BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The USA Today bestselling author of the Club Sin novels kicks off a deeply sensual new series by introducing readers to Micah, a man who takes what he wants—until he meets the one woman he needs.

Real estate mogul Micah Holt exerts absolute control over all aspects of his life. He keeps his dark side hidden away from the press, who will chase down any hint of scandal. He’s always in command of his world, careful to expose his closely guarded secrets only to those he knows he can trust. Then Allie Bennett shakes his legendary discipline. She’s beautiful, pure, untainted. But is Micah willing to sacrifice her innocence for his own selfish obsessions?

When that sexy smile makes her body burn, Allie tries with all her might to ignore it. For one thing, Micah’s her new boss. For another, he’s as complicated as he is devastatingly handsome. Still, Allie can only fight so much before she gives in to his dangerous games. She knows he’s got dark secrets. But when she discovers the true depth of his pain, Allie must decide how far she’s willing to go to light the way for love.

Bound Beneath His Pain is intended for mature audiences.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts This is a new series from Kennedy. Having been a fan of the Club Sin series I was anxious to pick this up. As with all of Kennedy’s books this is meant for mature readers who enjoy erotica / BDSM.

While I enjoyed the story there was just some things off for me. First the writing is not what I am used to from Kennedy. It is not to say it is better or worse it just has a different feel. Hard to say exactly but it seems Kennedy was watching Mad Men while writing this story. Allie seems almost old fashion is her stereotypical secretary. And I really didn’t like that Micah has a stand by sub.

I am looking forward to this new series that was branched off from Club Sin.
