This is Book 17 in Red Phoenix’s story of the submission of Brie. This book is the continuation of Brie and Thane’s happily ever after. They welcome their baby girl Hope with Rytsar at their side. This book was filled with Angst, Mystery and most of all love. The flashbacks let you know what led up to situations that are occurring now. I do highly recommend reading the books in order, but it is possible to understand without doing so.

Thane & Brie's happily ever after is all Brie is feeling especially looking into their daughters Hope eyes. Of course Rystar is right there by their sides as they introduces him to his god-daughter Hope Antonio Davis. As he takes his first dance with Hope Brie tears up not thinking she can be any happier. As life ASSUME a normal well their normal pattern, they forget about Lilly Thane's sister plots and get wayyyyy too comfortable in everyday life. As always the threat that looms over Brie becomes apparent when an old debt comes to collect Brie & Hope and now the race is on before they are taken and never to be seen again. Will Thane lose the only 2 people that have stolen his heart? All because of his sister Lilly obsessed and hatred of his wife & baby.

The Brie Book-hangover Spree Continues
Let me start off by saying this...
It is not just the love between Brie and Sir Thane Davis that knows no bounds! My love for not only that charming duo, but the entire cast of characters created in this alluring series is also boundless.
Since picking up the first book in the series, I have been nothing short of mesmerized and consumed by this series, devouring each book within record time. I just can't get enough!
With tens of thousands of romance novels available at the click of a button these days, a romance reader can easily find instant gratification in a wide array of romance genres, right? We see new releases daily. However; the number of authors that are able to write a series that spans 17 books is quite limited at best. Now, if you also consider the number of authors that produce 17 INCREDIBLY WELL WRITTEN books all within the same series and using the same cast of characters, you have a relatively minute pool of authors to choose from to say the least. This is why I completely admire the talent that Red Phoenix has as an author, and why I gobble up every romance calorie she bestows on us like it's the last chance before a 40 day fast!!! If you haven't read a Red Phoenix book, you are missing a wonderfully heart-warming romance experience like no other.
The focus of book 17 is predominantly the upcoming birth of Brie and Sir's baby, so this book has a unique emotional appeal to it as we peek into the roles that Brie and Sir will share as new parents. I will give no other plot spoilers in this review, sorry... not sorry. LOL
There is anticipation, and excitement on a whole new level in this tear-jerking, yet joyful novel. We see a side to Sir that we have yet to experience as impending fatherhood approaches and it is truly beautiful. The dominant walls crumble as the child that now rules his heart teaches Sir a few things about what it means to love another so deeply. I couldn't keep the tears at bay! As always, where Brie is concerned...Sir is the perfect dirty gentleman. Sigh....
Perhaps even more surprising is the way this bundle of joy affects our favorite and lovable sadist, Rytsar. Oh Lord, que the waterworks!! There is so much of Rytsar in this particular book, which I was so thankful for. The relationship between Brie, Sir & Rytsar is so entwined and deeply rooted that at times, you almost forget that it isn't a marriage of three people. Their relationship just flows seamlessly together in a way that makes your heart ache with wonder. I'm pretty sure my heart was so full during all of their interactions, that I could hear actual leaks opening up to allow for the expansion! Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control (yes, there is some angst & suspense), we see just how far Rytsar is willing to go to ensure the safety of those he holds dear. It was such a critical moment for Rytsar! One he desperately deserved. I hope now that he has faced his demons and found some peace, that Anton Durov will find his HEA as others in the series have done.
As with each of her previous books in this series, the author makes sure that we get the perfect reunion with all of the characters we've grown to love: Brie's parents, Sir's italian family, Master Anderson, Tono & Autumn, Candy, Boa, Lea, Mary, Faelan & Kylie, even honorable mentions of Ms. Clark, Baron, Captain, and interactions with Master Nosh of the STC, and the intriguing new dominant-Hunter. Each of these characters are intricately woven into the storyline and add to the events that take place in book 17, including the child's birth and protection of Brie from unwanted attention. Tono Nasaka still holds a special place in my heart. Such an honorable man with a beautiful genuine soul. The things he does in this book! Gah......
While this series is categorized as BDSM, or romance erotica-it is truly so much more than that! You will laugh continuously, you will cry tears of sorrow, joy and pain, you will want to jump your significant other the moment you see them, or dash out to the store to stock BOB up with plenty of fresh batteries!! It's just that good!!! There is no shortage of emotion, humor or intense 5 star heat!!! Each new book, begins precisely where the previous one leaves off so please read the series in order, but please read it! You will share an experience like you've never had before. One that will stay with you long after the final words on the last page. These characters take root in your heart and establish a home there. Even if you think you know what BDSM is, and think it's not your cup of tea....YOU NEED BRIE. She will dispel any beliefs you may have.
* I am voluntarily leaving this review for the ARC that I received*
Just like all of the other 16 books in the series, I will also be adding the audiobook version to my collection just as soon as it releases. I will stop whatever I'm listening to at that moment, and take the book 17 journey again (so not kidding). Like I said, I can't get enough! If you are an audiobook enthusiast, you are in for such a treat!
Red Phoenix... I adore you for being such a beautiful spirit and sharing this series with all of us!
It has been one of the best reading experiences that I've ever had.

