Favorite Things #2
Bound
bound – adjective – restricted or confined to a specified person or place
It was amazing to me how one word could hold so many meanings. Not only did our lives have physical boundaries, both man-made and natural, but our hearts also held captive those we loved, binding our souls together for all eternity. So, when my playful husband pulls out the blindfold and cuffs, I don’t dare question the boundaries we might cross in bed, enjoying Josh and all his marvelously dominant qualities.
My name is Cari, and these stories are just some of the Favorite Things my husband and I love about each other.

Rene Folsom, author of contemporary and paranormal, lives in Florida with her husband and three kids. She has officially diagnosed herself with creative ADD and often has a million and one writing projects going at once. In addition to writing, she is also a graphic artist who enjoys creating custom book covers for indie authors. She is definitely an artist at heart and would love nothing more than to be elbow deep in clay during her waking hours.
Rene believes that all fiction is based on some form of reality—otherwise we would never have the inspiration or knowledge to dream up the realistic situations we portray with our words. She is proud to say that her personal experiences have been inspirational, though perhaps not always identical to that of her fictional characters. Where reality and fantasy diverge, however, must remain her little secret…

Let me tell you....if only half of the things in this book were true, it would be the only reading needed to make couples try new things. I am loving this world the authors are creating. Loving someone so much that you are not afraid to try anything with them because you know that you are loved must be nice.

These serials are always a nice treat. Something I don't mind spending a few pennies on for an hour of just enjoyable reading.
This novel was another fun read. I LOVE Josh and Cari. They are so much fun! This novel is a story about their Anniversary and how it almost doesn't go the way they want. They are a couple that people should aspire to be, full of life and totally in love. I don't have much to say because, well it is a serial and just a quick enjoyable read.
I can tell you it is very well written and you don't even sense in the least that it is a collaboration piece. These authors mesh perfect. I need MORE! Off to read the next installment!

BOUND- Adjective- restricted or confined to a specified person or place.
With plans of a getaway, mother nature has different ones with her hurricane, that will ruin Cari and Josh's second wedding anniversary... but Josh has better plans for Cari.
A night of being bound to her bed, learning something new. Being at Josh's mercy and all open for him.
It's time to not be in control.
Josh is in charge.
"Christ, you taste so foo tonight, Love. Just like liquid candy."- Josh
A night of getting lost in one another, and trying new things. A fond memory Cari will always keep, thanks to the hurricane that ruined her plans.
BOUND is the second book in the A Favorite Things series. Bound was a sexy, seductive, adventurous novella. I enjoyed how we get a little back story, than the author's jump right on in. With this short read, I feel like we get so much. We're able to connect with the characters. Bound is super SEXY, HOT, YUMMY book. Damn, I want to be bound... again ;) The thing I truly enjoy is even though there are two authors, we can't tell where one begins and the other ends. They are a GREAT team! I can't wait to see what they bring next.
5 sexy panting change your panty stars!

Bound by Rene Folsom and Juli Valenti is the second story in their Favorite Things series, set up as part of the series but can be viewed as a standalone.
Cari and Josh have been married for a while now, but the spark in their relationship has not left. Cari reflects on when a hurricane interrupted their anniversary, and how Josh fixed her bad mood with a surprise session of erotic play.
As this is a short story, I can't go in to details. But what I can go into is how much I'm loving the combined talents of Rene Folsom and Juli Valenti. Both are masters at their craft, weaving in romance and erotica in a perfect blend. There are a lot of stories out there that focus all on how the characters are having sex and take out all emotion from the scene, whereas these ladies mix in the love that creates that spark between these two characters. It's a terrific thing, these two working together. I seriously can't wait to see what they come out with next!

Cari and Josh are quickly becoming one of my favorite book couples of all time. No drama with them, only adventures. This is the second book in the Favorite Things series. I highly recommend them. Rene and Juli are both fantastic authors. They have me wishing we would get a hurricane right now, fat chance of that happening though.
I absolutely love the chemistry between Josh and Cari. You can tell that they really love each other, body and soul. This type of relationship is hard to find. In this story, they are celebrating their anniversary, that Cari thinks is ruined because of a hurricane. She doesn't know what Josh has in mind, and how he is going to show her that it is far from ruined.

BOUND #2 in the Favourite Things Erotic Short series.
What a great short story. Cari and Josh are a perfect match. This married couple absolutely love each other and know how to keep the spark in their relationship. For their second wedding anniversary Cari wants to have a romantic get away with her gorgeous hunk of a husband. However something happens totally out of her control but don't worry her beautiful lover Josh makes sure it's an anniversary to remember. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I Know I'm going to love the whole alphabet by these two authors, so very talented. Adventurous was A+ and if the series continues to be this hot as the first two are, this is going to be something you'll all want to start now. Can't wait for #3 C?

Bound is the second book in the Favorite Things series. Rene Folsom and Juli Valenti do a great job as co-authors....it's *impossible* to tell where one writes & the other takes over. They are a good team & I can't wait to see more from them. BOUND is about Cari and Josh and an exciting anniversary date! It's not how they had planned to spend the night, but when their circumstances changed, they decided to spice things up. Handcuffs, anyone? This series is great because the books can be read alone (although you won't want to!) This book will leave you excited to read book #3 when it debuts!

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Wow! This is an awesome book! It is very hot and steamy. Rene Folsom and Julie Valenti are very talented writers. They pull you into the story and make you all hot and bothered. This book is about the same couple in Adventurous, but both books are stand alones. If you like to read erotic books, this is a must read.

I am really loving this series of short stories! This one was definitely hotter than the first, phew. I am still recovering :) It is refreshing to read hot, fun sex stories between a married couple! Being married has a boring sex taboo and this shows it doesn't have too! I love the passion Cari has with the new domineering twist Josh brings! A fun, hot, sexy read! Keep them coming haha

What an awesome story. I love reading about these two. This story is a flashback to their 1st time experimenting with bondage. It was beautiful. The connection these two have is awe inspiring. Yes this is a quick read but that's okay the next one is going to be just as good if not better and we can find out what other adventures these two have.

This was an amazing read from beginning to end. I could not put it down. It has fantastic characters that from the moment that you meet them, you will fall in love with them, an amazing story that will keep you interested and entertained from beginning to end. It moved along at a great pace, keeping you interested. This has to be read, no doubt about it.
