I loved this dark romance. Mason and Savannah’s story was so hot. Each book in this whole series has been exceptional. The author does an amazing job of drawing the reader into her dark and twisted stories. She writes with such depth and detail, which makes it impossible to put her books down.

Bound by Dani Rene is book 5 in the Sins of Seven Series. This is the story of Mason and Savannah.
I haven't yet read the previous book so for me this was a standalone book.
Mason pretty much knew that Savannah was for him when they met. Mason is a strong leading man who likes the BDSM scene and he knows that Savannah would make a great submissive. Savannah was strong in her own right even though she choice the submissive role in their play. But they both have things from their past that comes forward that they will have to deal with.
I am such a fan of Ms. Rene's writing so happy this book just reminded me why I am a fan.

Mason and Savvie’s story had me holding my breath more often then not. This is the fifth book in this series and I still cannot get enough of these characters and the club. When the heat is on it’s burning, the Dom and Submissive scenes are written so well that you can visualize what’s happening before your eyes. We’re given a sexy read mixed with a bit of suspense from time to time. I highly recommend you bump this book to the top of your TBR list.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Far too beautiful. I shouldn't bring her inot this life. My secrets are far too deadly. Promises will be broken, but deception is right at my door. Now I have a choice tomake. Love or Blood.
I just have to say first that I am so glad that I get to read these books that Dani Rene' puts out into the world. I love dark books and she excels at them! Bound is no different and I was hooked from the beginning. This is the story of Mason and Savannah and the fifth book in her Sins of Seven Series. This is the first book that I have read in this series so I am sure they can all be read as standalones. They all just revolve around one of the seven deadly sins. Mason is a man who is running a BDSM club with his best friend. Seven Sins is one of the most exclusive clubs in the city and Mason needs it to stay that way for he is hiding a huge secret. Savannah applies for a job there to be the submissive who does rope play with Mason. She to is carrying a huge secret and is there for revenge not to fall in love but shen Mason asks her to be his submissive and years fly by revenge is replaced by love and neither one of them has revealed their closely kept secrets. These two are so good together and will have you swooning in so many places and this book is filled with heat!! However after four years have passed and no one had budged on their secrets you can bet the time has come for them to come flying out of the woodwork. This book is nothing short of amazing and I devoured it in like a day!!! You do not want to miss this and I am so exctied to go back and read the other four books that I have missed since I just now discovered this series.

I have read every one of these books in the Sins series, and I have to say that Bound is one of the tamest. Mason is one of the owners of Seven Sins, and it is his salvation. When Savannah comes in for a job, he knows he will make her his queen.
There are no other characters that could be better suited for each other. Even with Savannah being the submission, Mason takes care of her in and out of the bedroom. She is his queen. However, things are going on in the background that might tare them apart. Will Mason and Savannah's love be enough to make it through?
If you haven't started this series, you don't have to read them in order (I would) but if you don't this would be the one, to begin. It is a great way to start with these characters and gets you going with getting your feet wet.

I absolutely loved Mason and Savannah's story! These two characters fit perfectly together. We have gotten glimpses of these two from the other stories in this series, and now it's their turn. Mason is dark and mysterious and Alpha. He knows what he wants and will do whatever he needs to to get it and to keep it. Savannah has secrets and a story of her own but she loves with her whole heart. These two wonderfully written characters stole my heart from the very beginning. And the twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Probably my favorite story in this series so far! Dani blew me away with this one!

I am not sure how to start this review because my mind is still reeling. This story was so effing amazing and a such a crazy ride that I loved every minute of it! Yes this is dark, suspenseful, and romantic it also was full of secrets and pasts and when they come back they come back with a vengeance and boy oh boy Savannah and Mason will have to fight for their relationship and love.
Mason knows once he sees Savannah she is going to be his. He wants her as his submissive and he wants to take care of her and love her like she deserves. As they embark on this journey it is not easy because they both have secrets and pasts that come back to bite them in the arse. Can these two survive the worse and become the perfect Master and Pet? Or will the past destroy them?

This is a standalone but as I’m loving this series I highly recommend you read them all as they are all so good.
Now we get to read Mason and Savannah’s story and their story is definitely worth waiting for.
Mason runs a BDSM club. As soon as he sees Savannah he knows he wants her as his submissive.
Both have secrets they need to overcome...can they make it?
This is a brilliantly written dark read with some hot sexy off the charts scenes that I loved. I’m so looking forward to reading more from this author. This was definitely a one sitting read for me.

