Irresistible Bond is a romance suspense novel by Victoria Saccenti. It is book 5 of the Central Florida Stories Series and can be read as a stand-alone. Marcus, Storm, and Barrington are childhood best friends. As children they were inseparable but Storm is preparing to begin her dream job with the DEA. Of course, this happens just as things start to heat up with the trio and they find themselves wanting to explore a different side to their bond. This book was very interesting and layered. The storytelling is rich and emotional. The bond between the cousins, Marcus and Barrington, and their “princess” Storm is very strong. This author provides a richer experience than was expected. There are some trigger warnings but it is worth the read.

Storm, Marcus and Barrington were inseparable when they were young, although the attraction was there between all three of them they decide one night to delve into the chemistry. Although they loved each other with Marcus and Barrington being from a wealthy family, Storm was always seen as below them in there family circles.
One night Storm hears what there families truly think of her and she then decides to pursue her career within the DEA leaving the cousins to live there lives. Roll on four years later and when a operation goes wrong Storm is left with emotional and physical scars to recover from but when she is home Marcus and Barrington show up and restore faith in Storm slowly with there love and patience.
Can they make it work and can Storm trust the two cousins with her heart?
This is the fifth book in this series and although this is a series, this book can be read as a stand alone although there are some over laps with the previous books you can follow the story easily.
I loved the chemistry and relationships between all three of the main characters and the love they have for each other jumps of the page. There are some trigger topics with the scenes when Storm is held captive but this adds to the story and how remarkable the character of Storm is to try and overcome the experiences.
I have always liked Marcus and Barrington from the previous stories but they just are cemented more and more in my heart after sticking up for Storm with there family and living their lives they way they want to is just refreshing to read. The chemistry jumps off the page and the story is intense and flows brilliant which will have you staying up all night finishing this brilliant story.
I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This has been an amazing series to read so far. This is Marcus, Storm & Barrington’s story. It is intense. I found myself feeling all the emotions as I went through this story. This story is definitely spicy. It’s also got action and drama. There’s a lot going on. Some familiar faces from Club Nexus pop in and make an appearance. This is an amazing story. This is one of those that I by her stories because I know they will always fascinate.

OOMG!! This book is S.T.E.A.M.Y! Storm, Marcus and Barrington were inseparable growing up. Cousins Marcus and Barrington were from a very wealthy family, and Storm’s parents were immigrants who worked hard for their money. Storm broke up their group by going off to become a DEA agent. Unfortunately before leaving Storm learns how the cousin’s family felt about her. Storm rushes off before the cousins can stand up for her honor. Fast forward four years, Storm is undercover with the DEA when she becomes a captive on a mission to bring down Colombian drug lords and goes desperately wrong. She endures torture that leaves her on the brink of death but she has her love for Marcus and Barrington that has helped to keep her alive. After being moved to another location Storm tries to map her escape but just hours after her arrival at her new location gun fire engulfs the silence of the evening. Once rescued by a fellow DEA agent Storm must heal from not only her wounds from the beating but being shot. Storm gets cleared to leave the hospital and all she can think about is Marcus and Barrington but she can’t bring herself to reach out to them. But the boys don’t take long to arrive at her parent’s house. Hoping to pick up right where they left off that night four years ago, the boys have big dreams for Storm. Only if Storm is willing to allow her desire to be fulfilled. I did not read the other books in this series but I will be reading the other books! I was hooked from the start and it was not what I was expecting. I thought it would follow Storm’s life in the DEA more. However, I loved every single page of this book!!

This was a great 5 star read. This author continues to pull me in with her books. This one certainly did not disappoint. If you like 2nd chance romance with some very steamy moments then you will enjoy this book and series. Storm, Barrington, and Marcus have a history. When it’s made very clear Storm isn’t good enough she takes off for a while, when she returns things change quickly. Barrington and Marcus don’t plan on losing her again. Overall I really enjoyed this book. All of the characters were great. We get several twists and turns that added a great element to the story. I can’t wait to read more from this author and series. You can read the books in the series as stand alones but I suggest reading from book one. 1-click and get started today.

