Book Description

The sensual author of Addicted to You explores once again the rewards of
impulsive desire in a new One Night of Passion novella...


 John Corcoran loved the isolation of the Shawnee National Forest with the crisp
spring air, the sounds of nature, and the bracing scent of pine. Isolation is
what movie star Jennifer Turner craved as well, an escape that only a weekend
hike, a long and blissful distance from Hollywood, could provide.


Yesterday, they were strangers--until a fateful accident, deep in the forest and far from
civilization, throws them together and plunges them both into darkness. For
Jennifer it is as unnerving as the night itself, trapped in such close quarters
with a man as mysterious as John. He is alpha: bold, rough, and masculine, but
with a scent of firewood and spice she finds intoxicating.


In the dark, Jennifer's nightmares spring to life. The only way to vanquish them
is by submitting to blind, naked need. Now, as intimately close as a man and a
woman can be, they find themselves alone, battling fear and vulnerability. Only
an unexpected passion will comfort them--a sensual, raw experience from which
neither is certain they want to be rescued.

  • I really enjoyed this erotic novella by Bethany Kane with edgy, explicit sex scenes.

  • The author takes a very far-from-ideal circumstance and turns it into a darkly erotic environment, complete with sensory deprivation. Scorching!--Read Our Lips Blogspot
  • This is a great novella and definitely worth a readRomance Novel Reviews

From the Author

Special Note--this book, as are all of the One Night of Passion books/novellas, are me--Beth Kery--writing as Bethany Kane. 
Also, please be sure to keep paging when you finish BOUND TO YOU for the entire first chapter of EXPOSED TO YOU, the second novel in the One Night of Passion series, due out in November. 

Bound to You is the first novella in my Berkley series, One Night of Passion. The first novel, Addicted to You, featured Katie and Rill, two very special people who started out thinking they were misfits in the quirky, backwoods town of Vulture's Canyon, only to discover it was their true home. 
Jennifer and John also experience a discovery of themselves when they are thrown together in a traumatic fall in the Shawnee National Forest, near Katie and Rill's home. John is a very adept blind man, a natural dominant, who has secretly always had a 'thing' for movie star Jennifer Turner. Finding himself trapped with her is both a nightmare and dream come true. 
Jennifer has a mortal fear of the dark--and for good reason. The last place in the world she wants to find herself is down a twenty foot sink hole in the earth with night descending fast. Nothing less than totally submitting to John will allow her to forget...and to survive. 
But after being scorched by his forceful love-making, she's not so sure she wants to return to the light.
I would love to hear your opinion of this novella--either good or bad. Please feel free to leave a review, or write to me at bethkery@aol.com with any questions or comments!
Happy Reading!

Addicted to You was the first book I read by this author and I love it. After visiting her web site I soon discovered she also writes under the pen name of Beth Kery. Since then I've read many of her books and have become of fan of her writing.

Bound to You is a smokin hot erotic romance that's well written, with engaging characters. John and Jennifer light up the pages when sex is used as a distraction from the dire circumstances then may face. A connection is formed and both wonder was it just sex or is it more.

I'm not always a fan of novellas but this book has a good story line and it felt complete. If you haven't read the first book in this series then I recommend you read that one as well!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bound to You June 11, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I really enjoyed this erotic novella by Bethany Kane (aka Beth Kery.) I read her full length book last year, Addicted to You, and it was a a dark, erotic book that that I liked (and it made my favorite sex scenes of 2011 post). So I was happy to see a novella (and a future full-length this fall) from this author.

Jennifer Turner, a well know Hollywood actress is escaping to the Shawnee National Forest for a little peace and quiet. Hiking through the woods, she ventures off the trail a bit as she tries to sort out her mind. She recently went through a terrible scare (something I'll let you uncover as you read) that is very hard for her to deal with.

John Corcoran is also walking through these woods. He hears a woman singing and knows she must be on his property. John was born blind, but has adapted quite well to his surroundings. He has a cane and his trusty guide dog to aide him as well. As he starts heading towards Jennifer, she hears him coming and freaks out. Nightmares from the dark incident in her past, make her panic and she starts running. John starts running after her and they both fall into sinkhole of sorts in the forest floor. Mining used to occur here, and they have fallen into a large, and very dark cavern.

Now these two strangers are stuck together for who knows how long. Being way off the path, they have no idea how long it will be until someone will find them. Jennifer is terrified of the dark and John, living in darkness himself, helps her cope as they come to know one another.

Bound to You pairs two strangers together that get down and dirty fast. I think their coupling may have been rushed a bit, but when you are stuck in a deep, dark hole, what else is there to do? And what unfolds is very, very dirty sex. John may be blind, but damn does he know how to have sex with a woman. I think because John is blind and he relies so much on his senses, the author makes the sex scenes, when it is in his point of view, that much more descriptive. I think she does a nice job with this.

John has a beard, and wears flannel (my dream man maybe?) and really tunes into Jennifer's needs. She has a panic attack of sorts, relapsing from a devastating incident. Bethany Kane eventually tells you what happened to Jennifer to make her this scared, and it really is gruesome. We needed a strong reason for Jennifer to cling to Jonathan, a stranger in a dark hole, and to seek comfort. And the reason Bethany Kane gives is a pretty good one. On the other hand, John had recognized Jennifer's voice when she was singing in the forest (as she is a well known actress). So he has that connection to her, which makes their coupling a little more realistic.

Lucky for them they have a trickling waterfall in their cave, and John's dog, throws them down a rabbit for dinner. Quite some dog, yes?

If you want an erotic novella, with edgy, explicit sex scenes, I think you'll like this one.
