Publisher's Summary

After losing her husband six years ago, Meg Stevens has focused on the day-to-day and being a mother, not sparing a thought for anything beyond - no dates, no excitement, no life other than what she already had. A six-week vacation to London, all but forced on her by her two children, changes all of that. Meg meets the man of her dreams - gorgeous, dominant, and completely on board with a short-term fling - despite the fact he's far too young for her.

Nathan Harris is more than a bit curious about the beautiful woman renting the upstairs flat, and once he talks to her, curiosity is quickly replaced by arousal and desire. It doesn't take long before it's clear she longs to experience sexual submission, and Nathan finds himself desperate to be the one she submits to.

Her days spent exploring the city, her nights exploring Nathan and the pleasure submitting to him brings, Meg discovers the trip she'd taken out of obligation has turned into something she doesn't want to walk away from. However, the life she left behind beckons, and there's no room there for dreaming of something she can never have.

Sexy and Romantic

Right from the beginning this book had me hooked. I really enjoy listening to novels that have constant interaction between the characters. This was a sexy and romantic story. Easy to relate to the individual characters. Dialog was smooth.

Can't wait for the next one in the series!

A decision between love and responsibility

Meg's kids force her to take a six week vacation in London to take time for herself. While she is enjoying the time away from everything, she runs into the man of her dreams. But she struggles with having kids at home and focusing on them instead of love. She lost her husband and protects her heart by doing just that. But Nathan is everything she has ever wanted, except in the wrong country. I love Meg's realistic struggle. Any mom would understand her dilemma and feel for her. I was routing for her to find that happiness. This is a story of true love for her kids, and a mom putting herself second, but her kids pushing her to the front. Break out the tissues, because this one will make you tear up!

Tatiana Sokolov narrates this story wonderfully. She really brings out the struggles that Meg faces. Through her narration, Ms. Sokolov brought me into the story and I felt everything that Meg did. Ms. Sokolov has an easy to get lost in voice and I cried along with Meg when she had to make a very hard decision because I was so engrossed in the story. I look forward to more narration from Ms. Sokolov.

Loved This Book!

I loved everything about this book! From the characters to the story line. Lots of steamy romance scenes, too!

A very enjoyable listen

I read this story when it first came out and loved it then. Being a fan of the author and familiar with the narrator, I decided a listen would not be out of line. I had forgotten just how HOT the story was. *fanning self." This awesome cougar found a very hot younger man who was all dominate male. *sigh* Lucky her! Be prepared for some awesome kinky sex. Okay, a lot of awesome kinky sex. Tatiana Sokolov did a wonderful job of narration. Her "British accent" may have come and gone a bit, but did not detract from the story at all. Overall, a very enjoyable listen.

Great start to the series!

The audio of this book is amazing!! This is my first book by Jessica Jarman and I thought the style was great. I was immediately pulled in and invested in these characters. This book has some of everything: heat, angst, humor. I can’t wait to get to more books in this series!

Keep proving me wrong...

"I'm not really into BDSM," I said
"It's just not my genre," I said
"I hate it when people make a liar out of me, " I lied...
I SWEAR that I'm not typically into kink... it's just not my jam... But here I go raving about another one!
I'm a sucker for character studies and Meg and Nathan did not disappoint! Beautifully intricate people and a naturally progressing relationship with the added benefit of hot kink!

London Bound
