Coaching Rayna #2: Bound Hearts

Rate this book
Rayna trusts him completely, and allows him to take her deeper into HIS world. Coach introduces her to the life he once lived, as Master Demon at the BDSM house, “Fallen”. Back then, he was free to set his Demon loose with masochistic women who craved his sadistic, dominant nature. While there, Coach insists she submit to him completely and without hesitation, but is he asking more of her than she can give? Will Coach accept the blooming friendship between Rayna and his ex-submissive, or will their tumultuous history cause problems? Now that he’s testing the freedoms of Demon, can their relationship survive the blending of past and present?

I’m an Amazon international top-selling author of Suspense Erotica. Often, I write contemporary, erotic romance novels containing BDSM content, that revolves around real life human issues we often face on a daily basis. Keeping the characters relatable to my readers helps to bring the stories to life.

My books aren't all about sex because our lives don’t revolve around sex, or at least they shouldn’t. The romance, love and tender moments are what keep us coming back for more.

We all want to be loved, adored and cherished, and BDSM gives us all of that and more. I want to show the pain and pleasure associated with the BDSM lifestyle, but also the unbreakable, loving commitment between the Dom and Sub. The trust built by this lifestyle is undeniable, and this is why I love writing in this sub-genre.

That’s not to say I don’t have a few short stories that aren’t strictly hot and naughty. Sometimes we need a little kick to get the juices flowing, so to speak, and why not quick erotica? They make for great bedtime stories.

Single mother Rayna is ten years older than her lover Coach. She’s working hard to raise her two teens as well as to move from being a mere dental hygienist to having her own practice. Fitting the dominant gym owner into her life isn’t easy, despite the bonds of both lust and love that draw them together.

Coach has had a lot of sex partners, but he has never loved a woman before Rayna. He adores her, and will do anything to keep her safe and happy. Intelligent and intuitive, he understands the importance of honesty in a serious relationship. Still, he hasn’t let her see the full ferocity of his sadistic desires, the alter-ego he calls Demon. Though Rayna enjoys submitting to him and seems to find their rough sex games supremely satisfying, he’s worried that he’ll scare her away, or lose control to the point that he actually hurts her.

Coach decides to introduce Rayna gradually to the S&M club that was formerly his domain, to his old friends both dominant and submissive, and to the extreme sexual practices he still craves. His beloved is nervous, but eager to expand her horizons. Then she plunges into an erotic relationship with Sara, one of Coach’s former slaves. Coach worries that Rayna will reject him when she sees how brutally he uses Sara and understands the true depths of his depravity.

Bound Hearts is the sizzling sequel to Pebbles Lacasse’s 2018 release Coaching Rayna. Like the first book, it does an impressive job portraying the complexities of a real world BDSM relationship. In the fantasy-influenced BDSM romances that are currently popular, heroines tend to be “natural submissives” who never question either themselves or their Dominants. There’s little uncertainty and few misunderstandings to mar the D/s scenes. In contrast, Rayna and Coach both have doubts about themselves and about one another. They don’t always tell the truth. They get annoyed, even angry. Rayna is sometimes aggressive, bossy or distant. Coach can be truly cruel. The point of view tends to alternate between Rayna and Coach, from one chapter to the next, so readers really have the chance to get inside both their heads.

This makes the story much more engaging and unpredictable than is usually the case in BDSM romance. I really didn’t know whether Coach would push Rayna too far, or whether she’d ultimately rebel. In reality, D/s involves a lot of negotiation and adjustment; this novel manages to capture this truth.

That being said, I felt that in some cases Rayna found it too easy to accept what she was doing (or what was being done to her). She might have misgivings before the fact, but in the heat of the moment she throws herself into the scene without hesitation. In particular, I thought her initial sexual encounter with Sara went too smoothly (and too far) to be believable. Although she’s already admitted to herself that she finds Sara attractive, going from there to mutual fisting in the space of an hour seems a bit much.

Balancing this occasional lack of plausibility are some of the most original and intense BDSM sex scenes I’ve read in a long time. I particularly loved the descriptions of bondage and suspension. Many BDSM books gloss over the erotic and aesthetic aspects of being tied up. Bondage (as Ms. Lacasse makes clear) is more than just a practical expedient for immobilizing a submissive. It can profoundly affect the emotions of both the sub and the Dom.

