Review: Explicit historical spanking and suspense!
Rating: 4 out of 5

The premise for "Kidnapped and Bound" was hot, hot, HOT! A woman is given away to settle a gambling debt - by her own betrothed, no less!There is lots of explicit spanking and sexual action, and I was delighted to see some creativity in those scenes (it's not often that authors are brave enough to tweak a 'classic' formula).The treatment of the women in general didn't bother me either, as this book is quite obviously a fantasy and what is erotic fiction for if not to delve into forbidden, delicious territory?I did only give 4 stars because the book was a little too short for my liking (the ending seemed a little hurried compared to the beginning), and because the language used, whilst clever, just distracted me on occasions (it's written in the first person but the heroine frequently describes herself as though she were doing so in the third person, which was awkward for me to read at times).Overall, however, this is a hot bdsm/spanking romance set in the early 19th century and if you like the thought of a woman being spanked and pleasured against her will (though she does enjoy it), I would highly recommend giving it a go!
