Miranda’s Review
Bound Beneath His Pain the the first book in the new BDSM series, Dirty Little Secrets by Stacey Kennedy. I loved the Club Sin novels and after the author introduced the new characters in the final Club Sin book, I was excited to see what she’d come up with next.
The book is pretty good. I liked the characters, but at times I feel like Micah made a huge deal out of things that weren’t as big as he thought. His issues with thinking he was bad because of his proclivities got to be a bit tedious. Especially when Allie showed signs that she enjoyed some dominance in the bedroom…just talk to her!! He frustrated me to no end.
Allie carried the story for me. She is the character I connected to the most and rooted for. She’s sweet and loving. Forgiving even when she shouldn’t be. The chemistry between her and Micah was combustable and I liked who he became when he was around her. He showed a much softer side for sure.
I wasn’t completely blown away with this book, but the series has potential and I look forward to see what comes next for these dominants.
