"It’s overly glib to call a book a page-turner. But the fact is, I entered this one somewhat casually, with few expectations: widowed mother and spinster daughter fall on hard times and turn their house into a bed-sit? What else is new? What was new were the tenants who turned life upside down in startlingly erotic and terrifying ways. I could not put this one down. And in fact I would pick it up again in a heartbeat—even knowing what happens. It’s how it happens that grabs you and won’t let go."

While I love Lilli Feisty and everything she writes, I am glad that I read Dare to Surrender before Bound to Please. While there is nothing wrong with Bound to Please, it didn't floor me like Dare to Surrender did.

I thought I was going to have a problem with the age difference, but it was drawn attention to so little that I completely forgot about it. What did get to me was what Mark makes her do with a strawberry. I can't imagine anyone getting pleasure from it.

Moving on. I love Lilli Feisty's erotic scenes. She obviously knows what she is talking about when it comes to BDSM and the like. It makes it that much more believable. However, nothing kills an erotic scene quicker than someone calling the other baby. I hate it more than I hate cheesy pick up lines. I don't know what it is about that endearment, but I feel like it is tainted and trashy.

What really got me about this story, was Mark's love for Ruby. Feisty made him seem so human that it was hard to not feel bad for him while he struggled with keeping his distance. It made him that much more endearing.
