Bound by Secrecy #1
Bound by my Stepbrother
I always dreaded these family reunions. The ones where my parents would relentlessly try and blend their step families together in some fancy resort location.But, it wasn't the gathering that I hated. Oh no. I could avoid that with alcohol and lounging by the pool. It was him; that cocky, masculine, billionaire, whatever of a stepbrother that I grew up with.He's driven me wild for longer than I can remember. I just need to avoid him long enough to survive this gathering.Too bad he has different plans for us. He wants me bound and all to himself.This is part 1 of the Bound by Secrecy (amazon.com/dp/B00XB7J3NO) 1. Bound by my Stepbrother2. Taught by my Stepbrother (amazon.com/dp/B00WTKCT2Q)3. Teased by my Stepbrother (amazon.com/dp/B00WTOM6I4)

This was a short quick read. This was a step brother step sister story that I am not overtly fond of reading. The story was also too short. Ronnie hates going to the family reunion. Chris Marshall who is hot and sexy millionaire who is also her stepbrother. Every year my mom & step-dad had his family & her family join in on all holidays at different destinations around the globe. It was a way to see the whole family and have fun drinking & relaxing all at the same time! Thus year is Cancun Mexico. Chris caught Ronnie masterbating when she was 16 and has wanted him every since. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. This was my first time reading this author.

Just Like Kenzie's Other Novellas, Great!
When I got talking with my family about "surprising books we've read," no one surprised me. However, I'd definitely surprise them with the dark romances I read all the time. Will I recommend this book? Probably, but all will be... bound to secrecy. Get it? Great work, Kenzie!

I couldn't give this book more than that for several reasons.
It was too short and the other parts of the book are ridiculously priced.
There wasn't a lot of detail to this story, I get that it's a short story but they could have put more thought, detail and time while writing it.
Aside from those things it was a good quick read the characters weren't boring, but they need more detail to them.

This is a little trilogy and it's decent. It says it's BDSM and he's a Dom, but honestly there's not anything BDSM about it. He ties her up. Spanks her. That's really it.

This was not a book, it was a CHAPTER. There's a little backstory, but not enough to interest me into paying $2.99 for the next book. I guess you'll have to purchase the next two to see what happens.
Here's the gist of it: Family reunion in Cancun, she gets it on with her stepbrother. That's it. That's all she wrote. I got this for free. If I had paid for it I'd be VERY mad.

Not a bad start to this serial. This is a short story of a stepbrother and sister who get together during a family vacation.

This was a quick read about step-siblings who reconnect on a family trip to Cancun Mexico. Ronnie has always had a thing for her older stepbrother Chris but has never acted on it until this trip. When the family decides to go hiking, Ronnie and Chris take a different path from the others and end up at a waterfall where they go skinny dipping. This leads to a steamy sex scene with some light bondage. I would not consider this book to be a BDSM, but I'm pretty sure the next two super short books in the series will include it. I'm not sure if I'm going to read them or not, I have so many other books on my KU that I want to read more than these.

Wow..step brothers are fun
I choose this rating because the book was so hard to put down! It kept me on my toes and biting my lip the whole time. I personally would have liked a few more details but all in all it was a sensual seduction book! I will be recommending this book via my blog as well as just shouting it from the roof tops!

Bound by my Stepbrother
Another short quick read. Ronnie hates going to family reunions. The only reason she goes to family reunions is to see her stepbrother Chris who she’s has had a crush on for eight years. She didn’t realise that Chris feels the same. I only wish that the author would put more thought into the characters and backgrounds of each.

Just to set expectations stright: if you are looking for a BDMS story you'll be most likely dissapointed. I'd call this one an NA erotic stepsiblings romance with low level BDMS elements.
Since I was in the mood for some short erotica it was pretty fine for me plus I liked the two main characters and the exotic setting.

Quick step-sib taboo with kink
Quick little step-sibling taboo with a bondage kink and exotic location tossed in. One hot scene with waterfall, skinny dripping sex dripping fun. Well for them at least.
The story goes on in book/part 2.

Chris and Ronnie
Nothing like harboring a years-long crush and getting stuck on a family vacation together. May as well see how far you can go—after all, they aren’t really related.

This was pretty hot. They head off on a different path during a hike and end up having sex at the bottom of a waterfall. The rest of their family is going to end up at the top. I wish the family would have been further away, I didn't like the idea of them getting caught.

Another amazing read by Kenzie Haven
I do enjoy reading Kenzie Haven's books. Glad I have kindle unlimited or it would get costly reading all of her books. On to the next one in this series.

I enjoyed the taboo subject matter and thought this story is hot. I love the location. It is a short, quick read. There isn't any depth here but it is just spicy fun. I love that I found it for free on my Kindle app but it isn't worth paying for.

More like 3.5
Decently steamy, but very short, very choppy, and not much back story or build up. Going to look into the next story in this series but I don’t have my hopes up.

No character depth. Too short. Just a lead in to the series. Definitely hot and sexy though.

Sometimes the cover, blurb and title leads to much disappointment. Expected more. Pity.

Fine for the most part, I'm not a big fan of how controlling the MMC is.

The writing for this one was a tad bit messy. Like when they were at the waterfall I was confused at the placement of... bodies 😩 but the banter was nice.

Meh. Way too superficial. Needed more depth to the story.
