5 stars for sure i love this entire series! This book melts my heart and brought tears to my eyes in the first chapter it’s sooo good! Can’t wait for the next book!
If you’re like me, you’ve been on every journey Red Phoenix has taken with Brie and Sir from the very beginning. “Tied to Hope” was so anticipated by me; waiting to see where they would go next. Every twist and turn through the maze of emotions had me laughing, crying and just giddy with emotion myself. And Rytsar? Who doesn’t love him? It was like Old Home Week to see all the characters again. To see how much they’ve grown and evolved. And especially to see how much deeper the bond between Sir, Brie, and Rytsar has gotten. The family is growing by leaps and bounds and Red Phoenix is in charge of the reunion. If you’ve been following along, you won’t want to miss this one. If you haven’t? Oh, by all means, jump aboard. You’ll never regret it. I was lucky enough to be given a copy of this book and am proud to give my honest and voluntary review.
Ms Phoenix has certainly created a book of homecoming and a lot of love. With Rystar’s return, comes so much emotion. There is only one way Brie, Sir and Rystar can work through each and every feeling, yep you guessed it, hot sexy scenes! Thank goodness for those small reprieves from the angst, emotions and struggles within the pages. Tissues are a must as many old characters return. This book holds true to the series and creates a world of family, love and friendship around one very important baby.
How does Red Phoenix do this? When I see a book is a serial, I usually just walk away from it. I want an HEA and I don’t like to compromise. HOWEVER! This series grabbed hold of me and WILL NOT LET GO! The story is always compelling, always grabs hold of you, and pulls emotions from you and makes you feel what the characters are feeling. You can not help but fall in love with this series. The relationship of Brie and Sir is so real. There are the usual ups and downs and the way they handle them is just inspiring. The way they love and support their friends, and their friends do the same for them, is just something that I wish I had in my own life. I also love the relationship they have with Rytsar. Oh boy that man is HOT. Brie is one lucky girl. If you haven’t read this series, you really need to. It is a wonderful story and you will NOT be disappointed. Oh, and make sure you have tissues available.
The 18th book in Red Phoenix’s Brie’s Submission series is Tied to Hope. My heart absolutely broke for Rytsar in this story. He has been through so much heartache and there is even more heading his way. This story is an absolute roller coaster but it is worth it! The bond between Thane and Brie continues to strengthen but their bond with Rytsar becomes even stronger.. Full of hot steamy moments that will leave you gasping for breath and fanning yourself! I can’t get enough of these characters or this story!!!
Great continuation of the Brie story.
Oh My Goodness, I feel like I’ve said this a million times before but, honestly….if you haven’t read this series yet…WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!
I have no idea how she does it, but I do believe this may be the BEST book of the series. How is that possible?! This is book 18 for crying out loud! Gah…..Red Phoenix you utterly astound me with your talent and your care and consideration for these characters . Is it any wonder that I fell a$$ over elbow for this series once I picked up book 1? I feel like every book thus far was leading me to THIS story. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!
SOMEONE PASS THE KLEENEX PLEASE! My emotions are running out all over my face. The dynamic that exists between Rytsar, Brie and Sir Thane Davis is SWOON F’n WORTHY!! I have never read a ménage relationship that is as well cultivated, respectful, and HOT as the blue flame of fire that flourishes between these three characters. OMG…They are so perfect together, and the love amongst them is palpable it feels so real to me. They care so deeply for each other, and of course for dear sweet baby Hope. Talk about an ovary explosion! Two incredibly sexy, but domineering men turn to pure mush around one little girl. I love this!!! Especially, when it comes from the big, bad sadist himself. The irony of this just gets me right in my FEELS!
On top of all this goodness happening with my favorite trio, SCHOOL IS IN SESSION!!! We get visits from all the lovable characters of the Submissive Training Center. SAY WHAT?!?! OMG….was not expecting to read all those names and catch up with all my favorite peeps from STC. My heart is SO DARN FULL right now!!! (yeah, there’s some angst and drama, but don’t you worry, I’m all smiles now and all the tears are happy ones )
For reals, there is no other series like this one. Red Phoenix is the Master…no pun intended I swear, at writing BDSM characters that feel better than family to you. The books are SO full of heart, and these characters are a part of me because of the way she portrays them and their lives. You are definitely missing out on a wonderful reading experience if you haven’t met the STC family yet.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this and every book that came before it!
