Amy's 4.5 star ARC Review of With Visions of Red (Broken Bonds Series) Books 1-3 set By Trisha Wolfe




This is a dark erotic thriller series intended for adult audiences.

Passion and lust ignite. Dark and light battle. This explosive first installment of the Broken Bonds series sets the exhilarating pace for a cat and mouse game where no one knows who's really pulling the strings.

Book One: Criminal profiler Sadie Bonds knows blood. Her affair with the gruesome, dark world of killers began long before she started applying her analytical skills to investigate gory crime scenes. She gets inside the killers' heads, breaks them down, relates to them on an arcane level. She prefers it this way--because it's safer to ally herself with the villain than the victim. At least, that's how she's coped ever since she was abducted and tortured as a teen.

She will never be a victim again.

Now, she's honed her skills in order to bring justice to these ritualistic offenders. Working alongside her colleagues, armed with sharp wit and a SIG, Sadie always catches her sadist. Until one ruthless serial killer gets inside Sadie's head, turning the tables. He knows her secrets. Her obsessions. The darkest, most deviant part of her soul.

When she meets Colton Reed, dangerous stakes are raised as he threatens to unravel her control and reveal her darkest fantasies. The sexy-as-sin bondage rigger at an exclusive BDSM club pushes her boundaries, forcing her to acknowledge that side of herself she fears. Plunged into a realm of torture and suffering, pain and pleasure, Sadie balances on the razor-sharp edge of two intersecting worlds threatening to swallow her.


Book Two: The UNSUB has made contact. 

After a rapid string of grisly murders shakes the usually peaceful city of Arlington, Virginia, the sadistic killings of young women lull into a deceptive calm. Agent Sadie Bonds knows the terror isn’t over; serial killers don’t stop until caught. 

And this sadist has targeted the profiler, revealing pieces of her dark past and weaving her secrets into each gruesome crime scene. Is the killer someone from Sadie’s past, her present? Or is he part of a fated future she brought on herself? The answer lies within the riddle of the copycat killings, ones mimicked after the infamous Blood Countess. 

As tension brews in the department awaiting the UNSUB’s next move, Sadie’s more than on edge—her deviant cravings for the possible perpetrator have ratcheted out of control. She needs the feel of Colton’s ropes binding her, sheltering her from stark reality. 

Only Colton Reed has his own twisted secrets that threaten to unravel not only Sadie as they come to light, but the UNSUB’s carefully constructed web now entangling both the profiler and her sexy bondage rigger. 

Book Three: Who is the UNSUB? 

For Agent Sadie Bonds, finding the answer to that question means the difference between life and death for someone close to her. The UNSUB’s latest abduction reaches right into the heart of the ACPD, forcing every member of the department to search within their ranks for the sadistic perpetrator.

Suspicion not only clouds the task force; it slithers into Sadie and Colton’s bond, challenging their love. Discovering the truth means facing their past together. Sadie’s connection to Colton has quieted her inner demons—but is she strong enough to confront the real monster?

All players take their places as the stage is set for the final scene. With the UNSUB manipulating the game, even Sadie and Colton fall victim, spiraling deep into the darkness that threatens not only their lives, but their trust. As Sadie navigates a tortuous maze, Colton will do whatever is takes to protect her.

The truth will set you free. Only for Sadie, her truth will test the very fabric of her reality. She must silence the threat, or risk losing everything and everyone she loves. 











Sadie Bonds was tortured for days at the age of sixteen. Pain, blood and the minds of monsters consumes Sadie now. She needs to get inside the heads of psychopaths and find out what makes them tick. Sadie is dark, twisted and desperately tries to free her mind but it seems she is always going to be bound to the dark within her; her past. Colton Reed is ready to rid Sadie of her demons. He can help her forget if she will allow him in. 

In the first book, Sadie is on the hunt for a serial killer who tortures and then kills young females. The crime scenes open the nightmares back up. Being held captive leaves her soul black and drives her directly into Colton’s web. The psycho that Sadie is chasing wont quit and neither will Sadie. Working with SIG, Sadie always catches her prey -- Until one ruthless serial killer gets inside Sadie’s head. The freak has turned the tables. Whomever he is knows her secrets, knows her obsessions and knows how black her heart and soul is. 

In Book 2, Sadie is working harder than ever to discover who the UNSUB is. Even more murders are occurring and Sadie is no closer to finding the sicko responsible than she was after the first murder. Sadie is on edge and the only person that can bring her back from the dark is Colton. Something isn’t right with Colton though. Sadie knows it. She reads people, gets in their heads and finds out how they tick. Colton’s tick is off. But why and what is he hiding and why does she keep going back for more. – Sadie will never be a victim again …. Or will she? You would think once was enough. 

Every time you get an answer there are even bigger questions being laid at your feet. I don’t even know how you get to this point when you write. There is some sick stuff going on throughout these pages and its not over yet. My mind is a wreck. Whatever Colton is hiding is big and Sadie hasn’t told Colton about her past. Fear drives both of these characters and ends up taking a seat right next to you wrapping you all up in its goodness. YIKES! 

The UNSUB --- that’s one twisted sadistic freak. Still in book 2 this could be anyone. There is no guessing. I mean you could guess but I doubt its that evident. Book 3 should have our answers .. at least I hope! 

In Book 3 the UNSUB has made contact and he has laid the playing field. Everyone is under Sadies eye and nothing points to one particular person. This is one bad ass ending. It’s a complete mind frick. I will say it again .. whatever you think .. yeah .. keep moving because its just .. no. WHAT?!?!?! -- The monster … uh huh … I know Im probably not making any sense but I cant say what I want because I don’t do spoilers. Just read it … Im tongue tied. Really. The end .. there is something so ridiculous (in a good just gross oh my gawd way) that your mouth will be hanging open. Just find a passerby to push it back closed for you. LOL! OMG! 

If you have a queasy side to you this is NOT your book. If you are a freak then click it up now. It’s the entire story in one big box. Thankfully this is the ARC I received because I would have been throwing the Kindle if I would not have had them back to back. How in the hell Trisha came up with this story is a mind bender. I don’t even want to know but dang! I love reading new authors and this one is a keeper. 

Thank you for the ARC Trisha! Review to post on Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.
