First book int he Firebrand series, Bound to seduction is a take on the classic genie in the bottle tale. Expect in this story it isn't a bottle Tariq is bound to but an opal set in a necklace. He is imprisoned by an evil sorceress who uses him to seduce women. So he is summoned by some unsuspecting women to our realm, where he uses his power to corrupt her soul for the sorceress. Mira has heard of the opals power to summon a man who can fulfill your every desire. Her desire is to win a guy over in her office who won't notice her. Who better than a smoking hot guy to bring out her sensuality. So she goes looking for the opal.Now everybody warns her in some away the opal might be a  poisoned chalice. But she doesn't ask Tariq what exactly the price she might have to pay for her wishes being granted. Which is surprising since she researches him to work out he is bound to a master and not there of his free will. Tariq is conflicted, the sorceress is holding his brothers hostage and he must corrupt Mira in order to save them. But he likes her, really likes her and the more they know about each other the less he wants to hand her soul over. But how does he choose Mira or his brothers?I liked the world building, it was short so we only got a quick look at the dimension Tariq comes from. Tariq is there to seduce Mia so this short story is pretty steamy. luckily there is growing emotions explored between these two so you get the impression there is something more to the  relationship. The ending is tired up quite quickly,  but then it is a novella so you can only expect so much. As an intro to this world Bound to Seduction worked well.