4 Star Review of Bound by Love (Brie’s Submission #17) by Red Phoenix
Firstly you need to have read the other previous books in the series otherwise you will not get the enjoyment you should from this book.
Again there was a lot of backwards and forwards in this book and on occasion I felt a little lost but through it all I knew that finally Brie and Thane would have their baby.
I loved getting insights into what has been happening to other characters and how they play a part in loving and supporting Brie and her family. It was great to see that Lea is finally happy, or is she? I am hoping that eventually Mary too will get her happily ever after.
The connection and chemistry between Brie and Thane, knows no bounds, their love for one another shines throughout the book, with their scenes so hot that you can almost feel the flames as you read.
The chemistry between Thane, Brie and Rystar is pivotal (not to mention, totally smoking hot) and we go into a lot more depth with this in Bound By Love. Thane and Brie’s love for one another and the friends is truly magical to read about.
Lilly, well she is pure evil and unbeknownst to all she is still a major danger to Brie and the family she loves.
I am intrigued as to where Ms. Phoenix is taking these characters and look forward to the next book.

I am so happy that I got to spend the last 4 days immersed in Brie’s world once again. Oh how I have missed them all! Sir, Brie, Rytsar, Lea, Mary, Tono, Master Anderson to name a few, Ahhh! I just love them all! This book has it all! Love, sex, suspense, endearing moments that brought tears to my eyes and so much more! I truly hope that this series never ends and we will be able to get glimpses into the lives of all of these characters forever! Thank you Red Phoenix for sharing these pieces of you to the world at large! I look forward to the next chapter in Brie’s life!

Bound by Love is the seventeenth book in Red Phoenix’s Brie’s Submission series, and it’s a book where you really need to be up to date with the series to understand. The trend in romance at the moment seems to be each book tells a different character’s story, and my brain automatically thought such was the case with this one – after all, it’s so rare to see a series following the same characters reach book seventeen. This series, however, does not follow the popular trend.
What I learned from reading this book is that I need to pay more attention and not jump to conclusions at such an early stage. Through my lack of foresight, I jumped into book seventeen of a series and found myself lost. Not the kind of lost where I could find my footing, either. Sometimes you can jump into books and you get your background, you get the information needed to understand the characters, but such was not the case with this one. It builds heavily upon the prior books, and without the knowledge you’re clueless.
Due to this, I apologise to the author. My review does not accurately represent a rating you would get from fans of the series. Loyal followers will understand this a lot better than I did, and I’m sure there is much to be appreciated.
Will I go and read the prior books? I’m unsure. A part of me is intrigued, but at the same time what I saw with this one didn’t leave me all that excited. The story seems interesting, but I’m worried about the storytelling. This one bounced back and forth in time, and I’m unsure if it was specific to this book or whether it is something that happens throughout the series. If it’s the former, then I’ll probably give this series a try; if it’s the latter, I doubt I will dive in. I don’t mind some flashbacks, but this book was very heavy on them – too heavy for my liking.
Don’t take my rating as a sign of what you’ll think of the book, though – as I said, I messed up. If I do give the series a try, it’s possible I may come back to this one and find I enjoyed it once I had knowledge.

