Hers to Keep (Irresistibly Bound Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,689 ratings

Lindsey had big plans for her post-art school life—a successful art career, travel, romance. She never expected she'd end up joining a sugar baby website to pay off her crippling debt. And she definitely didn't expect her first client to be an alluring older woman named Camilla.

Camilla has an irresistible proposal for Lindsey—move into her mansion for three months as her girlfriend and submissive, and all of Lindsey's financial troubles will disappear. It's the perfect solution to her problems. And how can Lindsey say no to three months of luxury and pleasure beyond her wildest dreams?

Camilla has made it clear that it's strictly an arrangement. A difficult life has left the solitary woman hesitant to let anyone get too close. It's all just a charade.

Until it isn't. As Lindsey's feelings toward her Mistress grow into something she never thought possible, they risk losing everything. It was supposed to be pretend. One big lie. What happens when the lie becomes the truth?

Hers to Keep is the third book in the sizzling Irresistibly Bound series. Each book in the series can be read alone.

    Lindsey is in debt--a lot of it. She wants to be an artist, but her dreams are being buried under a pile of bills. So she signs up for a website to be a sugar baby, and meets Camilla. It's a temporary arrangement, a transaction. But could there be more than either of them imagined?

    I was more invested in this than I thought I would be. The beginning didn't make me feel like I would be captivated, but I was. The complexity of Camilla--dominant, cold, controlling. But also shielding herself. Seeing her mask crack and Lindsey's submission force her to take off her armor was very engaging. They were hot for sure, a passionate masterpiece, but the pieces where they peeled back the layers kept you pulled in. Camilla's indulgence of Lindsey and her need to keep her comfortable and happy showed her resistance to keeping things transactional, and once the house was fully open, it was love. Camilla's family issues and her illness gave her some solid nuance and I loved seeing Lindsey's sunshine brighten her life. Lindsey continuing to fall deeper, even with her fear was inspiring and I liked her character more than I thought I would. It was a good read.

    The third book of the irresistibly bound has a plot similar to 365 days but without the whole Stockholm syndrome and being held against your will. And being forced to love someone. This story takes places over three or four months, and the main characters are very likeable, the romance and the erotic scenes reveal a lot of they're personalities to each other. Lindsey and Camilla are great together bring out the best of one another. Even if this started as a lie between, Lindsey was never being into girls before, and going down a very depression filled road, up to her head in debt. Then her best friend Faith told her to try being a sugar baby. That's when she meant Camilla, soon everything she thought she knew about herself changed. What began as something of arrangement between the two become real love. And the BDSM scenes were very steamy 😍💞. Both learn about more each other over their timespent together, but soon the relationship gets tested by Camilla's sister visiting or the fact that Lindsey never told Camilla about not being interested in girls, until she met her. Heartbreak and heart lifting ending show this series is about developing it's characters as people while also showing a very erotic romance story.

    TL;DR: 3.5 stars, decent read, good amount of spice, plot was a bit boring, and the writing wasn’t my favorite

    This was the first book I’d read by Anna Stone, and I was disappointed. I had heard great things about her books, so I was excited to read one. However, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped.

    The plot felt a bit boring, and at times it lacked any real plot at all. I wasn’t quite sure what the character's goals in the story really were. They didn’t seem to be working towards anything. There was also a serious lack of character development. As a result, I felt little connection to the characters.

    The spice was pretty good. I did like the new take on a dominant and submissive relationship. In that, it was more of a lifestyle rather than just sexual roles that they played. That was pretty interesting and if it had been written better than I think I would have liked it a lot more.

    Overall, it wasn’t my favorite read, but I won’t discount all of Stone’s work just by this one book. I would recommend it for others if you’re looking for a fast, easy read with a bit of spice.

    Lindsey who isn't into women gets hooked up on a sugar baby website by her friend and decides to respond to a woman. Camilla is wealthy beyond measure and Dominant. After a short dating period she offers to allow Lindsey to come live with her for 3 months in whatever capacity she is comfortable with in exchange for paying off her medical bills, helping to set her up in an apartment and spoiling her while she lives there. Lindsey, of course, accepts and slowly we see them both transform into a couple. Each has their own secret which they have to share with the other and overcome the emotional turmoil that brings. The sex scenes aren't too hardcore and though they are sprinkled throughout the book they aren't the main focus. Except for the extreme wealth the characters are very believable and Anna Stone writes them so I could picture them in my mind. The focus was on trust and healing from painful situations whether physical or psychological. Their romance shows there is so much more to a BDSM relationship than sex. Anna has a way with writing that always makes me wish her books had at least 1000 pages and that wouldn't be enough. I love reading her books and recommend them to anyone who likes a good romance with a challenge.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Unspektakuläre Geschichte - aber unglaublich erotisch
    Reviewed in Germany on April 23, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Die Geschichten dieser Serie sind alle ziemlich ähnlich. Eine junge, unerfahrene, etwas naive Frau, trifft auf eine ältere (wobei "älter" meist Mitte oder Ende 30 meint...) unglaublich reiche und natürlich dominante Dame. Meist ist die junge Protagonistin unzufrieden mit ihrem Job, auf der Suche nach der großen Liebe, oder zumindest in akuter Geldnot. Oder auch alles zugleich. Das mag auf den ersten Blick negativ klingen, doch ich muss gestehen, dass das Konzept aufgeht. Vor allem, weil Anna Stone ihre Erotik Szenen wirklich meisterhaft beherrscht und diese ihren Büchern das "gewisse Etwas" verleihen. Mein Lieblingsbuch der Serie ist nach "Being hers", nach wie vor "Her surrender". Ihr aktuelles Werk "Hers to keep" ist leider vergleichsweise schwach.

