A sequel to the novel, Doomed , was released in Quotes [ edit ] " What makes earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven. Actually, watching television and surfing the Internet are really excellent practice for being dead. I may be me - but at least I have the good sense not to be YOU. Anything we do to excess is in compensation for not getting a minimum amount of sexual gratification Men oveimbibe alcohol because their penises are thirsty.
The same goes for earth. It's the kind of slummy, condescending gesture, like when rich people ask poor people where they summer. To me, this smacks of a blatant, insensitive 'let them eat cake' type of chauvinism. A child allows us to revisit the excitement we once felt about, well A generation later, our grandkids bump up our enthusiasm yet again. Reproducing is a kind of booster shot to keep us loving life. In a thousand words I don't have a clue, but I'll start by abandoning hope. Please help me, Satan. That would make me so happy.
Sexy As Hell: A More Than Men Novella by Andrea Laurence on Apple Books
Help me give up my addiction to hope. If you are, in fact, my continuing author, then killing you will end my existence as well. Such a life, as your puppet, is not worth living. What did bother me was when Ethan became super possessive and controlling and the author started channeling Fifty Shades of Grey right down to the elevator good bye scene. It didn't help that the amount of sex scenes were amped up and some of the descriptions were just over the top. But there is just something about Ethan and Angel together that makes me want to know more.
Something that gives me hope that they can work through their lack of experience to make their relationship work. And the Ponyo incident was a killer! There's a lot of loose ends, naturally, since there are two more books in this trilogy. View all 34 comments. When I first started reading Bound for Hell , it didn't immediately capture my attention and I was thinking it would only be a four star read. Yeah, that lasted until I got like ten percent into the book and then something happened that just completely sucked me in, made my heart ache, made me feel helpless, and made me seethe with rage.
It changed my view point of this book and that moment, and every one after it, made the story worthy of five stars. I absolutely loved this amazing book! Ethan Wi When I first started reading Bound for Hell , it didn't immediately capture my attention and I was thinking it would only be a four star read.

Her past, and even sometimes her present, tore me up. She's been through so much that she didn't need to and it just makes me furious and want to seriously smack some sense into certain characters.
It's not hard to see why Ethan fell for her or why she inspires the urge to protect in other people. Angel is kind and sweet and the last thing she wants to do is hurt someone. She tries to be positive and see the good in people even when it's not always wise.

The highs were wonderful! A random, passionate fling in a store room. A sexy as hell rich man with an English accent. A woman who is strong willed and talks back. I loved the relationship Ethan and Angel developed, it was beautiful and strong and oh-my-god sexy. The backdrop of characters had a huge impact on the highs of this story. Jackson, Ethan's dependable right hand man. Even Angel's family was well written, and I hated them so much for the way they treated her.
The downs for me were scattered through the book, and just kept me from riding high the whole way. Ethan is so possessive, and while Angel talks back and appears feisty, she just lets him steamroll over her. Then the jealousy level between them was off the charts, and a little annoying to deal with.
A Sins in the City Novel Series
It's difficult to fully trust a love that doesn't have mutual respect and trust. Overall it was well worth the ride, however, and I turned straight to book two so that I could see what happens next.

She is such a gifted writer!
How I loved this first book in the series. In some way it made me think of one of my top favorite series Up in the Air by R.
Special offers and product promotions
There were some similarities that pulled at my heart, a hero to die for, totally devoted to his other half, an ultra-possessive Alpha giving everything he have and more. I loved the profoundness of his words and his unconditional love and how he showed his suffering towards her for the events she went through with her hateful father and the constant moral abuse she endured during her childhood.
I also liked Angel. She was headstrong and I enjoyed watching her growth with the love and support of her man. The sex scenes between these two were blazing HOT. The characters felt real and the author made me love them from the very first page. An absolute delight to read and I highly recommend it! I can say that it has been a long time since I have read a book where I could not predict where it was going to go but this book I feel like I have no clue where it is going or what is going to happen Ethen and Angel's story has friendship, family issues, betrayal, grief, loyalty, secrets, hope , really hot sex and love.
It doesn't end on a cliff-hanger it does just end but currently reading the second book , I can say there is much more coming.. I've been let down by this trope one too many times in the past so I've tried to avoid them like the plague. However when one of my trusted book buddy suggested and loved this series, I decided to take a chance on it. When I started the first book, I didn't think I would devoured this entire series in one sitting.
There were a few things in this read that shouldn't work for me but surprisingly, it didn't bother me too much. I wouldn't have believed that this is a debut author's work because the writing sucked me in easily and the story flowed so well. The MCs had more depth that I initially thought and it was interesting to see how they developed over the series.
