Because I Want To

Bound To Me #3

by Leann Lane

Vie Tremaine is a whiz with numbers but her people skills leave much to be desired. Is it any wonder the other Master's at The Dungeon call her the Ice Princess? But when Master Reed asks her to help Trev Moore get his finances in order so that he can stick around she might have finally found a Dom that can thaw her. The only problem? He can't seem to get past his reservations when it comes to BDSM.
Can Vie somehow manage to teach an old dog new tricks and still submit to him? Can Trev finally understand the difference between being controlled and wanting to submit?

[Natalie Simmons · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story offers an intriguing blend of emotional vulnerability, personal struggle, and intense romantic chemistry. Vie is a wonderfully crafted character brilliant, disciplined, and quietly yearning for a deeper, more liberating connection. Her internal conflict between her controlled daily life and her hidden desires gives the story a relatable emotional core.
Trev, on the other hand, brings a strong mix of grit, loyalty, and uncertainty. His protective nature as a Marine and his confusion about the BDSM lifestyle create a believable tension that drives the plot. Watching him wrestle with his own hesitation while being increasingly drawn to Vie adds a compelling layer to their dynamic.
What stands out is the way the author balances sensuality with character growth. The BDSM elements are handled with care, focusing on trust, communication, and emotional openness rather than shock value. The pull between Trev’s craving for a “vanilla” life and his undeniable desire to explore this deeper, more intimate world with Vie adds complexity that keeps the story engaging from start to finish.

Overall, this is a steamy yet heartfelt romance with well-developed characters, strong emotional stakes, and a satisfying balance between passion and personal discovery. Fans of emotionally charged BDSM romance will find plenty to enjoy.
