5 Star Review of Tied To Hope (Brie’s Submission #18) by Red Phoenix
Another wonderful story in the Brie series by Red Phoenix and what an addition Tied To Hope is. This book was everything I had hoped for and oh so much more now that we have returned to Brie, Sir and the members of the training center family.
I was riveted to this book from the first page till the last and could not put it down, reading well in to the night.
There was so much emotion invoked whilst reading this story and it was good to see Lea and Mary, although I do wish they were both in a better place than they are at the moment.
There were times that my heart broke for Rystar, he has been through so much and yet there is more to come. This is an emotional roller coaster of a read and I was at times devastated as I devoured the story.
Of course there was plenty of steam and the book sizzled as you would expect from Ms.Phoenix but underlying all of this was emotion , love and family.
Reading Tied To Hope, I felt as though I was coming home, such is the magnetism of these characters. You become invested in each and every one of them and I cannot wait to see what Red Phoenix has in store for them.

"This little one ties all of us together. Her happiness will be our happiness."
Tied to Hope was another enjoyable read in the Bries Submission series. I swear it don't matter how many books I read in this series I can never get enough of all these characters. Phoenix has such a knack for pulling out all the emotions with her writing. I loved the way the emotions just flowed through the words of this story. I laughed. I cried. I swooned. This story was a true emotional roller coaster ride I would be more than willing to ride again. But underneath all that emotion the authors intent was clear, family is everything. And honestly I can't think of a stronger family bond then the characters of Bries Submission. They may be friends by choice, but they are family by heart. I loved catching up with Mary and Leah. They are still some of my favorite characters. I am still holding out hope we will be getting books from them eventually. *wink wink*
"We'll never give up because we're condors."
Sir and Brie will forever be one of my favorite couples! Watching them develop and grow throughout this series has been fantastic expirence. From the unconditional love they share, to the complete support and respect they have for each other is beautiful. Their devotion to eachother just pulls you in. Watching their journey through life with Hope now is truly wonderful. And I LOVED the chemistry between Rytsar, Sir and Brie. It was seriously off the charts y'all!! It sizzles and cracks from your kindle like a live wire. And oh man did things get steamy! Some of them scenes was some of the authors best scenes yet! And I would be lying if I didn't say I'm absolutely partial to Rytsar. He's the one Dom who I think will always dominate my heart above all the others. I am rooting for all the characters in this journey. I am so excited to see where the author and these characters take me next!
"Radost moya..." Her pet name rolled off his lips like a love song."
*4&1/2 STARS
Well earned for another fantastic installment to the Bries Submission world. I can not recommend this book and series enough. It is captivating as it is beautiful.

Well Red brought me back to our well loved menage with a bang, I was crying within the first 5 pages! This book is an absolute delight to those of us that have followed the trials and triumphs of Brie, Thane and Rytsar through to the birth of Hope. As you would expect this book is filled to bursting with love, laughs and yep hot sexy scenes. That said, Red will always include a twist to the story and give her readers a little angst, producing both joy and tears (yes you will need tissues). I will not say too much about the story itself, that is laid out in the introduction when you research the book, you will get to meet up again with all the fantastic characters that we have come to know throughout the series which is awesome.
I have loved this series and this latest addition is no exception, however as I have said before sometimes I feel that the 'manly', 'masculine' etc., bit is slightly over egged. That is purely my own opinion and I have to say that Red is an accomplished writer who provides well developed story lines with excellent characters who we all come to love.
I received this book as an ARC and the review and opinions are given voluntarily.

This is another wonderful book in Brie’s submission series. There are so many things good to say about this that I don’t know where to start. I love Brie and Sir. Go read about the relationship they both have with Hope is amazing.
I love every one of the people in these books, and every story makes them feel like real people, and I enjoy learning more about their lives. There are many updates on other lives in the series, and at one point all of the people from Brie’s time at the Submissive training center are together again.
Rytsar gets news that alarms him, and he needs Sir and Brie’s support to face it. I love the way Rytsar loves Hope. He’s so good with her. I’ve always liked Master Anderson, so his appearance was a happy one for me!
What brings them all together again? What happens to Rytsar? What’s next? Two of these questions are answered in this book, one isn’t..... go ahead , go read it!

If you're like me, you've been on every journey Red Phoenix has taken with Brie and Sir from the very beginning. "Tied to Hope" was so anticipated by me; waiting to see where they would go next. Every twist and turn through the maze of emotions had me laughing, crying and just giddy with emotion myself. And Rytsar? Who doesn't love him? It was like Old Home Week to see all the characters again. To see how much they've grown and evolved. And especially to see how much deeper the bond between Sir, Brie, and Rytsar has gotten. The family is growing by leaps and bounds and Red Phoenix is in charge of the reunion. If you've been following along, you won't want to miss this one. If you haven't? Oh, by all means, jump aboard. You'll never regret it. I was lucky enough to be given a copy of this book and am proud to give my honest and voluntary review.

Brie and Thane are ready to move to their new home. Being close to Rytsar is what they want. Living on the beach is a dream come true. Life is looking good all around.
As they move and settle into their new home, they are grateful for their baby (Hope) and the closeness to that big Russian. All is fine until he receives a letter from an old lover from Russia. His world is in turmoil and they are about to lose him again. It is the love and closeness they feel that will see them through.
There are a lot of memories and recollections in this book as well as Brie's fantasies. Yet, it is worth reading for the new turmoils that hit their lives and the trip down memory lane.

