Bound in Sacrifice by Murphy Wallace

Bound in Sacrifice by Murphy Wallace
Series: The Dirty Heroes Collection #4
Genres: BDSM, Erotic Romance

Once upon a time, a scorned Queen opened a box, unleashing horrible evil on the world's heroes.

Instead of gallantry and chivalry, they now possessed much more perverse traits.
They’ve fallen victim to their darkest and most deviant desires.

This is one of their stories...
A regular at my club racked up a large debt that he couldn’t afford, so I sent my men to collect. Instead of delivering the money I was owed, they brought me her. Unable to fulfill her father’s debt, I told her he would pay for it with his life. When she begged to trade her father’s life for her own, I was intrigued. But she couldn’t hide the shiver of fear cloaked beneath the façade of strength and bravery she tried to portray.

Silly girl, you don't know what you've gotten yourself into.
I'm going to snuff out your pride and stomp on your courage.

My father was a good man with strong values, who put his family above everything else. We weren’t perfect, but we were happy. Then, Mom died and took our happiness with her. Dad quickly got caught in a downward spiral that spun our world into chaos. The warm, caring man that I knew from my childhood was replaced with a complete stranger.

It sucked the light from my world. Now, I feel I will pay greatly for his transgressions.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

This is my first book in this series and I must say that I enjoyed it. It is the retelling of a fairy tale in a most delicious way. Beast is well a beast to those who went against him. Since this is an erotic novella with BDSM he is certainly a Dom to be wary of. Again, he’s called beast for a reason people! Yet to Rosabelle he isn’t. With her he shows a softer side and of course is the Dom when needed. She balances him in a way he didn’t know he needed. Beast shows Rosabelle just how much of a natural submissive she really is. All in all this was a great read. I would have loved for it to be longer but since it is a novella it’s short. It did intrigue me enough to want to check out the other stories in the series.

I swallow my nerves like I’ve done nearly every moment of this provocative and exhausting day so far, and it’s only just past noon.
“I’m not sure about anything, anymore. I don’t even know who I am, right now. All I know is that I am tired of making the wrong decisions. Tomorrow, I may feel differently about my choices being taken away from me. But today, the erotic feeling that is swirling around inside of me, wreaking havoc on my body is my driving force. Outside of that, I don’t have enough energy to care about anything else.”
Who is this person inside of my head making me speak these terrifying words? I feel like I am having an out of body experience and I don’t know whether or not I should fight my way back in, or pop some popcorn and see how this all plays out.
I look at The Beast who seems to be desperately trying to prove to me that he is more than what his nickname implies. 
“You’ll hold your feelings in higher regard by the time I’m finished with you. You’ll see exactly how exhilarating it is to leave your fate in the hands of the person entrusted with your care.”
His promise comes across as a threat, yet it stokes the fire that is still burning bright within me. 
“Yes, Sir.”
“Walk to the door and wait for me. I need to go talk to Master Luca for a second and I’ll be right there.”
I stand in response to his instruction and my conscience screams at me to wake up and realize what is happening. But I’ve already checked out of reality for the day. At some point between the time that I woke up this morning and now, I managed to lose my Goddamn mind.

    Honestly, I just don’t get the draw to the whole BDSM books. But, to each his or her own, lol. I’m sure it’ll be a popular book.

    Not sure this is for me. I had an unfortunate Dom/Sub relationship…but after a while it wasn’t fun anymore. Not just sexually…but it got to the point where I had to walk 10 paces behind him, and sign over my paycheck to him and get a $10/week allowance. After that, although I like erotica, I tend to stay away from BDSM.

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
