Rating: 2 out of 5

2 out of 5 for this reader folks!Okay if it weren't for reviewing these serial short stories via NetGalley, I would likely d/c reading this series. I was intrigued and hoping that Bound by Marina Anderson would provide a satisfying read, but it fell short.I am really stuck at not liking in the least our main man David. I think he is a manipulative creep who while yes wishes to engage in a loving relationship with our leading lady Grace but is really going about it all the wrong way.I get it, he is a DOM, but constantly repeating, "if you fail we are over" and then setting her up to fail isn't sexy in the least. He is almost abusive to her in some ways and in any BDSM book I have enjoyed, the sexy part of the DOM is the way he takes care of his sub while he dominates her. My heart actually broke for Grace and seriously I am more invested in Andrew than I am David. Amber is just a train wreck waiting to happen and frankly imagining her in any sex scene makes me shiver.I can't say however that this IS ABSOLUTELY redeemable. I have images of ways that it can be redeemed, so let's see what happens in the third part! Is it wrong for me to say GO TEAM ANDREW AND GRACE! LOL