This is the seventeenth book in the Brie's Submission series and the continuation of Brie and Thane. You definitely need to read all the books prior in this series to truly love and appreciate the beautiful love story that is Thane and Brie. This was by far my favorite book in the entire series, I feel like I've waited a lifetime for the events that take place in this book. I love that Red Phoenix is so consistent with her writing and true to her characters, I grown to love her style of writing which is a bit formal at times.
With a new baby coming, Brie's wish is the same as most first mothers a happy healthy baby free from the burdens of her past. The past always has a way of rearing its ugly head. Thane will stop at nothing to protect Brie, and with Rytsar beside him they are an unstoppable force. I was so happy for Rytsar to be there for the birth of his niece it was such as special time that I was so happy I got to be a part of. As always with all of Red Phoenix books you get it all, you get scorching hot scenes, true emotion, real love, and true friendships and quite bit of laughs. I really loved this book and highly recommend.

I received this book from the authors for an honest review.
I have been waiting, as all the fans have, for the birth of baby……………*shakes finger* Did you think I would let that spoiler outta the bag? That is a negative!! Wanna know? Then read the book!!
This book was a great jump back and forth in time from Brie’s POV. We get to see scenes from Sir’s book and how she was feeling plus we get to see her thoughts about coupling with Sir annnnnd our favorite Russian….MMMM Rytsar. I know I love seeing the dynamic of their friendship and *Wink* MORE. The More is ALWAYS GOOD READING and Red didn’t let us down *Blushes*
WE get a lot more in this book too. WE get to see a happy and in love Lea. After EVERYTHING she went trough with Mrs. Clark I was so happy to see Love in the air for her. Granted I had HOPED it would be with Rytsar but she is happy so I am good……Or is she?
Mary….Oh Mary….What is going on with you? I never thought I would say this, but Mary REALLY DOES LOVE Brie and Lea. After what she does in this book for the girls, I seriously hope she gets an HEA because she does deserve it.
Seeing scenes with Master Anderson and Tono are always great additions to any book of course. I love getting to see the old gang in any capacity.
Lilly, Oh friends she is still causing trouble for our couple. Unfortunately, our couple doesn’t know her evil is still out there causing havoc on their lives.
More evil from the past in the form of Brie’s bully comes back into play. I wonder what is going to happen with this story line because Brie is pretty shaken up with memories of her past with Darius.
This book does a great job setting up more plot for more books plus letting us reconnect with our old story lines and characters. I love this series and stop whatever I am doing to sit and read. Sir and Brie’s love story is truly EPIC like the Blurb suggests. #CondorLove

I gave this book 4.5 stars!!!
This Brie's HEA!!! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and see what happen between Thane, Brie and Rystar. I fell in love with Thane and Brie but when you add in Rystar the scenes just get HOTTER and HOTTER!!! Just like in the last book your emotions are going to go on a roller coaster ride and I felt like reaching in a hurting a few people myself. I have grown to love the secondary character just as much as the main and have already add several more of these books to my TBR.
Brie is about to become a new mom. All she wants is for her baby to be healthy, happy and free of her past. When her past come back, Thane and Rystar take matters into their own hands and that leaves her feeling worried. What happens when one goes away and they are not sure if he will come back?
I absolute loved the scene with the grandparents in Italy....had my heart melting!! I cant wait to see what we get next in this series.

OMG! 10 stars! Perfection! This blew me away and set me on fire. I read it twice over the weekend when I received an arc for an honest review. I love it, so much so that I purchased a copy too. Brie's Submission is my favorite BDSM submissive series. Red Phoenix has done it again. Each of the Brie's Submission novels are off the chart hot and sexy and this one is no exception. Bound by Love is just so freakin' hot, so sexy and Brie's perfect HEA. And Brie's fantasies, OMG unbelievable! The chemistry and depth of feelings between Sir and Brie is amazing. Their love knows no bounds and it is totally obvious. Their feelings, their emotions and their scenes are intimately described, extremely detailed and well thought out. The plot is intense and well paced, taking you on the journey with them. All the delicious Dominants are principled, responsible, and caring. (Drooling here) There are flash backs to give you perspective if you haven't read the series. But you should read each one in glorious detail. Your panties will be soaked and your Sir will be pleased too.

