Being Hers

Irresistibly Bound, Book 1

By: Anna Stone

Narrated by: Lexy Rebe

Melanie has spent her entire life working her way up in the world. By day, she studies at law school, and by night, she serves drinks at an exclusive club to afford her tuition. But the hard-working Melanie will never admit her true desire: to escape from her fast-paced, high-pressure life, if only for a moment.

When Melanie meets Vanessa, a glamorous executive and a regular at the club, she is drawn to the enigmatic black-haired woman. Vanessa is relentless in pursuing what she wants - and what she wants is Melanie. Soon, Melanie finds herself caught up in Vanessa’s sensual games of submission.

Melanie insists that her affair with Vanessa remain purely physical. But as her limits are tested, so is the line between lust and love. When ghosts from the past reappear, both women must face their deepest fears. Can Melanie surrender her everything to Vanessa, or will old wounds prove too great?

Wow...

First time I've read a book like this. I wasn't expecting this kind of book. I've never been curious about this "world." I am surprised. Not in a negative way. I just had not realized the depth of intimacy this lifestyle entailed. I guess reading it from a purely unaware perspective, it was actually really informative. It almost turned into something academic read for me. Not in a boring way. Like studying the inner working of the human psychology. I am sure the author didn't just write this book without doing research on the subject. I mean, I have at least two personal friends that dabbled into writing. And one of them actually published a fiction novel. So I know that writers do research and not just spew out nonsense into the pages of their book.

Anyway, I really like the way the author got into the psychology of what this "world" is about. The intricacies of how people's mind ticked coupled with delving into the complexity of human relationships intertwined with deep human emotions. Sorry for the cryptic review. I am not in a habit of giving out any info about what this book is all about. Normally, if it's a good book, I say a few good things. If it's a great read, I get into a lengthy process of saying something good but not give away content about the story. You just have to sit through it and read for yourself and enjoy it the way I did. Happy reading!

Not relatable

Totally boring, what was the plot? I guessed the whole book, gave me 50 shades rip off except 50 shades had a good story line

Loved it!!

Very hot love story that speaks to the trust one must have when giving oneself over to someone completely.

A Good Time

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator was great! Honestly could’ve easily been 5 stars but there was too much use of the word lips 😂

The spice was excellent 😏

Good book, different narrator

I enjoyed the book very much. Reminded me a lot of 50 Shades. However, I felt like the narrator had too mature of a voice for Vanessa and made Melanie sound like a mere child of maybe 18. It sounded like Vanessa was in her mid 40s or older, like a "Ms Robinson" instead of a 34yr old. Other than that, not a bad listen.

Anna Stone does it again.

It's a very beautiful and hot love story between two great characters. I loved how Venessa about the rules and the safe word and could trust each other unconditionally. See Mel address Vanessa by her first name.

Started off a bit cheesy - but it was really good.

I loved the mix in this story of characters. Everything plays into each other nicely. I love a good happy, not to mention.. blissful set of scenes. 10/10

Makes me hot!

This story has opened my eyes to a new world, I never really understood. I have to say I have never thought about BDSM, but I feel much more openness to the nuances of the art.

Loved it!

The narrator does an amazing job with this book! She brings the characters alive. The author did a really good job choosing her. That all being said, the characters are relatable. it was a great book and a great listening experience. Can't wait to listen to another one!

DNF

The book overall has a very poorly written storyline. The characters were underdeveloped, and the romance scenes were rushed and unrealistic.
