Billionaire, Ethan Wilde - Powerful, passionate and persuasive. He's everything Angel Lawson craves - and everything she fears.

Sometimes the Hell you fear isn't a place at all. Sometimes it's the life you're living. A life filled with darkness, isolation, guilt and remorse - for a sin you're convinced you committed, yet can't remember. A life filled with shallow relationships - because the risk of opening your heart is more frightening than living with your inner demons.

On the surface, Angel Lawson is a poised, confident photographer and successful gallery owner. But underneath, she lives her days in constant fear of exposure, and her nights tormented by nightmares. She has spent years building impenetrable walls to keep the demons at bay.

And then she meets the powerful, persistent billionaire, Ethan Wilde... the one man who sees past the barriers and bravado to her brokenness. Ethan is as intense as he is sinfully sexy. A man so irretrievably captivated, he is determined to possess her - mind, body and soul. But can he help her heal it?

Can Angel risk leaving her 'safe' life behind, or is the choice no longer hers?

Ethan Wilde is used to getting what he wants... and what he wants is Angel.

An emotional roller coaster that delivers a powerful punch to the heart. Romantic, seductive and suspenseful. With twists and turns you'll never predict.

For readers 18 and over due to explicit sexual content.

Perfect for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, Sylvia Day Crossfire Series and Jodi Ellen Malpas This Man Trilogy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"One of the best novels I have ever read! So raw and emotionally heart-gripping, Bound for Hell is definitely one read you would not want to miss! It's really rare to be able to read a novel filled with so much pain and darkness, yet so much love and emotions too! Besides Kimberly Blalock's Our Sins and J. Kenner's Stark trilogy, I have a feeling the Bound Trilogy will be one of the best contemporary romance reads ever!" - Revenge of the Feels.

"Kinky and blazing, oh YES! This is not a story for the emotionally weak. With outstanding writing, amazing character development, and plot twists, Ms. Leigh brings her reader to the height of joy and to the absolute bowels of hell. Read it but have your tissues ready, and the ice. I will be reading everything this author writes in the future." - Julie Esparza ~ Amazon Reviewer.

"Anything I could've ever imagined feeling for this book, times that by a million and it still wouldn't be enough... I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!" - Love Words and Books.

"You will experience every emotion imaginable as Kendra Leigh draws you further and further into the story. I highly recommend this novel as one of the top erotic suspense novels of 2015." - Passionate Reads and Reviews.

"The build-up of tension and intense passion was oozing from the kindle that I almost thought I was there observing in the flesh...full of love, laughter, tears, mystery, secrets and PASSION. Oh yes the passion. Brilliant!" - Foxylutely Books.

"The way Kendra Leigh told this tale had me captivated. Be prepared for well developed characters, interesting plot twists and lots of extremely hot sex scenes." - Two Fiesty Angels And A Devil.

"Suspense, drama, romance and heat, those are the things that I crave, and let me tell you, Angelica and Ethan have that in spades! A book that will leave you wanting more." - The Book Fairy Reviews.

Kendra Leigh fell in love with words and reading as a young child. She was at her happiest when Enid Blyton whisked her away up into the magical lands at the top of the Faraway Tree with Moon-face and the rest of the gang.Now, of course, she has more of a fondness for chocolate, cheese and hot men in suits - not necessarily in that order. Kendra devotes her life to her devilishly handsome partner, scandalously beautiful daughter and cute as hell Shih-Tzu. She believes in love at first sight, and as well as writing and reading, Kendra has a passion for great movies and brilliantly written TV. She enjoys writing emotional romantic suspense stories with strong female leads and men that will go to any lengths to fight for the women they fall for. Her books have a perfect blend of darkness and light.

Bad Imitation of “Fifty Shades. . .”

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

The story is well written and engaging; the caveat that earned this review 3 stars — the explicit sex was boring and left nothing to the imagination. Nothing is subtle. Note: Skipping over the graphic sexually-explicit escapades fails to compromise the story. This is a story about Angel, a beautiful-but-emotionally-broken gallery owner-photographer and Ethan, an extremely wealthy, have-it-all, attractive 28 year old, soon to become the CEO of a family empire. As the story unfolds, the parallel between “Bound for Hell” and “Fifty Shades” revealed itself — the pet names, addressing one another by their surnames, the magnate-shop girl attraction, a love story, the cutesy reciprocal texting. However the “Bound for Hell” lacks nuances that often contribute to a thought provoking reading experience. The character development appears weak, flat and uni-dimensional. The story is told in the first person, through Angel’s point-of-vue.

So obsessed with these book.