I've had the opportunity to read each every book in the Brie Submission series by Red Phoenix - some books had my heart pounding. Others had me sighing in contentment. And other times, i was curious on where the series would go from that point. It's no surprise that i was more than curious to know what Thane (AKA Sir) and Brie would name their bundle of joy and how Rytsar would become the 'perfect' uncle considering the large family that has been behind this couple since Brie has stepped inside the submissive school so many years (or is it months?) ago.
Needless to say, that i'm a huge fan of this series - so don't kill the messenger after this review *please*. Compared to the previous books, Bound By Love was maybe my least favorite of them all. That doesn't mean i didn't like the book, because i did. But the thing was that there was so much back and forth between the past and the present, when all i wanted was the now. The 'what's happening now' aspect of the series is what drew me in the first place. And maybe that's just me; maybe so many need and want to know EVERYTHING there is about Brie and Thane and what's happened until the delivery of the baby, but for me, since in a previous book i was given that look back in their lives, it was enough.
One thing i have to mention - Red Phoenix has the emotional pull between these two who live this lifestyle down pat. There's no other way of describing it or of being able to adequately explain how it is between a Dominant and his/her submissive, but this author did a fantastic job. Because it is exactly as it is between Thane and Brie - at least, the really good and true relationships.
While Bound By Love wasn't my favorite of the series, it was still the kind of book that moved me. I'm not sure if there will be more in this sub's series, but i will for sure be keeping my eyes peeled in the case that there will be more; not only of this series but by this author.

I have been a fan of Red Phoenix from the very beginning of Brie's journey through the Submissive Training Center all the way to present day. I anxiously await every single release that comes so I can continue on the journey with Brie and the entire cast of characters that we've grown to know and love from day 1. So it pains me to say that I did not love this book the way I have loved all of the others.
I am like all of the loyal fans who have been waiting for the birth of baby Davis and we do get that in the story, but we get a lot of flashback memories and fantasy scenes interspersed in the story. I don't have an issue with that at all. I think it was very important to see those past scenes and the impact they had on Brie and Sir. For me, I wanted and needed more of just Brie and Thane and the baby. But the times they spend alone are few and far between. The majority of the scenes involved Rytsar, who is a character I do love, but his presence in every single thing Brie and Sir did throughout the book overpowered the love and connection I have always admired in this couple.
Lots happens in this installment, which is always the case. Things with Brie have gotten to a point where she never seems to have a peaceful period of time, a time for her and Thane to just be a married couple who also happen to be Dom/sub. They weren't married for two seconds before she got pregnant and their lives have been in upheaval ever since. Throw in the fact that Rytsar has increasingly become a major presence in their lives, that I feel Red is preparing us for the eventual announcement that these three are going to become a triad or polyamorous or whatever the terminology is.
I truly enjoyed seeing Thane present his daughter to his Nonna and Nonno in Italy. That was so very touching. And seeing Brie's father melt at the sight of his granddaughter brought happy tears to my eyes. The visits with the other characters that we have all fallen in love with was the best thing. Especially the visit to Master Anderson's house. Ahh, Shadow, you are a proud papa!!
The ending of this installment was a little abrupt, but in a happy way I guess? And we'll have to wait to see what happens next since Red has announced she's going to write a duet for the side characters, Captain and Candy. I have always been super fond of Captain and his quiet strength so I am looking forward to reading those. He must have quite a backstory for it to need two books, as all of the other important character's stories have been told in one book, with appearances in each subsequent book.
As I said in the beginning, I am so sad to say that this book was not what I was expecting, based on the blurb. I expected to get a whole bunch of Brie and Thane and baby Davis, and that is not at all what happened. I will wait with baited breath to see what Red brings us next.