I also enjoyed the bisexual nature of the later encounters. Many romance authors shy away from portraying FF intimacy, because there’s a segment of the readership who find this “icky”. (This is a quote from one survey I did myself.) There’s no hint of same-sex interest in the first Coach book; I was delighted to find Ms. Lacasse expanding her horizons (and those of her characters) this way.

Like its predecessor, Bound Hearts suffers from some editing issues: grammar errors, particularly in the use of pronouns, and the occasional incorrect word choice (e.g. “reign” instead of “rein”). I found this a bit distracting, but the mistakes were not frequent enough to spoil my enjoyment.

Overall, I recommend Bound Hearts to anyone who likes their BDSM romance to be both hot and real.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

First off I have to say that OMG is this book steamy!!! I thought book one was but I do believe that this one just might give it a run for it's money. Rayna and Coach are comfortable with one another for the most by this point. This makes him feel like it is time to take her further into his world by taking her to an exclusive BDSM club. She gets a whole new world there that will broaden her horizons. When she meets an old sub of his the story just gets even more interesting. A hot steamy romance that takes you on a tour of bdsm world for a brief escape. While not my scene I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars. Perfect for fans of the genre or just those looking for a hot read as long as none of the above are triggers.

Pebbles Lacasse continues Rayna and Coach's story from the first book. As expected, their story is filled with some intense and very sexual moments between the two. I enjoyed the buildup and continuation! Although I rarely read BDSM, Rayna and Coach's story is much more than that. This is a love story where the heroine is essentially going through a sexual awakening with her significant other. The sex scenes were incredibly hot and erotic. Fans of the first book will absolutely be taken with this newest installment in the series

In this book, Coach is once again struggling with his feelings for Rayna and trying to reign in his "demons." Rayna continues to struggle with opening up to Coach. I like that Pebbles made this story a continuation of their feelings and experiences from the first book instead of something entirely new. Overall, I enjoyed my time with this book and highly recommend it to those who are looking for an extremely sexy read and taste of BDSM.

While following Rayna’s sexual journey was eye opening and erotic it was also slightly frustrating. You could feel her moral dilemma of letting go and experiencing all Coach was trying to offer her. Coach’s ability to rein in his demon for his love of Rayna was exhausting and made you question if he could do that for life. With Rayna opening herself to new situations you could feel their bond growing. Sara was the cherry on top and it was naughty and raunchy but sweet at the same time. Reading this story was like looking thru the keyhole of a new doorway.

This story is a story about love. Rayna has finally let Coach in , into her heart and house. Now that they were together they were learning each other. They were making their way thru this new relationship. They had many things to consider,to maneuver. She had the kids always in the forefront of her mind but also now there was Coach and the dominating way he loved her. She loved the way he was with her. He was a man worthy of her love, the way a woman should be treated, the way she deserved. Though she knew he had been holding back and that caused old insecurities to sneak back into her head. She knew he loved her and she him but was she enough for a man like him.
Join them on their journey. Ms Lacasse has such a way with words that you too will be swept away with them as they navigate
their love and in all the delicious ways they learn to show it!! These characters are quite endearing and in a different world I would love to sit have dinner and chat with them about many things. There is also a few things that happen that you probably did not see coming! I truly loved this look , it gives you the “ more” we romance readers always want just after the HEA! It is soooo worth your hard earned money and precious time. Enjoy!

Sizzling!

Coaching Rayna 2 is the second book in the Bound Heart series written by author Pebbles Lacasse. It is a smoking hot erotic romance, and it was so dang hot, I’m still trying to defog my glasses! Phew! This series has a continuous storyline, so I do recommend reading Coaching Rayna before beginning this one. I believe it will give you a better foundation to understand the dynamic between the two characters. Just know that it’s just a suggestion.

Coaching Rayna 2 begins where we were left off, with Coach living with Rayna and her two children. He continues to slowly introduce Rayna to his world of kink, but he’s a little nervous to show her everything. He decides to bring her to the underground club that he belongs to called Fallen Angel. Rayna begins to play, and she discovers that she enjoys a whole lot more than she realized!

This second book might be even hotter than the first book, and I didn’t know that was even possible! You’ll definitely need an extra pair of panties while reading this one!

