Hope Wallace left Atlanta after being betrayed by her family and friends in the worst way. Now, running a homeless shelter in downtown Miami, she was finally doing what she wanted with her life and working at putting the past behind her. The only thing marring her happiness was the constant desire to explore the lifestyle her new friends enjoyed so much. She had tried that once, and it led to … disaster and her losing everything, but the urges kept pulling at her until she finally succumbed and braved going to a club.
Miles Cavenaugh fell for Hope the minute he saw her bruised face and determination to protect a friend and resident at her shelter. His violent childhood kept him from forming relationships, his fear of losing his temper if he came across someone harming an innocent woman or child made him anti-social and preferring to stick with his close friends for companionship. But when he hears Hope is at a local club while there is a serial abuser of submissives making the rounds in Florida, he rushes to ensure she stays safe. Unable to continue keeping each other at arm’s length, Miles and Hope agree to a short-term affair where he’ll introduce her to the lifestyle she craves until she gets her interest out of her system. But an unknown person is determined that Hope won’t find the happiness that has eluded her for so long, and both she and Miles may have waited too long to come clean with each other about their pasts.
Publisher’s Note: This steamy romance contains elements of power exchange. While it is book four of the series, it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone.

Bound to Submit is the 4th book in the Miami Masters Series and I am working my way through them! I LOVE this series. This is Hope Wallace and Miles Cavenaugh’s story. Miles appetite is voracious due to him going hungry as a kid. In every book it seems like he eats everything and his friends know him and tease him about his appetite. It’s a good thing he is into exercise and owns a gym.
Hope owns Hope’s Crossing a place for the homeless. Miles has tried to protect Hope for a while now. We have met both Hope & Miles because they have been in a previous book!
I loved reading Bound to Submit and can’t wait to read Book 5 His to Master & Own! I give 4.5 stars to Bound to Submit.

Protector…
Each member of the “Gang of Seven” has their own little role. Miles is the protector. His childhood has shaped him into the man he is. Although one “incident” from his past has him thinking he can never have a HEA. After their first meeting, Miles appointed himself to the job of protecting Hope. A position Hope doesn’t think necessary. As the two continue to dance around their attraction, secrets from the past continue to haunt them. Secrets have a way of coming back to hurt you. Will they learn to trust each other with the truth before it’s too late? I absolutely love the “Gang of Seven”.

Bound to Submit is the fourth in the Miami Masters series, and like the previous three, it continues the theme of men (and women) with pasts who come together and find in each other a way to heal.
I’ve been interested in Miles’ story since I first started this series, and it definitely met my expectations. He’s such a tough, dominant man, and in Hope, the woman who runs the shelter first mentioned in Bound and Saved, he has finally met his match. Miles has become obsessed with watching over Hope, watching outside the shelter, going by there numerous times a day (and night), and spending all his time thinking about her. He knows he’s not good enough for her, not with his past, and that’s why he’s never made a move on her. But, when he finds her in Chains, his Dom instincts flare and soon the two are indulging themselves in a strictly casual thing where he schools her on the lifestyle she’s always been curious about, but had never allowed herself to immerse in since a particularly bad incident in her past. Of course, casual rarely, if ever, remains casual when passion is involved, and Miles and Hope are no exception. But, their secrets just may ruin anything solid the two may contemplate, once they’re aired.
Bound to Submit is definitely my favorite of this series so far. Miles and Hope make a great couple. They’re smoking hot together and I love how layered and interesting they are, both individually and as a couple. I’m definitely looking forward to more from this world.
I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through Booksprouts ARC.
Miles watches over Hope while she takes care of the womens shelter. Miles fell for Hope the moment he saw her. Miles decided to visit the shelter with Jackson and it seemed just in time. An Ex of one of the women was harassing Hope. Miles walked up and took care of the situation until the police arrived to take the man away. It was getting harder for Hope to stop thinking about Miles. He had been having the same problem but didn’t want to ask her out.
Hopes friends were going to take a self defense class from Miles at the gym. They asked Hope to join them but she always had an excuse. Hope runs into Miles at the BDSM club her friend gave her a guest pass she was surprised and annoyed that she was there by herself. Days later Miles has Hope’s routine down but this time he is going surprise her. When he grabbed her he let her know that it was him. He showed her how easy someone could get to her. She decided she would take the class and he could slack her submissive urge. Miles and Hope played around a little but no sex. Miles takes her to his boat he owned with his friends for a trip. . Miles and Hope set sail with his friends Julie Jackson and Trevor. Hope couldn’t believe Trevor was going to punish the two subs for disobeying Miles takes her down to the dungeon on the yacht. Miles comes to see Hope when he gets to the shelter he overheard Hope telling one of her clients that if she goes back to her ex she would not be able to hold a bed for her. Mile realizes that he really cares for her..will they be able to find to get over the hurdles of their past?
Twists,Turns,murder and a lot of hot sex.
The fourth book in the series and it is the story of Miles and Hope.
Both Miles and Hope are scarred by their past and carry it with them everyday. they are attracted to each other, but don’t want to commit. Miles is strongly protective of Hope and wants her safe, but he doesn’t do relationships. Hope want to explore more and knows Miles can give her what she wants, but she is afraid he will judge her for her past.
These two characters dance around each other and like the martial arts classes that Miles teaches they advance and retreat. It makes for an emotional read. and when they do get together sparks don’t just fly, they explode.
It is a wonderful read.
