Because I Want To

Bound To Me #3

by Leann Lane

Vie is a whiz at computers and numbers. Everyday she is surrounded by normal boring and predictable. But she has a naughty side that she rarely lets show. She longs for the freedom only complete submission can give her. Worse yet, she's beginning to fantasize about a certain rough and tough Marine that Master Reed has asked her to help. Trev is the last man on earth that would ever give the mousey little accountant the time of day. So she's forced herself to ignore the growing ache that his presence brings on. Trev is a hard core Marine with a soft spot for women in trouble that has finally found his baby sister after 10 years of searching. Deep in debit and trying hard to get his life back in order; he finds himself blindsided by the fact that his baby sister is into bondage. Blindsided and intrigued. He can't stop himself from wondering what it would be like to have this shy and reclusive woman at his mercy. To bring her pleasure and watch as she gives herself totally and completely over to him. The only problem is he can't bring himself to fully commit to the lifestyle. Yet at every turn, every opportunity the Dom in him rises to insert himself over Vie until he's left feeling torn between two totally different worlds. One path leads him towards a purely vanilla life absent of all the light Vie brings. The other twist down a bumpy road filled with erotic sinful pleasures and naughty little games for him and this woman to play.

[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.