Irresistible Bond is Book 5 of the Central Florida Stories series and wow….the roller coaster that this book took me on…edge of my seat. The emotional pull between Storm, Marcus and Barrington was truly undeniable….D/s/D, spicy, connection, danger, greed, drama….but the emotional toll that Storm went through as a DEA agent and the trauma… This story definitely has its triggers, but it was a great story.
Storm grew up knowing Marcus and Barrington and having a strong bond, they were inseparable. All grown up, Marcus and Barrington both desire to be with Storm. When passions arise, and broken by the Laurier family that do have a distaste for Storm….she ends up leaving for her DEA training and job leaving Marcus and Barrington hold on if she will come back. When Storm suffers the unimaginable during a mission, coming back has left her not only physical scars but emotional too. Who is there waiting for Storm…Marcus and Barrington. Their love for her never faltered even when she was gone. Their love for each other comes in full circle…as Marcus and Barrington also introduce her to a new world….but when the past comes back with a vengeance against Storm…will Marcus and Barrington with their protective team be able to keep Storm safe……

Irresistible Bond is the fifth book in the Central Florida Stories series by Victoria Saccenti. This is a contemporary romantic suspense with drama, action, angst, danger, emotion, chemistry, passion, opposites attract, a friends to lovers element, and more. There is an explicit erotic BDSM component to the story too, with D/s/D dynamics- so this is definitely for mature audiences only (18+). Even though this is the fifth book in the series, instalment book in the focuses on different MCs, so can be read as a standalone/s without feeling like you are missing anything important. As expected, Victoria Saccenti crafted her characters well- creating fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. The MC’s have their own challenges, adding angst, tension, and plenty of emotion to the whole story. Their shared history adds another layer to the story, while building depth and intrigue. Stir in all that simmering chemistry, mysteriousness, danger, and some intrigue – and the story takes an engrossing turn. Looking forward to more from Ms. Saccenti. Happy Reading!

Authors warning – Adults Only: Contains explicit D/s/D dynamics.

The vivid narrative draws you in to the is hot and sexy BDSM lifestyle that is deliciously dark and seductive. Irresistible Bond delivers action, suspense, drama, danger, tension, angst, emotions, BDSM, D/s/D, secrets, and pain but there is also so much pleasure. Welcome to a world of Submissives, Dominants, BDSM where your pleasure is the Elite’s pleasure.

This book is by an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by her. I enjoy her writing style and her ability to bring her character’s to life. She pulls you into the story with ease and keeps you turning pages to the end. This book is no different. It is a well written story about healing, second chances and the past comes to the present, pulling you back in. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. They are connectable, relatable and have great chemistry. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout which made the story easy to read and entertaining as well. A fast paced, hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

Hounded by ugly words like “commoner” and “gold digger”, Storm disappears into the secretive DEA without saying goodbye.
Her dream job turns into a nightmare when a mission to bring down Colombian drug lords goes desperately wrong.
For five years, Marcus and Barrington reluctantly gave Storm her space, cut family ties, and built a life at Club Nexus. When they get word Storm is home, they’re determined to finally claim the woman they love—and give her the safest place to heal her scarred body and mind. The arms of the Doms who love her.
But the horrors of the jungle have never quite let Storm go. And when evil reaches out like a clinging vine to drag her back into the nightmare, it could destroy her for good.

This is a wonderful book that focuses on Ross. Ross is hung up on Hadley, who he let go despite of being in love with her. When Hadley reaches out to Ross for help neither could anticipate what all is going to happen. This book is definitely dark and twisty, but every page leaves you wanting more. There is so much to this story from the more complicated topics to the chemistry that literally jumps off the page between Ross and Hadley. Both characters are fantastically well developed and really made me enjoy the story even more. I definitely recommend reading this story, but note that there are trigger warnings for drug abuse, sexual abuse and physical abuse.

Ross has his regrets in life his most potent is letting Hadley get on the back of his brother’s motorbike 4 years ago, at that time in his life he thought it was the best decision being in love with your brother’s girlfriend is not the done thing. Four years later, Hadley reaches out to him to recuse her daughter but can Ross shut off his feelings and leave her in her world of the devil or can he truly tell her the truth he wanted to say all those years ago.
The night Hadley jumped on Steve’s motor bike and left Ross and his mother was the hardest thing Hadley had ever done. Knowing deep down her heart was with Ross, she thought she could eventually love Steve. When Steve upgrades from petty theft to prospecting for an outlaw Motorcycle gang her world descended into the evil horrors. Her only salvation is getting her daughter out of this horrendous situation and her angel is Ross.
Ross arrives and sees the abuse that his brother has physically inflected on Hadley but not aware of the sexual abuse he decides to recuse both of them and hopefully he can follow his heart and hopefully ,make a home with Hadley and Lacey, the only thorn in the side is if his brother follows them and decides he wants her back but at the moment Ross would gladly teach his brother some manners.
I have read the other books in this series and this one does not disappoint. I love the forbidden love aspect between Ross and Hadley and it smoulders on the page, with his Alpha dominance which was there is part but his softness towards Hadley was lovely to read. My lord, I love the way Hadley was strong and still independent after what had happened to her and that she was not going to let it beat her which was brilliant to read.
This book does have triggers of Drug abuse, Sexual and Physical abuse but the way the author has written it adds a shock value and lets you know what has contributed to this strong female character and her journey but is not shocking enough for to you not read. As always the characters are well developed and enhances the story and can’t wait to read more.