Things with Brie have gotten to a point where she never seems to have a peaceful period of time, a time for her and Thane to just be a married couple who also happen to be Dom/sub. They weren't married for two seconds before she got pregnant and their lives have been in upheaval ever since. Throw in the fact that Rytsar has increasingly become a major presence in their lives, that I feel Red is preparing us for the eventual announcement that these three are going to become a triad or polyamorous or whatever the terminology is.
I truly enjoyed seeing Thane present his daughter to his Nonna and Nonno in Italy. That was so very touching. And seeing Brie's father melt at the sight of his granddaughter brought happy tears to my eyes. The visits with the other characters that we have all fallen in love with was the best thing. Especially the visit to Master Anderson's house. Ahh, Shadow, you are a proud papa!!
The ending of this installment was a little abrupt, but in a happy way I guess? And we'll have to wait to see what happens next since Red has announced she's going to write a duet for the side characters, Captain and Candy. I have always been super fond of Captain and his quiet strength so I am looking forward to reading those. He must have quite a backstory for it to need two books, as all of the other important character's stories have been told in one book, with appearances in each subsequent book.
As I said in the beginning, I am so sad to say that this book was not what I was expecting, based on the blurb. I expected to get a whole bunch of Brie and Thane and baby Davis, and that is not at all what happened. I will wait with baited breath to see what Red brings us next.

Brie is in labor! The baby is finally coming! Sir and Rytsar are in shock... she is early and this was totally unexpected.
The tension of waiting for the baby to be born; the stress of the hours Brie is in labor; and the fear that something could still go wrong has everyone sitting at the edge of their seats. Sir is right by her side inspiring her and helping deal with the pain. No anesthetics because she is fully dilated and ready to deliver... and yet after her water broke, the delivery takes forever, or at least it felt like forever.
Having their baby and adjusting to being new parents fills Brie and Sir with wonder. As the glow of being parents embraces them, they are not aware evil still is around the corner. Someone wants to harm Brie and baby... will they succeed?
I really am enjoying this series. My preference is the story itself, not so much Brie's fantasies, although I must admit they are really HOT! Definitely recommended to fans of this series!
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thank you to the author for sharing this book with me.

I won an ARC of Bound By Love by Red Phoenix and here are my thoughts..
As a newbie to Red Phoenix works and I must say that this is my first time reading a book of her. All I can say is that she bring out a fresh outlook of D/S relationship to me. Honestly I am not into "sharing" in a BDSM but with her book I had to make an exception. Why?! Because with her Bound by Love, it is possible to put Passion & Sensuality into the word which not only focused on the Sex act itself. I really feel the pull of a DOM to his SUB everytime Sir is with Brie. It also surprise me that she put jest slips every now and then that was also fresh to me most specially when Brie is asking for "safeword" during her delivery😅😂 And finally I love that she puts more emphasis on showing the thoughts & feelings of each character that gives me a broad idea on what their every kinks as well as their environment is all about. Thanks again for this book I am planning to read the whole series this coming holidays.😍❤💗

Amazing story
April 4, 2018
It's hard to believe that there have been 17 books in this amazing series. I've been reading since right after these books started. I have fallen more and more in love with Brie and her Sir with every single release. We have met some of the most intriguingly divine doms and they have all taken my breath away. From Sir to Noss, from Faelen to Rytsar and all the deliciousness in between, this series has made my heart trip in my chest and made me sigh, sigh, sigh.
Bound By Love is different to for me though. This story seemed to bring everything together. All the struggles, all the unanswered questions... everything was here. The flashbacks, the memories... this wonderful sense of family between Brie, Sir and Rytsar. It was astounding. To see Sir back in his wonderful dominant self and to experience the love that he had for his daughter. No little girl is more loved than Baby Davis. She is special, even down to her name.
And while it may seem that Rytsar is a huge part of this story and he pops in a lot, the truth is that he IS an integral part of the Sir and Brie story. He's Brie's knight and protector. He's Sir's brother - truer and closer than blood. He should have been in the delivery room. He should care so much for his moye soltnse - his niece, his very sun. Whether they realize it or not, Rytsar is Sir and Brie's missing piece and watching them together just made my heart so happy. There's no competition, no animosity, no rivalry for Brie's love. They both have it and they both know it. It was glorious. It was a bond that nothing and no one could shake. Many had tried - and failed miserably.
This chapter in Brie and Sir's life was wonderful to be a part of. Sir is still the same sensual, sexy dominant man that he always was but added to that? Fatherhood. And Thane Davis wears it brilliantly. Add also the fact that this man knows with all his heart what he had to lose and how much his wife and family mean to him. For Brie's part, she is truly a mother but still very much her husband's submissive. Her bubbly joy tickled me and her passion still knocked me out. She is by far one of my favorite female characters of all time!
There is so much more to Sir and Brie's story. But not just them. Reading this story and seeing all the many possibilities, I am so excited to continue this journey with these amazing characters! Bravo, Mistress. So very well done!