The Bound trilogy is a sensual-filled journey with a modern infusion of a Cinderella theme. We have Angelica 'Angel' Lawson ; the damsel in distress who's a photographer with a troubled past ever since her mother passed away and living with a father who neglected her growing up. Then in comes Ethan Wilde ; Prince Charming in the form of a sexy, powerful billionaire with a swoony British accent. A chance encounter fueled with insta-lust was the spark that set things in motion for them.
It was a sexually-charged read as they battle out their attraction for each other yet knowing being with each other could be their undoing. Despite the rather cliche-sounding plot, I really enjoyed being surprised by how many twists were there throughout the entire trilogy. Especially with the 3rd and final book that really packed a punch there with several surprises I did NOT see coming. Both Angel and Ethan had to overcome several hurdles both as an individual and a couple and I thought it was nice to see how their relationship developed over the course of the trilogy.
Also I felt there was a nice balance of emotional scenes overlapping with the steamy scenes plus some humor laced in at times to even out the angsty moments. Overall this was definitely a series that served well as my guilty pleasure reading and I was glad that I took up to chance to read it. The only aspect that deterred me from rating it higher was that I could have done with slightly less sex scenes and cut down of certain repetitive phrases.
But other than that, I thought this was a great debut series from this author and will keep an eye for her future work! View all 3 comments. Her father and brother blame her and have since treated her like an outcast. Never feeling love from her family makes her keep people at arms length, not wanting to trust them since anyone she has ever trusted with her heart has broken it.
That was until Ethan Wilde. She has never wanted anything beyond sexual needs, but this encounter was different. This stranger threw her for a loop and engrained himself into her mind; she could not shake the thought of this romp in the storage closet. Ethan not only cast a spell on Angel, but had fallen under one as well.
He needed more of this woman like he needed air to breathe. And for the first time in my entire existence, I began to breathe. Can Angel bury her past? Can these two survive all of outside challenges facing their relationship? This was an entertaining debut novel from Kendra. She dug deep into these two deeply emotional characters and I am glad to know this is a trilogy because I know this is just the tip of the iceberg for these two.
Angel is from a wealthy family that is exceptionally dysfunctional. Loosing her mother young, she has a contentious and destructive relationship with her father and one of her brothers. Angel works hard to prove her value to herself and her family by establishing her own business and making a name for herself in the art world without the emotional or financial support of h BOUND FOR HELL is an intensely erotic, instant attraction romance between two people looking for seemingly different things. Angel works hard to prove her value to herself and her family by establishing her own business and making a name for herself in the art world without the emotional or financial support of her family.
Angel's difficult relationships have lead her to believe that quick unemotional encounters with men with no mind for future attachments is the best way to live her life. That is until fate brings Ethan Wilde into her life. Ethan is successful and wealthy and needs nothing from Angel other than to have her for himself. Ethan isn't afraid of what a relationship with Angel could be, but he has his work cut out for him gaining Angel's trust. Ethan is there for Angel after a particularly nasty encounter with her father and provides a comfort that she didn't even realize she needed.
Ethan offers Angel something that she is afraid to take. After living a life protecting herself from further heartbreak it is extremely difficult for her to take a risk.
If you are a fan of the sexy, dominant, billionaire reads Ethan Wilde has all of the qualities that you will need. This is the first book in a trilogy so there is a cliffhanger at the end. It took me 2 days to chug through this one. Insta-soul deep lurrrrve, unrelatable characters, weird family dynamics and a crazy bff who says "bitch" at the end of every sentence made this very hard to get through.
The only redeeming quality was imagining the "hero" say those filthy, yet proper things in his English accent during the sexy times. I may have actually lol'd.
See a Problem?
ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review This is the debut of author Kendra Leigh and the first book in the Bound Trilogy. From the onset this book just grabbed me and especially when the two main characters Angel and Ethan first meet with eye contact across a crowed restaurant. The build-up of tension and intense passion was oozing from the kindle that I almost thought I was there observing in the flesh.
I knew then I was in for a deep and luscious read! Angelica Angel is a self-established photographer and has worked hard to build up her business without the support of her standoffish family of her father and twin brothers. After a tragedy when she was a child, her family have treated her as an outcast so from that young age she has grown up with no love and little reason to rely or trust on others. Therefore she does not do relationships, especially after her one attempt that ended when her boyfriend turned out to be married. So now when she has an itch to scratch she has casual hook ups.
Recently that has been Jean-Paul, a younger man who is now showing he is feeling more for her and becoming obsessed. Angel now feels she needs to tread more carefully with who she hooks up with, that is until the stranger in the restaurant when all her carefully laid out cautions get tossed to the side when she leads the man to that storage cupboard. Ethan Wilde is scorching hot and an instant hit for me.
Billionaire, controlling, caring but ultimately sex on legs. The sensuality I felt oozing from him was a big draw and I applaud the author for her cleverly spun words that made that happen. Ethan is a flip of the coin to what Angel has gone through, his family could not be any closer and he has always felt the love and support of his family.