Coach (Hero): I love Coach. I cannot imagine a better hero. He is sweet, adores Rayna, completely attentive to her wants & needs. Extremely cautious with her as he slowly begins to ramp up their BDSM bedroom activities.
Rayna (heroine): Meh. Do not care for her much at all. Didn't care for her in the 1st book either. She's not so bad that I actively dislike her character, but with how loving, careful & attentive Coach is with her I personally felt a lot of her negative musings about him were way off base considering they'd been together & living together awhile.
Rayna's sister (Secondary character): Loathed her in the 1st book & she's not any better in this one. Too bad you can't divorce blood relatives . . . .
The plot & writing: Coach, the plot & the writing induced me to give this 2nd book a try, & despite disliking Rayna & loathing her sister, I very much enjoyed this one. The plot & writing IMO are excellent, & I have to say if there is a 3rd I will certainly read it.

Coaching Rayna #2: Bound Hearts
By Pebbles Lacasse

This was my first book by this author so obviously I didn't read the first book in the series. I don't know if I would of had a better understanding of their relationship if I knew more of their backstory. With that being said I felt I got a clear idea of their dynamics and how Rayna was trying to ease out of her vanilla life into Coach's (Master Demon) life in the BDSM community even going to club Fallen. While he is trying to curb his masochistic desires so he doesn't scare her away. This to me was more than just a BDSM story it was a love story with two people learning to overcome, forgive, accept, and love.
I will definitely go back and read other books by this author and even go back and read the first one just to see if it makes this book even better knowing their story.

This is, obviously, the 2nd volume in "Coaching Rayna", so I stepped into it missing a wealth of backstory. It was easy enough to follow, however.

Reading this felt almost like voyeurism at times, it's such an intimate look at the workings of the two character's minds, for all the good and the bad that exists there.

Some of the scenes definitely pushed the boundaries of what I'm personally in to, but nothing over the top. If anything, it struck me as a supremely authentic presentation of BDSM, possibly the best I've ever read, and educational.

This is a good read. I'm uncertain if there will be a sequel or not. I would have interest in reading more from this author.

I loved reading the erotic love story of Coach and Rayna. Though a hardcore BDSM erotica at heart, Coaching Rayna is also a sweet love story that unfurls between Coach and Rayna. I love their playful banter and pranks. Both the characters are described well and scenes and events often leave me in awe. I wonder how beautifully the author has painted the emotions of both the characters. It’s a very well written book that shouldn’t be missed especially if you’re into reading BDSM erotica with generous sprinkles of emotions and romance thrown into it.

Holy crap this book is hot,hot,hot. I didnt think things between Rayna and Coach could get any sexier, but in this second book they do. I don't know if the way their relationship unfolds would work for me, but reading it is super sexy and the author writes it in a way that makes it feel like you're actually there. There is definitely a happy ending or three if you're that way inclined. Aside from the sex, there's such a gentle affection between the couple, it makes my heart ache a little for such a trust-filled and understanding love. A story of lust and love, highly recommended.

Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. With this story you feel like you are there watching. The details are outstanding the hot steamy sex, and some roll play of BDSM just to get you excited to give wet panties. Rayna is divorced with two children, Rayna was kidnapped and Coach saved her.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

4.5 stars Demon portrays two side of his sexuality, with Rayna he is loving and caring taming his demons. With Sara he is Demon very sadistic and cruel in his love making. It was an interesting book and a good read. Would have liked to know how Tim and Rayna's sister resolved their issues. Rayna really came out of her shell with a vengeance to allow Sara to become a third in their relationship.

This is a hardcore BDSM romance, but is so much more than that. Coach and Rayna have a playful banter outside of scenes and great dynamics overall. This is a love story that is filled with so many emotions. Very well written and detailed descriptions.

Such an intimate look inside the life of Coach and Rayna. These two have a relationship that as a reader we can feel the bond only get stronger and deeper.

This is a very well told BDSM story. It's so much more than that, one you will definitely want to explore and experience. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

Hot to the touch

I didn't know exactly what to expect when I read Coaching Rayna, but what I got was a great story with some very hot sex. Coaching Rayna 2 has a little less story, not implying it is worse, just less. It does have a lot more and much hotter sex. I really like the characters and hope to one day get inside Coach's and Rayna's heads. A great read.

A good read but complicated.
Like he’s into a certain type of relations that she as an older single mom has never witnessed or been part of.

There is an ongoing physical relation with another woman.