Brie and her Sir, Thane Davis are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first child. It’s a new beginning for everyone from the Submissive Training Center. It’s also time for Brie to reconnect with everyone who has ever touched her heart.
“I have a confession,” Autumn told Brie. “When Tono invited me to join him for this shoot, I actually squealed.”
“I can attest to that,” Tono replied, chuckling.
Brie was grateful to hear it. “So you weren’t weirded out that it would be with me?”
Autumn shook her head, smiling. “Now that I’ve had time to get to know Tono, training as his submissive, I see things much more clearly.”
She glanced at Tono proudly. “Ren Nosaka is the most honorable man I’ve ever met. I am completely and utterly in love with him.” Autumn smiled self-consciously, looking to the ground as a smile played on her lips.
Tono blushed slightly, but Brie saw in his eyes that the love Autumn had for him was returned.
Even with all of the joy of new life, the pain of the past lingers. There are still those who would tear them apart and they won’t give up until they get what they want.
He then looked at Brie. “You have my undying gratitude as well. Even though you didn’t know it at the time, you saved my life when you tripped just outside the school that night.” “
But that was not an act of bravery. It was just sheer clumsiness.”
“Doesn’t matter. That encounter changed the course of my life. I was running on autopilot before I met you—my life consisted of just misery and guilt.”
Brie’s heart swelled with admiration for him. “I’m glad we came into each other’s lives.”
“I am too, blossom,” he said, smiling at her tenderly. “I am, too.”
Bound by Love is far more than just another installment in Red’s iconic series! It’s a celebration of love, commitment, friendship and endless desire.
Each of her characters has fought to overcome their demons – both real and imagined – and emerged stronger than before. And the passion!
The passion burns brighter and still has power to make you squirm in the very best of ways.
Brie’s Submission shows no signs of slowing down or holding back. And we can’t wait to devour it all…

This book, this story and these characters will forever be a part of my heart. From the very beginning when Brie met Sir, we knew we were going to be challenged. Challenged to be open minded, to love, to cry and to let go when something just isn't right. This book, "Bound by Love" by Red Phoenix brings us to the ultimate culmination of all strong, healthy relationships....a baby is born. Join in the miracle as Brie once again embraces her 'training' as she struggles through her labor. With her Master, Sir and husband Thane by her side along with the one and only Rytsar, she brings her child into the world. Their child bring so much sunshine and strength to Rytsar that it is only fitting that he be there to help. They have a bond which can't be broken. Things turn a bit hectic for awhile and Rytsar must wait to meet the baby. Have a tissue handy for that moment, it is truly special.
Many of our favorite characters and new favorite characters also make appearances through out the book and those parts will leave you on the edge of your seat as you turn the pages to find out what happens. We also get to enjoy a very intimate scene with Tono and Autumn and Brie. Beautiful and amazing that I really wished I had done something like that when I was pregnant. Sexy times? Oh my, yes, plenty of sexy times.
I can't wait for the journey to continue. Thank you, Red Phoenix for sharing your heart with all of us. I know for certain that these books will be forever a part of my heart.

