Bound By Her Ring

As the title says he is bound to her by her ring and as the book unfolded I not only learned the significance of the ring but also that without the ring more than just a marriage is lost.<br /><br />The book was in short about Jasmine who finds herself with amnesia after surviving a nasty car accident, the only link she has to the last few months of her life before the accident is a set of gorgeously crafted rings on her left hand, and more questions than answers of who the man is she called her husband. <br /><br />While attending a party one evening she comes face to face with the man who placed those rings there and suddenly her memory starts returning in flashbacks and it seems that Luciano is the key to her unlocking her full past. Now as much as she is set on regaining her memory Luciano has other plans of the more life destroying kind, he wants revenge and when he finally gets it, he will walk away leaving her as empty as she did him all those months ago.<br /><br />The main characters of the book were well written and both had their own uniqueness, Jasmine being the woman who finally learns to stand up for herself and Luciano finally learning that control is not always the best option. I also really loved the different kind of person Luciano is every now and then , going from strong and commanding to passionate and caring, that kept me entertained. I particularly loved the manner the author used to layer back their secrets for me as reader. She kept me guessing all the way to the end as to just what really happened to tear these two apart when they clearly loved each other so much. <br /><br />I was transported back between happier times for the couple and the here and now in fluent motion, which was important as when a book goes from past to future in a non flowing motion it lets me loose interest, as if I want to tell the author " Are you trying to make this as uninteresting as possible", however this author met my expectations and bounced from memory to current situations effortlessly.<br /><br />The backdrop of Broome was perfect as it not only kept me at a relaxed page while reading with the vivid descriptions the author used to describe the island and it's tranquillity, but it also mixed in beautifully with the turmoiled emotions that both characters were going through and therefore the calm vs the storm was beautifully combined. <br /><br />The dialogue was in tune with the story, going from a flirty to emotional and then from secretive to soul baring. And at the end of the day I can honestly say I enjoyed this read very much. It was heated romance combined with cold hearted revenge being brought to a explosive bang by a onslaught of memories and a punchline that left me with sadness and sorrow but also understanding and a large dose of happiness for the characters.<br /><br />If your thinking that these two effortlessly and oh so smoothly fall back into bed together after being separated you would be wrong as the author put a lot more effort into it and surely but slowly lets the secrets, memories and love unfold unlike some books that deal with amnesia and lovers, they go from not remembering to jumping into bed and then going "Well that's OK I will remember later". This author took her time but not a dragging manner, as I said before I was kept on my toes and really entertained and intrigued at all time. <br /><br />The title of the book was incorporated into book with absolutely stunning exquisiteness, which I found simply awesome!<br /><br />Excellent work Nicole, keep them coming!<br />5/5 star review <br /><br />"Banishing the past one sensual, sweet, earth shattering kiss at a time"<br />

This is a classic reunion story with an Italian alpha male and the woman he believes betrayed him. Jasmine has been lost for months, amnesia after a car accident wiping her memory of the previous months.<br /><br />When Luciano returns to wield the power of his billion dollar corporation to take control, she doesn't quite know what to think of this aggressive stranger.<br /><br />Forced into his company, the physical attraction she feels undermines her determination to resist his domination. As they get to know each other again, everything begins to change.<br /><br />The story started a little slow for me, the heroine not quite adding up considering her amnesia, her previous relationship with her controlling father and the ambivalence of her feelings towards Luciano.<br /><br />Once it got into it's stride however, it totally enthralled me. The hero and heroine are well matched and engaging and the story had the prerequisite moment that got the tear ducts active.<br /><br />Altogether an enjoyable, stress free read with a very satisfying ending.

