Bound By Honor: Men of Honor Book 1: Men of Honor series Kindle Edition

by SE Jakes (Author), Stephanie Tyler (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 695 ratings
A promise forces two men to bare themselves…completely.

One year ago on a mission gone wrong, Tanner James failed to save the life of Jesse, his Army Ranger teammate. Before dying in that South American jungle, Jesse extracted a promise that won’t let Tanner rest until it’s fulfilled—no matter what it costs him.

Damon Price loved Jesse, but problems in their relationship had come to a head right before Jesse left on his final mission. Now a reluctant Dom and a man still in mourning, he’s not happy when Tanner appears at his BDSM club. And even less happy with Jesse’s last request—that Tanner sub for him for one night.

After a rough start, Damon realizes that the tough soldier, despite his protests, aches for someone to take control. And Tanner senses a hesitance, an insecurity in Damon that makes him wonder if he’s simply a placeholder for Jesse, or if their tentative connection could grow into something more.

For Jesse’s sake, they agree to try one weekend together. Then duty calls, and a series of attacks that have been happening near the club hits too close to home, making both men wonder if giving their hearts is a maneuver fraught with too much risk…

**This is a reissue of a previously published work.

    My Review:
    This is a powerful book. It's incredibly sexy. It's incredibly emotional. It features two incredible alpha heroes that you can't help but to fall in love with. From page one this book propels you into this erotic BDSM story and it doesn't stop until the very end.

    Tanner is bi-sexual, but something about his sex life is lacking. He's not finding fulfillment and as his military life becomes more and more dangerous, so do his sexual experiments....just trying to find that ultimate release. A year ago, he was on a mission with his friend Jesse. Jesse was hit and bled out slowly in the ten hours it took for a rescue to come for them. In that time when he was dying, Jesse extracted a promise from Tanner. A promise that a year after his death, Tanner would go to Jesse's partner, Damon, and have him Dom for Tanner. Tanner has never been a sub, but he wants to fulfill Jesse's dying wish, so on the anniversary of Jesse's death, Tanner goes to the club that Damon owns to tell him what Jesse wants.

    Damon is still grieving for Jesse and does not react well to Tanner's information. In fact, he reacts really horribly and puts Tanner in an awful position which sends Tanner into an even worse downward spiral sexually. Damon is dealing with his own demons. Demons that have to deal with his relationship with Jesse and demons that go even further back than that. He doesn't realize that Tanner is exactly what he needs, but Jesse recognized it.

    Everything that you see in the description above. It's all there and it makes for an incredible book. There is grief. Their is guilt. There is some amazingly HOT alpha sex! The two heroes in this book are amazingly well-written. There is a lot of depth to both of them, as they deal with issues that are not easy. There are some incredible moments of vulnerability for both of these guys in this book which are just so incredibly beautiful!

    I loved this book. It was everything I hoped for and so much more. Just an incredibly erotic read, but also an incredibly beautiful love story.

    Why does anyone have to be only one way, only one personality trait? I guess people can change, but only if they want it. This is a story about men. There are a large cast of characters in this story and it makes for a deep and interesting story about healing and falling in love. I doubt that the two things go together, because healing is best done without taking or making any life changing decisions as we're not at our best when we've been damaged (emotionally, physically or both). Tanner and Damon are brought together unwillingly by a mutual friend's death. What they make of their friendship or relationship becomes their own choice. There is a lot of secrets and BDSM, which I usually avoid in literature but this was well written and let me understand the motivations of the people that follow that way of life.
    I witnessed a lot of things as a child that I shouldn't have, I suppose most children do too, but these were particularly damaged people. Be warned. There is a lot of hot sexy M/M action and discussion about past rape and violence. There are lots of military men in this story to make it spicy hot.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply emotional, intense BDSM romance !
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Here we have the deeply intense book #1 in SE Jakes "Men of Honor" series.
    Army Ranger Tanner, 6'3", blonde, blue eyes, and tough as nails. Damon, 6'5", black haired and dressed in leather, ex Delta Force co-owns a BDSM Club. He's mourning the loss of his partner, Jesse, who served with Tanner, who held Jesse when he died.
    Tanner has a message for Damon from Jesse; and a promise to the dying man. Tanner shows up to deliver the message and Damon is hurt and angry. (Let me tell you now, this story has BDSM, some humiliation and graphic details of previous abuse.)
    Later when Tanner is drugged and bound by two men, Damon rescues him. With Damon's strength and understanding, Tanner finds the help he truly needed. Meanwhile Damon's business partner, JC, has kept secret, the violent attacks and rapes happening outside the Club. There are clues that point to their past. So, we have that mystery to solve and our MCs have conversations to deal with their relationship. Lots of dirty talk, and actions, hot erotic sex with spanking and bondage. There is also much emotion, with care and comfort.
    They have deep thoughts and twisting feelings, and must reveal their pasts to heal. This is an intense tale of healing one's inner wounds to be able to find peace. It's so well written, interesting, sexual and action packed.
    Highly recommended. ENJOY !

    長編で、同じような心理描写が何度も出て来たりして、少し荒削りな印象が残る作品ですがおすすめです。主人公が軍人で、出てくるキャラクターに軍関係者とか元軍人が多いです。つまり男らしい強い男たちがいっぱい。SM要素もポイントですが、基本的には主人公の初恋ラブロマンスの展開になってます。軍人萌えなら、是非一度読んでみて下さい。

    I had only read a bit to come to terms with the writing style. In part, it was a little confusing. Styx and LC and like all belong together in the story was evident only at the back end. But the story between Damon and Tanner was very nice to read and I have taken both to my heart :)

    Reviewed in Canada on January 23, 2019

    I loved this book, I got all the feels.
    When Tanner first met Damon I could see in my mind the tension, the pride, the promise he made to his Ranger teammate Jesse who was Damon's submissive that he didn't want to be there. And that night started something both men couldn't imagine would change their lives.

    Tanner has been blaming himself for failing to save Jesse, and Damon loved Jesse but their relationship wasn't perfect and they had an argument before he went on a mission.

    I loved how this wasn't a sweet romantic kinda story. Tanner and Damon were dealing with things beyond Jesse and when they actually started getting along things started going wrong at Damon's club.

    I read this book awhile ago and I can still remember the story, it sticks with you. It's like a heartbeat, you can hear it sometimes. I think of this book sometimes just like a heartbeat.

    These were tough men, and I loved the side characters especially Law...im excited to read his story next!