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

I do not have the words to describe how much I loved these three books. I lost so much sleep. I ignored my house, husband, and kids for this book. Ok, slight exaggeration, but not by much. I read a lot of books. A lot of them I couldn't tell you much about them a week later. This one I will remember years from now. I absolutely loved Ethan and Angel. I loved how much they loved each other. I loved that it wasn't the same theme that so many authors use were the man is like, Ok, I want to sleep with you, but I don't do relationships. There were so many twist and turns. There were a couple of times that the sex scene seemed too long. And it had a few too many jealous mishaps. I was kind of wanting more scenes with her family in book three. Regardless of those three things, these were some awesome books. I immediately went to look for more by this author wanting to find out if she had more books. There is an author with the same first two names but there's a third name so I'm not sure it it's the same author. I will definitely keep an eye out for more and do more investigating because I'm a HUGE fan now.

Revenge of the Feels

It might just be the best decision I have ever made to read Bound for Hell!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

It is one of the best novel I have ever read! So raw and emotionally heart-gripping, Bound for Hell is definitely one read you would not one to miss!

It’s really rare to be able to read a novel filled with so much pain and darkness, yet so much love and emotions too! Besides Kimberly Blalock’s Our Sins and J. Kenner’s Stark trilogy, I have a feeling the Bound Trilogy will be one of the best contemporary romance read ever!

I can tell you this – Kendra Leigh’s writing is addictive.

Her writing is so addictive to the point where I literally cannot put Bound for Hell down. Seriously, the only time I got up was to the restroom and that’s it! Yes, that’s how addictive her writing is!

Bound for Hell will invoke two of the most extreme feelings from you – the sweetest and happiest emotion, and the saddest, darkest and most painful emotion. Two emotions of extreme opposites, and that’s just the start!

Bound for Hell will literally drive your feelings to hell and back because it’s too painful to read what Angel Lawson went through, and has to go through in her life for a sin she firmly believes she has committed. I have never been so grateful to the existence of a male character, a.k.a a man like Ethan Wilde, who exists in her life because he is literally what she NEEDS in her life at the moment!

Kendra Leigh is able to bring life to her characters…and beyond!

Ethan Wilde, a wildly possessive alpha, yet also the sweetest man whenever Angel needs him. Angel Lawson, the kindest and most forgiving woman filled with nightmares and demons of her own. Both of them needs each other and their moments together will be the most painful yet sweetest thing you will ever read!

Well, billionaire romance novels usually puts the said billionaire in an isolated situation filled with demons yet for Bound for Hell, also partly the reason why I am so attracted to it, is that Ethan is a man who cares for his family and they have a wonderful family relationship. Angel on the other hand, is the one with the worst family ever and my heart literally shattered into thousands of pieces when I was reading.

There is only so much I can tell with just words but to truly experience the heartbreaking story of Angel Lawson and how Ethan Wilde could be her salvation… READ. THIS. BOOK.

I promise you will never regret it!

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2015

This debut novel encompasses all that is good for this genre and opens us up to an emotional enthralling story of two souls brought together.

Angel, flawed through tragic circumstances and at odds with her family who blame her for a past she cannot change, nor should she be blamed for.

Ethan a successful, sort after batchelor who’s very presence seems to mesmerise women round him, however he can only see Angel after a hot yet brief encounter.

This story is fast paced, pulling you in from the get go.

There are similarities to Bared to You, but that is absolutely not a criticism, the similarities are very much in a good way and what I mean by this is, that I am invested in Angel and Ethan’s story as I was in Gideon and Eva’s and yet there is plenty about this story that is so much more than that. I mean this as a compliment to the writing of Kendra Leigh, I believe she brings a great deal to the table and has a great future in writing.

So much happens in book 1 and it has left me chomping at the bit for more.

Ready for book 2. So good!

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2015

A great first book of three. I really like the female character, Angelica. Has had a broken/damaged childhood. Despite of all that she is still strong and deals with her s***. I need to know more in the second book. And the male character, Ethan is to me still a mystery. And I like that. Hopefully more will be revealed in the sequel. Can't wait and want more cause it's so good and their relationship is what drives this book.

Not just hot, this is sizzling, in fact it is on fire. Great story, great sex scenes and written exquisitely

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

Well this is a terrific exciting HOT AS HELL read, there are two main characters Ethan and Angelica (Angel). Angel has a low self esteem issue, which was brought on after the death of her mother and her father's attitude towards her.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is my honest review.
Angel, was terrified of relationships, her idea of a relationship was just sexual, she would love them and leave them so to speak. Although a stunning looking woman Angel will not commit to any man. She works hard, plays hard but none of the guys mean anything to her.

One night everything changes she catches the eye of Ethan Wilde and her heart races, she is immensely sexually attracted to him by his terrific looks and amazing body, and by the way he looks at her in return it is clear he feels the exact same. Angel ends up sleeping with Ethan, she decided before hand that he is probably a love them and leave them kinda guy, but is she right? Could Ethan want more? Well that is all the information I am prepared to disclose relating to the actual story for fear of spoiling it, but, I will tell you this is sexually explosive, the sex scenes are explicit, it's not just hot it's on fire, the Author writes so beautifully you cannot help but be swept away in this terrific story.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, very good storyline and hints of more drama to come, tempting read, also had a modicum of realism which keeps the book grounded. Positive review. Highly recommend. 5 stars
