About this ebook

The tie that binds them together may tear them apart...

College senior Kate Camden has learned to adapt - to her last year of school, to the promise of motherhood, to the fact that she’s doing it all alone. But just when she’s learned to adjust, heartache threatens to break her apart.

Pro hockey player Jason “Ryke” Ryker has it all: adoring fans, a promising career, and a beautiful wife. But when his seemingly perfect life is shaken by tragedy, he’s left questioning whether having it all is ever more than an illusion.

When circumstance brings Kate and Ryke together, they discover they don’t have to hurt alone. Bound by a grief that haunts them both, they must rely on one another to survive heartbreak. But that grief is more powerful than they realize, and the tie that binds them together may ultimately tear them apart.

Bound is the first book in the 5-book hockey romance Fire on Ice series. It's perfect for fans of Sawyer Bennett, Toni Aleo, Kelly Jamieson and Sarina Bowen.

What reviewers are saying:

"I've been looking for a 5 star book for awhile now and all I can say is that this book will completely captivate you from the first page. By the end of the first chapter I was emotionally invested in both of the main characters."

"I absolutely loved Kate and Ryke. They are amazing and so was this book."

"I’m glad this book was recommended to me. This was a beautiful, sweet, emotional, and enjoyable story."

"One hell of a wicked start...I’m definitely gong to check out the next in the series."

I very much enjoyed Ryke's point-of-view, but Kate was very frustrating and childish. It was like reading about a grown man falling in love with a petulant, self-centered teenager. Even with such a sad and relatable backstory, Kate's manipulating behavior, tantrums, and immaturity made sympathizing with her virtually impossible. Ryke didn't deserve to go from one emotional manipulator to another.

5 star Review Bound (Fire on Ice #1) by Brenda Rothert This was my first read from Brenda Rothert and what an emotional roller coaster of a read did I chose to start with. It was heartbreaking, sad, uplifting and hopeful all at the same time. Simply put I was on the edge of my seat throughout my read of this book. Bound got to me on so many levels emotionally, I still feel as though I am reeling at times. The chemistry between Kate and Jason aka Ryke was exceptional. This book was all about finding yourself after tragedy, of learning to trust and believe in love and having the courage to take that leap of faith back into life. Bound is a beautifully written story with characters that were easy to relate too. I fell in love with Kate and Ryke, they touched my heart and gave me hope that their future would be better than their past as they came together and found love. I want a Ryke in my life! I am both excited and nervous for the next book in this series.

Hard time getting into. I have a hard time understanding how a girl could be so pissed off at a guy after only being with him for 2 weeks and him freaking out about a pregnancy. Very lame character.