Full review in my vlog on Saturday :)<br /><br />Oh *sigh* Bound By Her Ring is everything I love about a Harlequin novel. It's deeply romantic. There's drama and heat and heart. The hero and heroine are well drawn and I cared about them so much my heart was tight for part of the story, grieving for the pain Lukas and Jasmine were going through. <br /><br />I loved seeing them open their hearts up to possibilities and rediscover their love. <br />I recommend you pick up Bound By Her Ring if you want to be swept off your feet into beautiful story of lovers reconnected. <br />

I purchased this book after seeing Desere's review and I am glad I did.<br /><br />Luciano is ready to deal Revenge on his estranged wife for doing the unthinkable. The only problem is she has no idea who he is. A few months before the party where Luciano comes face to face with his wife Jasmine. She leaves him to travel to see her father. After leaving she has an accident and loses her memory. She has no memory of going to see her father or her husband. She was given her rings when she was leaving the hospital and feels as though a missing part has been put back into place when she sides them back on, but she still cannot remember her husband.<br /><br />At the party she sees Luciano across the room and can't take her eyes off on him. When he first confronts her and she tells him she doesn't know him he believes she is faking it. He tells her she will travel with him or he will ruin her father, and she believes him. He also tells her they will be sharing a bed. The night she meets him she has a flash of memory. She leaves with him to travel to Broome. Soon passion takes over. It feels right being in his arms. And the more time they spend together the more memories return.<br /><br />The author writes a really good novel about a love that is strong. And things that happened after the accident to cause a riff between the two. When Jasmine finally gets her full memory back, it is just heartbreaking. I was worried what was going to happen to her. Hated that Jasmine was alone when this happened.The betrayal, the lost, the trust of a love one. WOW. Really good story and was without a doubt worth the .99 cent cost.

BOUND BY HER RING by author Nicole Flockton was a February 2013 release from Escape Publisher, a division of Harlequin Enterprises, Australia.<br /><br />This story had all the important elements consisting of amnesia, reunion and a big dollop of revenge adding to the tension. The sensuality in the love scenes were sizzling.<br /><br />Readers get a fantabulous romance story with an alpha hero and a strong, fiesty heroine in a full length novel for less than what novels cost!<br /><br />Highly recommended and well worth reading.

"Bound by Her Ring" unwound so well. Jasmine is a lovely heroine -- vulnerable but growing into her strength. Luc is alpha-yummy. Together, they're electric. <br /><br />This was a fab romantic read. Other reviewers have mentioned Broome. Let me echo them. That most romantic setting is beautifully woven into Jasmine and Luc's relationship journey.<br /><br />A pearl of a book!

Bound By Her Ring by Nicole Flockton is my kind of book! <br /><br />Jasmine is recovering from amnesia when she's confronted by Luciano who claims to be her husband. She doesn't remember Luciano but has memories of a "Lukas". Jasmine feels like she's being slowly woken from her internal nightmares when she's with Lukas. Memories start returning and nothing makes sense; she feels longing for Lukas but has a complete mind blank as to how and why. Her memory is patchy but small things trigger recollections. Each flashback not only fanned the flames but keep the questions coming, some of which Lukas refuses to answer. Jasmine is determined to find out her history and is frustrated when Lukas or her father won't assist in recovering her memories.<br /><br />Lukas is driven by revenge and deep hurt when he reappears in Jasmines life. H blackmails Jasmine to accompany him on a business trip. He wants to lash out at the world for past hurts which are fed to the reader drop by glorious drop but his overall qualities shine thru. Things don't go to plan when Lukas quickly realises he physically feels the same way about Jasmine as he did prior to her accident which in turn makes him question how he feels inside. The new Jasmine is an enigma to Lukas; things just don't add up. After spending time together it's hard for Lukas to remember his desire for revenge. He clearly loves Jasmine and knows he's in trouble when reaches the conclusion he wants to protect Jasmine and not let her find out her past actions.<br /><br />I adored Bound By Her Ring because I love second chance stories. I enjoyed the passionate and emotional ride I was taken on with Lukas and Jasmine. Their love for each other shone thru. The memory sequences are first-class. As each piece of the puzzle clicked into place I could understand Lukas's feelings and my heart just dropped when Jasmine recovered her full memory. I want to start over and read the book again... not later, now!<br /><br />I impatiently wait for Nicole Flockton's 3rd book!<br />