Dear Lord! What did I just read?? This book was hotter than sin. I am absolutely without a doubt in love with Mason. The gorgeous mystery man of the hour. I love dark reads and this book was dark, page turning, suspense, with steam coming out of my Kindle yummy.

Welcome to the club Seven Sins, a place where you can satisfy all fantasies and needs. Seven Sins. A place where scenes are the order of the day, and the kink is up to you.
Mason Gianetti is one of the owners of the club along with Carrick.
“I like to enjoy one woman at a time. Really savor her. It’s my pride. I want to completely own a woman in the moments I’m with her. “When I take a woman, a slave, a submissive, it’s because she’s special. I don’t fuck around. And I certainly don’t get a hard-on for any random fucking woman.”
It’s been 4 years since Savannah crossed the doors of the club for a job interview with Mason. He got enamored with her as soon as he met her, and he offered her a job and the possibility of became his submissive on the same day.
“When I first met her, I was enamored with the blonde beauty who was so different from the girls I grew up knowing. She gripped me more than any submissive I’d ever come across. Before her, I was a man with no emotions. Cold. Heartless. Rabid. Four years, and I’ve hidden myself from her. I know I need to let Savannah go. But I’m a selfish bastard. Arrogant, filled with pride.”
Mason’s cousin visits the club to tell him that it is time for him to take up his position in the family business, Capo of the Cosa Nostra. He has always hidden his past from Savvie and knows that is is time to break up with her, bc he doesn’t want to drag her into that life and put her in danger. He is torn between doing the right thing, leave her or keep her forever.
““Mine. You’re fucking mine, Savannah,” he grits out. I’m so confused I can’t answer him to agree. “Never leave me. Please.” This time, he begs. Mason has never pleaded with me. He’s never sounded so anguished. “Just never walk out.”
“The thing is, he doesn’t realize I do know who the real Mason Gianetti is. He doesn’t know I learned about his family long before I set foot in Seven Sins. And he doesn’t know I came here because of him.”
Savvie has not been totally honest with Mason since she has always known who he really was, but Mason doesn’t know Savvie’s true identity and if he discovers the truth, her life will be at serious risk.
“If there’s one thing I know about Mason, it’s that he’s filled with too much fucking pride to let what happened between us have him apologize for how he ended things.”
“Mason has always prided himself in getting what he wants.”

Love can bloom in the most unexpected circumstances. Mason is the mafia prince and owns the exclusive club Sins. Savannah willingly accepts the role of his submissive but she is hiding something monumental from Mason. Mason has own dark and bloody secrets. When family duty calls Mason and he learns the truth about her past, everything breaks down. Savannah is so confused between her true feelings about Mason and her own agend. What will happen to them?
It's been a long time since I have read a true BDSM romance that I loved so much. The chemistry between Mason and Savannah is simply exhilarating. The story has a complex story line. The characters and plot have many interconnected pieces of puzzles but the author made them fall into right place at the right time. The result was exquisitely crafted story of love, passion, crime and mindgames. The sex scenese were explosive and raw. They captured the dominant-submissive play perfectly and also managed to show us the true feelings of the lead couple. The suspense and thriller made it an even more enjoyable reading experience.
Dani Rene takes us to a breathtaking journey of twisted and violent love. And I was left breathless and amazed.

Yes! Yes! YES!!! Holy. Freakin' crap!! Bound is an amazing, rock-AWESOME addition to the Sins of Seven series by Dani Rene!! Buckle-up and get ready because you will NOT be able to put this baby down once you start.
I was never a fan of dark romances and Dani’s name never crossed my path. When I was introduced to the blogger world a year ago, a couple of friends told me I had to read her work as well as this series. I was skeptical. I was afraid I was going to hate it and have to face them and say: “Well, I did not like it.” Well, you know what? I ATE my words!! Where has Dani been all this time??!!
Mason and Savvie come from very different backgrounds. He is a Mafia Prince and she is a cops daughter. They may have come together because they share the same infatuation with BDSM, but there are always secrets lurking. Will these two be able to have a happy ever after? Or is it all too good to be true?
Prepare yourself for hot sex, angst and a whole bunch more!! I can go on all day about this book and series but I just have one thing to say: READ IT!!!

