I want to prove my worth, show them what I have. I may be flawed; we all are.But I’m smart, driven, and ready to take on the world. No one needs to know the rest.I wasn’t counting on him, couldn’t imagine someone like him coming into my life.The blue eyes, the chiseled body, the man I can’t resist.Truthfully, I have no plans of ever resisting him. He has the carefree, playboy life he wants, The … carefree, playboy life he wants,
The one he created and refuses to give up.
But he didn’t count on me waltzing in and changing everything.
Gray can’t deny his passion for me—all parts of me,
Even the truth I try to bury—the flaws he knows I’m hiding.
And trust me, he’s imperfect too.
But sometimes, we need more than love—more than we can give.

WOW!!!! I finished Bound last night and needed to take some time to get my thoughts together before writing my review. Annie and Gray’s story isn’t easy, but I believe it’s oh so honest and that many people can relate to some or all of their journey. Everyone wants to be loved even if it isn’t always the right kind of love, this story is heart wrenching and wasn’t always easy to keep reading, but it was oh so worth it. Stephie’s writing grabbed me from the first page and had me wanting to do nothing but continue reading until I finished. I was happy, sad, mad, kindle throwing angry, it was truly a wonderful emotional story of love, loss and doing what is right for yourself no matter how much it hurts. I can’t wait to see how Annie and Gray’s story plays out in Freed.
Holy Hell!!! All I can say is thank god I have the second book. That cliffhanger is brutal. The back and forth with Grey and Annie. The connection they have is beautiful and painful. My heart swells with joy and then hurts and aches for Annie. Annie is one strong woman with what she has had to endure and try to overcome. I can’t wait to start the second book to find out if she ends up with Grey or Brett.
Wow – this book was so much more than I can even explain!
I loved Annie and all her demons. I must admit that I didn’t like that she did drugs but it seemed to fit her character and the need to numb herself and escape from everything in her past. Annie portrays a level of control in her life yet it was an illusion of perfection that could crumbling down at any moment.
I loved Annie’s friendship with Jenny and then Scarlett with how much they supported her when she needed them. I was super sad with what ended up happening with one as you knew deep down that it wasn’t going to last with everything.
Annie’s past with Will was so devastating and I hated how Annie blamed herself for everything. I understood her blame and glad that she was eventually able to start working through everything.
Gray was such a complicated character as at times I did really like him and at other times I completely hated him. I was so mad when Annie started learning the truth about everything and the timing on it all. Gray could be the most considerate man in the world and then he could be the biggest ass in the whole world. I was blown away when he made certain choices that destroyed Annie.
The book ends in a bit of a cliffhanger and I am terrified on what Annie is going to do. I know what I want her to do but we’ll see if she chooses the same thing!

I have never wanted to throat punch a character so badly. I loved Gray, then I hated him, then hated him even more. One chapter I would be angry at him and the next chapter I would be angry at myself for being angry at him.
Gray is one roller coaster that I would want to ride once but after that one ride I would be good because he is that ride that upsets your stomach and makes you want to curl up in bed and call it a day.
Annie is a character I can relate to more than I would like. I know first hand how hard it is to leave a yoyo relationship, especially when that person is connected to your soul.
Stephie’s writing once again pulled me in from the Prologue. I hung to her words and felt the emotions behind every one of them. When Stephie writes happiness your feel it in your soul. When Stephie writes devastation you feel it in your bones. Annie and Gray’s story had me at war. I wanted Annie to leave, I wanted Annie to stay. I wanted them to be happy together.
We don’t always get what we want, do we?
Bring on Freed because my heart is ready for Annie to move on from the train wreck she was on with Gray.