    Wie eingangs erwähnt ist die Geschichte von Camilla und Lindsey unspektakulär. Der Verlauf ist sehr vorhersehbar und irgendwie konnte ich bis zum Ende die im Buch beschriebene Liebe zwischen den Frauen nicht nachempfinden.

    *** Achtung Spoiler enthalten ***
    Lindsey möchte eigentlich Künstlerin werden, arbeitet jedoch in einem Callcenter, da sie Schulden hat und dringend Geld braucht. Deshalb ist sie sofort Feuer und Flamme, als sie von der Möglichkeit erfährt, "Sugar Babe" zu werden, um ihre finanzielle Situation in den Griff zu bekommen. Obwohl Camilla eine Frau ist und Lindsey darauf beharrt, hetero zu sein. Soweit so gut. Sie zögert daher nicht, der reichen Camilla schöne Augen zu machen, als diese sich als "Sugar Mama" anbietet. Camilla ist wohlhabend, einsam, leidet an einer chronischen Erkrankung und leitet die Firma der Familie.

    Und damit sind die Charaktere eigentlich schon beschrieben, denn besonders viel erfährt man auch im weiteren Verlauf nicht. Lindsey, die zwar schon öfter Frauen geküsst hat, sieht sich selbst als hetero (...an ihrer Stelle hätte ich das schon früher hinterfragt, aber gut...) Obwohl sie sich ihrer Sexualität nicht sicher ist weiß sie aber, dass sie eine leidenschaftliche Sub ist. Und so verhält sie sich auch sofort Camilla gegenüber, obwohl sie sich sexuell nicht von Frauen angezogen fühlt. Für mich ist das nicht ganz stimmig. Auch betont Lindsey am Anfang der Geschichte, dass sie sich, unabhängig einer sexuellen Beziehung zu Camilla, unterordnen will. Dennoch wird sie sofort mit ihr intim, nachdem die "Geschäftsbeziehung" begonnen hat. Und das nicht zuletzt, weil sie es unbedingt möchte und Camilla darum bittet. Auch das widerspricht sich. Wer Camilla eigentlich ist, wird nicht wirklich erklärt. Als ihre Schwester in Erscheinung tritt, hofft man mehr von ihr und der Vergangenheit zu erfahren. Doch die Schwester wirft meiner Ansicht nach mehr Fragen auf, als sie Antworten gibt. Das Buch lebt von den Dom-Sub Szenen, die meist sexueller Natur sind. Ernsthafte Konflikte zwischen Lindsey und Camilla gibt es nicht. Lindsey verstößt kaum gegen die Regeln ihrer "Mistress" und wenn, dann ist Camilla zumeist nachsichtig. Am Ende macht es für den Leser kaum einen Unterschied, ob die Beziehung echt, oder nur "arrangiert" ist. Sie bleibt oberflächlich und wirkt aufgesetzt.

    Auch wenn mich die Geschichte nicht umgehauen hat, mochte ich sie dennoch und vergebe auch 4 Sterne. Zum einen, da sie gut geschrieben ist und zum anderen, weil ich die Dom-Sub Storyline von Anna Stone einfach toll finde. Wer das mag und gute Erotik Szenen schätzt, sollte das Buch unbedingt lesen. Wer mehr wert auf tiefe Gefühle und eine komplexe Handlung legt, muss sich ein anderes Buch aussuchen.

    A really enjoyable read once again from Anna Stone. The bedroom scenes won't be to everyone's taste as they are far from vanilla but it is all consensual and very much a journey towards a deeper love developing. The short bit of angst around the standard eighty something percent of the way through is quickly resolved and the two MC's are both pleasant, if slightly damaged, individuals. A satisfying ending as far as it goes, but could have gone a bit further to be even more fulfilling.

    So, a solid 5 stars, not off the charts but really good.

    I want to be Lindsey.

    I could stop the review there but I won't...what else I will say is that this might be my favourite from the series so far.

    I loved the little cameos from the previous couples, plus the mentions of the lounge and den.

    Lindsey and Camilla are perfect for each and I truly loved their journey together.