This is the fourth book in the Central Florida Series and even though they can be read as standalone reads I feel one you’ve read one you will want to read then all. This author does an amazing job of opening the world of BDSM up to the reader in a way that goes deeper than just the sexual kinks. The author shows us the actual relationship side to these types of relationships and how loving and protecting they can be. This story is full of angst, danger, steamy chemistry and a connection to the dom/submissive relationship that can’t be denied. This is Ross and Hadley’s story.
To Ross, Hadley has always been the one who got away. Unable to deal with his feelings he enlisted to get away hoping the time apart would make his feelings less but on his return he finds her planning to go on the run with his brother. As much as he wants to stop her and protect her he knows he has no right to so he let’s her leave.
Fast forward and Ross is moving on but he has never forgotten her and often thinks about her. When Hadley gets in touch with a cry for help Ross knows that this time he will stop her from making a mistake and he will protect her from anything that threatens her.
Hadley has known nothing but pain since leaving all those years ago. Now she finds herself in a unsafe world of a Outlaw MC with her daughter. Knowing she needs to find a way to protect her she reaches out to the only person she knows she can trust. What she didn’t expect was that not only would Ross rescue her daughter but also her as well. Over the years though Hadley had built walls to protect herself and she isn’t so keen to tear them down. The girl Ross fell in love with no longer exists or so she thinks. As their relationship progresses and Ross’s protective, dominant Daddy side comes out will this be just the antidote that Hadley needs to recover and learn to love again. With the added danger of the people they escaped trying to find them will Hadley and her daughter ever be safe? And now that Ross finally has her how far will he go to protect the woman who has always held his heart. This book was a real page turner for me. I loved the characters and the way they complimented each other so well.

Hayden and Ross’s story is a great story. The DDLG dynamic isn’t my cup of tea, but I do know enough of the dynamic, to say that this was written wonderfully. Brought back into Ross’s life, he finds a letter from Hayden, begging for help. The last time he had seen Hyden was when she was driving away on the back of his littler brother’s bike. Finding out that his little brother was the reason why Hayden and her daughter in trouble boils Ross’s blood. He goes to rescue her and her daughter. But sometimes, the past doesn’t stay in the past. Recognizing that Hayley is a middle, his Daddy Dom kicks in and helps Hayley try to heal the trauma that was done to her. There are some TW’s so I suggest checking the author’s website to see if this is the book for you!

Although it was a bit slower at the beginning, it picked up quick about 25% through and I couldn’t put it down. I fell in love with Ross and Hadley’s characters right away. And enjoyed watching their dynamics/relationship progress throughout. I have yet to read the first 3 in this central Florida stories series but now plan to. (They can be read as standalone’s). Also, really loved that it wasn’t just “kink” but they did some education on subjects and explained things quite nicely and respectfully.
Definitely intended for more mature audiences(read the trigger warnings).

Ross met Hadley through his brother Steve. Steve and Hadley were dating but, Hadley really didn’t know any better. She came From a messed up family. All she really knew was Steve and his mother Abigail. Abigail always treated Hadley like her own daughter and they had a special bond. One crazy night, Ross is home from the service and Steve is out of control. He decides he’s leaving and takes Hadley with him. By going with him, her life changes for the worse for the next few years until she reaches out to Ross! Hadley is literally being tortured physically and sexually. Ross of course chooses to rescue her and be the hero. It was never a doubt. He always had feelings for her but she was much too young for him and aside from that, she was his brothers girl. Now, Nothing will stand in his way carrying out the request she writes in her letter accept there’s a tiny chance. Not only is he coming for Lacey but, he’s not leaving without Hadley. I really don’t understand how someone can go from that type of abuse to playing in that daddy dom / middle / little play. Just a bit strange. All In all I thought the book was pretty good.

