Exploring their fantasies could save their marriage…or push it over the edge
Legally Bound, Book 3
Samantha Archer’s life has hit a wall. Her world is housework, homework and reminding her husband—the biggest kid in the family—to help out at home. Once she felt confident, powerful and sexy, but Brady doesn’t seem to notice her anymore, and now all she feels is invisible.
Brady has tried being the goofy guy who stole Sam’s heart, but it’s not working. He’s losing the woman he loves and doesn’t have a clue how to fix it. He’s keeping his darkest fantasies hidden too, sure they’re not what Sam wants, and his inability to please her cuts him deeper than she knows.
When Sam lands a new job at a law firm, Brady still won’t pick up the slack, and one night giving him orders unexpectedly reignites their missing spark. Sam discovers the Femdomme she didn’t know she was, kindling Brady’s submissive desires.
But while things heat up inside the bedroom, life outside it starts unraveling. Brady’s need to call the shots at work complicates his hunger to kneel for his wife, and Sam has longed to experiment in more ways than one. Their exploration of dominance and submission goes a step too far when they invite Sam’s sultry switch coworker into their bed, and the fallout could cost them everything.
Warning: contains a six-foot-five, ex-football player geek and a ballsy, badass redhead who’s learning to unleash her inner Domme. Scenes depicting humiliation, pegging and threesomes could disturb, or stimulate a thirst for adventure.

My Review
Reading a book that comes part way through a series is always a gamble. Some work really well as standalone novels and others do not. This one, fortunately, was one of the former and while I suspect it might be nice to see how previous characters are doing, not having come across any of the people in the book or their stories before didn't affect my reading pleasure.
This book is quite different from many other romance novels. Rather than a couple meeting and falling in love for the first time, this tells the story of a married couple who have found that life (and particularly children) has got in the way of who they are and how they feel about one another. One of the strengths of this book was how well it painted the picture of a couple who are feeling ground down by the day to day chores and have disconnected as a couple. There was plenty of evidence of this at the start and it was perhaps a little bit heavy-handed at times. On the whole, though it painted a picture that I suspect might be familiar to many married couples.
Of course, being a romance story, we want our couple to find their way through this and back to one another. It might not be the most convenient way of getting there, but they do it. As with any relationship, one involving a bit of kink the way that this one does, or a run of the mill, more vanilla love story, they would have got on far better with more communication.
I enjoyed this story overall, the beginning could have been a little shorter, as the day to day scene setting was a little laboured. Other than that, this was a relatable romance story and one that left me with a smile on my face.
Thanks for hosting today, Kelly!