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and am leaving this honest review in return. Red Phoenix has written an amazing series centered around Brie and her Sir. It began when she enrolled in submissive training and this is the 17th book in the series. This book, emotionally, was all over the place. There were laughter and sniffles, hot steamy scenes and just plain romantic ones. I loved that, the child that could have become unwanted because of parentage, is going to be loved by Sir's uncle and aunt. That was a perfect beginning for that child's life.
I loved the book overall, but I wish it had ended in a better way. I was disappointed that the ending was so abrupt. Brie has been extremely worried about Rystar for a long time, it took up the end of the book. But the book literally ended with her seeing him safe. I think I was expecting more at the end, a closure of some sort. Yes, the trafficker is gone, but even that isn't satisfying. I wasn't looking for another scene between the three of them, but I WAS looking forward to seeing them in their home, with Rystar next door. That would have given this book a far more powerful happy ending.
Overall, it was another great bit of writing by Red Phoenix, who has fast become a favorite of mine. I don't know of one other author on the face of the earth who could make me read 17 books in a series and be looking for number 18. That speaks volumes for the power of her writing. Red, kudos to you for #17. Hope to see 17 more!

Bound by Love is the 17th installment of submissive Brie and her Dom husband Thane. This story takes us on a journey of Brie just about to give birth and how she, Thane and Rystar’s lives are going to change as well as brie’s memories of things that have happened as well as things that are to come.
I love Red Phoenix’s writing style, you really get into Brie’s head in the book and the sexy scenes are scorching hot! The flashbacks of Brie’s let you know what has happened in previous books (which you don’t necessarily have to read) and the overall story centres on characters that you met in previous books and what they are up to now.
This is a well written book with enough angst to keep you turning the pages as well as intrigue which just makes you want to continue onto the next installment (which sadly isn’t out yet). Rystar our sexy Russian has a lot of airtime in this book and you’re still rooting for him to have his HEA, whether it be with Brie and Thane or someone else. Other characters such as Master Anderson, Leah, Mary and even Brie’s parents make an appearance in this book and you very much feel the family setting of BDSM rather than Brie and Thane being singular entities within that community.
As always from Ms. Phoenix, an incredibly, sexy, suspenseful read. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next chapter of Brie’s life.
ARC received for a fair and honest review.

Bound by Love is book 17 in this wonderful world of Brie’s Submission. This is Brie, Sir Thane and Rystar’s story. I love all 3 of these characters!
I can’t believe that Brie had a baby! I love that she did though and I love that Sir took care of the baby as well as Brie.
I love Brie’s friends and that Mary was more approachable than she ever has been. Lea is well Lea. I was so sad for her too. But, Lea is still telling her silly jokes.
Bound by Love ended where you know there is going to be more. And, Red Phoenix said that the next in Brie’s world would be Safe Haven the 1st part of Captain’s duet. Safe Haven will be Captain and Candy’s story and I can’t wait to read it. Coming June 12, 2018! I give Bound by Love 4.5 stars.

I have really enjoyed this series in the main. Despite the odd criticism mentioned on previous reviews, the proof of the pudding as they say is in the eating and given that I bought the books in this series one after the other in quick succession, I'd say they are pretty good. Red certainly is able to make characters real and you will feel the love big time. I reckon there have been some hot session with partners or BOBs after reading this series because Red can dish up some hot sexy scenes (she says crossing her legs tightly together :) ). I enjoyed this made BDSM a story of love and caring, all too often novels portray a dark side of it and all to often authors think that chucking in a few obscene words they have an erotic novel - they should read these and learn a thing.
The dynamic between Brie, Sir and Rytsar is amazing and seriously of fire at times and they so clearly love and care for each other. Some reviews here say they would like to see Rytsar get his HEA, I'm not sure there is room for another in this relationship - still only Red will know ........................
I would recommend reading this series in order rather than stand alone's as by reading them all you get the full on effect of complete experience.

"I see it so clearly. This is how it ends. Everything that has happened to me has led to this moment."
I enjoyed the continuation of Brie's journey. Especially now that her and Thane's bundle of joy has arrived. The magnitude of the scenes leading up to and the moment the baby arrives are pivotal and ones that are monumental to Brie. They are touching and rooted to her past.
Within Bound by Love, we are able to relieve certain scenes from past books but in a different light due to drama that of course never escapes Thane and Brie. Especially Brie's past. As ever, Brie learns new avenues in her life, but within this novel we really see that she's BOUND not just by Thane's love but by Rystar's devotional love as well... & that was beautiful to witness.
If you are a lover of Rystar, like I am, than you will love the amount of scenes that Red Phoenix has within this book of the mighty three musketeers. I love my sadist Russian and I am beyond happy that he is with Brie throughout this part of her journey with Thane.
"She had never known this level of happiness."