Jasmine Anderson has no memories of her husband or anything that has occurred in the months prior to her car accident. She is suffering from amnesia and her only clues are the stunning engagement and wedding ring set she wears, even though she cannot remember the man who put them there. All she knows is he hasn’t been around since her accident. There has been no sign of him – until he erupts into her life at a function and demands she accompany him on a business trip or he will financially ruin her father.<br /><br />Luciano Morelli is looking for revenge on the wife that not only ran away, but did something unspeakable. He’s not buying the amnesia storyline either and hes determined to crack the marvellous display of acting skills that Jasmine is treating him to. He knows she has no choice but to accompany him and he’s going to use that to get to the bottom of what she did.<br /><br />But neither Luciano or Jasmine are prepared for the passion that still exists between them. It makes it very hard for Luciano to keep his goal for revenge in his mind and it makes it hard for Jasmine to hate the man who is using his financial position to coax her into doing what he wants. There’s no denying the way she feels when she’s with him and the fact that he’s making little snippets of information return to her. The more time she spends with him, the more she believes that she’ll be able to fully regain the missing pieces of her memory. If they can get past the shattered trust, they might be able to find the happiness that led them down the aisle in the first place.<br /><br />I love amnesia stories! They cop a lot of flack but they’ve always been a favourite of mine when they’re done well. I’m always drawn to buying an amnesia story and I was looking forward to this one.<br /><br />Jasmine was in a car accident and she has no memory of ever marrying or her husband. All she has are her two rings which keep her anchored. She knows that they feel right when she puts them on, but she doesn’t remember anything about how they got there. When she is accosted by Luciano, who informs her that he is her husband, she somewhat refuses to believe him. Luciano refuses to believe that she has amnesia so the two of them are at odds. Luciano is determined to punish Jasmine for a cruel act she believes she commited – Jasmine has no recollection of ever meeting him, so she has no idea what motivates his behaviour. Luciano thinks that Jasmine is acting to get out of having to face him for what she did – he’s furious with her and he’s high handed and bossy and manipulative. He demands she go with him on a business trip that turns out to be mostly pleasure. Jasmine begins to feel that Luciano is the key to her memory returning – when she’s with him she has flashes, she thinks without speaking and things come to her. The link between them is so powerful she cannot deny it, despite the fact that she has disliked his high handed attitude.<br /><br />Luciano is perhaps a bit too Alpha for me, there were times when I wanted to reach into my kindle and give him a good slap. But I do like the way that he was portrayed as struggling between a desire for revenge over something that had so wounded him, but also still drawn to Jasmine and the way that their marriage had been before the accident. Although he pushes her, infuriates her, he never actually uses what happened against her. He doesn’t believe her amnesia to be real at first, so I’m surprised he never actually came outright and played his hand. But when he does become convinced, he leaves her to piece together things herself, finally getting to the crux of the horrible event that caused her to suppress all her memories of Luciano. Despite my frustration with Luciano, I appreciated the fact that he never went too below the belt in his attempts for revenge, or understanding. I am however, surprised that he didn’t figure out what had happened a little earlier, given the fact that he’s a smart guy and he already knew several key pieces to help him put things together.<br /><br />I do think that Jasmine was a very forgiving character – she was very easily persuaded/manipulated by Luciano more than once and she was able to forgive him for all he said and did and she was able to forgive a character who wronged her beyond belief later on in the novel. I would’ve liked to see her stand up for herself a little more and assert herself, especially towards the end of the book. It felt a bit rushed and like it was glossed over quite quickly.<br /><br />I think people like romance novels with dominant, take charge heroes will like this one. But if you find yourself getting mad at characters who are too arrogant and domineering, or heroines who are too doormattish then this one might not be the best choice. There’s no room for sensitive new age guys with Luciano.
