The Words to Bind (The Playgrounds Book 1) Kindle Edition

by P. Stormcrow (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 33 ratings

FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR P. STORMCROW

Book one in The Playgrounds series

It all started with a munch, a meetup for the kink-minded. How was Luna supposed to know that it would change her life forever?

A munch.

A play party.

A Dom that sets her passion aflame.

After a string of failed vanilla relationships leaves her feeling unfilled, Luna Weir decides to give the fetish scene one last shot. But with her one and only experience as a submissive leaving much to be desired, she has little hope that the lifestyle is her answer. So when she gives the local scene one final try in the form of a casual meetup for the kink-minded, the last thing she expects is to be pulled back into the world of ropes and commands.

But that is precisely where she meets Jacob Dakota—Mr. Tall, Dark and entirely Dominant. The experienced Dom commands respect from other Dominants and desire from the subs in the community who frequent The Playgrounds, a local fetish club. And when Jacob takes her under his wing, Luna senses he wants something more beyond the careful words and veiled glances.

Now she must figure out whether her feelings for Jacob are enough for her to take a leap of faith and relinquish control. Because a simple yes will bind her to him, heart and soul.

About the Author

P. Stormcrow has always been an avid reader across the fantasy and sci fi genres but early on, found herself always looking for the love story in each book. Coming to terms with her love for love later in life, she now writes steamy romances that examine social norms and challenge conventional tropes of the genre, usually on her phone. And yes, she has walked into walls and poles doing so. When she's not reading or writing (or even when she is), she enjoys copious amounts of tea, way too much sugary treats, one too many sci fi / fantasy / paranormal TV shows (team Dean all the way) and every otome game she can possibly find.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

P. Stormcrow grew up with a love for love and somehow that turned into authoring contemporary and paranormal BDSM romances. Fierce women and sensitive men fill her stories while she examines social norms and challenges conventional tropes of the genre through her craft. She is the recipient of the 2021 inaugural Good Sex Awards in the category of Erotic Touch. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Canada, she enjoys writing about both cultures.

In addition to being an author, she is also a techie, a graphic designer, a mother, a lover, a fighter and a little bit of everything else in between. When she's not typing away madly on her phone and running into poles, she enjoys copious amounts of tea, way too many sugary treats and as many sci-fi / fantasy / paranormal TV shows as she can sneak in time to watch.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A down-to-earth look at erotic romance in the BDSM world
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020

    I admit stories with romance-erotic romance especially-is fairly new territory to me. And the Bondage/Discipline/Sadism/Masochism (BDSM) field is also new territory to me. Despite this, I enjoyed P. Stormcrow's The Words to Bind quite a bit, especially enough to check out the rest of her bibliography. It is a tale of a young woman trying to understand herself and getting comfortable with her sexuality and a man who desires to guide her on her journey. It is also a book that gives the reader a glimpse of the BDSM world with regular people in it to boot.

    Luna Weir joins up with The Playgrounds, a BDSM club where people are free to express their kinks and true personalities. She meets with Jacob, an experienced dom (Dominant in BDSM speak) who is taken by her at first sight and desires to train her for her submissive qualities and to embrace her sexuality. But don't think it is a boy-meets-girl narrative; the book serves as something of a slice-of-life tale of Luna as she navigates friendship in the BDSM circle. The book also deals with Luna having to keep her lifestyle a secret, especially away from people outside the circle (Without mentioning E.L. James' poorly written trash elephant in the room, she also battles stereotypes pertaining to BDSM too).

    Stormcrow's dialogue and prose is sharp to make drama and some funny awkward moments for characters work, as Luna and many of the other characters are very relatable and easy to care for. No stupid melodrama, no contrived romantic conflict; TWtB deals with the reality of living in the BDSM world and also being educational regarding elements of consent and aftercare.

    And of course, there is sex in the book, and it is pretty steamy in the best way possible without being over the top. Stormcrow builds up sexual tension that makes the reader crave the sexual tension until it finally culminates in a satisfying climax (No pun intended) and especially helps paint the erotic dynamic between Luna and Jacob to where you want these two to be closer the more you get into the book.

    Overall, if you are looking for a good erotic romance novel that's a good jumping on point for the genre, TWtB is a great start. It is a down-to-earth look at BDSM and a solid romantic tale with erotic elements overall.

    I'm an avid reader of BDSM/ Dominant/Submissive Novels. I loved this amazing story from the beginning.Luna a submissive and Jacob a Dominant, this is their story. Can two people find love and fulfillment in each other? Will she open her heart and find the one Dominant who can complete her? I love the chemistry between Luna and Jacob. You will love all of the other characters, who will make you laugh, cry and just want to be friends with. The title says everything. The Eords To Bind is sexy, mesmerizing, touching and you will not be able to put it down. This is the second book of P. Stormcrow that I have read. I cannot say enough about her writing, and can't wait for book 2 of The Playgrounds. A must, must, must, captivating and breathtaking read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sensuality At Its Best.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022

    Let me first off by saying my review is solely based on my own thoughts as a reader and not that of a professional.

    To be honest, the best way to describe The Words To Bind is vanilla sweet, and my official rating is a 3.5/5 but it has enough content and a steady pace to round it to a 4. Even at the very end I was still waiting for the EROTICA/DOM/SUB. Sure, I wouldn't say Luna and Jacob were having regular intimacy but compared to what knowledge I know and based on novels in the genre the elements I mentioned were severely lacking then again I'm no professional but yeah, it fell short of the kink and hype I expected in the bedroom and the playground so to speak but that's just my personal preference.

    Speaking of which, for a Dom I needed Jacob to be a tad more manly and aggressive, I love him but at times I wished he would talk dirty and let me blush just from reading. As for Luna, she was too meek for my liking and not that of the fierce woman she should've been, again that's just me. Another peeve, more action, and sexy and less info-dumping, nothing but a distraction for me.

    Regardless of my peeves, the story has a sweet taste to it and some moments live rent-free in my memory such as: “August had never visited her apartment. Why had she never invited him over? Cooked him a nice meal to show her appreciation? Maybe she’d thought there was time. There wasn’t.”

    I felt that and that's also one of the things I liked about this story, its sensuality.

    Overall, The Words To Bind has good storytelling, the title fitting the story, and a decent pace, and nevertheless, I would recommend it to anyone who loves a fluffy romance.

    This is my first book by P. Stormcrow! I was surprised that I found this book exhilarating and the storyline was easy to follow. This story walks you through a Dom taking on a Sub. It is NOT your normal BDSM. I enjoyed learning about BDSM without all the details involved. This is the first book that made me cry. I love the "family" with all the Doms and Subs. They are a tight bunch of friends that makes your heart soar!! When tragedy hits; your heart breaks. This is a great story about Jacob and Luna.

    This story is about Luna’s journey of finding herself, while looking to explore the bdsm lifestyle. While on this journey of self discovery, she makes friends, who soon become more like family. This story is beautifully written and will leave you with all the emotions, from laughter to tears. I highly recommend this as a must read, and cannot wait for the next book in the series.

    I love the story and the way Pixie Stormcrow, once again, dragged me into her story and held my attention from beginning to end. I love the way Pixie writes because she carries the emotion along with the physical. The two come inseparable in the tales spun by Ms. Stormcrow. I highly recommend her to everyone.
