Kerry Sullivan’s brother has been framed for embezzlement from the bank that employs him. Desperate to prove his innocence and save her brother from a life in prison, Kerry tries to enlist the aid of top electronic security expert, Rafe Dawson. When Dawson refuses to listen and blocks her phone calls, she resorts to kidnapping him to make him listen to her.
Rafe Dawson is close to fulfilling his long held goal of proving his worth to his estranged father. That is, he was, until he woke to find himself tied to a bed and at the mercy of the beautiful Kerry Sullivan. The embodiment of his every fantasy, Rafe finds himself unable to resist Kerry’s plea for help once he has met her. In return, he demands she comply with his every demand for the next 48 hours! But as the end to their bargain draws near, Rafe fears 48 hours will never be enough time with Kerry.
Shelley Bradley has quickly found a place on my automatic buy list! Having now read all of her currently available novels, I find each as compelling and touching as the next. Bradley has a definite talent for bringing her characters to life, making the reader feel as if they are a fly on the wall watching the story unfold.
From page one of Bound and Determined, you can feel Kerry’s love for her brother and her desperation to save him – even resorting to kidnapping a man twice her size to do it! Kerry wins both Rafe and the readers with the depth of her love and loyalty to her brother Mark, and it is easy to see why Rafe is captivated by her.
Rafe is the hunkiest computer nerd you’ve ever seen! If I could find a bad boy computer geek like Rafe Dawson, I think I’d be more than willing to give up my single status! With omniscience to both Rafe’s and Kerry’s motivations and thoughts, we empathize with Rafe even when he is making the worst mistakes concerning his relationship with Kerry. Ultimately, he is the last to believe he has it in him to do right by the woman he loves, making the road to true love a wonderfully heart wrenching roller coaster.
Shelley Bradley proves her adeptness with a mystery plot mingled with romance with Bound and Determined, and sets the stage for an intriguing series, with the sequel Strip Search picking up where this novel finishes. If you like your romances with a good mystery and a bit of action, you will want to run to the nearest book store to pick up your copy of Bound and Determined!

The language, some might call it smut, me... well written and well worth the read, LOL! Regardless of the way it was written, it was more than plenty to make you hot under the collar and squirm in your seat, and I love that in an exotic contemporary novel. Bradley chose her wording well! The story has it's own little mystery, all together with action (in bed and out), made it exciting to read. Couldn't get enough, LMAO! You could feel the connection between hero and heroine, the characters were sincere and completely believable, uncluding the bad guys. I kinda guessed who it was, but that didn't matter to me. It was how the climax played out that went well with the story. The women are far from the helpless, brainless female, and the men not only struggle with the action, but with their feelings as well. A good read, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an easy read. And although this isn't part of a series, the second book coincides is titled Strip Search.”
