1.0 out of 5 stars
No sweetness OR love, but plenty of revolting savagery,
By My main complaint is that there's little passion and still little romance although Rogers describes scenes of rape and sexual torture in loving detail. Although I'm not anti-lesbian, I prefer to see the heroine having sex with the hero rather than her female friends. This book left me feeling like I needed a bath and the violence is the stuff of nightmares. Avoid, or buy used!

Precious little romance in this novel,
By
This review is from: Bound by Desire (Hardcover)
Fans of Steve and Ginny hoping for equal passion with their now-grown daughter Laura will be disappointed. As a heroine, she's spoiled and brainless and I frankly didn't like her. She has no character traits with which to sympathize and neither does the hero.

Just Kill Them Off and Be Done With It!,
By Alice Campbell (Sunbury, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bound by Desire (Paperback)
It's not very often I come across writing that goes against almost every grain in my body, but this is it. I found Laura's "super-strong-I-am-woman-hear-me-roar" attitude belonged the weakest female I have come across in a book. Take away her money and let her survive in the real world and this character wouldn't have a clue. I spent the first half of the book suspecting she was a lesbian just waiting to come out of the closet, and the second half convinced of it! Her love interest--was completely unbelievable--no substance. Why was he so angry? Because his father treated his mother badly? Then what does he do--go take over his father's title in England and live with his father's widow, of course, actually taking advice from her as if she were some kind of mother-figure. Laura's brother Franco, who was described as a strong, threatening sort of fellow, was as whimpy as they come, trailing throughout the book after a simpering little woman (Helena) that will not give up her title or her husband, like a damn dog sniffing after a poodle in heat. All through the book, carrying on an affair and always batting her little eyes at Laura to 'please help me cover up my affair with your brother,' Helena had absolutely no backbone and toward the end, when she is 'forced to intimacy' with Laura--I'm supposed to believe it's not what she wanted all along?? PLease! It was at this point I started cheering for the male kidnappers--disturbed though they were--they were honest about it! My greatest disappointment was that these 'women (and I use this term very loosely)' didn't die during their sojourn together!