I absolutely love Bound by Love by Red Phoenix. I love the fact that the story took me back and made me remember the past scenes that I loved so much. In the present Brie is in labor and Sir Davis is being his cool and collective self. I love him so much. The way the story is written was so realistic. I just went through what was happening with my cousin. I was actually there when the baby came out. So I knew what they were going through. I hate that Durov missed the birth. But the scene with him and the baby made me cry. He is such a great uncle/godfather. It was to sweet. I was also happy with the Sheik scene fantasy. I love me some sheiks stories. Great job!!! I'm totally in love with the island scene. Those two men is something else. This book took me on an emotional journey and I loved every minute of it. Especially when they went back to introduce his daughter to his grandparents and family. Another boohoo moment for me. It captured my attention from beginning to end I was so tempted to skip around but I didn't. Now I can't wait to see what happens next.

I gave this book 4.5 stars!!!
This Brie's HEA!!! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and see what happen between Thane, Brie and Rystar. I fell in love with Thane and Brie but when you add in Rystar the scenes just get HOTTER and HOTTER!!! Just like in the last book your emotions are going to go on a roller coaster ride and I felt like reaching in a hurting a few people myself. I have grown to love the secondary character just as much as the main and have already add several more of these books to my TBR.
Brie is about to become a new mom. All she wants is for her baby to be healthy, happy and free of her past. When her past come back, Thane and Rystar take matters into their own hands and that leaves her feeling worried. What happens when one goes away and they are not sure if he will come back?
I absolute loved the scene with the grandparents in Italy....had my heart melting!! I cant wait to see what we get next in this series.
This Brie's HEA!!! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and see what happen between Thane, Brie and Rystar. I fell in love with Thane and Brie but when you add in Rystar the scenes just get HOTTER and HOTTER!!! Just like in the last book your emotions are going to go on a roller coaster ride and I felt like reaching in a hurting a few people myself.

Hard to believe that we are on book number 17 in Brie’s Submissive series, and it’s time for baby girl Davis to make her appearance! (No, I’m not telling you the name.) The Davis’s want to surprise their good friend, and sometimes third, Rytsar. (I wonder if this is a permanent thing?)
While Brie is delivering the Baby, the guys encourage her with their own form of pain control, and Brie has some steamy sexual flashbacks that are probably illegal in a few countries. (Not to mention, what’s up with Master Anderson and Shea? Still a couple? I wasn’t happy with him being fantasy fodder or his admission of jealousy over Rytsar and Brie.)
Of course, there are lots of Brie’s fantasies that come to play in this book, and she’s got quite the imagination!
Of course, things aren’t sunshine and roses for the couple, and they have a few obstacles in their path. But as always, Sir and Brie triumph!

OMG THIS BOOK!!! It was so great to be able to catch up with a few of the other characters from the series. I loved that Rytsar was a HUGE part of this installment and hope that that continues when it comes to those 3. I felt that a majority of this book was done via flashback and had a less is more feeling. However, I find that it was mostly due to the length of the book. If it was longer, then the flash backs would not have been an issue. Overall, this was an amazing book and was so exciting to read. One thing you can be guaranteed will happen while reading a book from this series, is being placed on a roller coaster of intense emotions. You will laugh, you will cry, you will say Red how could you, but ultimately you'll be back for more. Can't wait for the next one! "I demand a safeword" indeed. LOL.

I loved this book! I wanted more of the ending... I’ve been wanting to read this book since Red Phoenix announced that she was working on it so I definitely took my time with it. I laughed, screamed and cried. I was on the edge with this book. I'm in awe that Red Phoenix can make me experience all of this in one book. Definitely caught my emotions by surprise and didn’t let go through the whole book. It was perfect; definitely a must read! I finished this book in one sitting and that says something. The story was very well written, with interesting scenes, and lovable main characters. What I liked the most is that Red Phoenix gives you the chance to feel the connection between the characters. I can't wait for the next book Red Phoenix comes out with. I love all of her books; she is such a great author.