Dani Rene knows exactly how to bind readers with her words. It’s impossible to put this book down. I needed to know what would happen next and as always Dani delivered a tale of epic emotional proportions.
The character development in this book is so detailed it leaves me in awe. From the small nuances to the explosive chemistry between the main characters it kept me on the edge of the seat. The secondary characters are all well rounded and not a facet is overlooked. This book is a standalone within a series and even if someone hasn’t read the previous books (I highly recommending doing so), the world building is vivid enough it felt like I was right there every breathtaking moment of the way.
This book contains the constant emotional turbulence and twists that such a talented author like Dani can deliver. It’ll also have you twisting in your seat while reading some of the hottest, sexiest scenes to grace the pages. I’m glad I was reading it in private! Each word ran deeper than the previous, almost impossible to believe. I’d like to note as well that Dani truly respects and understands the BDSM community and it makes her books a treat to read.
5 stars for a scorching and emotionally binding read!

Dani Rene’s Bound is a riveting dive into the tangled web of duty, deception, and forbidden love. Set against a backdrop of dark family loyalties and dangerous secrets, this novel grips you from the first page and doesn’t let go.
The protagonist is ensnared by a vow to his bloodline, a commitment that dictates his every move and threatens to keep him shackled to a life of secrecy and peril. His world shifts dramatically when he encounters a captivating woman whose beauty and innocence starkly contrast the grim realities he faces. This encounter forces him to confront a harrowing choice between the blood-soaked promises of his past and the possibility of a future bound by love.
Rene masterfully balances intense emotional stakes with the suspense of a high-stakes thriller. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, making their struggles all the more compelling. The novel is a passionate exploration of how far one will go to reconcile duty with desire, and the high price of love when weighed against a lifetime of loyalty and deception.
Bound is a must-read for fans of dark romance and dramatic tension, offering both a heart-pounding narrative and a profound examination of the choices that define our lives.

Fabulous 5 star read....
The fifth book in the series, and these suspenseful stories of sins, and awakening desires continue to intrigue and captivate...this is my favourite book so far, and that is saying something..
I love Mason and Savannah these two have such depth to their personalities...Mason has a dark past, resulting in a complex and conflicted character...on the surface his life seems perfect as co - owner of an exclusive BDSM club...but appearances can be deceptive...and when the beautiful and submissive Savannah walks into Mason’s life, hard choices must be made...
The greatest skill of this author is in creating such wonderfully flawed and yet empathetic characters who find themselves in unenviable positions... the protagonists in Bound are no exception. their lives are irresistibly and inexplicably entwined and their journey filled with anguish, loss, and acceptance..
In amongst the darkness and intensity, there is a touching love story full of passion and heat, but sometimes love is not enough...this is a fabulous 5 star addition to this addictive series...I received an advanced copy of this book from the author.

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Dani René!
I absolutely loved this book. It wasn't overly dark, it was suspenseful, angsty and oh so delicious. I'd been waiting for Mason's story for so long having seen him appear in the previous Sins of Seven books, and his story was most definitely worth the wait.
Savannah and Mason and complex and original. There were plot twists I didn't see coming AT ALL, and I'm usually good at predicting them! I absolutely loved how captivating they are as a couple. You feel their connection jump off the pages. Truly electric.
There is just so much to love about this book, the broken-ness (yes I just invented a word) of Mason, the complex past of both the characters, as well as their present and future. It is such a layered story. The plot is expertly crafted and keeps you reeling until the very end.
Lastly, Dani René's writing was beautiful in this story. I love the way she reinforces the theme and uses the same word to symbolise different things. It gives the book a certain unity and coherence I love to find. Definitely a must-read.

Bound is suspenseful, emotional with HOT HOT scenes!
Mason Gianetti is bound to a life that he can't walk away from. He needs to take his place at the top - but does he really want it?
Savannah Cunningham walked into Seven Sins for a reason, to get revenge. Not to fall for one of the owners. Is revenge still on her list?
Mason is an alpha male who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go for it. Savannah is sweet and innocent looking but has a fire burning inside.
They both have secrets that they're keeping from each other. How long will those secrets stay secret for?
Dani René has pulled me back into the Seven Sins world with characters and a storyline that keep me reading. I loved both of the main characters and the chemistry between them. I love that every book is interconnected and we get bits of previous characters in each book, but they can be read as standalones too. Bound is, so far my most favourite book in the series.
I can't wait for the next in the Sins of Seven series.