I had a really had time getting into this book. I felt Brie was more whiny than usual in this story. The new situation with Rytsar, I’ve been wondering which Dom was going to get that “scare” and surprised it has not happened already. I’m more interested in a side character’s situation and what will happen with the documentary. The author does a really good job of illustrating the love and respect in her Dom/sub relationships and her writing flows. I do feel like she rushed the ending.
I volunteered to read a pre-release copy for my honest opinion.
One of the best reads I’ve had to date!! Red blew me away again and again with this installment of Brie’s journey. I laughed and cried. I got mad and sad, yet it was all worth it. The emotions evoked from this book are ones of depth and meaning. It will leave you wanting for more. I can’t wait to see where Brie and the gang’s journey goes next!! This book will be sure to deliver even more than you could ever imagine!!
This book truly does have a ton of emotion. I was able to truly feel every emotion in this book. This series has a way of captivating every available emotion. It makes you feel happy, sad, loved. The scenes are very visual and descriptive that makes you feel as you are there observing and experiencing everything with Brie, Sir, and the rest of the crew. It is an amazing story that continues to bring forth the love and dedication in all aspects.
Brie and the gang are back for another sensual, sexy, emotional and exciting story. Red Phoenix has this way of pouring her heart and soul into these characters. Reading them is coming home.
Tied To Hope is a journey, and a revelation it is learning to love and let go if that’s what’s necessary. The BDSM elements are some of the most erotic and unique scenes in the story and just show the highest levels of trust, love and communication.
Red Phoenix gave me all the feels!!
Wow just wow I needed a moment to catch my breath and collect my thoughts before I could write my review.
SO many emotions/feelings all woven into one POWERFUL story from joy, happiness, fear, anger, sorrow, love, passion and triumph to name a few.
Brie, Sir(Thane), Hope and Rystar’s journey had me ugly crying, happy crying, laughing, screaming and even cursing up a storm a few dozen times.
Their blood bond ,undying devotion and true connection through love & loss,pain & pleasure continue to strengthen which helps them be able to survive the secrets that try to rip them apart. I loved how Rystar interacted with Hope. And how protective Shadow is of Hope.
We also get to revisit all the cast of characters from the past books! YAY!!!
If you haven’t started reading this series yet I highly recommend you do so !
Five beautiful/hot emotional
Absolutely fantastic and emotional read. The connection between Rystar and Thane with Brie is undoubtedly epic. Rystar has been my favorite character throughout the series and to see him blossom within being tied to Hope…. marvelous.
“I may not survive the consequences of the truth. You will, because we won’t let you fall.”
Emotions are at an all time high with all the characters within the series.
Love love love!!!
Tied to Hope by Red Phoenix. When I say that Red did her thing believe me. I would have given it more stars if I could. (5+). This book shows the true meaning of love and family. You don’t have to be related by blood to be family. It made me happy and sad. I really became too emotional. As always the scenes between the trio (Sir, Rystar, & Brie) was outstanding, off the chart Hot!!! They really need to just make it permanent. I love seeing a venerable side to Rystar but he has been through so much. I almost wish Titiana was alive. He needs someone to love for himself. I just broke down by the time the book ended. One minute I was jumping up and down and next the bottom fell out. This overall book was just combustible. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Tied to hope is the newest in the Brie’s Submission series. I am fairly new this series having only read the first three, Bound by Love, and Tied to Hope. I found this book to be an emotional ride for Brie, Thane and Rytsar. I loved reading and following their story, and look forward to reading the other books in the series.
“This little one ties all of us together. Her happiness will be our happiness.”