With a mega billion company to run of which he was soon to take over the CEO from his father, his time was much in demand, so relationships for him were not a priority but after one intensely passionate moment with Angel, he just knew he had to have more. I love d the instant attraction and passion that was established for this pairing but I also loved how Angel fought against it and not in the way most other whiney females do in books.
No she knew what she needed to do but in the end she knew what she had to do and grab a chance at happiness. However it was the undercurrent of a suspenseful and intriguing side story that delivered that and which is yet to be resolved in the next books of the trilogy.
I liked that the book did not end on a cliff-hanger and more of a happy for now ending. Now I know friends do call each other in jest but this was every conversation she had with Angel and it annoyed the heck out of me.
There's a Donald Trump erotic novel and it's sexy as hell
I hope the author removes this from the future conversations as otherwise it will continue to spoil my enjoyment of this series as I LOVED everything else in this book. Oh yes the passion. This was truly a erotic romance with a swoon worthy hero and a very sweet heroine. Yes, it's a story with a billionaire but this heroine is no virgin. Angelica, the heroine, is a photographer with a successful gallery.
She only does casual sex. Angel comes from a family of men, to include younger twin brothers and a father that show no affection towards her. She is not close with them due to something that happened in the past that changed their lives and they've blamed her 4 Sweet Steamy Stars! She is not close with them due to something that happened in the past that changed their lives and they've blamed her for since. One evening, while out with friends, Angel see's a extremely handsome man. There's immediate attraction which they act on that ends with a sexy encounter in a storage closet.
Ladies, let me introduce you to Mr. He is one sexy, possessive alpha male and, oh yeah,he's a billionaire! These two have chemistry that's undeniable. After the steamy encounter, Angel regrets her acting on her lustful attraction and runs for cover. Too bad or thankfully, Ethan isn't the kind of guy to not pursue. I really enjoyed this story.
Yes, there were times I couldn't relate to the heroine and the way she allowed and defended her family and their poor treatment of her and I found myself frustrated. However, I can only imagine how lonely she felt and craved for any kind of affection. He was was endearing, affectionate, attentive and very possessive of Angel. Although at times, I was like whoa, what??? I kind of understood his actions, which I hate to admit by the way. I really liked this hero. He was exceptionally perfect but there were a few clues leading to some possible imperfections for the next book.
All in all, this was a very enjoyable read with lots of steam and a sexy hero. Congratulations Kendra Leigh on your debut novel. I look forward to reading the rest of this trilogy. This book blew my mind. Sucked me in from page one, and kept me on the edge. He is the perfect specimen of a man. He's smart, successful, and sexy has hell. He's a genuine good guy. Angel is a photographer with her own gallery, trying to run from the past she can't forget, thanks to her father and brothers.
Her only means of escape are getting lost in her work and meaningless, no-strings-attached sex. Until a chance encounter at a restaurant forces her to re-e This book blew my mind. Until a chance encounter at a restaurant forces her to re-evaluate everything she thinks she believes.
Ethan and Angel had chemistry from the moment they laid eyes on each other. Literally, no words needed and you could feel the heat between them. They are off the charts sexy together. This book is full of absolute panty-melting scenes. But that's not all. Kendra does a fantastic job displaying Angels emotions. Angel is a very sweet character, who at times seems like a bit of a doormat, but only when it comes to her family. She's also a bit naive, only in an endearing sort of way. Ethan is kind, considerate, did I mention sexy as hell?
He's also persistent when it comes to Angel. But as we get deeper into the story, I get the feeling theres a little more to Mr. Wilde than Kendra lets on in book 1. That being said, this is the first in the series, so there is a bit of a cliffhanger. Overall, I very thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book and am anxiously awaiting book 2! Please proceed with caution. Now days it seems like a lot of the books start to blend together.
So I'll be completely honest in saying I didn't know what to expect. But anything I could've ever imagined feeling for this books, times that by a million and it still wouldn't be enough. Let's just say this. I freaking loved this book. What a horrible family this poor woman has. She doesn't deserve any of the crap her father and her brother throw at her.
I'm so intrigued to find out what's the deal with them and why they treat her the way they do. I love the fact that I'm left guessing. And then there's Ethan. Ethan is pretty damn amazing but you can see there are secrets to him as well. I can't wait to find out what it is, and I definitely can't wait to see what happens between the two of them.

I'm grateful I had the chance to read Bound for Hell. I truly hope you'll give this series a try. I would have been missing a hell of a lot if I hadn't! Angelica Angel Lawson has been living with guilt her whole life. Trapped by demons of her past, she shuts herself off from love. Physical connection is as far as she will go. When she meets Ethan Wilde, she finds someone that sees through her defences.
This novel blew me away! I found the instant connection between the two characters like something out of a movie. You can almost imagine the sparks flying. There are some tender moments between the two and of course LOTS of heat!