I think this is actually a 4.5*.
I've read all of the Sins of Seven books, and I really enjoy all of them. Each couple has so much to go through and so much love to share. The nice thing about having read all those books is that I'm familiar with Mason and Savannah, our couple in this one. They have always been the perfect couple and the one that everyone wants to be.
We get to see how Savannah and Mason became Savannah and Mason. I mean, they didn't just automatically start that way. They had to start somewhere, and it's really nice to get the backstory on their relationship and see how it starts, and that was quite nice to know.
On top of that, we get the backstories of Mason and Savannah, as individuals as well. We get a lot of insight into each of them and why things happen the way they do at certain points. I'm looking back at certain things in the books and seeing them in different lights because of the backstories and the insights we get.
I really love the two of them, and I was so happy to get their story. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
I've read all of the Sins of Seven books, and I really enjoy all of them. Each couple has so much to go through and so much love to share. The nice thing about having read all those books is that I'm familiar with Mason and Savannah, our couple in this one. They have always been the perfect couple and the one that everyone wants to be.

Not Quite As Expected.
Soooooo, Mason and Savvie have been a couple in the background since the very first book and I was eager to see their story. But, maybe it's more about my hopes and expectations for these two but this one wasn't it. It a decent enough story but to me it lost something Dani Rene has managed throughout this brilliant series and, for me it simply felt rushed and lacking.
I think, with the way Mason and Savvie have been portrayed in the previous books, I felt this was all suddenly turned on its head and the passion of who they are got lost as the story unfolded. I realise that who we knew was all a rouse for both of them but, I just felt sad and frustrated that this couple weren't as well written as all those in the previous book.
That being said, it's not a bad story and again, as with all of these, can be read as stand alone, though you will get more pleasure from reading them all. For me, this one sadly didn't work but it's personal preference and shouldn't stop you from seeing where Mason and Savvie 's story goes!

Wow! Just an incredible wow! One of my favorite genres is BDSM and I wish I could give this book more than five stars as it deserves so much more! I’ve been waiting for the story of Mason and Savvie and this surely doesn’t disappoint! Savvie meets Mason at his BDSM Club to interview for a job and they are completely enamored with each other from the very beginning. Needless to say the chemistry between them is chart topping sizzling! But while Mason and Savvie should be together, can they make it work? This story also has all the feels...lust, sadness, happiness, intrigue, mystery and even love. This author completely and truly is amazing and talented. I loved every minute of this book so much that I read it in one sitting! This is one of my absolute favorite series and love the fact they can all be read as standalones. I can’t wait for the next one to come out! Trust me, you need this book in your life!

Wow! What an amazing hot sexy emotional ride! Once I started reading I couldn't stop. Bound is the 5th book in the Seven Sins series. I love this series so much and I just can't get enough. I've been waiting on Mason's story and I have to say it was everything I was hoping for and more. Mason is a tall dark handsome dominant Italian stallion. He's half owner in a BDSM club and that's where he meets and employs the smart sweet sexy blonde haired blue eyed Savannah (Savvie). The chemistry and passion between them is so hot and undeniable that it just pulls you in. Even though they have such a beautiful connection and you feel the love between them things aren't always as perfect as it appears to be. Mason and Savvie's past come back to test their love and strength. Will their love be able to rise above it? If you haven't read the whole Seven Sins series I highly recommend it. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Ms. Rene delivers a story filled with intrigue,suspense,secrets and sex.
Everything blends together for one wild thrilling read.
Mason has this alluring aura surrounding him.
His sexiness,his confidence,his dominance and his mysterious life grabs the attention and it doesn’t let go.
Savannah is like sunshine. She’s bright and kind.
She has a natural ability to bring a smile to others and lights up a room.
The minute Mason and Savannah met they are dawn to one anther.
Their attraction is not only instantaneous but it’s intense.
I could feel their sizzle and need for each other coming off of the pages.
When the past comes alive and starts knocking into the present things are about to come to a volcanic explosion!
I loved everything about this book.
The sexiness,the love story and the turmoil that is Mason and Savvie had me riveted and held my full attention from beginning to end.
And omg that cover is everything!

