Bound With Pearls by Sidney Bristol-a review
Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Barnes and Noble / KOBO
DESCRIPTION-Release Date December 2012
The last thing Christine wants to do is another favor for her sister, but Lucy always gets what she wants. This time it’s Chris playing sub to a demanding Dom. Their relationship begins with a power exchange and progresses to time spent between the sheets. Now emotions are getting complicated and the Dom isn’t just a hunky guy in black.
Daniel’s expectations are turned upside down when he meets Chris. She’s more than a well-trained submissive. She’s a woman with a body he wants to memorize. He’s willing to spend as much time as it takes to learn her, because she might be his match and his muse. He’ll make her come so hard he’s imprinted on every inch, and then he’ll offer her the most precious thing he can, himself.
REVIEW
5 out of 5 for this reader folks!
What a HOT, SMEXY SMEXY, WILD read! (*Fanning Myself*)
So before I begin this review I have a secret to reveal! I LOVE me a hot smut filled book. However if you add great characters and a great story then I LOVE LOVE LOVE me a hot smut filled book. This was a LOVE LOVE LOVE! LOL
Bound with Pearls written by Sidney Bristol is all about the formation of a dom/sub relationship and the many (did I mention MANY) emotions that are explored during this formation.
This book is not for the easily offended. There are extreme sexual scenarios that are played out and extreme language used. This is a dirty, gritty and sexy book that exploits many common and not so common (pass the ginger …lol) sides of the dom/sub relationship.
Now that I have armed you a little .. let me “de-arm” you! This story for a BDSM book was FUN and much less intense than many books in the BDSM genre that I have read! While some scenes were intense, there was so much blooming within the forming relationship that it didn’t feel “heavy”! Don’t get me wrong, all emotions were felt but I never went to a dark ugly place. Not sure if that makes sense but it’s the best way I can explain it! LOL
So our submissive’s name is Christine. Christine is an unattached submissive that had adopted the lifestyle many years ago and was well trained by a previous dom. After being begged by her horrible, spoiled brat bitchy sister Lucy, to please fill in as a sub (bitchy sister’s dom lost a poker game and bet the use of his sub to another dom … DUDE REALLY???) on her behalf, Christine agrees to spend one night with the winning poker game dom named Daniel.
Seeing as neither Christine nor Daniel know each other (either by rep or by looks) this makes for a very uncomfortable situation and both are NOT looking forward to this “play session”! Well aren’t they pleasantly surprised when they are clearly not only attracted to each other but they also “fit” together. I had to chuckle when Christine suddenly wanted to take back many of her “limits” and go all the way. I also melted a little when Daniel said NO and refused to take advantage because the .. er… um …. did it just got really hot in here!? LOL
From this one night, these two decide to see each other again and again, and trust builds between them (that’s pretty great considering a dom/sun relationship REQUIRES that)! Tenderness like you can never imagine, and serious boundaries are crossed! Limits are pushed. I found while I was getting angry I was completely smitten as well.
Loved this blurb and it paints the perfect picture.
“Any man could get her off, but she needed him. Their connection, the chemistry wasn’t something easily found.”
This is a shorter book and I hate giving anything away, so I will leave this review at that! I really truly loved this book and I was fulfilled in all aspects that I have learned to expect and appreciate when reading a BDSM story. I believed in this relationship and I was cheering them on throughout their journey to each other!
I have to comment quickly on this books cover! IT’S BEAUTIFUL! You understand why the title was named what it was, and the model is exactly how I pictured Christine. This is BDSM in it’s sexiest! 🙂
As I do for many of my reviews, let me leave you with a yummy blurb of a breakfast tied up…. that made me …er… um…. yup it’s definitely hot in here .. WINK!
“You aren’t in trouble.”
She hurriedly chewed and swallowed. “I’m not?”
He chuckled. “Nope.” One side of his mouth kicked up in a lopsided smile, giving him a boyish look.
“Then, why …” Her voice trailed off as he pressed another bite of pancake to her lips.
“Why did I tie you up?” he filled in for her. “Because I like you tied down and at my mercy.”
Yes Sir Daniel .. SIGH! LOL

Great review, Rachel. You are very expressive how you feel about the book, and you made it sound good. Though I am not a fan of BDSM.
Thanks Barb! 🙂
Wonderful review Rachel. I know some people have issues with BDSM storylines but in most cases, the new crop of BDSM novels end well with HEA and a love story which is the best part…
I agree 100% Sandy .. I much prefer the HEA as opposed to the darker BDSM books out there! I like to read things that shock me and are quite diversified! I see more than the sex between the dom and sub and it’s so intense and deep! 🙂
Great review Rachel. Sounds like you love this type of premise and storyline.
TY hun! I sure do .. but it has to written right or it’s nothing but fluff! This book was written right for sure! 🙂