5 Stars is never enough for a Red Phoenix book!!
Tied to Hope is #18 in a long line of hot sexy fun and lots of love! This group of characters has had me laughing crying and even grabbing a fan to cool myself off! In this story we are asked " What would you sacrifice for love?" Our sexy trio is faced with a challenging twist (leave it to Red to keep us on her emotional roller coaster) how will this play out and who will help this trio ? I have loved following Brie's Submission for the past 6.5 years. I feel as if I know each of these characters intimately. This newest edition has greatly surpassed all my expectations!

Tied to Hope
Wow, I can tell you how much love and emotion this book has taking me through. I love the bound that Rytsar has with the Davis’s. It’s a bound that’s respected by their community. I also, love how little Hope has the magic touch to bring everyone together. I must say she is every bit as her namesake. She brings light in your darkest moments. Above all I love how Thane and Brie comes together to fight for Anton. I can’t wait to read more about Hope and her family.

Beautiful and touching
While I know that I've said this before but, this series keeps getting better and better with every book! I never have to think twice about buying one of Red Phoenix's because I know with absolute certainty that I will LOVE whatever she has written and this book just proves that! Keep listening to your muses and I'll keep buying!

Wow! You've done it again, Red Phoenix. I couldn't put it down. So emotionally charged. I kept thinking what happens next? Brie and Sir welcome Rytsar home and then the twists begin. I'm hoping there is more coming.....what will be next?

This is my favorite Brie book since Tono - so it has been awhile. I just love Rytsar so much. I hope Brie gives him a baby one day.

Tied to Hope
This segment of the storyline gives us a seriously emotional journey for Rystar. It also gives us quite a unique look into Sir, Brie & Rystar’s relationship as a ménage threesome. The love between the three of them is exponential. It is beyond anything you can compare to and gives you so many feelings to explore and work through on your own. How 2 very dominant men can love and share the same woman with no jealousy or envy or conditions — just love, always love. Then it’s equally as amazing that Rystar dismisses himself out of their marriage as easily as he inserts himself. It’s miraculous really and evokes so many emotions. Not everyone may understand their relationship, but it works for them and for you as a reader. By book 18, you are no longer questioning it, you just understand it to be true!! I love this series so much and give kudos to Red for bringing this lifestyle to us in such a respectful, interesting & emotional way! We are all invested in their lives now! How could we not be! A must read for anyone who wants to fall in love! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another wonderful story in the Brie series.
Brie, Thane and baby Hope are a very happy unit. With Thane taking to fatherhood like a natural.
We catch up with Lea and Mary which is always fun.
Rystar is adorable with hope but i just wish he could just catch a break.
Of course there was plenty erotica but i have to say i genuinely feel more invested in the characters than the steamy bits (of course i read the steam!! ha) but i do love to catch up with the others. It really is all about love and family and looking out for each other.

The strength of three
I enjoyed learning more about Brie's relationship with Sir and the Russian. I learned that their love goes so much deeper than just sex. The love that Sir shows Hope is so much better than Brie could hope for. He shows his love for Brie and Hope more openly not as guarded as before the accident. Sir and Brie stand next to Russian when he needs the strength of true friends in his time of upheaval. Their love and strength helps him make piece with himself to get through this trying time.

The 18th book in Red Phoenix’s Brie’s Submission series is Tied to Hope. My heart absolutely broke for Rytsar in this story. He has been through so much heartache and there is even more heading his way. This story is an absolute roller coaster but it is worth it! The bond between Thane and Brie continues to strengthen but their bond with Rytsar becomes even stronger.. Full of hot steamy moments that will leave you gasping for breath and fanning yourself! I can’t get enough of these characters or this story!!!

Exploring Brie's Submission.
In the last week I have read the first 18 books of Brie's Submission. I have cried, laughed, experienced a new world that I did not know existed. I felt submerged in each experience with Brie and her friends. I wish I was part of the story. I wish I could experience this lifestyle myself. I am 63 and feel it is too late for me. I encourage you to enter into Brie's experience and enjoy yourself.....

Wow, what a twist with her jumping there toward the end. So glad Rytsar doesn't have to move yet, will he keep his lake house or did it already sell? Still no info on what's up with Holloway and I'm surprised Brie hasn't been able to get anything from Mary regarding it. When does Brie get pregnant again? How long till she gets to start on Alonzo's story? Guess that Lilly must still be in solitary as nothing else has been said.

Brie Rocks!!!
Hope is the luckiest little girl. She has a perfect Papa, a mommy & a dyadya who all love her with every inch of their lives. Thane & Brie move to the beach, Rytsar has some trouble in Russia, as usual they work together& fix everything by loving each other!!! Thanks Red!!

Brie, Thane and Rystar was comical in this book. The love they have for each other is refreshing to see. I know this series will end soon but to see how far they have come as a family was great to see. These three have a love this is strong and very much worth fighting for. You have to read from book 1 to understand the dynamics of this family. It keeps you begging for more.

Timeline…
The only thing I’m having issues with is the timeline of events. Years seem to have passed when it read to me that Thane collared Brie - they got engaged perhaps that same year - and then she was pregnant with Hope. Where did the ‘years’ come in? I’m confused 😕….

Such a good book. I was expecting the worst but it worked out for the best. Not as much angst as the previous books, which was good my emotions needed a rest.

What a gut wrenching story, poor Rystar. It was great having everyone together again in the end. Brie and Sir have come so far.

Captivating
I absolutely love this series. I was so happy to hear from Brie again and get to see Hope grow. Rytsar, Sir and Brie's relationship blossom.
