➞ Protective hero
➞ Investigative journalist determined to avenge her family
➞ Enemies to lovers
➞ Forced proximity

One of the most dangerous men in the country just became her only ally.

Investigative journalist Lexi Ivanov needs one thing to crack the most important case of her career: the top-secret ledger belonging to Lionsgate Kinship—the organization that murdered her family. And it’s in the possession of Nash Holmes, the elite brotherhood’s enforcer. Fighting her attraction to the man she needs to dupe, she drugs Nash before their romp in the bedroom goes too far. And then, with the ledger in hand, she runs.

Having a woman drug and steal from him is the ultimate shame. Nash fell for the sexy seductress’s trick and now he has to pay the price. To save face and his reputation, as well as protect the brotherhood, he must stop the lying vixen before she sells their secrets to the media. Once he finds her his job is far from over. It’s expected of him to kill her, but something about Lexi strikes a weakness he didn’t know he carried. When a hit is put on her head, the game changes.

Nash quickly learns she has something much greater than what he’s after, and not just a smokin’ body—information so disturbing that he’s forced to investigate. If she’s telling the truth, everything he’s ever known has been a lie.

Samantha Wilde resides in western Canada and has a special love for the Canadian Rockies. As a child, she lived in British Columbia and some of her favorite memories revolve around being a 90s kid with the mountains as her backdrop.

One of her biggest passions is writing un-put-down-able romantic suspense that robs readers of sleep. After meeting her husband Jesse at only eighteen years old, she experienced love at first sight—so for her, insta-love is totally realistic. With two young girls and a little boy, her arms and heart are always full. Their dog Ragnar ties up the family package. When she’s not running kids to lessons or rocking a sleeping baby, she loves to create stories about badass alpha heroes who toe the line of morale and fight for what they believe in—and the woman they love.

Aside from creating the hottest book boyfriends, Samantha also loves to cook, bake, and spend time outside with her children (when it’s not -50 c). She’s also a proud, chocolate-loving health nut living her days in gratitude.

He would protect her

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024

She would lie and steal from him and slowly awake his heart with his need to protect her. She would be absolutely helpless against his demands and she would be bound to him forever. Samantha Wilde’s stories are always amazing to read.

Great Thrilling Romance

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2023

Alexis Ivanov is on a mission to find the truth and she uses her skills from being an investigative journalist to get what she needs. What she needs is a ledger by the Lionsgate Kinship that has the information about her parents death and brothers disappearance. This ledger is in the custody of Nash Holmes, Lionsgate Kinship’s enforcer and adoptive son of Conrad who leads the nefarious organization.

Alexis hatches a plan to seduce Nash in order to get close enough to steal the ledger. She manages to get the ledger and leaves Nash high and dry, and on a mission of his own. Track down the beautiful seductress who tricked and stole from him. However, once he finds her, she explains her truth and the blind loyalty he gives to his adoptive father begins to falter. In order to find the truth, they have to stick together while investigating for answers. They’re in more danger now than ever. While they try to solve this mystery, Nash can’t help but to become more and more attracted to Alexis. The chemistry they have is undeniable, but it’s not all romance in this story, they still have to solve this mystery.

This was a great thrilling, suspenseful romance. Bound is more than a romance. The whole story will keep you intrigued with action, mystery, suspense, danger, and romance. Very well written and well done. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more!!

Engaging Series Start with Romance and Suspense!

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021

This is the first book I’ve read by this author—but it won’t be the last. Bound is the first book in a new series “Blood Brothers” and is a stand-alone story, with an apparent segue into the next book, and written in third person.

Alexis Ivanov is an investigative journalist still grieving the deaths of her parents and missing brother, Brooks. She discovers none of these events were accidents and sets out to avenge the wrongs done to her family by the Lionsgate Kinship. Before he disappeared, Brooks left her information that leads her to the door of Lionsgate Kinship, a powerful, cult-like organization. One of the enforcers, Nash Holmes, holds the ledger with the answers to her questions so Lexi sets out to steal it from him.

Nash is blindly loyal to his adoptive father, Conrad, the man in charge of Lionsgate Kinship, and follows orders given to him without questions. He is enraged and embarrassed by the beautiful woman who slips him drugs in a bar, partially seduces him and leaves with the ledger Conrad entrusted to him. He leaves on his mission to retrieve the ledger and eliminate the last member of the Ivanov family.

When Nash finds Lexi in Moscow, the insane attraction they have for each other resurfaces, but neither trusts the other, nor wants to act on the attraction. Lexi pleads her case to Nash, telling him Conrad ordered the killing of her family, and Nash’s blind loyalty to Conrad begins to crack. Lexi barely escapes hit men sent to kill her; Nash vows to protect her and find the truth.

Despite his fondness for Conrad adopting him from his foster home, Nash cannot overlook the evidence they find of dark, horrible secrets in the past and present of Lionsgate Kinship. Lexi is feisty, smart, independent and yet vulnerable. Nash is strong, dedicated, protective and loyal. Together, they fight for survival, love, and the truth.

Plot pacing is good and moves the story along well. It definitely held my interest. Relationships with Nash’s brothers add to the story and help explain Nash’s history. Many themes are found in this book: secrets vs. truth, honor vs. loyalty, lies vs. honesty, good vs. evil, love vs. hate, revenge vs. vengeance, etc.

There are frequent swear words, sensitive plot lines and explicit sexual scenes; it is for mature readers only.

I received free copy of this book from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily submit this honest review.

Sometimes it’s difficult to find the line between being a devil and a saint. Or actually just a bad boy. But bad boys are really hard to write and describe without being too cheesy. Samantha Wilde cut this bad boy down to the point. I laughed, I cried. I was upset and happy. She took me on a voyage to the underworld and spat me out in the hard reality. Thank you for that amazing read Mrs Wilde !
