Bound to Please, July 21, 2009
I will say that there is a reason why this book comes with a warning... it is smoking hot! I found it rather odd that there was a warning label about how hot this story was on the back cover of the book. I thought it was cute and didn't pay much more attention to it. Well let me forewarn you that this book has some very descriptive erotic romance with scenes of both BDSM and SM. I personally am not much of an erotica reader... so I normally do not read anything this hot and will confess to blushing quite a lot while reading it. But I will say that I really liked the main characters. Both Ruby and Mark were very likeable and rather memorable. The dialogue alone was phenomenal. I quickly found myself drawn into their irresistible romance. This is definitely not for the faint of heart - but for those of you who enjoy erotica or are looking for something spicy with fantastic characters (full of tattoos, piercings, and fond of bondage) combined with great writing, then this is one you'll definitely want to grab.
You will never think of a strawberry in quite the same light after reading this *snickers*.

Wow!, May 9, 2009
Author Lilli Feisty was a make-up artist, perpetual student, secretary, and owned an art gallery before beginning her writing career. She claims to have worked only long enough to pay for her trips to Europe. Besides writing, she enjoys tattoos, reality television, and beaches. Other titles include: Taken, Sting of Desire, Dance of the Plain Jane, and I Love Lacy. She resides in the San Francisco Bay area of California.
Ruby Scott is a successful event planner who leads a respectable life. Yet the secret and naughty fantasies in her head are anything but. She's become the master of keeping her hidden desires under wraps. That is, until she meets Mark St. Crow, an extremely gifted, up-and-coming music star who is ten years her junior. Gorgeous, sexy, and well-toned, Mark invokes a passion that Ruby never allowed herself to explore. After several intimate nights together, Ruby knows that there is no going back. But Mark plays women as often as he does his instruments, and he is not looking for anything to tie him down- at least not in the metaphorical sense. So what is a girl to do when her deepest needs threaten to give way to a forever love?
As always with this genre, I'm going to issue a warning on this book. It is a very detailed erotic romance with scenes of BDSM and SM that may not be suitable for everyone.
Now, for an erotic romance, I was very impressed with the plot and characters. Or rather, the fact that there was a plot and had memorable, relatable characters. The story-line for the book, (supposed good girl and bad boy musician are ten years apart in age), was crafted in a true-to-life manner. After reading the book, I didn't sit there thinking how unrealistic it was. The characters and internal thoughts evolved and matured throughout the story. True to romance with a happy ending, you'll be satisfied in every aspect when you close the pages. The dialog was just phenomenal and I adored the secondary characters immensely. I appreciate that the love scenes weren't redundant. I highly recommend sitting in front of a fan while reading this one. Seriously. I will never look at a strawberry the same way again!
Bound to Please, by Lilli Feisty, is a scorching hot, irresistible, sinfully satisfying read.

Five Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!!!, September 6, 2009
What a wonderful surprise awaited me within the pages of Lilli Feisty's BOUND TO PLEASE. Sultry, smooth, scorching hot - this erotic novel had it all!
Ruby Scott has the body of a goddess and the fantasies to go with it. She is an event planner and enjoys a quiet life with little excitement. Ruby prides herself on her respectability but secretly, in her heart of hearts, Ruby yearns to be bad. She has hidden fantasies that would make even the most jaded of women blush. Ruby dreams of being controlled by a Dom in the bedroom. She aches with the thought of being spanked and dominated. Alas, Ruby knows they are just the secrets of a lonely woman and is content to let them remain in her dreams. Enter Mark St. Crow, a younger man but one who has the ability to make Ruby burn.
Ruby and Mark come together hours after meeting in a blaze of passion. Mark is dominant, sexy, and is able to control Ruby and her passion with the crook of his finger. Mark is known for his ability to play music and women with a master's touch. Ruby realizes this and tries to back away from the pleasure Mark makes her feel and the pain she makes herself feel with the thought of never being with him again. Mark refuses to allow Ruby to push him away - he knows a good thing when he sees it and his feelings for Ruby surprises even him with their intensity. The ball is in Ruby's court - all she has to do is take a chance on their love.
BOUND TO PLEASE is intoxicatingly wonderful. A lover of D/s romance, BOUND TO PLEASE has just the right amount of dominance and submission, passion and pleasure. Ruby's character is strong, steady, and secretly naughty. Her fantasies are scorching hot and she never thinks that they would ever come true. Mark St. Crow made me shiver. Sexy with a capital "S", he is the epitome of bad-boy and angel all rolled into one. The love scenes between Mark and Ruby simply shattered all ideas I had about D/s and then some.
BOUND TO PLEASE by Lilli Feisty is sure to please! Erotic, intense, passionate, powerful - all of these adjectives describe this titillating tale of a couple's journey to attaining the perfect balance in their relationship. It was marvelous!