Mason and Savannah were the golden couple of Seven Sins. In the other books, we saw them take to stage and like the bounds Mason tied around her, their love seemed that much secure. I was really intrigued and looking forward to their story because nothing can be this perfect in Dani Rene's world without the character (and the reader!) going through a trial by fire.
Sins are the downfall of humanity, and one's lust for power, lust for money, lust for all things deadly has brought back a past into Mason and Savvie's present that threatens their picture-perfect future. That storm is enough to shake up their foundation, but Ms. Rene has written a story of boundless love that holds up to anything and everything under the sun. Plus the BDSM elements were beautifully choreographed to get the temperature up, but also the twists and turns were not something one will see coming.
I truly enjoyed this story by far and can't wait to see how this epic saga are concluded in the upcoming books.

Bound was a hot and steamy 5 star read and is book five in the Sins of Seven series.
I loved Mason and Savvie’s story. I’ve been patiently waiting for this story.
Savvie comes to the club and does an interview with Mason to be his sub and do scenes with him. Mason gets attached pretty quickly and he doesn’t share. The connection these two is off the charts hot, they were made for each other.
I knew for a fact that Savannah would be my end. -Mason
We jump ahead a few years, Mason has a secret that he is keeping from Savvie and Savvie also has a pretty big secret of her own. What will happen if their secrets come out?
My gosh the twist and turns in this book kept me quickly turning the pages. I thought I had a favorite in the last book but Mason has stolen my heart. Dani Rene does a great job of pulling your right in with her writing and I can’t wait to read the next book in this must read series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

He leads a double life, and hides it from the world.
A mere 22 years old yet she stands tall in a well known bdsm club. Her fears and nerves simmering below the surface.
A desire to walk the path of a submissive, to return to what she loved and needed.
Tall dark and handsome is he. Captivating making everything easier supposedly.
She has a secret... he has a secret, can the past prevent their future?
I love Danis style of writing and I've already read a few books by her. Thus I was super excited when I heard about this.
I was not disappointed!! The twists and turns, the depth of the story and the unique characters had me hooked!
Mason is domineering, determined and always gets his own way. Whilst he might appear cold and calculating love softens his rough edges.
Savannah is strong willed and feisty, a true warrior. Her heart and head constantly fighting to rule her.
Love, darkness and violence, make for a fantastic read especially when written by Dani!

I am a big fan of the Sins of Seven series and Bound just cinched that desire anew -
I had a bit of trouble in the beginning but once the story began to unravel I was unable to look away - The moment of revelation was one I will not soon forget - I can truly say hold on this one gets a bit bumpy
Savannah had originally come to the club with a darker intent than just exploring her submissive side - She had researched Mason and he was what she wanted and she knew just how to get him
Mason has his secrets - some much darker than others - four years ago when Savannah walked into his club he knew she was an answer to his unknown question - Then Mason could never have envisioned the events that simple decision would set into motion
Can two tormented and lost souls find mercy in a world that offered only darkness?
Can the woven web of lies and betrayal be unbound and if so can forgiveness be granted?
Another exceptional addition to the Seven Sins Series

After 4 years together their pasts are about to crash land in their present and for one of this hot Bound couple a secret will be revealed that they could never possibly have imagined.

But like every relationship throughout time it comes with it's ups and downs.
Can these 2 survive all that's about to come their way? Or will the sins of the past be too much for their tight bond to bare?
That I'm not going to tell you. You'll have to step inside Sevens Sins and allow Mason & Savvie to tell your their own stories.

This is a super-hot dark romance that I really enjoyed. I read this book as a stand-alone with no problems. Mason knows from the moment he meets Savannah that she’d make the absolute perfect submissive – his perfect submissive. Savannah has a past and is the complete opposite of Mason, being a cops daughter while he’s a mafia man. The two meet when their common interest for BDSM has them crossing one another paths – things progress pretty quickly after they meet.
My absolute favorite part of this book was that though Savannah is Mason’s submissive she has backbone and doesn’t take crap from anyone. She’s a fierce character and one of my favorites I’ve read in a long while. I’d definitely recommend this book, especially if you’re looking for a hot read!
