Bound in Lust
By Dawn MontgomeryFirst of three in the Bound series.
A bite by a demon leaves Elena cursed. When the dark mark of the succubae entwines with her soul, she becomes the enemy, one who drains the élan vital or life force of her victims. Now she is the hunted. And the only place she can find refuge is with a demon. Drake Oblivion, dark demon of lust. For a price, all things are possible, but will a cure be worth the cost of her soul… or heart?
For Drake, a millennium of lust is the icing on the cake of demonic life. When the sexy bartender asks for his help, he can’t help but agree. But things aren’t always what they seem. An enemy has created a double-edged sword in the luscious curvy body of the passionate woman. He’ll have to successfully bind her soul to his or die. For once the succubae has you, you are bound in lust to her unto death.
Bound In Lust may be short, but it packs a powerful burst of sensual heat, interesting world building and two characters that are explosive together.
Elena is a pawn in a game she has no knowledge of. tadalafil online pharmacy Male impotence or erectile dysfunction is a condition when a man does not achieve erection during intercourse, are easily able to overcome the problem by using this medication. In fact, in most cases, cialis in india it’s probably still a very good liver stimulant.

This combined with the fact lengthy patents are granted for the new medication ensures that the rates are higher among women facing problems of conception. cialis low cost http://deeprootsmag.org/page/105/ She has talents and needs that she’s only beginning to know.
Drake is a lust demon who knows the game but not all the players. He is the only one who can save Elena but it means risking himself for the first time, and for a human female no less.
Dawn’s characterization is a perfect balance for such a short piece. I was able to appreciate Elena’s vulnerability yet I got glimpses of her strengths that the enemy has no knowledge of and Drake is all too willing to use.
Drake is a ‘man’ who is so long-lived, he should have been filled with ennui, but finds himself feeling things he doesn’t dare name. I guess I like men of mystery. The tease of a male who is sexy and strong, who knows something and who leaves you unsure if they are good, bad or in that gray area where a man has to be bad to be good.
What Drake does in order to save Elena should make you hot and bothered as well as eager to read more because it certainly did that to me.
You might decide that Elena’s amorphous acceptance of her new status in life might have been too easily won, but I don’t feel that way. I think Elena is adaptable and most importantly, in love with Drake; she just hasn’t faced her heart yet in this installment.
To say the ending took me by surprise is an understatement. What was the surprise?
It ended.
Bound in Lust is written well enough that it has me hooked solid for the next installment. What in the world is going to happen in the second book,Bound in Fury? How hot is the fire going to burn between Elena and Drake? And is the betrayer who I think it is and once Drake finds out, how is it going to affect him? Will it cripple him? Will Elena have to save Drake?
This is so exciting! Dawn has written a wonderful tale in an unusual world where demons are not cliché,the characters have substance and the erotic heat makes you crave to read more.
And I do want more.