This is the fourth book in the Central Florida Stories series. These books can be read as standalones, but I do recommend reading the entire series as there are characters which interconnect. The author was able to portray the emotions of the characters very well, to the point you can’t help but get emotionally invested in them. The trauma that Hadley has experienced (as an example) and how this has affected her, changed her and the danger she’s in tugs at your heartstrings, you want to jump in and take the pain away. The descriptive narrative paints vivid imagery that makes you feel you could step into the world alongside the characters and experience what they do. I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Hadley and Ross, the chemistry was evident, and the progression was believable. The character development was also enjoyable and believable. This is was enjoyable read and contains doms and subs and BDSM so if this is not for you be aware of this. I’m hoping for more soon!

This is one author I never hesitate to pick up a book from. Her work is always so well done and this book is no exception. For me, this was all about the characters and their connection. It was so strong and could be felt on each and every page. Although this is an intense story it is one that you can easily become invested in. This book is the fourth in the series, however it can be read as a standalone. My recommendation would definitely be to read them all as they are so good and it is worth the time investment. This book was a brilliant addition to the series and has just made me want to read more.

Ross had always loved Hadley, but worried he was no good for her. He was so concerned about protecting her from himself that first, he enlisted, and then, he watched her ride off on the back of his little brothers Harley. He never forgot her, though – and he never stopped pining for her.
Four years after watching her back disappear on that bike, he is surprised to get a letter from Hadley. She’s begging for his help to rescue her daughter from a MC gang that is dangerous, and Ross realizes as his protective instincts kick in that he plans to save them both.
Hadley has had many things happen to her in the past 4 years and has built nearly impenetrable walls to protect herself and her spirit – but she adores her daughter and would do anything to protect her. When she starts thinking of how to save her, she thinks of Ross and what a gentle giant and caretaker he always was.
After rescuing the woman he loves, he realizes it is going to take a lot of soothing, protecting, loving and supporting to get Hadley to open up to him and it’s just what his Daddy Dom heart desires. As he’s keeping her safe from those who mean to shut her up for good, will he help her heal her heart?

First, you can read this as a standalone novel, but you’re doing yourself a disservice to not go back and read the first entries by this author. Her writing style is enjoyable no matter the level of intensity throughout the story she is weaving.
Ethan is from a wealthy family who has mostly taken his own path, but it doesn’t make him any less rich and entitled than if he had stayed enmeshed with them. He has dominant desires and can generally pick his conquest that would be interested in what he offered from across the room. When he gets roped into attending a gala on behalf of his father, he spies someone from across the room who gets his attention immediately.
While she proves to not be the woman who was pursuing him for his abundance and hurt him in the past, she is her sister and looks startlingly like the one who damaged him. Siena sets off Ethan’s interests and ideas the minute he sees her, and he hatches a plan for revenge. When he begins sleuthing and finds she is in a dire situation that his money can help her out of, he approaches her in hopes of enjoying her and enjoying the revenge he gets, as well. What he never counted on was her becoming so much more than an act of revenge. Steamy scenes, enemies-to-lovers, maybe a smidge of this rich boy with a grudge ending up having a heart, after all.

Kurt used to spend a lot of time in his club, Club Nexxus. After serving in the military and coming home suffering from PTSD, he began to lose interest. But one day while checking in, he saw a face he never thought he’d see again – Arely, the little sister of his best childhood friend. He had heard the path his old friend had taken and couldn’t believe it. He was just surviving until he saw her again, especially when he learned she was working in his club to stay hidden from the cartel for her protection.
Arely was involved in human trafficking. The secrets she learned there can be very dangerous for the people running the ring, so once she got out she went into hiding. Bartending in a private club offers a lot of protection in the form of the company knowing everyone who comes in and out, security, and the dim bar makes her feel protected, as well. When she sees Kurt there one day, she can’t believe she is seeing him again. When she is located at Club Nexxus, will she survive? Will she ask for help? Will Kurt help her?
Steamy read, wonderful character building, great chemistry. This is a standalone but the enjoyable writing shines through.

Ross returns from an enlistment in the Marine Corps to his brother running from the law and taking his girlfriend with him…the girlfriend that Ross enlisted to get away from.
Fast forward some years and the story begins…Ross and Hadley meet again under bad circumstances and feelings are shared. Lives have grown while they were apart. There is a touch of kink play in the book but not the 50 shades kind.
It was a good story with a good plot. I enjoyed it. I was intrigued by the mention of his boss’ story so I might go back and read that one.
