Description
There is nothing more dangerous than a man with money and sex appeal. Mason Campbell had an infinite supply of both. As one of the most powerful men in England, despite being utterly ruthless, he is envied by men and wanted by women alike.
Lauren Hart has just landed a job as his assistant and is constantly on the receiving end of his tantrums, hatred, and arrogance. Life would be better if she was not working for the tyrant—better for her, at least. Unfortunately, Mason does not have eyes for anyone but Lauren, and is about to make her an offer she cannot refuse.

Fearlessly Bound is a captivating and brilliantly written novel by Zainab Sambo. It’s a refreshing mix of romance, drama and suspense that keeps you hooked from the very first page. The main characters, Mason and Lauren, are well-crafted and their dynamic relationship will leave you breathless.
Mason Campbell is not your typical hero. He’s ruthless, cold-hearted and takes no prisoners. But when he meets Lauren, a feisty and outspoken woman, he finds himself drawn to her in a way he never thought possible. As their paths cross, they strike a deal that will change both of their lives forever. Lauren needs Mason’s help to save her father’s life, and in return, she agrees to marry him for a year.
The chemistry between Mason and Lauren is off the charts, and their banter is entertaining and often humorous. Although they come from different worlds and have their own issues to deal with, their attraction to each other is undeniable. As they try to navigate their unconventional marriage, they find themselves falling for each other. But as their feelings grow stronger, a shocking truth is revealed that threatens to tear them apart.
The way Sambo develops the characters and their relationship is masterful. Mason’s transformation from a heartless businessman to a caring and protective husband is heartwarming to see. Lauren is a strong and independent woman who stands her ground and challenges Mason in ways he never thought possible. Together, they make a formidable couple, and you can’t help but root for their love to conquer all.
The plot is well-paced, and the twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Sambo throws a curveball that leaves you shocked and wanting more. The writing is flawless, and the dialogue is witty and engaging. The ending is satisfying and sets the stage for the next book in the series.
In conclusion, Fearlessly Bound is a must-read for anyone who loves a steamy romance with a touch of suspense. Zainab Sambo’s writing is fresh, unique, and will keep you glued to the pages until the very end. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see what Sambo has in store for us in the next installment of the Mason Series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for an advance e-copy of Fearlessly Bound, in exchange of an honest review.
Mason Campbell, a figure of authority and influence in England, possesses an endless reserve of both resources and charisma. Despite his reputation for unyielding ruthlessness, he commands the envy of men and the desires of women with equal fervor. Enter Lauren Hart, a newly appointed assistant thrust into the tumultuous orbit of Mason Campbell. Tasked with navigating his explosive temper, disdain, and overbearing ego, Lauren finds herself treading on thin ice in her professional relationship with the formidable tycoon. While she yearns for an escape from the clutches of her tyrannical employer, fate has other plans in store for her. Unbeknownst to Lauren, Mason's icy exterior conceals a fiery passion directed solely towards her. As their professional dynamic teeters on the edge of chaos, Mason is poised to unveil an irresistible proposition that will alter the course of their intertwined destinies forever. Within the pages of this riveting tale lies a narrative brimming with intrigue, suspense, and unbridled desire. While the plot unfolds at a breakneck pace, weaving a tapestry of unforeseen twists and mounting tensions, certain segments may leave readers grappling with moments of confusion and a sense of hurried pacing. Nonetheless, the electrifying allure of the story's premise ensures an engaging read that captures the essence of a gripping tale of power, passion, and the perilous dance between ambition and allure. This was a solid 4.0 Star rating read for me!
Hold onto your seats! This is a absolutely emotionally charged, marathon of a book that keeps up the tempo and the events till the very last page, wringing out the emotion and passion. The prologue is almost too gentle for the book, a middle of the night wake up and then a new job and boss. From the second that the plot absorbs the prologue the foot is down to the metal and the story races along.
The emotions are full and both lead characters are fully invested with the wounds and wants and needs very clearly exposed. The relationship is a fascinating one and into this is woven business, ailing parents, a cruel and mad ex alongside underhand mafioso like business dealings,
The pace of the book is great Andi was very much pulled along always looking out for what might come, or the next twist. The book is a very long one, and I got a little exhausted in the last quarter, as the punch’es are still not being pulled and there is still so much going on, nothing is simple, there is treachery everywhere and the action is hard and brutal.
The book deserves the four out of five for the addictive qualities, I just needed a rest to be able to finish it!
A big thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I believe this is part of a series. What a crazy, wild read! Lots and lots of twists and turns. Super unexpected but I truly enjoyed it! 4 stars
*I did receive this book from NetGalley*
This is the story of Mason and Lauren. Lauren is in need of a job to pay her father's medical bills and she literally runs into Mason who offers her a job. Mason is a cold, ruthless, billionaire who is the CEO of his company and hires Lauren to be his assistant. Soon, Mason asks Lauren to agree to be in a fake marriage with him. He will get his grandfather's inheritance and she will get her father's medical bills paid for. As they grow closer and closer as a married couple, many things try to push them apart. They must overcome jealousy in the family, threats, death, and kidnapping to test the true powers of their love.
I really liked this book. I will say it is not the best written book, but I still liked it. I liked that it was a slow burn, it was not too dramatic, it made me laugh, it made me cry, and the plot twist at the end was actually surprising to me. I am holding back from giving it five stars because it was choppy at some parts, made me cringe in others, and I feel like I just read three books in one because of all that happened. I will say that there was a lot of back and forth, which normally I despise, but I did like it in this book because it felt more realistic and I felt more connected to the characters. I just love a fake marriage book and this checked almost every box for me!
Intense and complex enemies to lovers in a world of high power, betrayals, secrets, and deceit. Definitely nail biting and edge of seat throughout, and way more secrets than you might guess. Satisfying and addictive.
I really enjoyed this one - it was intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat! It was my first read by Zainab Sambo and I already can't wait to read more of the series!
