Meredith Duran follows up her stunning debut, Duke of Shadows, with another masterpiece, her second book, Bound by Your Touch. If you like to read a great book with strong, mature, multi-dimensional characters, sexual tension that leaps off the page, and a story that has you staying up way past your bedtime, look no further than Bound by Your Touch .Lydia Boyce would be affronted and appalled to be labeled a “bluestocking;” after all, she did graduate from college but she will readily admit to being a spinster. At twenty-six, she has long reconciled herself to the fact that she’s not as pretty as her sisters—a fact that was reinforced when four years prior, the man she fancied married her sister—but Lydia knows she’s smart and that her father, who’s digging up artifacts in Egypt, relies on her knowledge. It is her knowledge of antiques that has her declaring one to be a fake and places her at cross-purposes with the hero.
James, Viscount Sanburne, is everything Lydia’s not. He’s gorgeous, he draws the attention of everyone in the room, and he seems to have little substance that another rich lord. But, of course James has as many depths to him as beneath the placid waters of a lake. He may seem smooth and nonchalant, but underneath, there’s a strong current and hidden hurts that he constantly has to live with—at most, James’ pressing need is to humiliate his father. When Lydia declares the vase a fake, James is both annoyed and…intrigued by this woman whose honesty he finds refreshing and encourages. And when he blackmails her into a kiss, it leaves them both unsettled.
Matters become complicated when it appears Lydia’s absent father may have a hand in black market smuggling. Both Lydia and James have no reason to trust the other, but without it, there’s no hope for a future.
Final grade: A
