7 Books Like Bonds of the Wolf

Set in the Scottish Highlands, A Flower for Angus follows Poppy Condoloro, who, fleeing a troubled past, assumes a new identity at the secluded Heaven’s Gate estate. There, she meets Angus Sangster, the estate’s station manager, whose protective nature and firm beliefs challenge her guarded heart.

Poppy’s journey from fear to trust is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Angus, with his unwavering principles, emerges as a hero who is both relatable and admirable. The chemistry between them is palpable, making their evolving relationship a joy to witness.

For those who appreciate romantic suspense with depth, humor, and authenticity, “A Flower for Angus” is a must-read.

In The Nightmare in Him, Suzanne Wright continues to unravel the captivating, shadowy world of immortals with a perfect mix of passion, danger, and raw emotion. Wynter and Cain’s bond is as intense as ever, tangled in secrets and a past that haunts them both. The chemistry between them is electric, but what stands out even more is their loyalty and strength in the face of darkness.

Wright’s writing pulled me in, not just with steamy scenes but with the depth of her characters and the constant push and pull between love and survival. Wynter’s resilience and Cain’s protectiveness hit all the right notes, especially as the stakes keep rising with unexpected threats and a power struggle that could tear everything apart. And why is Wynter so drawn to Cain’s Garden?

If you’re a fan of fantasy romance with a dash of the forbidden and a storyline that doesn’t shy… show more.

Cherise Sinclair is my number one BDSM Romance author. The reason I love her books is their great storylines, relatable characters, and realistic but steamy sex, and BDSM scenes. To Command and Collar is book five in Master of the Shadowlands. Although I would advise to start reading the series from book one (Club Shadowlands), I chose book five because it is my favorite. I love Raoul and Kim and their hard-won journey to happiness.

I adore the extended Masters and Mercenaries family, and Ian Taggart’s cynical wisecracks keep doubling me over in laughter. And laughter is so important. Life is serious and can be hard, I love it when a book takes me away for a while and make me feel. Lexi Blake’s books, especially for her Masters and Mercenaries series, make me feel a lot!

Again, this is book five in a series, you will want to read in order. However, since this is Ian’s and Charlotte’s story this is my pick as favorite!

Not only is Maren Smith a great person, a quirky ‘little’ with a fondness for dinos, but also, she’s a tireless mentor and advocate for the authors in the BDSM Romance genre. I’m profoundly grateful she took me under her wings at the start of my writing career and to be part of her Red Hot Romance family today. 

While it is incredibly hard to pick just one book from her entire list, Sadie’s Little Christmas is my favorite because it shows a power exchange relationship in all its glory. Seeing Sadie blossom under Derek’s supervision is a treat. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

This book both thrilled and shocked me with its twists and turns. Between the steamy scenes and the harrowing escape from a dangerous stalker, there was never a moment of boredom in this book.

The tentative but deep bond between the main characters made me want to root for them despite lies and betrayal.

Although this book starts out without safe words or careful negotiations, I still recommend all of Joey W. Hill’s work and the Knights of the Board Room series as BDSM Romance. Sometimes, a Dom must dig deep to give a submissive what she needs, and this is what Matt Kensington does in Board Resolution. Savannah is trained to shield herself and I think Matt’s crazy plan is the only way through the tough outer shell and into the soft and loving woman she is. Piece by piece —with help from his team— he breaks her down, only to let her rise like a Phoenix from her ashes. Beautiful story.
