Confidentiality is our special obligation.
Jewell Weston is homeless and desperate at age twenty-four. Two years ago, she quit her job to care for her ailing mother and her young brother; the medical bills incurred because of the cancer that killed her mother two months ago took everything the family had, and the state then took away her brother, now age fourteen. The only way for her to get the boy back is by finding a job and securing a home.
When she’s approached by a woman in cashmere and pearls who tells her she can change her life, and is handed a card with the business name Relinquish Control on it, she thinks she has nothing to lose by calling the phone number. Maybe this will be the answer to her prayers, a way to save her little brother from the nightmarish foster home he’s been placed in.
Blake Knight, known to the world as cold and without a heart, is given an exclusive membership to Relinquish Control by his devilish younger brother, who thinks it would be amusing to make his staid brother squirm. Little does this brother realize that Blake does indeed have unusual desires that Relinquish Control can cater to perfectly. What started as a joke turns out to be just what Blake needs. Though the world sees this man as deliberate and emotionless, it’s nothing but a façade. What lies underneath would shock all those who know him.
When he and his two brothers were six, eight and ten, they were tied up and forced to watch while their parents were murdered. The image has been burned into their minds, though they’ve tried to forget, leaving each of them guarded and unwilling to give their trust to anyone other than each other. No one is allowed to have their hearts. The brothers would never think of letting down their guard with anyone else, certainly not with a woman.
Follow Blake and Jewell’s journey and see if they can find a happily ever after…
Review
Blake Knight uses women for his pleasure, point blank. He breaks them and leaves them. A friend named Rafe notices Blake’s irritability and suggests an outlet, Relinquish Control. Blake hesitates at first and after a while he caves and meets Jewell Weston. Still in training, Jewell is unlike any of the women at RC. For Jewell, this is a job, a means to an end for her younger brother that is in foster care. One week, seven days, one hundred and sixty-eight hours of keeping company with a man and doing “whatever they want”. Jewell must do this job or lose her brother. At this moment in her life she has been dealt a shitty hand. She had to jeopardize her career to take care of her mother and brother. When Ms. Beaumont found Jewell she was living in a shelter, missing meals, and searching for a job. But Jewell was determined to not let this opportunity, as challenging to her as it may be, pass her by.
I began reading this book one rainy Saturday morning and refused to get up to brush my teeth until I was finished! If that explains how captivated I was in this book, well then I dare you to read Bound! I have pages upon pages of notes and dialogue I loved in this book. I can’t share them all without giving away the story! I highly recommend the book! I normally dislike cliffhangers but I will give this one a pardon! 🙂 I can’t wait to find out what happens next with Jewell and Blake! Loved Bound by Melody Anne and you will too! 5 smooches!!!
