Vows That Bind

By: Cynthia Dane, Hildred Billings

Narrated by: Leanne Woodward

The heart knows what it wants…

If experienced lifestyler Jewel Kane could have anything, it would be the perfect mistress - bold, commanding, and consuming her every breath. That’s why her friends introduce her to a niche matchmaking service that will make her forbidden dreams come true. She only needs to show up to a media mogul’s high-rise office for the first date of a lifetime.

The body knows what it needs…

Recently burned by the love of her life, entrepreneur Elena Zelenko has a heart harder than steel and colder than ice. Yet when she meets Jewel, she becomes instantly attached. Not that Elena believes anyone could replace the woman she once loved more than her career, she doesn’t believe in miracles, no matter how perfect and natural they feel in her bed.

The more the dates go by, however, the more Elena realizes that Jewel may be her last chance at lasting happiness. Their instantaneous chemistry and ravenous hunger for one another can’t be a fluke.

The soul knows what it yearns to have…

A romantic weekend in New York seals their fate. Elena and Jewel enter the most legally binding contract that two women can sign. What ensues is the epic fallout of their whirlwind affair.

While optimistic Jewel embraces her new life as the partner of the city’s toughest Domme, Elena spirals into self-doubt and regrets about her life before Jewel. If they are to remember why it feels so right, they’ll have to prove that their love is more than pageantry and passion.

It’s destiny.

Vows That Bind is an insta-love tale with a happy ending. It features a couple who embrace an alternative full-time lifestyle.

wow

I loved how the characters motivations was always kinda obvious and how the conflict came as more of a subconscious thing instead of a outward threat it's so sweet to see how the resolve the self doubt together

I love this

I want more of this. I'm so interested in this life style. I love it and you making it all the more clearer

Great listen!

Kinky sex scenes and an amazing story line! I really enjoyed this book!! I would def recommend reading it

I love this story with my whole heart!!

Everything about this story was exciting and riveting, speaking to my soul in a very special way. The author did a phenomenal job delicately introducing every character, while taking great strides to keep the reader in suspense, knowing we wanted to know more about Elena and Jewel's most passionate desires and deepest thoughts. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for a beautiful lesbian bdsm love story that doesn't contain stereotypical story lines. An excellent book and an excellent performance. So well done! 👏🏾

Outstanding

These two writers just bring you to heights of passion and depts of despair hoping that the two people, that you will fall in love with, will have a relationship that will survive. The sex scenes can set your hair on fire, lol, but the plot and anxiety will make you want more.

Very good

This book has bdsm and has sharing partners according to bdsm fashion. If you don’t like that you won’t want to read it. I was worried about the ending but I tried to remember that in the discretion it said it has a happy ending. And it did. So for that I am great full. I am excited to read the second book of this story. I hope that it still has a happy ending with same people in the end together. It’s a spicy story and keeps you anticipating bad things to happen but they work out so that is good.

A must

I really liked Elena’s character and I loved the story. The narrator was not bad. Even though it sounded like she had a stiff nose! But it didn’t ruin the book for me! It was a really nice story overall.

A fine story w BDSM

A few of the BDSM scenes were a bit stronger than I’m accustomed to, but still an enjoy listen. It’s always nice to see the vulnerability in some of the dominants in these stories.

Strong WLW BDSM Romance

I would say that out of the 4 books in this series that I've read so far, this has the strongest scenes of BDSM. There is pet role play, a partner being given to another, domestic discipline (you really feel badly for Jewell here) and all of the other kink. This focuses on dominance/submissive as it plays out in day to day life, how its incorporated into work, socializing, etc. Its heavy on the Dom POV, and also weaves a terrific story of Jewell and Elena.
2 of the supporting characters, Calli and Paris, i found extremely irritating. I could find nothing redeemable in Paris. She of the submissive bent, who can't make a decision on anything, without asking her Dom Calli first. Paris is that kid on the playground, who tells on everyone because she likes to see her friends get in trouble. The high pitched, airhead voice, made me wonder how this immature woman could ever be Jewell's best friend.
Calli was simply a bully, under the guise of a Dom, who took a 'watcher' role with Jewell, and was a constant thorn in Elena's side.
Some may say that the submissives, were coerced into giving their consent to participate in the scenes. I disagree. All of the submissives, wanted an older woman, to financially and emotionally support them. That is going to come with a price.

Wow! Jewel came through as the courageous heroine.

You two are something else. Your stories are leaving me emotionally drained. So many of these audio books would make absolutely fascinating movies, of course I would probably lose sleep and my eyesight.