Tied to Hope was another enjoyable read in the Bries Submission series. I swear it don’t matter how many books I read in this series I can never get enough of all these characters. Phoenix has such a knack for pulling out all the emotions with her writing. I loved the way the emotions just flowed through the words of this story. I laughed. I cried. I swooned. This story was a true emotional roller coaster ride I would be more than willing to ride again. But underneath all that emotion the authors intent was clear, family is everything. And honestly I can’t think of a stronger family bond then the characters of Bries Submission. They may be friends by choice, but they are family by heart. I loved catching up with Mary and Leah. They are still some of my favorite characters. I am still holding out hope we will be getting books from them eventually. *wink wink*
“We’ll never give up because we’re condors.”
Sir and Brie will forever be one of my favorite couples! Watching them develop and grow throughout this series has been fantastic expirence. From the unconditional love they share, to the complete support and respect they have for each other is beautiful. Their devotion to eachother just pulls you in. Watching their journey through life with Hope now is truly wonderful. And I LOVED the chemistry between Rytsar, Sir and Brie. It was seriously off the charts y’all!! It sizzles and cracks from your kindle like a live wire. And oh man did things get steamy! Some of them scenes was some of the authors best scenes yet! And I would be lying if I didn’t say I’m absolutely partial to Rytsar. He’s the one Dom who I think will always dominate my heart above all the others. I am rooting for all the characters in this journey. I am so excited to see where the author and these characters take me next!
“Radost moya…” Her pet name rolled off his lips like a love song.”
*4&1/2 STARS
Well earned for another fantastic installment to the Bries Submission world. I can not recommend this book and series enough. It is captivating as it is beautiful.
4.5 stars
Readers who’ve followed Brie’s journey from the beginning will be delighted by Red Phoenix’s addition to the series. Readers and Brie and Thane awaited anxiously to learn what became of their dear friend Rytsar and Phoenix didn’t disappoint in bringing him home. The powerful connection between the three hasn’t waned in the slightest and it always adds another layer to the storyline. As Red likes to play with us, she always adds a little angst but seeing as Rytsar is a renowned sadist, it works well. My heart broke for all this man has endured, and the hits keep coming, but readers will find much to love about Tied to Hope.

5 Stars is never enough for a Red Phoenix book!!
Tied to Hope is #18 in a long line of hot sexy fun and lots of love! This group of characters has had me laughing crying and even grabbing a fan to cool myself off! In this story we are asked ” What would you sacrifice for love?” Our sexy trio is faced with a challenging twist (leave it to Red to keep us on her emotional roller coaster) how will this play out and who will help this trio ? I have loved following Brie’s Submission for the past 6.5 years. I feel as if I know each of these characters intimately. This newest edition has greatly surpassed all my expectations!
without giving away spoilers I have to say this book is so good and has all the feels in it be prepared to laugh,cry,love,get angry, Brie and Sir and Rytsar steam up the book as always but the story about Rytsar had me emotional first emotional then mad and sad as you read you will see why….. I loved that all our favs are in the book and you get Lea and her jokes too …..
I honestly don’t know how to start this review. I received this book as an ARC from the author, but, as she well knows, I’m opinionated and can’t be swayed. 🙂
Do I start it by talking about the love Ms. Phoenix has written between Brie and Thane? That love has survived many, many challenges over the course of this series, and they’ve come out stronger in the end each time.
Do I start by talking about the blood bond between Thane and Rytsar? These two have been standing at each other’s sides since the very beginning of their friendship in college. They are brothers, through and through. And Rytsar cares for Brie and Hope, and watches over them, just as carefully as Thane does.
Do I talk about the BDSM scenes in the book? Those scenes, which are carefully written and never contain something that isn’t physically possible (PLEASE other authors take note, lol). This book contained menage scenes that show respect and deference in a huge way because of the intense love between the three of them.
Because, you see, all three of those ingredients went into this book in double measure, which made this an enjoyable, heart-warming book to read. But more importantly, as Ms. Phoenix writes each book in her series, they get better. There are no silly scenes in any of Red’s books. I don’t know that she knows how to write silly, shallow scenes. Her books are full of feelings, just like BDSM is in real life.
Kudos Red Phoenix. I enjoyed this book immensely, and you’d better head back to that laptop of yours because I do believe your fans will be asking you for the next installment of the love between Thane, Rytsar, Brie and Hope
