Bound by Lust

Romantic Stories of Submission and Sensuality

By: Alison Tyler - forward, Shanna Germain - editor

Narrated by: Rose Caraway

Length: 6 hrs and 52 mins

Publisher's summary

Imagine finding a partner who is just as naughty, kinky, and dark as you are, a lover who wanders the hardware store with you in search of new "toys", a man who can wrangle both you and the dishes into submission, a woman who accompanies you to office parties and play parties. Think that heady combination of: sweet and sexy, dirty and romantic, love and leather.

Bound by Lust is a romantic, couples-focused erotica with a BDSM slant. The couples range from newly blossoming relationships, long-time loves, and reunited flames. The BDSM aspect of this is both naughty and nice - bondage, spanking, domination, submission, power-play, pain and pleasure, or whatever your dirty mind can think of. Bring on the rope and rough stuff, the dens and dungeons, the corsets and clamps, and cuffs. Romance can be a little rough and still have very happy endings!

In lust we trust!

Would you listen to Bound by Lust again? Why?

I will listen again. This book has a great stable of very talented authors. And Rose Caraway is the perfect narrator for this.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed all of the stories in this anthology. Two of my favorites were "Reclaiming Spring" by the wonderfully talented and delightful Sommer Marsden. And "Devil's Night" by Veronica Wilde.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were several moments that moved a certain part of me. *ahem* Yeah.

Any additional comments?

From the foreword by Alison Tyler to the end of the last story this book was very good and very sexy. With talented authors such as Sommer Marsden, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Kristina Wright, Just to name a few how could you go wrong!? Shanna Germain did a fantastic job selecting stories for this anthology. And to top it all off it is narrated by my favorite sexy librarian, Rose Caraway.

Couldn't ask for much more from this title. It was pretty much perfect. Definitely worth a credit or purchase!

Get bound up with Rose Caraway

If you could sum up Bound by Lust in three words, what would they be?

Hot, imaginative, and kinky!

What other book might you compare Bound by Lust to and why?

Maybe The Big Book of Submission, in the sense that it's a sexy collection about BDSM. But Bound by Lust covers more ground, in my opinion. Both are good, but BBL covers a variety of perspectives, while BBOS is about, well, submission.

What does Rose Caraway bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Rose Caraway brings a gorgeous, flowing, irresistible energy to the work. I mean, have you HEARD her Kiss Me Quick's podcast? Everything she reads turns to honey and warmth, and a great piece of writing turns into a piece of art when she narrates it.

Any additional comments?

You should get this audiobook. Like, right now.

A wonderful collection of stories for everyone

There are many different subjects in this collection of stories such as pet play, voyeurism, exhibitionism, wax play, cross dressing, toys, outdoor sex, spanking and the list goes on.

My favorite stories were, Being His Bitch by Janine Ashbless a story of a woman becoming her master's bitch during a pet themed play party.

A Few Things to Pick Up on Your Way Home by Andrea Dale where a woman per her boyfriend's requests goes to buy a toy at a sex shop with his direction and distraction.

Slave Sister by Vida Bailey has a woman accepting a slave sister who has recently lost her Dom into her heart and home.

And A Beautiful Corpse by Craig Sorensen where a couple in a long term relationship (over 50 years) have sex even though old age and injuries cause them pain.

As always to compliment the writing of these wonderful authors Rose Caraway narrates beautifully bringing life to every story and character. She allows the listening to visualize the story and feel like they're a part of it.

I very much enjoyed these stories and would recommend to anyone if you like BDSM or Romance or both go buy this book there is sure to be a story or twelve that you will enjoy.

YES!

A brilliant collection! All these stories are great but my Fave was Marcelle and Brush Strokes.
With the popularity of the 50 shades books, many people are getting a taste of what many considered taboo. But it's collections like this that explore the benevolent and caring side of BDSM. Total HOTNESS!!
Well done!

Ok

Not the “hottest” stories but it has its moments. Some of them end when it’s just getting hot. Sometimes feels more pg13 rather than XXX
