentioned people here and there that have blended in with the background. Occasionally one of these people come into the forefront with a bit of their story. That is where I found myself going back through the other two books to refresh my memory. Almost re-reading them again, they are that good!
I loved the conflict between Matt and Perla. They absolutely adore each other and know there are a number of challenges that they can either walk away from, or stay and work through them. Neither one of them are quitters and I admire that the author gave them the opportunity to make choices and was able to show the vitality of their relationship.
My anxiety was elevated quite a few times in this book, as it had been in the 2 previous books.
Perla is a resilient and loyal woman. She stays true to herself and Matt when faced with the knowledge that she could potentially lose everything. Once she is able to piece together the evidence, it doesn’t take long for her to realize the enormity of previous events that have happened to her over the last few years. She seems so realistic, as if she could be a friend to the reader. So often I feel authors write the “ideal” or a “perfect” situation for their books. People get sick, get angry, forgive and love each other. I like that Rosemary’s writings are not to the norm of her genre.
Rosemary’s law background takes the story to a whole different level. There’s the romance/ertoica side, but the story goes much deeper. The details are incredible! I think others will be able to picture the story quite vividly. It’s like a movie in your head. I kept thinking how Rosemary decided to go one way with the storyline vs another, and after you’ve read the book, you realize there couldn’t have been a better outcome. It was awesome!
I know she says the Matt and Perla story is finished, however, one can only hope that her other books will touch a little on the continuation of their lives. Rosemary Rey has quickly become one of my favorite authors! I now feel the desire to write reviews for the authors whose books I connect with. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world, literally. :)
Read this series, it’s fabulous! Her other book, Flame is just as good :) xo

Review of Bound (The Pentagon Group #3) by Rosemary Rey
4 ½ out of 5 stars
Bound, The Pentagon Group #3, picks up right where book 2 left off. Perla has been kidnapped and Matt is on a rampage to find her.
Two days after Matt and Perla are married, two strange men escort her off the job site she was working at. Matt and his investigators cannot find a trace of her.
A horrible person from Perla’s past is responsible for kidnapping her, but her biggest surprise is who’s house she is taken to: Brady’s.
In book 2, Brady is revealed to actually be one of her friends from when she was 12 years old. He has been in love with her ever since. During her kidnapping, Brady shows up at the house and saves her. He confesses his undying love for her and tries to convince her to give him a chance to show her that she should be with him.
However, not everything is as it seems. Ugly truths are revealed and the deceptions go much further than anyone could imagine.
Perla is confused by everything she has learned and is questioning her love for Matt. They both have made demands on the other and neither wants to back down.
Matt is struggling to keep his dominant side controlled while Perla wants to be in control of her life for once.
This is a fantastic series. Rosemary Rey has you guessing throughout the books about who did what, and what is going to happen next. There was lots of angst and suspense and also some sexy dominant males.
I didn’t completely love the characters. I thought Perla was too much about money even though she believes her actions were about redeeming herself and protecting everyone. In this book I thought Matt was too standoffish. He didn’t seem as caring to me.
I did thoroughly enjoy reading this whole series and I definitely recommend it to read.

Wow... what a rollercoaster!
I must say I'm truly exhausted by reading this series. When reading the first book, it seemed like a simple love story about a successful doctor and hard-working ex-dancer trying recover mentally and financially from her failed marriage. Most of the first book led the reader in that direction. Towards the end of the first book and throughout the second and third books, I was excited, confused, and amazed. So many unexpected twists and turns peppered with kinky, kinky sex scenes! I gave it four stars because I was so preoccupied with the rollercoaster of events and seemingly unending issues and drama, we missed out on the relationship between Perla and Matt. Their lack of communication sometimes bordered on ridiculous... in some instances I understood why, but in others it was unnecessary. In the end Perla impressed me with her strength, intelligence, and self preservation even when faced with possible loss. I loved the ethnic diversity amongst the characters and I enjoyed reading and understanding how Perla's and Matt's upbringing and life experiences determined how they handled their lives and situations each was faced with. A good read... definitely enjoyable.
