Bound
Bound, Book 3 of the Zinahs series from award winning, erotic fantasy romance author Lila Dubois takes you back to a world of rituals and magic, masters and slaves, and a centuries old battle for power. This gripping tale of one woman's journey to overcome her past and find love will fill your heart of joy.
Aketa is a farm girl, raised on the outskirts of the magnificent Great City. When a proclamation is issued, inviting all eligible females to attend a ball at the Palace for a chance to be Lord Moregon's bride, Aketa dismisses it. She would never win the hand of a noble Lord. Her haunting past and scarred face are enough to drive any man away, never mind one who has his pick of any woman in the city.
But Moregon's requirements in a wife are far from normal. She must be a woman of exceptional spirit and strength. Most importantly she must be brave enough to face the whips and chains of Moregon's world.
When Aketa meets and falls in love with the handsome and kind Moregon she resolves to do anything, endure anything, to win him.
This erotic fantasy romance contains BDSM, Light Bondage, and adult themes. Bound is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

I wanted to like this book. And I like the characters, the idea of the test to find the perfect wife, but then the queen, who can read minds, doesn't believe it's the right match which baffles me. I also don't understand how S makes her way to the end, she should have been disqualified a long time ago. The queen and the zinahs supposed to be understanding and loving and yet they seem to not understand Moregon at all.
I also absolutely hated the whole part where they touted that it is unnatural for men to be dominated by women. While I think having that opinion is fine, here it is presented by a character with authority, it's not contradicted and it essentially derogatory toward any female led d/s relationship.
In addition, the D's I know would in general disagree that it is necessary to submit in order to understand the desire, but I can understand it for a character who's venturing into the world purely out of love for another person. I'm not sure they would agree though, but I know there are people in the scene who will. Personally, I think A is a switch.
Otherwise, there's lots of sex, chains, instant attraction, one-dimensional filler competition and boredom. Also, H/h are very similar in many ways, I kept thinking just finish the competition already, it is clearly a sham by this stage.
Meh!

A Field of their own
This was a very intense, though, very enjoyable addition to the series. I love when you feel something for the characters and can commiserate with how they are feeling. Moregon and Aketa's story brings part traumas to light and they are able to save each other. I think they could both be Switches, then again it could only be wishful thinking on my part. Lol

Did I choose this cuz of the cover (not the cover shown here on Goodreads)? Sure did. Have I learned my lesson? Probably not.
I suppose I deserve to be punished. 😂
