About the author

USA TODAY bestselling author Stephanie Bond was seven years deep into a systems engineering career and pursuing an MBA at night when an instructor remarked that she had a flair for writing and suggested that she submit to academic journals. But Stephanie, a voracious reader, was only interested in writing fiction–more specifically, romantic fiction.

Upon completing her master’s degree and with no formal training in writing (her undergraduate degree is in computer programming), she started writing a romance novel in her spare time. Two years later in 1995 she sold her first manuscript, a romantic comedy, to Harlequin Books.

In 1997, with ten sales under her belt to two publishers, Stephanie left her corporate job to write women’s romantic fiction full-time. In 2011,

Stephanie launched a self-publishing business. Since that time, she has sold more than 1 million copies of her own books. To-date, Stephanie has published over 70 novels and has over 6 million copies of her work in worldwide distribution in numerous languages and formats.

Whew, pretty smoking for mainstream. "In A Bind" by Stephanie Bond is about a woman on the verge of marriage who has never explored her bondage fantasies. She meets a sexy stranger with a talent for ties...need I say more? A quick read and an inexpensive light bondage fix!

Very hot, very sexy. I'm especially impressed as I normally dislike books where the engaged heroine 'cheats'. But Bond did a great job of making seem pretty plausible. I can't say more without giving away some of the plot, so you'll just have to trust me on this one.

Nette Unterhaltung für zwischendurch.

Would have liked it more, but I am not a fan of cheating at all and that is all this book was.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I was all set not to enjoy it because I didn't enjoy her previous book 'Watch and Learn' which also features the lead female receiving a letter ten years later from her college professor. But this one was very enjoyable. Zoe, a flight attendant, is on her last international flight before she is to be married when she meets Colin and receives her letter she wrote ten years ago about her sexual fantasies. I won't go into great detail, but her fantasies include bondage. The story contains light bondage, so it's nothing to extreme for those who aren't a fan of it. The bondage isn't so overwhelming that it distracts you from the story. Overall, it's a nice light read for someone who is new to bondage novels that wants to try something light before moving into the darker bondage novels.

I give the author props for taking a risk by having the heroine about to be married to someone else when she embarks in a hot love affair with the Aussie hero. Not everyone could pull it off.

Still, she shows us their flaws and qualities, not to mention she takes us to the most gorgeous places in Australia.

I wish the heroine had solved her situation with her fiance a bit sooner though. Still, the end was cute and satisfying.

Wheeee!!! Super sexy real fantasy fun scorches across the pages in the second book of Sex for Beginners trilogy. At times I literally felt myself blush while reading the heated words. Had it not been for my crazy work schedule, I never would have put this book down. I just love the way Stephanie pulls the reader into thoughts of possibilities...fantasies that could actually happen! A little naughty goes a long way ;)

Sexy. Humurous. Romantic.

I'm definetely erading it again in the near future!

what else could you ask for? It being the first time i read something said to be an Erotica novel, I found myself enjoying it really quite very much. The characters were very likable especially The Aussie hottie Colin!! I absolutely adored him and Zoe!

What to say...other than just wow. I felt horrible for Kevin because she waited until the last moment possible. However, Erica could have spelled things out a little more clearer and this mystery woman has me tripping out. Please tell me where can I take a class like that via university with an assignments like these. Makes one wonder

If you are looking for a light erotica with a little bondage, this is a great option. Very hot and well-written, everything you expect in romance plots. Plus, a hot Aussie, all that and a bag of chips.

[Paisley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my favorite Stephanie Bond book. I recommend it to anyone who might want to read a story with a light bondage theme but shies away from anything too serious. It's a fun, sexy story that mostly takes place in Australia - with a hot Australian guy - what could be better than that?

[Maddie James · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are looking for a hint of erotica and some light bondage, this is a great option. Very hot and well-written with a tried and true romance plot. Plus, a hunky Aussie. What more could you want?

This book made me decide to read/collect Bond's books!
